"No, Whether considered from a
moral or economic view point my an
swer would be the same." ;
Robert Howelt Farmer, Jonathan
! Cieek "I don't think so. I don't
btlieve that it would help their sit

stores. The revenue would not pay
for the extra court costs."

ter "No. If you turn liquor loose,
it would only make matters worse in
Swain County."
John W. Shook Clyde "The gov
ernment took so much of the land out
of taxation in Swain County, that it
might help, but on the other hand
the liquor stores might increase the
court costs so much, that the county
would not be benefitted in the long

it would help the taxes to come down,

no, is because the more liquor cases
you have in court, then the more ex
