Intoxicating Liquors.

The Liquor Traffic in the State of New Jersey is governed and regulated by a license system. The distinctive features of the Law are: First, The power given each municipality to practically control the amount of the license fee within its limits, the law fixing only the minimum amount, and, Second, The right of each municipality to use all sums received for liquor licenses for its own purposes. The most important sections of the law are as follows:

Section 1 amended by 56.

Section 56. That the inferior courts of common pleas in and for the several counties of this state shall be and hereby are authorized and empowered in their discretion to transfer any license granted by them under and by virtue of the act to which this is a supplement; and in case of transfer the license so transferred shall be only be good or effective for the unexpired term thereof at either the place or premises men tioned in the original license, or else at the place or premises to which the person or persons named in the original license shall remove and locate within the corporate limits of any city, town, township or borough for which the original license may have been granted; provided, however, that the applicant for such transfer shall, if the transfer sought is from one person to another person, and not from one place to another place, at the time of the making of said application present to the court a petition signed by at least twelve freeholders of the city, town, township or borough in which the original license was granted, requesting the inferior courts of common pleas to grant such transfer, and which said petition shall set forth that the person requesting such transfer is a person of good repute for honesty and temperance and is known to the freeholders requesting such transfer to have at least two spare beds more than are necessary for the family use, and that the place proposed to be licensed is well provided with house room, stabling and provender; and if the transfer sought is from one place to another place the same kind of application in this proviso stated shall be made, with the same certificate, but it shall be presented in open court on the first day of a regular term thereof at the usual hour or time set by the court for the presentation of license applications; and provided further, that the applicant seeking such transfer of license shall file with the clerk of said court a notice of such proposed application at least ten days

before making such application; and in case of transfer, the license so transferred shall only be good for the unexpired term thereof.

Section 3 amended by 54.

Sec. 54. That no person shall be licensed to keep an inn and tavern, but such as shall be recommended by at least twelve reputable freeholders of the city or township where the said inn and tavern is proposed to be kept, who shall certify that the person so recommended by them, is of good repute for honesty and temperance, and is known to the persons recommending, to have at least two spare beds more than are necessary for the family's use, and is well provided with house room, stabling and provender; and it shall be the duty of the presiding judge, at the time of application made, and before a license is granted, to call upon the judges present, to make known any facts or objections within their knowledge, if any there be, why such application should not be granted; and thereupon the court may, in their discretion, grant the license prayed for by the applicant.

Sec. 3. That no person shall be licensed to keep an inn and tavern unless the freeholders who shall recommend him or her shall sign such recommendation within thirty days next preceding the opening day of the term on which application for license shall be made, and shall also certify that such an inn and tavern is necessary and will conduce to the public good.

Sec. 4. That if any person, who shall sign a recommendation as aforesaid, shall therein have imposed on the court, either by signing to an undeserved character, or by describing a situation not true, or in any other manner, then every person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction shall be fined in the sum of ten dollars, to be paid to the overseers of the poor where the said inn and tavern was proposed to be kept, and applied to the use of the poor of the township or precinct.

Sec. 5.
