 Proprietor Levy, of the Compo Beach Inn, is desirous of securing a liquor license for his place of business at Compo Beach, but as the law works against him 1t is hardly probable that a license can be secured. The law of the state especially signifies that there of inhabitants. As the official popu- lation of Westport is slightly over the 1000 mark and that there are nine licenses in operation here it is hardly probable that the inn will enjoy g, cer- tificate to sell. Under the law there cannot be another license added to the town until the town has grown to size of over 5000 inhabitants There are no other objections to MT. Levy securing a license, as far as is known, in fact many of the residents of the beach would relish such a con- dition. AS the matter now stands, there is not a thirst quenching estab< lishment on the beach
