thought some appreciation should be

to do this, the most fragrant case be-
ing that of Kwong Chong Lung. This
man had been found to have committed
errors out of 1875 entries.
The commissioners resolved to have
him on the carpet tp show cause why
his license should not be suspended.
Ehe Others who have committed errors
will be cited to appear in due course.
The seriousness of the offense will guide
the commissioners in their citations.
When Is Gin old7
Chairman Brown said that the ques-
ton had been suggested to him that Ii
was possible that breach of this law
was being made by the words ''Pure
Old Hawaiian Gin,' appearing on the
labels of this liquor, now being turned
out in IIilo. 1t was thought that this
was a breach of the Pure Food Act,
as it was not considered that gin was
old until it had been made for at least
three years.
Secretary Carlos was instructed to
write to Food Commissioner blanchard
asking him whether any breach was
being made by the word "oldo being
included in the label.
McTighe Estate,
Attorney Peters appeared on behalf
of the corporation that has taken over
the business carried on by the late T..
r. McTighe Mr.. Peters asked that the
license be transferred to the new body.
He also stated that he intended to hold
an auction sale of certain goods at
what was known as the second store.
No moro delivery business was wanted,
Peters explained, so the idea was to
close up the second store. The inten-
tion was to carry ON only bar trade in
future. The members of the corpora
ton would like to clean the store out,
and use some of the proceeds towards
improving the saloon proper.
The commissioners agreed to the
of the license, but OK
planned that permission 10 sell at auc-
ton would have TO be obtained by tho
auctiOneeT entrusted with the sale.
