MAY Be No LIQUOR
LICENSE FOR CLUBS

Attorney General Peters is of the
opinion that the new liquor law
makes no provisions for clubs and
that the latter may have to go back
to the old locker system, each MEM
Der having his own private stock OF
wet goods, and no liquor being serv-
ed by the club itself.
"To meet all the requirements of
club" he says, with the licenses
as limited by the law and proposed
by the Board, it would require a sa-
Icon license if there is to be bar,
restaurant license and a hotel Ii
cense, and then the extra $3.50 IL
cense to sell after hours and on
Sundays. But according to the reg
Nations proposed by the Board, a
saloon license and a restaurant IL
cense will not be granted for the
same place. II Il hotel license is
taken out, there can be no bar, and
If IA restaurant license is taken out
there can be no rooms for members.
The matter is not settled definite
ly yet and some way out of the diff
Guilty may yet be found
