For Mrs. Mary II. Lowe.

The attention OF the members of the excise
board has frequently been called to the fact
that part of the property owners in the
neighboIhood of a place where a saloon
is proposed to be opened are kept in ignor-
ance of the fact that an application for
| license has been made.
In oIdar to render this impossible in the
future, the board has prepared a card stat
ing that MI. Blank has applied for liquor
license at this place. This card must be
posted in conspicuous place on the out
side OF the Building and remain there until
final action upon the application has been
taken by the excise board. The card. if
destroyed, erremoved, in any manner, must
be replaced by a new one, which the board
VIII supply on application. The board has
given notice that any place not licensed on
October 81, 1895, VIII be considered q
new place.
TRICK WON'T WORK HEREAFTER.
Some applicants for liquor licenses here
| tofore have first fitted up their places at
great expense and then plead before the
board that they have incurred heavy debt
and on this account should be granted per-
mission 10 sell
The board gave notice that no attention
VIII IN the future be paid to the fact that
the applicant has spent money in fitting up
/ a new baT-rOom. In order TO give the
board an opportunity to transact its busi-
ness as the board of assistant assessors
the board VIII hereafter consider liquor Ii
censc applications only on the second
