• The Lucky Licensees. •
• The license board for West Huron
met at, Inspector Paisley's office
on -Tuesday afternoon to con-
sider applications for the present
lieense year. . It was rather. a field
day for the quartette 'comprising the
board; there being petitions for and
against certain applications.
• The two houses at Sanford, which
were Out off a couple of years since,
were again refused a liceese.
A petition •was presented asking
that the Union hotel, Goderieh, he
refused a license. This is one of the
old established Ironies • and Mr,•
Parr, the nevt, landlord, had. no
difficulty in securing still -more
names to a petition in his favor. He
was not cutoff,
The Ocean House in Goclerich is a
bone of contention. Captain Babb,
the present. landlord, who •is a well
known figure about the docks and
town,. is again applying for a license
and so, alsoare the executors of the
Davidson estate to which the proper--
ty belongs,. A couple of lawyers have
_been fighting for Babb and as many
against him. The hoard •deferred
action for one week in order to give
the Captain and the executors time to
patch up presenb differences.
Mr. Ben. Saults of Goderich is mak-
ing a big fight, for a license for the
Maitland Houie, near the G. T. It.
station. Mr. Saults concluded the
Union seccessfully and is a popular
fellovv so was enabled to send down a
numerously signed petition for the
consideration of the board. Mr.
Leavitt, foreman of the organ factory,
and Rev. Mr. Wilson presetted a peti-
tion against licensing the place. They
contended that, not onle wits it nob
necessary but that its location was
another. reason why ib should not be
licensed, Action was deferred until
next, Tuesday,
Rev. Mr. Brown and Merehant
Henderson of Whitechurch came
down with a petition signed by' over
two hundred names asking that Mr,
John Macdonald be not again licensed.
Both ihese gentlemen addressed the
board in supporb of the petition. It is
understood tbat they do not so much
• object to a licensed house in the village
as to the matmer in which it is
being cenducted at the present
time. This cese, also, vvill be
considered at the adjourned meeting.
Mr. Mite.donald bought the place about
six months ago at a cost of two thous-
and dollars so that license or no
license is rather a serious matter for
him. This is the only tavern ir, West
Wawanosh and in East Witwariosh
there is not a single licensed place.
