Hudson Restaurant Is Given Liquor License The Nil Liquor commission has cnimously voted to issue a restaurant liquor license to John and Agnes Bcdnar, doing business as the Pine Acres restaurant on Ferry st, Hudson. The Telegraph was officially advised of the license grant by Franklin Flanders of Commission chairman.

Weare, The state body's action follows a 'controversial public hearing held in. Concord Wednesday. A majorily of those present spoke against the granting of it license lo the Bednars although the Commission had approved the establishment as a first class restaurant. This issue reached such proportions that John Bednar's supporters had claimed the state Highway the request of Chief of Police Andrew J. Polak, had painted a solid, yellow line in front of the restaurant.

INVESTIGATION A personal investigation by the Telegraph produced a nearly unfounded claim of inconvenience (o restaurant patrons. The newspaper found a solid painted traffic line did run along the restaurant's entrance but is is broken along the establishment's parking area--to permit easy access. Furthermore, an official of the Nil Department of Public Works and Highways had said earlier: "The law reads you may cross the solid line. In no way "does it stop vehicles from reaching a certain destination."

"The commission, in determining what is a first-class restaurant, must take all of these factors into consideration if it is to be fair and just in the granting of licenses.
