Claimed Liquor Seller Was Not wIIful
VloIator

Judge e. G. Mower, in the Burlington
city court Saturday, gave a decision
which, If upheld, will have an important
erect on the disclosure feature of the
present liquor law Of the state. This
point was raised in the case brought
against Lee Ravlin, a seconded license
holder OF Winoosld. The case grew out
Oh a disclosure made by Dan Monahan,
VINO was charged with a second offense in
city court. When Ravlin was in court he
admitted having received notice from the
commissioners that Monahan had been
drunk and that liquor should not be sold
TO him; but he said he did not know
Monahan. Judge Mower quoted the statute
as follows:
"A person who wilfully violates any of
the provisions of this act for which a
penalty is not otherwise prescribed, shall
be fined not less than $50 nor more than
$780, or be imprisoned not less than one,
nor more than three months, or both"
The judge said that he did not believe
the intent of the law was to make a
license wilful violater of the law when
he did not have knowledge of the identity
of a man to whom he sold liquor. Ravlin
was discharged.
This point has been much discussed by
saloon keepers, who claim that an in
justice is done them in the matter of dis
closures, as they assert that II is an i'm
possibility for a dealer to know the name
of every man to whom he sells. With 600
or 200 names posted they say it is i'm
possible for dealer or mis- bartender to
know all

mill church. two lime kiln quarries,
woodland, private road and bridge up

drilled and blasted from the solid ledge
into small rocks which are then carted
to the kins and dumped into their hawn-
ing mouths from whence soon arises
dense black smoke. During the busiest
season of the year the fires are kept
running day and night. After the lime
rock is properly burned, IT is shipped all
