| Something of a surprise was sprung
| on the commissioners when w. w. San
derson of the firm of w. w.
& j. Fl. Sanderson, appeared yesterday
| forenoon and withdrew his application
for license at the Commonwealth hotel.
| The application was no sooner disposed
of than the new proprietor was intro
duced and an application taken out in
! his name.
George w. Armstrong has not filed
his application for license at the Union
station, although this fact cannot be
considered the fault of the applicant
/ The delay is understood to have been
caused by a delay in the office of the
railroad company with whom some sort
! of arrangement is necessary each year
A few druggists have not applied as
yet but as application for licenses OF
| this sort may be filed at any time dur
ing the year, this fact is not particular
| ly significant. The Worcester Brewing
! Company, which is in a rather unsettled
| condition at the present time, has made
no application.
| The list will be published during the
ensuing week, and then, if not before
| the remonstrances against certain APP
plicants will begin to come in.
