Applicants For Three Licenses

The License Commissioners, G. F.
Earle, G. B. Green and Geo. Tillotson,
met last Thursday and organized by elect
ing Geo. F. Earle Chairman and Secreta-
ry of the Board. Three applications for
licenses have thus far been received.
Fred o. Lunt and Glenn A. wilkins have
applied for second class license to sell
in the front room on the ground floor of
the Avalon House, owned by Ernest Foss,
on Lower Main street, their lease to also
include the small room in the rear of the
front room.
Herbert G. Prouty and Ernest G. Page
have applied for a third class, or beer Ii
cense, and also a seventh class, or whole
sale beer licence, to sell in the Hutchins
block on Portland street A public meet
ing will be held for hearing on these ap-
plicatons at town hall on Saturday, Apr.
"a, at 2 o'clock
1t is generally understood that the store
in the Randall block, formerly occupied
by o. M. Waterman, was to have been oc-
cupied by the second class licensees but
upon making measurements it was found
to be some fifteen feet too near the Uni
versalist church, the law stating that a
liquor business shall not be conducted
nearer than within 200 feet of church
or school building.
A new feature of the license law,
which is of county interest is in regard
to posting those persons unqualified to
purchase liquor from a license holder.
1t is the duty of every court and Justice
of Peace to furnish for the chairman of
the license Commissioners of MOrrisville,
a list of all persons convicted of intoXica-
tion before them during the past six
months.
