WOOTTEN for a renewal of his saloon license > in the town of Corning. This action is taken as a sop to the temperance > people of this county who are a growing and uncertain factor in county > politics. The evidence against the saloonkeeper who was under fire was > largely heresay and referred to incidents outside the jurisdiction of the > Board. Supervisors SANSOM, LEE and CHASE voted for turning down the > application for a license. Chairman H.C. KAUFFMAN refused to vote and > Supervisor VESTAL was absent.
