Judge White-Two years ago there was bitter
complaint against you and 1 refused you a
license. The complaint hear this year is that
there is great deal of noise in your barroom,
so that your dodgers can't sleep. Now, you
must be careful in the future.
Lewis W Walser, 313 South Main street, had .
license for the past three years.
Made One Man Careless.
Judge White-You have had license 50 long
that you got careless and either have no res
taurant or don't pay any attention to ir. have
also heard that when travellers 90 to your place
you tell them you are crowded and turn them
off, think it wouldn't hurt to knock careless
people out. Besides this you swear in your
application that you run a hotel, when you
only have eight rooms; that's not hotel.
MIR; Walser-Well, my restaurant furnishes
10 TO 20 meals day.
Judge White-Oh, that isn't q restaurant
Why, know of widows in this town who fur
| nish twice as many meals as that every day,
and yet don't pretend or have too much sense
| to claim that they run restaurant.
Verona borough was next on the list, and
Judge White intimated that they could grant
no license in that borough. Attorney Hunter
stated to the Court that the Supreme Court
did not decide on the question clearly, and they
wanted another chance to take the case up and
get clear decision on the question of the dis
| trict being prohibitory one. The Court will
consider the case.
