Issue Of Licenses Held Up.

Whether there will be liqour licenses
issued in Corinth remains to be settled by
the courts. The town voted license at a
special meeting held March II, the regu-
lar March meeting not being held at the
usual time by reason of failure to post the
warning, as the law requires. The point
raised is that the town could not vote on
the question of license at a special meet
ing, as it could at the regular meeting,
and that the yes vote is therefore void.
The license commissioners, G. G. Sar-
gent, C. E. Hartman and c. FL. Currier,
held session at the office of Judge Sar-
gent in Cookville last week Tuesday after
noon, at which meeting the applicants
for license, John Hoyt and Harvey Sum-
ner, were to submit their bonds for APP
prevail. Their deliberations were inter-
rupted by the appearance of Sheriff
Sprague as the agent of States Attorney
March NJ. Wilson, who, acting on petit
ton by residents of the town OF Corinth,
had instituted quo warranto proceedings
against the license commissioners. The
commissioners are required to show cause
why they should act.
The case is returnable at the May term
of supreme court and will be heard either
by depositions or upon an agreed state
ment of facts, at Montpelier May Is.
States Attorney M. NJ. Wilson will ap-
pear for the state, and the license COM
missioners will be represented by Darling
& Wilson of Chelsea.
1t is understood that the licenses ap-
piled for were second class and the COM
missioners had fixed the license fee at
81. 200
