 The New Haven News finds that the committee who revised the Connecticut statutes made a mistake in regard to the license law. A statute of 1882 required that the names of the five citizens and tax payers who endorsed an application for a liquor license be published in the news papers or be advertised on the public sign post. This made it difficult to get endor- sers. The legislature of 1883 changed this so that nothing but the mere application had to be advertised, hut in section 3,063, page 668, of the new revision, it is stated that the endor sement as we'll as the applica- tion must be published. This is clearly an error of the revisement committee. In Bridgeport Judge Lockwood is reported to have advised the town clerk that no trouble would result from emitting the names. The law, however, is positive.
