Woodstock people will have to 60
outside for their liqaor for any and
all purposes. The penalty for
pockct-pcddliug and other forms of
legal distribution OF spirits is stiff
enough to make the business some
what hazardous, and the town
agency is closed. The local drug
gists, it is understood, will not or
cannot take out licenses. There has
been no petition passed around for
the issuance of this form of license,
but it is understood that all or a
majority OF the doctors are opposed
to it and without their 81 signatures Il
paper of this kind isn't worth much.
