Eight License Applications Refus-
ed-UnanimouS Order of Court.
Argument Court convened last Mon
day, with President Judge B. w. Green
and Associates John Mcdonald and
Geo. J. LaBar, presiding.
After transacting the usual legal
business, such as appointing admins
traitors, approving accounts and deeds,
hearing arguments, etc the court took
up the license applications for the
year 1907.
The following remonstrance having
been presented to the Court, His
Honor, Judge Green, read the same to
those present:
IN THE COURT OF QUARTER SESSIONS OF
CAMERON COUNTY, DECEMBER TERM,
1906.
To the Honorable the Judges Of the
Court Of Quarter Sessions.
We, the undersigned, pastors of
churches in the Borough of Emporium
in said county respectful ly beg to peti-
tion your Honors and to represent that
we are greatly interested in the moral
welfare and peace of said Borough, and
are anxious to keep said Borough in
condition of high responsibility and
purity. We therefore beg to call the
attention of your Honors to the fact
that the granting of licenses to sell
vinous, malt and spirituous liquors in
said Borough has in the past greatly
exceeded any public necessity or re-
quirement, and the present applica.
tions being in equel number, we are
constrained to protest. We are inform
ed there are now seventeen (17) appi-
cations for license in the Borough of
Emporium. This is as great a number
as is usually granted 10 city or b,r-
ough of two or three times the popula.
ton of this Borough, and is certainly
beyond the necessities of the public.
We appeal to your Honors to see this
fact and in the exercise of your own
good judgments, with the courage that
we know you to possess, refuse to grant
more licenses than your judgment ap-
proves.
And your petitioners will ever pray,
etc.
