A PERMIT Nor REGARDED AS A LIQUOR LICENSE
Some CONFUSION has been caused lately in the pro-
secutiOn of cases OF unlicensed bars in the Police
Court by the practice of the District Commission
from applicant Tor license and giving them per-
mltS TO sell pending the action Of the license board.
Judge Smell holds that the permits are not bona
hde licenses, and that the Commissioners have no
authority to give people permission to sell liquor
In violation OF the law. There was case before
The court yesterday in which the defendant held
one OF these permits. and his counsel asked for a
continuance until the license board takes flnal
action on his application Che having had one con-
miSSi0nerS.) The court said that he could take no
notice OF these permits, and as the law requires
license, he would impose the fine sos or 60 days in
Jall- Mr.. Pad@ett said that If the Commissioners
dli not wish 10 prosecute these men they should
uiTect t1e policemen not To arrest them.
