where the city was ordered to pay well
for changing a building line after Van-

their storehouse In rcmcmbcrcd.
With the work on the Coloburn
building now also started, it is pointed
out that the change will probably be
more expensive than appears at first

that, there are some people who think

There is every prospect of 'n livclr
license campaign this fall at the little
town elections. it will be remembered
that the last Legislature passed a law
providing that there shall be no vote
on this question unlcss the petition for
such VOII‘ is signed by ten per cent.
or the registered voters.
“This wise and conservative piovtslon
cuts off more ngitatlonal voting.
iliiS bowl the custom, or at least it has
Ill‘t’ll charged that it was a custom', to
slill'l a mic on license for the sake of
keeping up the interval. cvcn whcn
there was general indim-rcnce ill thc
ulattcr. It kcpt, tllc liquor men on
lilo dofcnsivc and kept the temperance
people aroused. That was the argu-
ment. The new law cuts off that form
of political diversion, it means busi-
ness. if ten per cent. of the voters
want the license situation changed,
then there is evidence of considerable
interest and the voting is not a mere
whim or game of keep~them~awake.
That is the condition this year. and
ii is interesting to note that the towns
where petitions are circulating seem
to be genuinely in earnest. The pres-
ent license situation Is that of the 168
towns 97 stand for no-ilcense and 71
stand for license. At the last elections
77 towns voted on the question and
of these 53 voted for license and 24
for no-licensc. It is interesting to note
how close were some of the votes, as
for example:
license no license
Avon..v...........94 89
Bolton ............ 36 40
Chester ........... 1:16 138
(‘ornwall ......... 110 199
Lisbon ........... 65 69
Manchester .......972 iiili)
New Milford ..... 2596 567
A chanse of one vote would have
shifted Cornwall, of two votes would
have shifted Chester and tied Bolton,
and of three votes would have shifted
Avon and Lisbon. .
