Burlington, April 2. While a notice
is sent by bonrd OF license commits

court Saturday BY Judge Mower and II
this decision is upheld by the higher
conrts il will have wide effect upon
the disclosure feature of the license law,

the man who has made the disclos-
me.
This point was raised in the case
brought by States Attorney Sherman
against Lee Raviin, i second class H.
Ger see Of Winooski. The case grew out
of disclosure made by Dan Monahan,
who was charged with second offensc in
city court. When Ravlin was III court
he admitted having received notice from
the commissioners that Monahan had
been drunk, and that liquor should not be
sold TO him, but hr claimed that he did
not know Monahar-
In rendering bin decision, Judge Mower
