Withholds Comment Pending Receipt of Senate Committee Report. All comment on the report of the Senate committee which investigated the excise board was refused by members of the board yesterday. Copies of the report have not been furnished the board, it was said by Gen. Robert G. SMITH, chairman, and it therefore has no official information as to the findings. It was intimated by Gen. SMITH, however, that even when the board receives the report it will make no statement. Gen. SMITH refused to state whether the board will consider making any changes before next November in existing licenses said in the committee report to have been granted without due consideration for the law. Three hearings were held by the board yesterday on application for transfer of liquor licenses. A. E. SHOEMAKER appeared for the Antisaloon League in the cases, but did not object to the transfers. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
