peals Are Decided.

Heretofore whenever an application for a
liquor license was refused the applicant
was given forty-eight hours notice by the
police to close up. This morning Mr.. Frank
Madigan. acting as attorney for a num-
Der of applicants who had been served with
notice to close up. appeared before the
Commissioners and argued at some length
against the enforcement of the rule. until
at least the applicant had been given an
opportunity to file an appeal. The Commits
sioners decided that in view of the fact
pended a closing until the appeal had been
heard they would not oppose the request.
Hereafter. however, 1t is the policy of the
commissioners to give the rejected appli-
cant notice to appear before the excise
board within a certain time and show
cause why his application should not be
refused, and the action of the board upon
this answer Is to be final in all cases.
