The joint Legislative committee ON the sub
ject of license law made four reports to-day.
The majority report, signed by three Senators
and five Representatives, recommends giving
licenses to inn-holders and victuallers, to per-
sons who sell in quantities not less than one
gallon or in the original packages, and to
npothecaries. The City Council and town
meetings may prohibit the licensing either or all
of the classes, and fixes the sum to be paid for
licenses. Every license is to be given on con-
ditIon that no public bar shall be kept by the
licencee; he shall not sell on Sunday unless he
be an apothecary; that he will not sell to any
minor or student, or to any man whose wife re-
quests him not to; and the liquor sold by him
shall not be drank ON his premises unless he be
an inn-hOlder or victualler; cider and beer and
malt liquors may be sold by other persons who
are registered and under the supervision of the
police. Lf
A minority report, signed by one Senator and
three Representatives, favors the existing pro-
hibitory law. The other two reports are sign
ed by one member of the committee. The first
one recommends a slight modification of the
present law, and the other suggests the pres
ent as not the proper time for legislatlng Oh
temperance, and proposing reference of the
whole subject to the next Legislature.
