Mr. Reardon statesthere is no prohibition against it in the statue set forth wl`t-h. applying a rule of reason to it. Selectman Lawrence also notes there is a heavy annual fee to protect licensed establishments and certain establishments are getting around the payment of this fee by having one day functions. Fred Peters has mentioned that the club would like to obtain a year round license at a later date when they have the funds available. Chairman Carter has suggested for Kevin Harrington to draft a letter to. 'the ABCC for an advisory opinion on this matter. The Board will address the situation at that point.
