ing the past year for any violation of the

Accompanying this order is the declara-
tion that the court will not grant renewal
Of license to any party against whom any
return for violation of the license law has
been made and the case has not been passed
upon and disposed OF by the court
The first publication of the list of license
applicants will be made on the gath inst, in
three newspapers designated by the court
On January IL, 1898, all applications by
present sholders of licenses for old stands
against which no remonstrances have been
filed will he granted by the court. As to all
cases where remonstrances have been filed,
ofapplioations for new stands and new appli-
cations for old stands day will be desig-
mated by the court for hearings after it grants
the licenses that are clear on the list.
The time within which remonstrances
must be filed will expire on January T. 1898.
