CHARGES ARE ALL PROPERLY VERIFIED

the Case.
The Board Of Fire and Police Commission
ers again had before 1t Monday night the
matter OF the application Of Walter Noise
e. Co for liquor license. An impression
mas been created by the msndamus proceed
ing before Judge Scott that this application
has already been refused but such, il was
explained, Is not the case. 1t is stu pend
ing and has been under consideration in the
general exercise of the boards powers as
body vested with discretion under the law
and empowered to investigate fully all appli-
cations for license before action
During last nights meeting the raw was
gone over carefully. Section 2, page so (the
slocum law) known as section 1852 of the
Compiled Statutes of 1897, says that mo ac-
ton shall be taken by the board until at
least two weeks notice has been given"
but 1t does not limit the board to the two
weeks It also has the following restriction
upon the exercise by the board Of its powers
in any indiscrimnate manner: when Ohat
Is. after two weeks or more notice has been
given), If there be no objections in writing
made and fled to the issuance OF said license
and all other provisions of the raw have
been fully complied with IL may be
granted" The succeeding section requires
that the applicant must have been clear of
any violation of the law during the year pre-
vious Its wording is ''If it shall be salts
factorily proven that the applicant has been
guilty OF any violations within the period of
one year the board shall refuse said license
Acting therefore, according to the manda-
tory character OF the law directing the board
to refuse license TO any party who can be
proven guilty of violations Of the law during
the last year, and also taking the position
that Noise & Co. have not fully complied with
all the provisions of the law, particularly
with respect to the questionable character Of
several of the names filed to the petition for
license and the insufficiency of the bond
given, Chief Martin White filed a protest and
remonstrance, asking for a time TO be sen
for hearing. The protest is as follows:
