HOW LIQUOR LICENCES WILL BE ISSUED.
some question has arisen since the abolition
by the Commissioners of the liquor license
board as to the course applications tor liquor
licenses will take. In the liquor license notice

the District as heretofore, and after deposit OF
the amount Of such license with the collector
of taxes the license will remain in the hands OF
the assessor tor examination and recommends

only change involved in the abolition of the
license board Is to transfer the inquiries and
examination which each application involves
from the former license board to the District
assessor.
