concerned about the length of time it was taking to get clearance from the CBI.

copy the Governor to express our concern about the length of time it takes to get
clearance for liquor license applicants; seconded by Mrs. DiCroce.

interest for him. Motion carried in 5-1 with Mr. Miks voting no and Mr. Berry
