WEDNESDAY. JUNE 25, 1890.

The county commissioners held 8 session at New Milford last Wednesday and refused to grant license to Thomas Manion. The remonstrants were leading citizens and business men of the town, over 20 witnesses being heard. About 200 were in attendance at the hearing, including many ladies. That is the honorable way to restrict the liquor traffic. When community is opposed to additional licenses being granted it is its duty to thus manifest 1t and not throw the whole responsibility for licenses upon the county com missioners, who naturally conclude that community that does not remon- strate is one that is willing to have an unlimited number of licenses granted.
