Representative Norwich Citizens in
Favor.
This fact was strongly presented
by representative Norwich citizens at
the hearing before the excise commit
tee. This bill is especially intended
to meet a condition in Norwich. Up
there they have a street (Water) with
several saloons within the 200 foot lin
il. This street is a good place to keep
saloons. Up on a bank, several hun
dred feet high however, is a church,
but while it is on another street it is
them out in case renewals were asked
for after a period of no-hcense.''
Saloons Should Not Be Allowed There.
Mr.. Chandler of Rocky Hill said that
saloons never should have oeen allowed
within 200 feet of any church.
Bill Brought in by Norwich People.
Mr. Scoville said the bill had been
brought in by Norwich people In case
viii have to go out, anyway, under the
one saloon to every 500 persons law.
He thought it might be just as.well if
the fie on Water street that aree with
ing the geo foot limit should go as well
as any of the others. He said he was
not in favor of the bin and had voted
against it in committee.
No Danger of Norwich Voting Dry.
Mr. Peck of Stratford took the final
shot at the measure. This argument
makes me SMILE said he. 1.-TWO years
ago Norwich people Were up here try
ing to get through about the same kind
of a measure. Now Bridgeport is in
favor of it, too, to help out a. condition
in that city. Both are banking. on the
possibility that Norwich and Bridge
port may vote no-license some time,
and so want to be prepared, but l as
sure you, gentlemen, that judgment
day will come before either place votes
dry. Iaughter.) This is simply an
effort to head off a probability
Almost Unanimously Rejected.
Mr.. Magee moved the previous ques-
