Alcohol Control Board Issues Order After Horse Race Sheets Are Found

Joseph Manfredini, saloon operator of 306 Federal Street, must close the doors of his place for the next fifteen days by order of the Municipal Alcoholic Beverage Control.

The decree was issued last night after a hearing on charges made by state ABC agents.

Agents charged they raided Manfredini’s place January 10 and discovered a box containing $23 and two horse race sheets.

In placing the ban on the saloon, John J. Morrissey, chairman, declared the board also considered a conviction against the saloon operator last year, when he was tined $200 on charges of violating a section of a city ordinance.

James J. Daly, of 800 Linden Street, charged by state agents with having a bottle of liquor in his barroom which did not comply with contents noted on the label, was dismissed and placed on probation for the remainder of the current license year.

Daly, who has been in the saloon business here for 33 years, said contents of the bottle in question was for his own personal use and had been diluted because he was unable to drink liquor of high alcoholic proof.
