Excise Board policy under fire over licensing plan
Public criticism grows as the Excise Board enforces a new licensing policy. They restrict new saloons mainly to hotels and upscale cafes, bar suburban district access, and require residency by Boston by May first. With many applications filed, outside brewery influence and plainclothes patrols are eyed, provoking protests from West Roxbury and other districts.
