Lynn's License Rates Change Rumor in Lynn
Reported on good authority that the license commission will cut wholesale liquor license fees and rescind the rule against granting first and fourth class licenses to one person. No fourth class license will be issued to a dealer not agreeing to sell malt liquor by the can. The price for first and fourth class licenses is said to be set, with a $500 deposit required from each applicant as a good faith guarantee. This may reduce applications and ease commission workload.
