An application for a liquor license at
the hotel in South Vernon will be OPP
posed on the ground that South Vernon
is not the principal village in the town.
The new law provides that no license
shall be granted for the sale Of intoxicat-
ing liquor as q beverage at point nearer
the state line than the chief village OF the
town where It is TO be exercised. What
is commonly called South Vernon lies
principally over the line in Massachu-
sets, and 1t will be commended that that
fact will preclude the hotel from having a
license. So far as is known nobody in
any other part Of the town wants e IL
cense.
