Homer Elliott, Republican NOM
inee for superior court judge, room
five. speaking at a Wayne township
meeting, turned to laws enacted by
the general assembly for questions
calculated to embarrass the Coy
ernor.
Mr.. Elliott suggested that the
Governor explain why the general
assembly adopted an act relieving
from responsibility persons who
signed bonds guaranteeing public
deposits in banks.
Mr.. Elliott charged that adoption
of the law transferred the loss to
the taxpayers.
Next" Mr.. Elliott declared, "the
public would like to know why it is
that the beer law imposes a license
fee of $500 a year on a hotel having
a capacity of not more than fifty
guests, and which wishes to serve
beer in its dining and guest rooms,
but which fixes the fee for the
French Lick hotel, having a capacity
of several hundred guests, at the
fiat rate of 500 a year"
The statute establishes the 500
rate for resort hotels having a nat
ural mineral spring on the prem
iSes."
why the discrimination? What
resort hotel was in mind?" Mr..
Elliott demanded.
