LICENSE FOR MELRosE HOUSE.
Commissioners Grant One to n. B.
Haus at West Brattleboro.

There was comparatively small at
tendance at the hearing Saturday ev-
ening before the local license board
upon the application of Harry B. Haus
for a first class license to sell liquor in
the Melrose hotel in West Brattleboro.
A petition signed by several people
was presented to the board, remon-
strating against the granting of the Ii
cense ON the grounds that the west vii
lage did not need liquor license and
would be better without it. Rev. l.. NJ.
Keneston and Rev. n. A. Wood both
spoke against issuing the license, say
ing that the community would be bet
ter without it. Mr.. Keneston said that
the objection was not made simply on
prohibition grounds but because a
number of the citizens believed it for
the best interests of all concerned to
have no license in the hotel. He had no
objections against Mr.. Haus, and ad-
mitted that no fault could be found
with the way the Melrose had been
conducted under license. but he
thought that the hotel was kept open
solely for the sale of liquor and for
that reason was little better than
saloon.
The commissioners gave no decision
Saturday evening but on Monday de-
cided to grant Mr. Haus first class
license, refusing George H. Danyew's
application for a first class license to
sell liquor in the Brattleboro house. All
the licenses that the commissioners
have power to grant have now been
given out.
