Files Appeal From
Boards Decision On
License Revocation

Robert Kemp has filed petition
for an appeal from the recent de-
cision of the Board of County Com
missioners sitting as the Board of
License Examiners, in which the
board revoked for a period of two
years the beer license of Kemp
trading as Bob and Madelyn
Tavern" The tavern is located
near Deer Park.
The petition was filed by Horace
P. Whitworth, Westernport at
torney. In his declaration Mr. Whit
worth stated that if the decision
was not modified that Kemp
would be forced out of business
and forced to sell his mortgaged
property, since the bulk of his
profit comes from the sale of
beer. 1t was also stated that he
had already paid S52S50 in fines
to the court, and that if the deci-
sion was allowed to stand he would
be thrown on the Welfare depart
ment.
Whitworth said that Kemp was
"aggrieved and desired the court
to review the decision" He further
stated he felt the boards decision
was not honestly and fairly
exercised and that the decision
was arbitrary and unsupported by
any substantial evidence and was
unreasonable.
Kemp stated this week he still
had his license, pending the final
decision of the court and was still
open for business.
