LICENCE REFUSED
RESTAURANT TOO NEAR
DANCING ACADEMY
The proximity, of n dancing academy to the Excelsior Restaurant was one of the objec- tions raised by Mr. T., H. King, Deputy Inspector General of Police, to the granting of a res- taurant keeper's adjunct Veence to Mr. Puran Chand, proprietor of the. Excelsior Restaurant, at the. meeting of the Licensing Board yesterday,
After the Board had considered the application, the Chairman,
(Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn) in- formed the applicant that there' were already sufficient facilities for meals and with drinks in the vicinity of his restaurant. The Board therefore was not prepared to grant the licence.
Others present at the meeting were the Hon. Mr. C. G. Alabaster, (Attorney General), Mr. II. B. L.

Mr. F. G. Nigel, appearing for Mr. Chand, said he understood that from $18,000 to $20,000 has been løpent on the premises and nothing had been skimped to make the restaurant at it and proper place for an eating house, Much money would be lost if the licence was not granted. Many people thought it was impossible to eat a meal with out drinking something at the same time. He himself had been to the place, and it was very well Atted up.
The Chairman-The 'feeling of the Board previously was that there were plenty of pinces already licensed in that vielaity. What have you to put forward in favour of our Issuing another licence,
Mr. Nigel-I don't believe there are n any licensees in that part of Des Voeux Road.. There may be others on the Queen's Road side, but as far as I am aware, there are very few of them on the Des Voeux road side.

After the Board had considered tho question, the Chairman said that the Board was of the opinion that there were at present sufficient facilities for meals and drinks in that locality, and was not prepared to grant the license.
Two Transfers.
The Board granted an applica- tion by Mr. R. H. Waller for the transfer of St. Francis Hotel's licence from Mr. J. C., H. Ryo to himself. It was stated that a now Company had purchased the building.
Mr. C. North's application for a transfer of David's Cafe licence from Mr: G. Gabrullor to himself was also granted. Mr. North stated that he had been assistant manager for Mr. Gabruiler, and had bought the business.
