No End of Saloons Licensed.

New York, 1895

The board of excise of Hempstead has eclipsed all records in the matter of granting licenses. At a meeting at Rockaway Beach on Tuesday 111 licenses were granted, making a total for two meetings held of 253, the amount realized being $9,108. Of the number granted Tuesday, 96 were for hotels and saloons on Rockaway Beach.
