APPLICATION FOR
LICENSE CAUSES
TILT At MEETING
Protest to Orange Excise Board
Against Granting License to
Man Who Sold Without One.

There was quite a tilt last night At
the Orange Board Of Excise meeting.
when the application for the renewal
of the license OF John Crosse, OF "a
Forrest street, was read Crosse neg
lected to make application at the ope
time and had conducted his saloon
without a license.
Joseph ID. Holmes, chairman Of the
Citizens Committee of Fifty, made a
vigorous protest. How a an appli-
cation for renewal be mad when the
license does not exist?" said Mr.
Holmes. "The facts are began Act
ing Chairman Schultz. that former
Chairman Kidder, after finding out
that" That place is closed" in
terrupted Mr.. Holmes. 81 was going
to add" continued Mr.. Schultz, that
Crosse, owing to an oversight. was al
lowed to keep open. Former Chairman
Kidder gave him permission 10 sell
after March 49,"
How could Mr.. Kidder give permits
sion when his WI term had expired?"
said Mr.. Holmes.
.'He was chairman when he gave the
permission" answered Mr.. Schultz.
But he had no right to give such
permission insisted Mr.. Holmes. IN
der the Bishops law your applicant
was guilty Of running a disorderly
house"
A communication was then read from
Mr.. Kidder, stating that Mr.. Crosse
had kept a saloon for twenty-three
years. The renewal had slipped the
old mans mind,' read the letter. The
disposition of the case will be made at
the next meeting.
The application for a transfer o.
the license of Joseph Vergillo to Jo-
seph Di Benedetto was refused. Chaun-
cey Z. Cowell, a member of the Citi-
zens' Committee. protested against
granting a license to Di Benedetto, who
was refused u renewal of his own
license some time ago. Mr.. Coweu SAID
that he had witnessed a violation o.
the law in Di Benedetto's saloon, but
had no proof that Mr.. Benedetto was
behind the bar at the time. Joseph
kahrs. counsel for Df Benedetto, said
that If Mr.. Cowell had witnessed q
violation and did not report it me was
guilty of laches.
Later on Di Benedetto asked the
board why his license had been re
fused. This is 10. time to discuss the
case AFTER the license mas pSSh IL
fused" answered Mr.. Schultz.
II don't suppose it is" said Mr.. ID
B~enedetto, but I would like to know
why / am selected as the scapegoat by
this board"
I'VE don't regard you as a scape-
goat" Mr.. Schultz replied. I'VE con-
sidered the case and decided not TO
grant the license"
