To the Honorable, the Senate:

To the Honorable, the Senate:
Gentlemen:-I have the honor
to return to your honorable body
without approval Senate Bill No.
"A, an act restricting the sale of
liquor in certain localities and
providing penalties for violation
of this act.
NY objections to this bill are
that the subject matter contained
restricting the sale OF liquor in
certain localities cannot be con
sidered in any sense other than
special in character.
Our State law empowers the
county officers to issue a license
to any person applying to do
business in any part of the State,
providing that such business is
carried out IN a decent and order.
ly manner, including wholesale
and retail goods, wares and NOR
chandise of every kind and char
actcr. This act restricts the sale
of liquor, etc. within five miles
of any public works. No person
can do business in the line indi-
Gated without getting licenses
from the State and Federal Gov
ernments. If the revenue officers
Of the government should be EN-,
powered to refuse applications
for licenses within the limits pre-
scribed, there would be no neces-
sity of the law. The law would,
if passed, make such communities
conform to military rules con-
ceruing United States garrisons
and reservations. The limit of
five miles is extreme and might
interfere with the Legitimate
business which should be allowed
under the laws of the State. This
bill, if passed, authorizes the sale
of liquor by wholesale, and il
wholesale liquor licenses be
granted there can be no reason
able excuse for depriving the re,
tail dealer from doing business.
Respectfully.

Goyarnnr
