Bath liquor licenses double former fee despite No vote
Bath voters rejected cocktail bar licenses 1608 to 1563 on September 9 but Bath hotels and clubs received 1941 license applications. The cost rises from 300 to 600 dollars annually due to 1940 census figures placing Bath in the 10 000 to 20 900 population bracket. Attorney Carey seeks a hearing to overturn the tabulation claiming the Yes vote prevailed. A recount petition is also sought on malt beverage questions after a preliminary check found about 300 ballots missing.
