At the April meeting of the Board

MeIko Refused License.
The application of Stephen Melko
for bottling license at 64 Washing
ton street, was balloted upon, after
being laid over for several meetings,
and refused by a unanimous vote.
No reason was given for the boards
action. The application was for the
opening Of new establishment
which may have had some influence
on the boards action. Mr.. Melko for
years conducted saloon at the cor
ner of Washington and High streets,
and never had any trouble in getting
his license granted or renewed.
About three months ago he sold out
his saloon to David Wolfson and had
since been making preparations to
go into the bottling business at GA
Washington street.

Two applications were submitted
to the board for the granting of a
license for bottling at 332 Watson

cation then being declared void.

saloon at 230 Hall avenue, which
had laid on the table for some time,
was withdrawn.
Transfer OF Saloon License.
The transfer Of the saloon license
from William Adamski to Jacob
Castelbaum, at S08 Prospect street,
was effected after being held up for
several months because of a mix-up
In Castelbaum's citizenship papers.
Although doing business under the
name Of Castelbaum, the man had
filed his papers IN the name of Smith.
These papers have since been
Strengthened out by Counsellor H. w.
Kehoe, and the transfer was granted
last night.
The board waited last night for
about fifteen minutes while Peter A
Kass went to sos Smith street to get
the original saloon license of Edward
Lekowitz from whom he wanted the
saloon license transferred to his
name. The code of the excise board
requires that the original license of
saloons must be presented with ap-
plications for transfer. The applica-
tion for transferral of the saloon IL
cense of Joseph T. Galaida, 418
Smith street, to Joseph Herr, was
granted and that of Henry Lawrence,
4S1 High street, to Anton Dusinski,
was laid over to the next meeting.
