applicant.
Applicant is it mau
straw and merely a blind put forward by Hock Goon and his wife. An agreement has been entered into by these parties to the effect that Mr. Hock Goon disposes of his interest for $6,000. $200 of this amount to be paid as soon as licence is granted and Mr. and Mrs. Hock Goon to re- main in the Hotel until the balance $5,800 is paid up. The smallness of the amount to be paid over at once shows that the sale is not a bona fide one and that Hock Goon and his wife would remain per- manently on the promises and carry on the business which would be objec- tionable.
