at a dinner rendered in his honor by

man has sold stock short and they 90

License Board
NOTIFIES THE JUDJES
Applications for License Must Be Accom-
panied by Bonds Signed by the
Residents of the City Under
the Amended Law.

Rodney r. Gordon, one Of the three
appointed license commissioners for
Barre, has notified the assistant Judges
that he will not accept the appointment,
much to the regret of the public of
Barre in ganeral. The appointment of
Mr.. Gordon had been commended by all
classes of citizens of Barre, as case
of the Office seeking the nan, and seek
ing one well fitted to cope with the try.
ing situations that arise in administer
ing the license law. OF the other two
named, Fl. NJ Houston has qualified and
James Adie is expected to before the
first Of April, when their term Of Office
begins.
The Times has been asked some ques-
tions in regard to applications for IL
censps. Under the law when licenses
were in force in Barre before, bonds fur
nished by security companies were ac-
ceptable, but the law was so amended
in 1904 that they cannot be accepted
by license boards. The bond now re-
quired by law must be signed by the
applicant and by not less than two good
and sufficient sureties, approved by the
board, to 20 into effect after the license
is granted" These bonds have to be
furnished with the application. mo
person shall be surety on such bond un-
less he is citizen of the state, and a
resident and freeholder OF the town in
which the applicant resides" The amount
of each bond is $4,000
The price of licenses will be deter
mined after the license board meets and
organizes.

complaint on the ground that the law
is unconstitutional and that the infor-
nation was insufficient, Judge Miles
overruled the demurrer and in order to
get the opinion of the supreme court on
this law, it was agreed that States At.
torney Gates and Mr., Hoar should sub
NIT to the court an agreed statement
Of facts. The court will then, pro torma,
adiudge the respondent. guilty and the
case will go to the May term Of supreme
court.
A case similar to the one at bar was
heard in Montpelier city court a few
weeks ago and the respondent was dis
charged because it could not be proved
that moose and caribou inhabited the
forest in which the dog had been chasing
deer. A similar case, that of State VS..
