ACTING ON LIQUOR LICENSES.


The liquor license struggle is now at its
height Every rejection brings upon the Com
missioners posse Of interested property own
ers, and the applicant accompanied by his
lawyer; the former to protest against rehear-
ing In the case, the latter to secure one.
Where the police have reported that the place
in question is suspected of violating the Sun
day law, the Commissioners insist that an affi-
davit be filed by the applicant setting forth
that such is not the case. This is always done,
and the applicants, it is held, in many cases
perjure themselves. Last evening the Com
missioners acted on applications as follows:
