The Rpformer is authority for the
statement that suit is to he brought
against the town of Brattleboro by
direction CT Gov. Woodbury. and
State Auditor Hale for the liquor
agency profits for the year ending
Feb. l, 1895, which the town declin
ed to pay on the ground that the law
which was passed by the legislature
of 1894 and went into effect Feb. |,
1895, required towns to pay to the
state all the profits above 10 per
cent on the liquor business not only
in the future, but for the fiscal wear
ending on the day it went into effect.
The Rpformer says that the argu-
ment against the power of the state
to make the action retroactive is a
very strong one. and Brattleboro's
refusal to pay is based on the advice
OF three leading lawyers. There we're
also Is other towns in the state that
had balance of profit such as the
state Was reaching after that refused
to pay, and all the payments made
on the 1895 business have amounted
to only about $1,000. The purpose
of the suit is merely to test the con-
stitutionality of the statute in it's
retroactive feature, so that if consti-
tutional collection may be enforced
and il not the money paid may be re-
funded. The case will go up to the
