No law regarding the distance that a saloon must be from a school building.
OPINION
{*138} I have just received your letter of the 14th instant asking if there is any state law regarding the distance that a saloon must be from a school building.
I regret being compelled to say that there is no statute on that subject. An impression has spread abroad that there is such a statute, probably due to the fact that in bills introduced in the state legislature there is a limit as to the distance from school houses within which a saloon might be permitted.
You are being directed to the most recent version of the statute which may not be the version considered at the time of the judgment.
