Y The statement in this column last week
e that the license of John II. Flavin mad
r been revoked by the commissioners at
l Concord was incorrect, as he was not
e shown GLity of the charge of selling on
e Sunday, The bar licenses of both hotels
e were revoked for the above cause, but
= they We're allowed to retain their bottle
licenses for liquors not to be drunk on the
premises. The last license on this side of
the river expired two weeks ago and a
period of immunity from drunkenness is
thus tar observed much in contrast with
the experience of the past year. The re-
suits of no license the coming year will
be watched with much interest as COM
pared with the license of last year and
Prohibition two years ago. Bellows Falls
: may be depended upon to vote perma-
nently for the system which demonstrates
its usefulness in reducing drunkenness.
