Liberty Township Still Dry in Indiana Remonstrance Circulated
A remonstrance circulates in Liberty township to block James Hunt from a liquor license and will be filed Friday with enough names to keep the township dry. Liberty was among Indiana's first to adopt blanket remonstrance laws and has been dry for four years. It is said Hunt seeks a license for Oscar Hamilton, formerly a saloon operator in Liberty and later in Montpelier. Three other license applications await commissioners Monday, each opposed by George Cotton. Lem Stout, Charles Fryback and Tilden Clark have applied for city licenses.
