TIE RUSH FOR LIQUOR LICENSES.

There has been such rush of business in the Of
flee of the Board of Excise, at BOnd-st. and the
Boyery. within the last few days that the clerks
have been obliged to .protoc themselves against
tho flood of liquor dealers by an extra strong
wooden railing. The licenses for about one-third
of all the iquOrstores and beer-shOps III the city
expire each year between April ID and May 10.
That fact is due to the changes in the proprietor
ship of such places on May l of each year. The
present Excise Commissioners do not pass upon the
applications, during rush of business: as quickly
as former commissioners have done. They wish TO
be sure that none of the applicants are ineligible
to hold licenses by i reason xcis of G0R-
Mr.. Morris insists upon getting reports
from police captains in doubtful cases and the
other two Commissioners agree with HIM in his de-
termination not to issue licenses to disreputabe
places Delays in granting larger number OF IL
censes are inevitable under such circumstances.
Upward of 500 dealers whose licenses expired about
the first of the month have not been able to get
their licenses renewed yet, because they did not
make application early enough. The result is that
the police will be expected to stopthe sale of liquor
for a few DAYS in many places which will be II,
censed as soon as the Excise Board be satisfied
as to the character of the propretOrs. During April
,464 licenses granted and fees amounting TO
$102, $40 were collected.
