The hotel keepers in the town OF John
ston received sudden bump at the meet
ing OF the town council that met In the
town hall at Thornton yesterday after
noon In years gone by the fee for ho-
tel license has been So but some OF the
members OF the council had been inform
ed that last season. one or more OF the
proprietors had been given 10 understand
that IL they wanted license 500 would
be the sum needed 10 procure IL, and
that one or more of them paid that
amount. and but $40 OF IL got as far as
the town treasurer.
The majority OF the members OF the
council came 10 the conclusion that II
any number OF the keepers could afford
20 pay 800 year, all could and that II
that amount was paid the town should
have II instead OF politicians
All OF the hotel keepers we're on hand
yesterday but were not aware OF the fact
that an increase OF 800 had been made for
the leases. What surprised the large
number OF persons, who were In attend
ance was the fact that none interested
made the least sign OF a protest and II
was evidently case OF one waiting for
the other TO take the lead and then all
would follow.
IL is possible that an effort will be
this matter. The applications OF @. Ferri
on Hartford avenue and that OF ]. +.
Mclaughlin on the same thoroughfare
were not granted, while that OF l.. Mar
garita was held up for the reason that II
was not accompanied by the proper
bonds.
In the case OF Jacovene e. Gentle on
Atwood avenue Notwithstanding the fact
that there was a petition against II, but II
was Offset by strong recommendation
for Il. II was granted with the under
standing that those who had signed the
remonstrance could at the next meeting
be present with a plat and II proven that
they were the owners OF property within
200 feet that the license would be revoked.
A resolution was offered providing for
the sum OF $500 for the Arrest and convic-
tion of any person or persons who had or
might set fire to any building In the
town and $500 for the arrest and convic-
tion OF the person or persons who set fire
to the S. w. Simmons place on Thanks
giving Day.
