stores in one section of Honolulu con
stantly sell liquor without a Terrific
rial license and that in one place the
owner Of the premises holding a Fed

almost openly an unlicensed retailer.
1t is also reported to US that in some

liquor is peddled about illegally. We

ferreting out law violations in the
places indicated and in certain tene-

be suppressed.
