allow this weeks issue of your good paper to be circulated without making reference to the loss which Licenee Commissioners have inflicted upon townspeople more especially the merchants and business men by refus ing to grant a license to the North Ameri can Hotel Not alone will our business men suffer but the farmers living in radius of fifteen or twenty miles from here will be utterly astounded when they what a loss they have sustained by this unreasonable act For some weeks past yea even months we have heard reports from the License Commissioners to the effect that some one or perhaps two of oar hotels would have to a license and we heard the names of one or two hotels which on merits could not stay bat was the name of the North American Hotel ever hinted at as being the unlucky No such a thought have been an outrage on the judgement of any sane man I venture to say that there is not a man In our town or country surrounding it who will say that this hotel ever since Messrs Crake have had the management thereof has been conducted in any way bat a strictly decent respectable manner and I further say that the present proprietors paid the highest regard to the license laws and there could have been no tion to them on that score Again this is really the farmers Hotel of our town it is so near busy market with accommodation for about 150 horses and vehiclea should its gates close up and Its yards be fenced then realize what these three officials whom we might have deemed all men done Let me ask again this the third hotel in onr town or is it the sixth So far as merit is concerned there is not a man of fur judgement who will not name this as the third best house in our town then Sir what kind of influence has this body of three to change their convic tions in the last few weeks and give a sample of wisdom snoh a shock to intelligence There could not have been any complaints on the part of the License Inspector be cause this pro bono publico bad every opportunity for investigation and he woald not served his office well had he allowed any report to come to him without making an manly investiga tion even though he should fail in secur ing convictions aa has nearly always been his lot in the past Hat any other person including an innkeeper handed any report verbal or written to this Inspector com plaining of any illegality on the part of these good proprietors No because it would have been too and for each Inspector to form a prejudice without an open proper investigation therefore we cannot consider that such has been the case What hen has prayed so heavily upon the mines of these License fathers to bring about such a puerile judgement We cannot say that they have been advised with any external being we dare not say that their pockets have been filled with gold but surely we can say that such an calls for an open explanation to our townspeople to Messrs Crake who have served us faithfully What will our local member say of wise trio when he hears how this blunder judgement has grated on the ears of his intelligent yes of every intelligent man Surely in tbe just demands and interests of our town he will come forward with the proper means for reinstating A Crake to carry on busi ness In their efficient manner in this same Hotel as of old Yours truly 140 pieces on sale Friday Morning July 8 Colors Good Width Newest Patterns
