PUBLIC HEARING

acted

Fifth-class licenses, made possible by a
referendum vote OF the people at the
last March meeting, were granted TO
Ernest A. Drown, who conducts drug
store at As North Main street, and G.
Berordinelli. druggist at 243 North
Main street. at the regular monthly
meeting OF the city council last night.
At the public hearing set for s o'clock
no one appeared to question the appli
cations made by the drug store men and
the licenses were granted without OPP
position from the council.
The only question that arose apropos
the fifth-class licenses was concerned
with the fee to be demanded from each
applicant. Regardless OF It's size, the
state gets the fee under the new statute,
but some of the members were disposed
to charge the applicants more than the
$40 OF former years Alderman Ban
croft thought that such sum was too
small and Alderman keefe concurred in
the opinion along with Alderman Daw-
son. Alderman keefe seemed to think
that prescription holders had been in
the habit of paying too much for IL
way Of illustrating his point he averred
that ii man sent his boy to the store
with a prescription for soc worth Of
goods he would be pretty apt to pay 81
before he got what he went after. The
mayor believed the druggists prices on
the licensed articles were proportionate
to the prices charged for goods in the
pharmaceutical line.
On the motion of Alderman Brown,
the licenses were granted to Messrs.
Drown and Berordinelli and Alderman
Dawson moved that they be taxed $50
each for the licenses. His motion was
not seconded and Alderman Patterson
made motion that the fee be fixed
at $40. Alderman Keefe thought that
some provision should be made whereby
the license holders could be made to fur
nish only strictly pure goods OF the APP
proved quill, or words to that effect.
He was informed that samples could be
taken from any license holders stock
and submitted to the state laboratory
in Burlington for test. Alderman Pat
terson's motion was afterwards carried
unanimously.
In conformance with long established
custom. t. l.. Smith, representing r. B.
Crandall post, No. Sc, Grand Army of
the Republic, appeared to inyite the may
or and council men to participate in the
Memorial day parade, exercises at city
hall. and veterans reception in the base
ment of the Congregational church at
noon. On the motion of Alderman
Brown the invitation was accepted and
a vote of thanks rendered the post men,
bers.
Then there were a couple OF hens that
came in for attention during the early
hours of the session. Alderman Patter-
SON reported that DR.. o. H. Reed had
asked a dollar each for two members
of his brood that had perished by the
dog route Alderman Brown thought
that instances were rare where hens
were valued at more than 75e each un-
der such circumstances, but Alderman
Patterson said that hens were higher
than usual up his way. Someone else
suggested that if the council began pay
ing fancy prices for dead poultry, It
might work out as an indueement to
hen men to lose their birds intention
ally through the medium of skulking
CANNES. DIR. Reeds claim was finally
jallowed and the 50 ordered paid
Proposal for Band Concerts.
There will be music in the air this
