WANT a UNIFORM RATE

A Petition Presented to the County
COmIntssi ners Concerning Liquor
Licenses in West Haven.
A petition signed by many of the promi-
nent residents of West Haven, including
two of the three sslectmen, asks the county
commissioners for a uniform rate for
liquor licenses Issued in the town of
Orange.
Attorney Charles Kleiner, counsel for
the petitioners, made a forcible argument
in favor Of uniform price for Licences
before the commissioners yesterday. Three
or four saloon keepers, under the present
rule, take out licenses for the whole year
for which they pay $4O0. The other saloon
keepers doing business in West Haven are
given licenses for shorter periods, some for
five and some for seven months, for which
they pay in proportion to the length of
time for which the license is granted.
The bulk of the business is done during
the summer months, and the petitioners
claim that persons getting licenses for five
months should pay the full price for the
privilege of doing business. They ask that
the price charged for licenses be reduced
from $500 to 5000, and that every person
grented license pay $500, whether his
license covers period of Eve months or a
whole year,

-Four Hundred Trees Were Cut Down
by w. w. Ward of West Haven.
The state board of agriculture met at
noon at the capitol yesterday and appoint
ed three experts to investigate the case of
@. A. Lovelps appeal from the action of
Deputy G. G. Tillinghait in condemning
his pesoh orchard in Tolland county, and
ordering the destruction of the trees for
peach yellows. The committee appointed
includes the well-known peach grower J.
81. Hale of Glastonbury.
The subject of 'peach ye'lows" came
wildly home to our esteemed neighboring
townsman W. W. Ward of West Haven,
who in response to an order few days
ago from Inspector Fem of Milford, had
the 400 remaining trees in his peach or
chsrd in Orange all cut down, Mr.. Fem
finding that the "yellows" had attacked
the trees. MI. Ward didn't see the need
of such Wholesale slaughter of the trees
and is disposed to think that the cry about
"peach yellows'' is being overdone. Never,
theless he had the trses cut down, and that
ends the peach raising branch of his vari-
GUS enterprises, for the present, at lesst.
