OBJECTIONS TO
 NEW LIQUOR LAW ARE REGISTERED
Amendment to Reiner PrO- pOsal Would Limit Estab-
 lishments By Population

Various real estate owners registered objection to the second proposal of Alderman Joseph Reiner last night at a public hearing to restrict liquor establishments in Wa terbury by marking barriers and banning re-opening of places closed for 60 days by liquor commission rulings.
 An amendment to the proposed ordinance was offered by Harmon Genlot field agent for the Connec- ticut Restaurant and Liquor Dealers Board of Trade, Inc, dropping the 750-foot distance proposal. The amendment would provide that all types of liquor permits for on premises consumption, excepting ohtels, be limited to one to 1000 inhabitants, or a fraction of this number
 Further Stipulations
 The amendment also included package stores and requires that all permits be transferred as to per- son, corporation or location; that all permits in force at the time the amendment goes into effect, if and when it is adopted, and all applica- tionS on file at this date may be renewed. A public hearing may be hel don the amendment, subject to approval of the Board of Aldermen.
 Nathan Freedman, representing group of package store owners, ex- prsseed preference for the limitation of permits as to population but registered, with four others, in favor of the zoning restriction. Thomas G. Smith, local contractor, favored the zoning ordinance as relates to residential areas but alleged that the city had no right to restrict the number of liquor r-purveying estab- lishments in business district, any more than it could restrict the num- Der of drug stores.
 Opposed to Ordinance
 The Waterbury Real Estate Board submitted vote passed at recent meeting and signed by the secre- tary, Normal s. Neale, of Root & Boyd, Inc. opposing the ordinance and favoring limitation of permits on the ratioof population. William Verricker, as property owner, cited the proposal as unfair to owners of property who pay takes on build- ings in the areas which would be affected.
 The committee of aldermen com- prised: George L. Kingston, Fenton c. Niver, Francis x. Bergin, Ernest P. Belval and Joseph Reiner. The committee will report at the meet ing of the board August 9.
