HIGH LIGENSE BILL.
County Commissioners Not to
License More Than one Sa-
' loan for Every 500 In- ,
habitants.
The License Fee $850 to all Applicants
I Other than Druggists.
A most important matter is on the
calendar for the special order in the
House at Hartford to-day,and one that,
.if passed, will prove a great hardship
on saloon keepers and drive many out
of the business. ’
The matter refer 1 ed to is the bill that
County Commissioners shall not license
more than one saloon for every 500 in-
habitants, except in towns where there
are less than 500 inhabitants. The res-
olution also provides that the Commis-
sioners, in granting licenses, shall pre-
fer reputable hotels rather than ordin-
ary saloons, and that the bill shall not
affect druggists. .
The license fee shall be $850 to all
applicants other than drug 1sts,’ and a
vote on the license question shall be
taken on petition of not less than 50
residents.
Under this resolution Norwalk would
be limited to 40 saloons or less, from
which the four hotels would be deduct-
ed, leaving in the neighborhood of 36
saloons against some fifty odd now in
0pe1ation.
The inc1 ease of the license fee to $850
would also p1 e1 ent the smalle1 saloons
from obtaining a license, thus decreas-
ing the number of saloons to about
twenty.
In all p10bability a st1ong fight Iw ill
be made by the liqu01 men against the
passage of this resolution.

:Death of Mrs. Ellen Sherwood.
V Mr. Frank Selleck was in receipt,l st.
I evening, of the news of the death of his
mothersin-law, Mrs. Ellen Sherwood,
at the Sanitarium in Stamford, of which
institution she had been an inmate for
some months past. Some years since
Mrs. Sherwood bought the Spencer
property on Belien avenue, and it was
while living there that her daughter
married Frank Selleck, but died soon
after giving birth to a child, which sur-
vives. Mrs. Sherwood was the widow
of Francis Sherwood, and was about 65
years of age. One daughter, who lives
in Binghamton, New York, survives
her. The remains will probably be
taken to Greenwich for interment. M11.
Selleck is in Stamford to-day making

A certain business man said on Main
.street, this morning : “If Selectman
Selleck wants to know Where the worst
road in town is, tellIhim that it is Van
Zandt avenue, and that it is located in
East NOrwalk. ” It will no doubt re-
ceive Mr. Selleck’ s attention in due
.time.

HOSFORD WINS
Supreme Court Decides 'In Favor of Dusting
Chief Kennedy.
The Supreme Court of the state has
rendered a decision in the case of
George S. Hosford against John H.
Kennedy. This case grew out: of the
notorious chief of police fight in N auga;
. tuck. . Charges were preferred against
Hosford for unbecoming conduct and
he was deposed from his office, Ken—
nedy being put in his place. Hosford
appealed to the Superior Court, but
that court sustained the commissioners
and refused to-reir ove Kennedy. Hos—
ford again appealed, this: time to the
Supreme Court. That body advises
the Superior Court to render a judg-
.ment of ouster against the defendant.-
This will opeIate to remove Kennecy
and ieplace Hosford.

The GAZETTE is informed that a
certain party made the rounds of the
several newspaper offices and obtained
estimates for printing an advertising
program. He then visited a job office
and stating the amount of the lowest
bid obtained the work at a still lower
figure. We are also informed that this
is his usual practice. If this be true
that young man should receive a warm
reception on his next visit.
