Washington Park License.

Lawyer Rex, representing the Washing
ton Park license last Thursday, withdrew
The application filed on the opening day of
the Term. The application was made to
comply with the terms of the bill which
has passed the Senate, and was expected to
have been law before final action by the
Court, but unforeseen obstacles have inter
vened, and the bill was not made law.
La addition to the formal rem0Bstrance
to the license, lawyer Iszard presented two
petitions to the court, protesting against
the granting of the license, and setting
forth reasons why it should be refused.
We quote the substance of these -
First. That the place is not necessary to
accommodate the travelling public.
Second That the granting of license
to such place is not fulfilling the spirit
of the license law.
Third That such a license conduces
more to tipping propensities than to
general good
Fourth That the officers of the present
company are the same as those of the
Washington PARK Land and Amusement
Company, which applicant had grossly and
fllgrantly VIC ated the compact of the
former license.
Fifth That the applicant has been shown
unfit to be trusted with the maintenance
Of such a resort.
