Connecticut License Law Brings Reform After Prohibition Era

Connecticut moves away from a dead letter prohibition statute toward a stringent license system for liquor. The measure requires Board of County Commissioners licenses with town selectmen input and empowers residents to withhold recommendations at town meetings. License fees range from 100 to 500 dollars, with bonds referenced as part of the act’s contingencies.

Indifference of Administration Delays Tariff Change Justice

The August 1 tariff shift drew criticism as goods entering on that day faced unequal treatment. Officials failed to issue a formal directive, creating a split between shipments before and after 3 PM July 31 and leaving New York mercantile interests exposed to old rates for late arrivals. The Journal of Commerce noted unofficial guidance, but no official order altered the law’s application.
