The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1899-02-18
had expired, when application was

1888
made for a renewal.
The application was denied, on the
ground that the proprietors of the park
had violated the provisions of the license
law by selling drink from more than one
par From that arose the statement that
Thompson a been refused a license by
the courts, and that the Introduction of
the Martin bill was simply a scheme to
have the Legislature override the courts.
Judge Jessup held that there could be
no more tina one bar conducted in I'M
one place, no matter how large a place it
might be-" said a lawyer at the capitol
yesterday. "Other eminent jurists enter
tain opposite views and there seemed a
chance fo- a contest in the courts. But
as such a contest weuId involve a great
deal of time, it was thought that the bet
ter way would be to bring about the pas
sage of an act which would remove all
DOUBT as to the law and settle the ques-
ton for good and all. And that is what
the act was introduced for.
THE bill, as amended in the Commit
tee on Miscellaneous Business, REQUIRES
that the court or other body granting
such license, shall impose a separate

in such application. 1t also requires that
the application shall designate the num-
per and location of the places in such
picnic grounds where liquors are to be
sold. The power to grant licenses is left
with the courts and it is discretionary
with them to grant or to deny such
license"
