The License Law

An important amendment to the Lii
cense Law passed the last Legi,lature.-
The law, as it stood. was imperative u
pom Judges of the Courts, requiring them
to grant tavern licenses without iDquir-
ing whether they are necessary for the
accommodation of the public. This sup
plement proposes to give Courts the same
discretionary powers as are contained in
the Act of 1884. That act provides that
no Court shall license any ino or tavern
which shall not be necessary to accommo-
date the public, and entertain strangers
or travlers, and authorizes the hearing of
evidence on these points.
The following is the language Of the
supplement:
Be it enacted, &C.. That it shall be law
ful for the several courts of quarter ses-
,ions of this Commonwealth to hear teti-
tions, in addition to that Of the applicant,
in favor of and remonstrances against the
application of any person applying to Ell =
ther of them for license to keep q ho-
tel. inn, or tavern and thereupon refuse
the same, whenever, in the opinion of
said court, such inn, hotel. or tavern is
not necessary for the accommodation of
the public and entertaium' ut of strao-
gers and travellers; aud so much of the
sixth sectioa of the act of Assembly, re-
lating to the sale of intoxicating liquors.
passed ihe~twentieth day of April, l64s,
as is inconsistent herewith, is herby re-
pealed: Provided, That the several
Courts OF Quarter Sessions empowered to
grant licenses shall have and exercise
such discretion, and no other in regard
to the necessity of inns and taverDs, ap-
proved lltb March. 1884: Provided fur
thcr. That nothing in this act shall apply
to the city Of Philadelphia.
