The Corporation Counsel
Renders Formal Opln-
ion to Excise Board.
APPLIES TO HOME FOR AGED
Decides That Chapel Where Inmates
Hold Services Brings 1t Within Mean
ing of Law Excluding Saloons From
vicinity-0pinion of Broad Scope.

The District Commissioners yesterday
received from Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the
Corporation Counsel, an opinion upon
the recommendation of the Excise Board,
requesting information whether the
Hcme for the Aged, conducted by the
Little Sisters of the Poor. is house of
religious worship within the meaning
of the act of Congress regulating the
sale of intoxicating liquors in the Dis
trict.
1t appears that Maurice Sheehan is at
present the holder of a barroom license
at 127 H Street northeast, and that he
desires to remove his saloon to 14o H
Street northeast, and to have his Ii
cense transferred to the latter number.
The premises to which Mr.. Sheehan de-
sires to move are about 300 feet from the
entrance to the home. On the second
floor of the home is a chapel, in which
religious services are held daily for the
benefit of the inmates, from which the
public is excluded.
Mr.. Duvall quotes the law relating to
the matter contained in section is of the
act of Congress, approved May II, 1894,
as follows:
Quotes From the Law.
THAT license for any of the purposes
specified in any section of said act shall
not be granted to any person to conduct
such business within 400 feet Of public
schoolhouse, private school. or house CT
religious worship, measured between the
nearest entrance to each by the short
est course of travel between such place
OF business and any schoolhouse, pri-
vate school, or house of religious wor-
ship, except in such places of business
as were located and licensed at the date
of the said act or previous to the erec-
ton or occupation of such schoolhouse,
private school, or place of religious wor-
ship.'
In view of the provisions of the law.
Mr.. Duvall gives it as his opinion that
the chapel referred to is house of re-
ligious worship within the meaning and
intent of the law. He also gives it as
his opinion that the distance between
the said house of worship and the pro-
posed location of any barroom is to be
measured from the exterior entrance of
the home.
1t is understood that, in view of the
instructions Of the Corporation Counsel
the proposed transfer of the license VIII
be denied.
