vised No Further Action.

ment of justice was called to the pub
lished dispatch from San Juan, Porto

partment approved settlement in one
of the pending cases on the basis Of

$3.50 Instead Of $500.

New Brunswick, April 16.-Judge
Schenck has raised the fee for liquor
licenses in South River to $3.50. 1t

warrant the high fee.

the old figure restored, but Judge
Strong would not consent. Judge
