Whitman S. Mead. of Greenwich. Sim-

two hours this morning at tile Norwaik
court room. listening to evidence in a

celrao to iitrgtl McGovern to conduct a
toquor saloon on the Connecticut 'l‘urn-
pike. within a short distance of two
places already conducted there by
Adolph Kcssler amt John 1". Curnyn.
It appears that McGovern sold 0111
his saloon something over two years
ago to M r. Curnyll and is now desirous
of locating III the business again.
A number of witnesses appeared for
Mr. McGovern. including Hugh McGov-
ern. .Ir.. Michael (.‘onnclly. W. G. Quinn.
.lobu Spencer, Hugh McCarthy, Joseph
McSnlly. John McGlorlc and Peter Gal-
Ilgan.
As opposed there appeared M r. Kess-
ler. Mr. Curnrrl and a number of oth-
ers. The proprietors of the two plac-
os at present there claim that they are
scarcely making a living and in win-
ter. do not. IlilI have to rely considera‘
bly on the profits of the summer
months to exist. ,
The commissioners heard all of the
evidence submitted. but reserved their
decision in the matter. Judge Joseph
R. Taylor appeared in Mr. McGovern's
interests while Attorney William I“.
Tammany conducted the case of the. re-
rrlonstrators.
Michael Duffy. the first of the r0nlon~
straiors. stated that in his opinion
there were enough saloons In the vi»
cintty at the present time and he be-
lieved that even these could not exist
were it not for the amount of Sunday
trade that tlley bad. He dramatically
declared that it was the greatest place
ill 1‘ ()llllf‘tflt lit for Sunday liquor trade.
Judge Taylor asked him wiry be had
not complained to the liquor prosecut-
lng agent If this were true. Mr. Duffy
said that he did not know the name of
tile agent
He was not entirely opposed to ss-
loons, btlt. be thought that the number
there at the present time is entirely
sufficient for the population of the ri-
clnity.
Judge Taylor said that he would In-
troduce evidence to allow that the re
monstrsnce was instigated by parties
interested in the liquor business of the
vicinity bllt the commissioners had no
desire to hear anything of this sort.
amt Mr Tammany said Ire Would place
the witness who had started the peti-
tion orl the stand.
Arthur E. llrmtlne thought there were
plenty ‘of salmns Ill the vicinity of the
present. inundation.
Robert Richardson also thought that
two were sufficient and three would be
too many.
\1. Weisheit considered that two
at present there could amply supply
the neighborhood with drinkables. A
new barber shop. he thought. would be.
more suitable than another saloon.
Four years ago. he said. a census show-
ed that there were less than 800 people
within a radius of half a mile. He did
-ot believe that the population had In‘
reused 50 In that time. Mr. Taylor
~Iaimed that considerable of the trade

tuently the saloon proprietors did not

There have linen no means as yet of
