In connection with the granting Of the
Washinton Park license, Judge Starr made
the following statement
"It is common rumor that during the
past year, the license has permitted var
ious amusments, shows, ETC., to be habit
ually conducted and operated at the Park
on Sunday. Whether or not tEis is the fact
has not demonstrated by evidence produced
in open Court; neither has a remonstrance
been filed against the granting of the Ii
cense.
THE Court believes that the sentiment
Of this County is against the operation, on
Sunday, of shows and amusements, for
which an admission is charged; in addition
such conduct is violation of what is gen
orally known as the Vice immortality Act
Upon this ground alone, the Court does
not feel justified in refusing to renew the
license, inas.nuch as there seems to have
been no objection raised to the many re-
newals which have been allowed in the
past, and it would be unfair, at this time,
TO the applicant, by reason OF the property
rights INVOLVED to refuse the application
wlthout the knowledge that such method
of conducting business is illegal and objee-
tionable to the Court.
Upon favorable action on the applica-
tion, no restriction can be imposed and
therefore the Court is unable to exact as a
condition to the granting OF the license
that no shows or amusements shall be
operated on Sunday during the coming
year.
However, in order that there may b e
no misunderstanding as to the future, the
Court deems it wise TO express its view
upon this subject, so that the applicant
NAV understand the situation and govern
itself accordingly. A failure on the part
of the licensee to recognize the existence
Of the public sentiments in this respect, as
well as the violation of the Sunday law by
the operation Of amusements during the
period covered by the present application,
may be taken into consideration by the
Court, il at the expiration of the year re-
newal OF the license is sought.
In the matter of the application Of
George G.. Redfield for license at the Col
umbia Hotel, North Woodbury., and VIM.
Armstrong, wholesale, Paulsbre, remon-
strances were fled, and the Court fixed
Friday. June Z, at 10 O'Clock q. M, for a
hearing in both cases.
The Court heard testimony in the mat
ter Of the application of Edward Kurzius
for wholesale license, at Williamstown,
and held the same under advisement until
Friday Of this week.
