quirenents. The petitioners had the sig
natures of about four-fifths of the front.
age OF property within the district con-
templated by law, and are required to have
| only two-thirds.
Finally, the license asked for 10 for one
month only. If at the end of that period
the petitioners shall be found to trans
gress any of the requirements which sup
port and maintain public morality. it
then will be time enough to revoke their
privilege or refuse continuance of the
license. As it is. they are being pre-

that all OF their Improvements will be of
