That was the question discussed at Monday night's Orem city council meeting. Ten of Orem's eleven tavern operators appeared at the meeting with a petition signed by each of them requesting a reduction in the price of beer licenses which under the present ordinance is set ait $300. The tavern operators outlined their reasons for the requested re-quested reduction among which were the fact that their volume of beer sales has decreased considerably during the past year oar two. Mayor J. W. Gillman rcealled the history of beer licensing licens-ing in Orem City from the time when there was only one establishment licensed to sell beer to the time when the beer license fee was set at $500 per year. He also related the difficulties diff-iculties involved in defending the decision of the city council coun-cil to prohibit the sale of beer on Sunday from the district court to the state supreme court. "The council is in agreement that it doesn't want to tax anyone out of business," Mayor Gillman said. "However, it does feel that the price of Orem's license should be reasonable reason-able and bear a fair relationship to those charged by other cities in the county. The council voted to study the petition of the tavern operators op-erators with the request that dancing be permitted in ianr-erns ianr-erns as an inducement to business.
