LICENSE ISSUED AGAIN TO CLAFFEY Judge MCEvOy Overrnles Contention of Liquor
 Commission

Judge Frank P. McEvoy, in sue perior court at Hartford, has over- ruled the contention of the state liquor control commission that re- newal of a restaurant dealers per- init should be withheld because his receipts from the sale of beer were far in excess of his receipts from the sale of food.
 The decision was made Wednes- day in the appeal of Robert w. Claffey, of Hartford, from the act of the commission in withholding his license. Judge McEvoy ordered the license issued.
 The liquor control commission contended that the principal busi- ness" of 8 restaurant holding liquor permit should be determined on the basis of the receipts of its food and liquor departments.
 State Referee Frederick M. Peas ley, who heard the evidence of the appeal, and reported to Judge Mo- Evoy, found that Claffey has main- tained a well-equipped restaurant since 1884 at cost of $1,700. The bar equipment cost $450. He fur. ther found that the restaurant met the rule requiring the service of at least two hot meals day.
