After the appeal section had passed
with Senators Smith, knudsen. Fair.
child and Kalama the only ones TO
vote against, Chillingworth offered an
amendment, limiting the right Of ap.
peal from the decision OF the License
Commissioners to Judge In chamb-
bers
Chillingworth Amendment.
The amendment as presented by
Chillingworth and adopted is as fol.
lows:
"Section 85A, Appeals shall be al.
lowed from decisions of boards refus-
ing applications for renewals of Ii.
eenses, refusing transfers of licenses,
and revocations and SUSPENSIONS of Ii
censes, to the Judge of the Circuit
Court sitting in chambers without a
jury of the same circuit wherein the
party appealing, as a licensee, has his,
! their, or its licensed premises the Ii
cense for which has been suspended or
revoked or for which renewal or
transfer of the license has been re.
fused, whenever the party appealing
shall file with the secretary of the
Board from which said appeal is taken,
his notice of appeal setting forth the
grounds of appeal and bond as is now
harnn ftnR no ,.Rn..t1a1 10, Ia,
case of appeals in civil cases from dis
trict magistrates to circuit courts. And
such appeals shall operate to the same
effect as civil appeals from district
magistrates to the circuit courts, sub.
iect to appeal by exceptions or writ
of error to the Supreme Court, as is now
or may hereafter be provided for APP
peals from circuit courts to the Su.
pTeme Court.
"Upon appeals from boards to the
Judge of the circuit courts, sitting in
chambers without a jury, the hearing
before the circuit Judge shall be de
novo under rules and procedure which
shall he fixed by the judge, and the
Judgment thereon of the judge of the
Circuit Court sitting in chambers or
of the Supreme Court upon exceptions
or writ of error therefrom shall be
binding upon the board from whose de-
cision or action the appeal shall have
been taken.
GAN appeal from decision of a
board refusing to renew license or
revoking or suspending n license shall
operate as a supersedeas, and an i'm
mediate hearing on appeal may be or.
dered by the Judge sitting in chambers
or the Supreme Court upon good cause
being shown therefor, and the party
appealing may, pending appeal, con,
time the exercise of the license sus'
pended or revoked or of which a re-
newal has been refused, as the ease
may be, upon executing to such board
a bond in the sum of one thousand dol
lars ($1000) conditional upon said
party appealing in case he is defeated
in his said appeal, paying to the secre'
tarv of such board the proportionate
part of the annual license fee for each
day that such license shall have been
exercised by him pending said appeal. -
The enacting clause was then passed
and the Moore amendments were law
as far as the Senate was concerned.
Senator Quinn didn't have anything
to say during the voting on the meas
ures, being content with being consist
entity with the affirmative majority as
each vote was taken.
But he rose to his feet after it was
all over and declared himself:

injustice has been done. am not
pledged against any change in the law.
