urged favorable consideration Of
bills which he has introduced and

edy defects in the local option law
which knowledge he gained from ex-
perience with the license commission
at Burlington. He favored letting the

discretionary power with the select.
men or license commissioners, on
certain days when they are now
Obliged to close under the law. He
didn't believe that the black list Of

It didn't look well to have a list a

In the licensed places. Many of the
names We're people from outside the
state and the licensee would not
know more than half OF those on the
list He would limit II to the town
or the county at the most. He also
did not believe that license should
be taken from any llcensee unless
cause was shown. He would take
from the commissioners the power 10
revoke without hearing or without
giving q reason. In this he was sup.
ported by Mr.. Stone OF Walllngford
who on query from the committee
