ISSUING LICENSES.
Commissioners Burleigh and Dunhan
 Visit Waterbury.

NAbAC WaCerDurYs
 County Commissioners c. A. Burleieh and A. B. Durham with Prosecuting Agent Colley are sitting to-day in the police court room receiving license money for the coming year. One hun dred and sixty applications for the sale of liquors or beer have been made, a slight increase from last year. In all cases which have been settled, either in the police or superior courts, the grant ing of licenses is refused. The license can be taken out, however, under another name on payment of $500 the same as a new applicant. Parties who have cases pending are refused license. Women who have had licenses for years or before the rule was made by the com missioners that women could not take out a license, are allowed license this year. There is probably one case of this kind in the city. Last year when men died who held licenses the same was trans ferred to the widow. This year these women cannot take out a license, but can have some male friend secure the license. The commissioners intend to cut down the number of beer licenses and for that reason but few have been issued. Nearly all are refused for tre present until the commissioners can look into the matter as regards locality.
 Up to noon the following had re- ceived liquor licenses: John Byron, jr, Henry J. Flanagan, Richard F. Phelan, Richard Fitzpatrick, T. H. Hayes, Thomas Malley, D. F. Connor, Thomas c. Lalley, George Barrett, M. Heffer- nan, F.. R. Kelley, Maurice Walsh, E. Beaulac, T. Brennan, J. H. Hapenny, T. Horrigan, E. Sullivan, M. Calvin, T. O'Rourke, Wm Moore, M. Taylor, P. Hackett, J. H. Ash and J. w. Hod. on.
 The commissioners closed to-days session before three o'clock ill ol der to get the money in bank. At that time they had issued 57 licenses the following being in the list this afternoon: Patrick Stapleton, Patrick Calhane, Daniel Nc Carthy, Edward Wagner, Kenny and Duggan, Thomas Kane, P. Corden, Joseph Guest, John Hammell, Michael Lawlor, Thomas Kilmartin, George Schwenk, E. J. Tobin, Thomas Hurley, William c. Sheehey, Matthew Quinn, James B. Watts, John Madden, James M. Claffey, Timothy F. Flynn, Delaney & Condon, Marcus Hellmann, John R. Corbett, George L. All mann, Robert McGrath, Patrick Mooney, Joseph Mangini, D. J. Mahany, Frank Brothers, William Kieley, James Fitzgerald and c. K. Kilbride & Go. There were three licenses of $500 each, 51 at $400, two at $200 and one drug gist's license of $50.
