Montpelier, Dec. 12--The summer
hotel liquor business was dealt a blow
by the Vermont legislature today when
the House killed bin to allow the
granting Of sixth class licenses, in towns
which vote mo- on the general propo-
sition Of licensing the sale Of liquor
but which vote yes on the summer
hotel sale The bill was introduced bv
Mr.. McCuen Of Nergennes and was re-
ported adversely by the temperance
committee, and very strenuous, IL
small, minority presented its report in
favor Of the passage Of the bill.
The bill found its chief supporter in
Mr.. McCuen, although Mr.. Hatch of
Strafford and Sherwin of Chester spoke
q word in its support. Mr.. Archibald Of
Manchester, the seat OF the greatest
summer hotel business In the state. OBJ
posed the proposition, saying that Yer
mont would be dotted with "Raines
law hotels If the bill should become
law. He said that the shores Of the
states lakes and ponds would be cover
ed with these hotels and the peace and
quiet Of the summer residents would be
disturbed very much BY the brawlers
who would come for temporary sblow-
ups" Other speakers against the pro
position of summer hotel licenses were
Mr.. Hayden Of Jericho. Mr.. Haublin OF
Cornwall, Harris of Landgrove. Chase
of Greensboro, Davis of Fairlee, Grif-
fifth Of Poultney, Kicker of Groton and
Hurlburd Of Hyde Park. The last
named gentleman stated that he wanted
no Vermont industry founded wholly
on rum
The fact that amendment after
amendment to the present local option
law has been turned down by the pres.
ent legislature initiated against Mr..
McCuen, and his amendment was lost
and then the main bill. The amend
ment proposed that on application of
five per cent Of the voters Of town
might petition the selectmen to include
in the town meeting WARNING a local
option provision to grant summer hotel
licenses, the licenses to be given to any
botel but to be operative only during
the summer months.

resolution to adjourn Friday, December
