In granting the licenses Judge Lippin-
colt called attention to the Bishops law
and advised hotel keepers to become
acquainted with its provisions. Recent
events have shown how the law may be
broken, even though there might not
have been intention to cause such re-
suit. Not only should owners be &C
quainted, but bartenders should also
study this law and then there would not
be any excuse for evading and breaking
any of its provisions. On the subject of
providing meals the Judge said there
seemed to be disposition on the part of
some hotel keepers not to be as accom-
modating as they should be in this re-
spect. He wanted it kept in mind that
hotels are for the accommodation of the
travelling public and that the selling of
liquor is a secondary consideration, al
| though it looked as if many of the hotel
people thought that was the sole object
of keeping hotel. He called attention
to the sanitary conditions in some of the
hotels which he declared were out of date
and must be improved. The day Of
| ''tin washbasin service has gone by.
In the matter of wholesale licenses Judge
Lippincott told those who had that
privilege to study the law on the subject
and warned them that liquor must not
be delivered to any customer unless
ordered at the place for which the license
was granted.
"Reminiscences were filed against grant
| ing licenses to Henry Barry, Moores-
town; Edward Penn, Centreton; John
w. Stone, William f. Parker, Florence;
Thomas J. Barrett, Roebling Park;
Henry Lehman, Fieldsboro. Some of
these were against the wholesale licenses
and some for retail licenses.
Michael Horney, who applied for a
license to sell at wholesale at Roebling,
withdrew his application,
Mrs. Mary E. McCarter applied for a
retail license for the white House,
at Browns Mills. In this case as well
as that of Mr.. Barrett, the court said
they came under the heading of new
licenses, hence there must be shown q
necessity for them. The Barrett case
will be heard on the 18th.
Jonathan HI. Kelsey spoke in behalf
of Mrs. Mary E. McCarter who applied
for license to sell liquor at the 'Whitt
House." Browns Mills. Mr. Kelsey
talked on the necessity for such license
He referred to the new road running
through Browns Mills to Lakehurs
which is now travelled by large number
of auto parties, many of whom stop a
Browns Mills for meals. The Davi
} hotel is in another section of the place
some distance from the improved road
Rileys hotel, which is near the "Whit
House." is open only during thu
months between November and May
and Mrs. McCarter was willing to hav
her privilege restrained to the othe
months. She was also willing that ther

, stricting the general use of bar, as tn
desire was simply to accommodate tn
white House" guests.
d Mr.. Kelsey presented letters from sev
Y eral citizens of Pemberton TOWNSHIP
q who felt there was a necessity for tn
license being granted. After arguin
the case for about an hour Mr.. kelse
/, asked that further action be postpone
!. until the 18th when further reasons tC
. the issuance of the license will be pr'
scented.
n The circumstances against grantin
l. wholesale licenses to John w. Stone an
William f. Parker, of Florence tow
iship, were taken up. Howard Eastwoo
Z represented the remonstrants and Robe
r Peacock appeared for the applicant
81 The remonstrants objected to the licens

Y. were examined and they all admittt
e that conditions in Florence township,
!. far as the sale of liquor is concerned, a
better than they were year ago, b.
they felt that still further improvemel
ct might be reached if the licenses we
OF refused.
m Mr.. Peacock contended that the
al monstrants had not made out cas-
Sc They had failed to show that there h
be been any disregard of the law, as all t
ar witnesses had admitted an improveme
