Jersey City, April II, 1899.
To the Honorable Board of Aldermen OF
Jersey City,
Gentlemen-In the matter of application
for the return of money paid by Peter H.
| Mulry for a license to sell liquor, I have
to advise that your Board is without pow
er to order a return of any portion OF ihe
fee paid by him. After obtaining a il
cense he was convicted of keeping a dis
orderly house, and sentenced to impris-
onment. The fact that he cannot con-
tinue to use the license is because of h 6
own fault, and creates no claim against
the city. I lave further to advise you
that whenever a licensee ceases to Use
his license before its expiration, he IS not
entitled to demand a return of any portion
of the fee paid by him. Applicants ask
the city to license them for a year; license
is granted. If they do not desire to use
1t there is not any statute under which
any portion of the fee paid can be re-
turned.
Respectfully.
ALLAN L. MDERMOTT,
Corporation Counsel.
