Hotel Italy License Renewal Denied by Board
It was reported that the Hotel Italy will not receive a keeper’s license renewal this year, omitting the North End hostelry from the list. Protests failed as petitions were unsuccessful, and the decision is seen as a victory for the North End Mission which had opposed renewal for over a year. The hotel will effectively close on Sundays under the existing closing law.
