The application of D.. Isenberg for
a transfer of his bottling license
from 76 Watson avenue to So New

the table. Mr.! Schoonover said that
this matter was to be considered as a
landlord and tenant He had
been out to see the place and found
ii small, dirty and almost unfit for a
place of business. Mr.. Hanson said
he thought the best plan was to have
the Board of Health look in to the
IL after and report. Mr.. Hoy has also
seen the place and while it was in a
dirty condition it could be readily
cleaned up. Mr.. Isenberg, who vas
present, was given permission to
speak in his own behalf. Mr..
Schwartz, agent for the property, al
so spoke against any transfer being
made. On motion the application
was laid on the table for further
consideration.
Mr.. Hoy stated that while it was
-4nArnI1.y ,nl4k~~1 A1a+ Ua,A~ahn
and Smith had been fined for illegal
selling and that Hans Lehman had
opened his place of business on Sun
day, the board could lot take action
until a complaint, signed by two per-
sons, had been formally made to the
board. He said that no doubt others
would follow the example of Mr..
Lehman on next Sunday, but that If
given the opportunity the board
v Guild gladly take action on the mat
ter. The excise ordinance, section
20, says that all places must be
closed on Sunday and section 81 that
all places must be closed from IL p.
m. to 5 a. m. and the licenses of any
rerson violating these sections may.
be revoked. The reporting of viola
tons to the police and the filming by
the recorder does not bring the mat
ter before the Excise Board, but that
ii a complaint is made in the proper
manner it will certainly be acted up
on. Mr.. Schoonover suggested that
the board notify all persons found
guilty of violating the law that they
show cause to the board why their
licenses should not be revoked, but
Mr.. Hoy said he had seen the city
attorney and he had advised that this
could not be done unless complaint
by two persons had been formally
made. Messrs. Hanson and Goldman
also spoke. emphasizing what had
been said. Peter Kozub, who was
present, said that there were places
in town where beer was sold without
d license and he could prove it. Mr..
Hoy said that if he would get an
ether person and make complaint the
board would be glad to take action.
The following resolution was pass
ed by the board:

Of the bar or business room in which

the public street; provided, however,
this rule shall have no application to
