LIQUOR LICENSES.
The rush to file applications for liquor
licenses is over, and today very few were re-
ceived The liquor men are evidently waiting
for a decision in the Bush case The Commits
sioners are also disposed to wait for
a decision before taking any action against
the liquor men, although when asked about the
matter they evade the question. Within the
past few days the Golfers of the LIQUOR men
have been sadly depleted, and SI15, TAI .O6 has
been transferred to the account Of the District
This represents SIS applications for retail
liquor licenses at $1S9. 79 and the old license,
and ninety-nine wholesale applications at s134
and the old license.
The auditor for the District stated today
that in the case Of liquor men whose intention
it was to go out Of business and who had
not made application for a new license. the
regular pro rata rebate would be made, and they
would not have to wait for special legisla-
ton before getting their money. In the case
OF an applicant for new license who files
his papers and puts up his money and then
seeks to withdraw his deposit the case
is different. The money cannot be with
drawn except by special act of Congress.
enormously paid for taxes and for licenses not
granted is found in section Of the act Of jan
uary 10, 1872, and reads follows: ''That
whenever any person shall deposit money
in the treasury for the purpose Of
procuring license, and said license shall
have been subsequently refused by legal su-
thority, it shall be the duty OF the accounting
and disbursing officers Of the District to re-
fund the money SO deposited, deducting there
from an amount justly proportionate TO the
time which such license shall have been
used by the applicant therefor or his represen-
tatives, and charge the amount SO refunded to
the fund which was created with the original
deposit"
The liquor men are in good spirits todey.
They claim that their side had the best OF the
argument all through and that Judge Morris
was evidently with them. At the District
building today they offered to bet tina.
the decision would be in their favor.
Attorney Thomas called upon the Commi sion
ers during the day and went over the case in
some detail. He said there was little doubt
that the District would win. He had found
several authorities on cases identical with the
Busch case and he had every reason in tine world
to believe that the District would get the de-
cision.
