The following resolution was adopt
ed by the Grand Jury:
We. the Grand Jury of Worcester
County for October Term OF Court,
1912. recommend the following: That
the Court inform the proper officials
that we desire all dispensaries sell
ing alcoholic beverages to be compell-
ed to close for business at TOO T.
NJ, each evening during week days
and Saturdays. By this action we
feel that most of the disturbing ele-
ment in the County will be barred
from obtaining liquor after these
hours which tend to promote better
law and order in the County. We fur
Their recommend that a police officer
police the beer places each night and
that all violations be brought to the
attention of the proper authorities,
and hat the law be passed at this
coming Legislature whereby all per-
sons holding a beer license and sell
ing beer will have to close by 1890
A. M. each and every night.

Foreman of the Grand Jury
