 Iectmen-Decisions ofthe Board in Exec
 utiye Session.
 The Board of Selectmen held an adjourned session in room 10, City Hall, last evening to hear objections by the S. P. C. to parties who had applied for licenses.
 The first case called was Thomas F. Shay of "A George street. He was objectedto be- cause he had been before the City Court dur ing the past year. The first witness called was Augustus Keasle, who said that he had frequently been in Shay's place and had never seen any trouble or disturbance there. Phillip Farley and Halsey Hurd also testified that they had never heard anything bad about the reputation of the place. Henry Whitney said he lived near Shay's place and never heard anything wrong about him. He said he was @ railroad man, but was home on Sundays. Charles Finch said he worked for Mir. Keasle as sign painter. Hal never heard anything wrong about Shay's place.
 Charles R. Whedon who appeared for MT. Shay, said that as a prosecuting agent for New Haven county he had never had any complaint made to him regarding MT. Shay keeping open on Sunday.
 Mir. Mossman, representing the s. P. C,re- piled that there were other prosecuting agents beside MT. Whedon in the city, and because his attention had not been called to the it was no reason that there were not grounds for complaint against MT. Shay.
 The case was laid on the table for execu- tive session.
 The next case taken up was that Of J. Stark, of 15 George street. He was objected to because he was fined $50 and costs in the City Court for keeping house of in-fame.
 Attorney David Strouse appeared for the defendant. He argued that as MT. Stark's case had been appealed he had not really been convicted.
 Justice H. Brohm testified that he was 0 grocer near MT. Stark and had occasion to visit Mir. Stark's place once or twice a week. He had never seen anything wrong.
 Robert Nutley, 394 Oak street, was object ed to for keeping open after midnight on two occasions and having been fined for so doing. Mir. Nutley said he had never violated the law Intentionally. He said he had not been arrested since he took out his last license.
 Colonel George A. Basserman's was next called He was objected to because he was arrested for violating the Sunday law. Colonel Basserman said he had never been convicted in the City Court. He took de- murrer and appealed the case to the Superior Court
 The case of Mrs. Margaret Lyman, ST Hallock street, for keeping open after mid
  very brief one.
 Mrs. Mary Ann Thomas, of g Church street, was objected to for selling on Sunday. She settled on payment of costs.
 Howard w. Maine, 37 Church street, was charged with keeping open on Sunday. The hearing on his case was brief, the only evil dence presented being a copy of the City Court record
 Frederick Hogben, 333 Grand street, was objected to for keeping open on Sunday.
 William Bahring 9O7 State street, was charged with selling on Sunday, and, as the records showed, was sent to jail in default of payment of fine. Mr. Mossman asked for mercy in this case
 Peter Cashion. 293 West Water street, was arrested for selling without license and fined. This was the principal objection against him.
 R. s. Pickett, prosecuting attorney, came | in and objected to J. Stark having a license. l He said Stark had been convicted, twice for | having prostitutes in his place, and it had | been a common resort for persons of this | character. In selling liquor he had made his l place cover for prostitution and he thought | the Board should decide that he was not a | suitable person to receive a hcence. He 1 hoped Stark would not be granted license, l as he believed it would be to the injury of | the general public. l
 This concluded the hearing, and the Board | retired to their office for executive session. l When the doors were opened they announced | that they had recommended the following | licenses:
 Peter Cashion, 293 West Water; Mrs. Kate | Wrinn, % Oak; William Bahring, 9O7 State :; | H. w. Maine, 37 Church Frederick Hog ben, 333 Grand; Mrs. Mary Ann Thomas, l B Church; Margaret Lyman, S1 Hallock; l George A. Basserman, Rock Brewery and "A | Church. Robert Nutley, 343 Oak.
