Obscure Phrase Sparks Attention in A Fine Thought
Fragmentary OCR yields a cryptic line about diamonds and thought, with unclear author attribution and missing context. The readable bits hint at a literary or poetic remark rather than a clear news event. Further text needed to establish the subject and place.
Amendments to Liquor Control Law Authorize Special Constables
The act amends Chapter 670 of the Public Laws to empower town councils to appoint special constables to enforce liquor prohibitions and curb nuisances, with powers similar to sheriffs and city police. It restricts liquor sales to licensed taverns, details license transfer rules, required licenses in writing, and adjusts penalties and fees for seizures and administration.
