Worcester Syndicate Buys Site of Old Seventh Day MiIl-Many to Seek Liquor Licenses.

The deed has been passed by the Lorraine iManufacturing company to a Worcester syndicate, for the tract of land, and water too, in the village of Pawcatuck, whereon formerly stood the old Seventh Day mill and later the Star theatre, destroyed by fire, and also the space in West Broad street, including the building occupied in part by Thomas F. Howard. The only other building on the premises is the one derstood that the Howard building. so- called, will be moved from the bridge to West Broad street to the line of the Walton property and that the lunch cart will be located elsewhere. Plans are out for a two story brick build ing with stores fronting on the bridge and extending to the turn into West Broad street. The syndicate is not giving out it's plans in detail, at pres ent, but it is said a part of the build ing is to be used as a movie picture place, in addition to a. hall for general the objections that were raised when the Lorraine company intended to build over portion of the Pawcatuck river, just at that point, and was pre- vented by court order by reason of interference with the water rights of the river, is to be satisfied by the new owners of the property. It is said that the new plan of construction will not obstruct the howage of water, but will really improve the present condi- tions in that respect.
 After Liquor Licenses. It is apparent that the Is liquor li- censes allotted to the town of Ston- ington under the law of one license for each 800 of population, will be all ap- piled for, notwithstanding that the fee has been increased to $T50 and that the licensee must clear at least $1 900 before making any net profit It is not known just how these licenses | tricts of the town, Stonington bor- | ough, Pawcatuck, Mystic, Old Mys- tic and the Road district. There were six license6~ saloons in Pawcatuck when the town was last in the wet column and there will probably be the l same number in operation and at the l old stands on the first day of next month. On this basis it is probable | that four licenses will be apportione6 to Mystic and five to Stonington, or | the presumption that while Old Mystic voted for liquor license no application l will come from that district and that in the Road district no man can bt | found who will come across witf l $750 to risk in the liquor business ir | that section.
 l It is understood that John Mahoney who has held liquor licenses in Paw. l OdIACA III years, VIII not Dl among the applicants for liquor licens, l and that Frank Celia has an optio1 on the place formerly occupied by MT Mahoney and which has an established excellent reputation. It Is practical, decided by the commissioners that tn, licensed saloons will all be practical, on the same locations as in 1914.
