court decided that it was not violation
Of law, and that the method of doing
business was legal
The superintendent of police follow
ing this decision, has notified all the
captains and there VIII be no Iurthef
attempts to make complaints against
the green stamps.
This is in accord with a recent de-
cision Diminishing a complaint in Lynn,
also with the judgment of the court in
Lowell, and 1t confirms the opinion of
the Hon. Robert o. Harris, district at
torney, who was applied to by mer-
chants in Broekton. and who, as re-
Gently as Dec II last, gave them a
written opinion that the business was
legal, and was in no sense violation Of
