 The regular weekly meeting of the Board
 of selectmen was held last evening. Present,
 Selectmen Andrew (presiding), Reynolds,
 Feldman Cooper, Hugo, Hart and Craw- 1 ford. l When the minutes were read Selectman Feldman called attention to the fact that in previous years testimony had not been enter ed on the records regarding persons who had applied for licenses. He thought it was l wrong and unjust to citizens to have state
 ments detrimental to their character spread upon the records.
 Rev. MT. Mossman representing the s. P. c. | appeared before the Board and stated that he
 had taken pains to present no hearsay state
 ments against applicants for licenses, but
 had presented certified statements from a court officer
 Mir. Cooper favored striking from the rec
 ords all the testimony regarding parties ap-
 plying for licenses. The Board finally voted
 to accept the record.
 MT. Mossman stated that he hoped the
 Board would consider that objections of his society were not influenced by a spirit of
 malice. He withdrew objections to Mrs
 Nelly M. Tyler, having learned that the
 statement made by the police against her was
 unjust He said no objections would be
 made to her receiving a license before the
 County Commissioners
 Mir. Mossman stated that he was instructed
 I0- A1 |, sc
 the Board actually made 'sdue inquiry re-
 garding the character of applicants for licenses.
 Selectman Hugo said the Board would rec ommend all persons applying unless objec- hons were made.
 MT. Mossman said this was serious mat ter and he would inform his society of the action of the Board
