License enforcement in Quincy raises a volatile debate
In Quincy a license law for selling liquor is challenged as unenforced and unfair. The piece argues for strict enforcement to protect city revenue and law-abiding residents, while noting pressure from licensed sellers and anti license factions. It urges council action or a special session to repeal ordinances if enforcement fails. A separate note discusses three cent postal envelopes and contractor advertising, a serious accident in which Mr. Herndon was injured by a kick from a horse, and remarks on Western trade prospects and a London meeting on a commercial college with Lord Harrowby.
