F0SIPONEMENTsf fS TakEN
 in LICENSE MEANING. Attorney For Application For Ferry
 Street Location Was Away on Va
 cation. I
 A hearing assigned for 1o.3e o'clock Tuesday morning before the county commissioners regarding the appiica- ton of Calixte Dufresne for the right to transfer his liquor license from No. Il Bath street to No. Ferry street was postponed for two weeks. The hearing was one of more than orr dinary public interest because the location to which MT. Dufresne had made application for the right to transfer is in the district In the neigh borhood of Franklin square in which 1t was decided by the previous board of county commissioners that no more licenses would be granted becauses they made the general ruling that all the Franklin square neishborhood would be deemed an undesirable location, no matter who the applicant was.
 John McWiliiams and Henry G. Peck who are interested property owners on this matter as they own the bufliins at the corner of Main and Ferry streets were at the office of the couH- ty commissioners on Tuesday morning about 1915 o'clock and were told by Commissioner Smith that the hearing had been postponed two weeks as the attorney for Mir. Dufresne. John H. Barnes. was away on a vacation in the White Mountains.
 It Is understood that Mfr McWiliarns and MT. Peck will oppose the grant, ing of the license in the Ferry street location and that the matter may now be disposed of without any hearing for the applicant will probably stay in his present location. This is in a building on Bath street that Is owned by a woman named O'ConneA
 The location to which the transfer is asked according to the application is peculariarly situated as to the property ownership The corner lot and building at the corner Of Main and Ferry streets is owned by Messrs. Me- Williams and Peck. but No. Ferry street Is the front section of the base ment at this corner and extends through under the corner building from the adjoining building to the east which Is the property of the estate of the late John R. McNamara- and the estate has control of this basement section. The different rights in the building and basement were consid- erably involved and had to be decided by the courts some time ago.
