THE PARK.
BREWERY
LICENSE.
Interesting Questions Submitted
10 tho Appellate Court on
Certiorari Writ Petition.

Two interesting questions were raised
court today on the hearing on petition for
a writ Of certloran brought BY Edgar w.
Dexter ct al. against the board of H.
cense commissioners OF the city of Prov
idence.
One is whether the land within the limit
or Roger Williams Park is to be counted
and excluded as neutral the same as the
land comprised in a highway. and the
second whether al tlp land owned by the
Park Brewing company is to be counted
as within the licensed premises.
a license TO sell and manufacture in
toNicatins liquors was granted by the Ii
cense commissioners OF this city 10 the
Park Brewing company for the premises
1896 TO hoo Elmwood avenue being land
adjoining Roger Williams park
The granting of this license caused
much discussion throughout the city.
Some property owners who reside oppo-
site the Elmwood avenue entrance 10 the
park, living within zoo feet OF the park
determined AZ possible TO prevent the
brewery carrying on business
The remonstrants, who have cited the
commissioners Into court, admit that IL
the. land In Roger Williams park is not
counted as neutral they are not entitled
20 have the action Of the commissioners
quashed.
This admission Is made because the
statute requires a majority OF the land
within 200 feet TO be opposed. or rather its
owners TO be opposed 90 the granting OF
the license. in order 10 overcome the 1u-
dicial discretion OF the commissioners.
The licciise commissioners were repre-
sented by City Solicitor Coiwell and As
sis taht CITY Sdicitor Baker.
They contended that the city had
right To be considered In She matter.
Terrence NJ OReilly contended that
Roger Williams park was held by the city
and dedicated for public uses, and that
its land should be treated as neutral.
Assistant City Solicitor Baker argued
that the land other than that on which
the ,bgilding stood when the license was
granted. should be counted as part OF the
licensed premises.
Mr. Baker showed that II park land
was TO he counted -neutralr-MhX the
city would be unable to protest against
the licensing of saloons near the parks
and that the board OF license commission
ers was independent OF the city council.
The case was heard by Chief Justice
sthess and Justices Tillinghast and
Douglas.
