The state Alcoholic Beverage
Control Commission today denied
that Barnstable has been authoriz-
ed four additional "pouring" liq-
uor licenses.
Commission secretary Patrick
Beaty said the additional licenses
have not been certified by the
commission. "Barnstable acted
prematurely in announcing that
licenses are available," said Bea-
ty.
The ABC spokesman said the
commission cannot authorize addi-
tional licenses based on popula-
tion figures until the figures have
been certified by the Secretary of
State.
Chairman of Selectman E. Tho-
mas Murphy, who announced last
Wednesday that a new census had
been validated by the ABC and
that four new licenses were ap -
proved , was unavailable for com-
ment today. Selectman Murphy
reportedly was in an accident and
was suffering what was describ-
ed as "whiplash. "
Selectman George Cross said
meanwhile that he was aware that
a discrepancy had arisen over the
availability of new licenses. Se-
lectman Cross said he had cau -
tioned Chairman Murphy about
making the announcement last
week that more year-round pour-
ing licenses were available.
ABC spokesman Beaty said that
Barnstable presently has filled its
liquor quota at 21. "Actually, Barn-
stable has 23 pouring licenses,"
Beaty said. "We do not count 2
club licenses.
He said the ABC is now receiv-
ing figures "piece meal from the
Secretary of State's office . Beat?
said the last official census for
Barnstable was in 1965 which list-
ed the town's year-round popula-
tion at 15,609.
In announcing last week that
the selectmen would accept appli-
cations for four more licenses,
Chairman Murphy said the In -
crease is based on a new popula-
tion census of 19,844 inhabitants.
Beaty said that for a population
gain of 1,000 the commission au-
thorizes one year-round license.
"If Barnstable's population has
grown by 4,000 then it is probable
that 4 more licenses will be allow-
ed," Beaty said, "but the select-
men acted at their own risk in an-
nouncing the availability of more
licenses.
Hs said he did not expect certi-
fication of Barnstable's population
figure for "more than a week."

TOWN TOPICS
STILL HARVESTING—If the worst drought In several years has been of deep concern to forest fire
watchers and home owners with their shrubs and trees and gardens, the progress of Cape Cod's cran-
berry crop has moved at a great rate because of the many sun-drenched days since picking of the
early "Blacks ". It looks like a record berry crop what with the late Howes berries to be harvested start-
ing about Oct. 18, according to Arnold Lane, Cape C>d Extension Service official in Agriculture.
"As bicycle popularity and bicy-
cle sales grow to record heights,
the problem of bicycle theft and
rtcovery has grown right along
with It," Chief Albert Hinckley of
the Barnstable Police Department
said today.
"Bicycle theft has become a
problem of major importance",
Hinckley said. "Stealing a bicycle
these days is more often a matter
of grand larceny than petty theft,
as more and more peoplo- - parti-
cularly a growing number of adults
- - spend more money on high
quality, sophisticated bicycles."
Police agencies all over the
country have been reporting an In-
crease of bicycle thefts, the Chief
noted , ranging from individual
theft to highly organized rings of
bike thieves who steal them on
order for people who apparently
know they are buying stolen mer-
chandise at bargain prices.
The Chief lifted the following
items as being helpful in preven-
tion of bicycle theft (and eventual
recovery if a bike Is stolen) as re-
ceived from the Bicycle Institute
of America:
1. Lock bike to a stationary
object whenever you leave It un-
attended. Use a heavy-duty case-
hardened chain and lock having
a shackle of not less than 3/8 In
diameter.
2. Lock bike In conspicuous
place , where an attempted theft
is mure apt to be noticed. Do not
leave it locked anywhere overnight.
Take it Indoors.
3. Run chain through both the
wheels and frame before locking
bike to bike rack or other objects .
If bike comes with quick-release
hubs, remove front wheel and
place it next to rear wheel before
running chain through wheels and
frame.
4. Locking bike to itself , that
is, Just lockin g the wheels to the
frame , is no protection at all. The
whole bike can be put in a car or
truck and the lock removed at the
thief's leisure.
5. Record serial number of bicy-
cle. Be sure you record serial
number , not model number. De-
pending on where and when bicy-
cle was made, serial number will
be found stamped into metal on
either underside of pedal- crank
housing, on left, rear toe- plate
near rear axle , or on front of head-
tube under manufacturer 's name
or Insignia.
6. Take a color picture of bike ,
getting as good a close-up as possi-
ble while still getting whole bicy-
cle in the picture. The serial num-
ber and color picture will be of
great help to police in identifying
and returning bike if it is stolen.
7. Register bicycle with the po-
lice department.
8. List bike , by description and
registration or serial number , on
personal property floater of your
home owner 's insurance policy.

One petition coming before Barn-
stable Board of Appeals next week
Is expected to stir considerable in-
terest among several factions of
the town's population.
Leisure Village of CapeCod, Inc.
on Wednesday, Oct 13, at 3 p.m.
in the town hall hearing room in
Hyannis will present plans for the
building of 300 units of multiple-
family dwellings on a 30 plus acre
plot west of Pitcher's Way, running
from Route 28 to near Bearse's
The dwellings, constructed under
provisions of Chapter 40B of the
Massachusetts General L a w s ,
would be constructed in three
stages of about 100 each and would
be for the occupancy of low and
moderate income families.
The lack of this type housing for
year-round living has been the
brunt of controversy lasting much
of the summer on the Cape. In
Barnstable, the Housing Authority
has come in for a fair share of
criticism from various agencies for
its failure to implement action
along this line to accommodate the
growing number of tenants who
face June evictions annually.
Cape realtors have also stirred
the wrath of those seeking homes
during the summer season when
they could not comply with the
demands of the lower income
groups, extend leases etc. Feelings
have run high, and though the sea-
son is over, the memory of demon-
strations, picketing, attempts to
close the bridges at the canal and
families spending the summer In
the armory in Hyannis remains.
Because of these factors and
many more, next week's hearing
is certain to be considered of more
than passing interest.

A tentative price tag of $11 mil-
lion has been pinned on the pro-
posed new 2,200 student high sch-
ool, a jump of about $1 million
over previous estimates.
Actual construction costs have
been scheduled at $9.8 million, but
architect fees and other expenses
will push the total package figure
over $11 million.
Building assistance funds from
the state are expected to pay for
about 40 percent of the $9.8 million
construction costs.
School Committee members said
Monday night that they are con-
sidering a special town meeting
for Nov. 16 for a vote on a bond
issue to finance the new school.
A breakdown of costs revealed
earlier this week Include: basic
construction at $8.4 million ; equip-
ment at $550,000; site development
and utilities at $850,000. In addi-
tion to this total of $9.8 million,
mother $660,000 in architect fees,
$950,000 for movable equipment
and $10,000 for plans brings the
overall figure to $11.4 million.

Launching ceremonies for the
U.S.S. Barnstable County (LST -
1197) , a tank landing ship, were
held Saturday, Oct. 2, at the Na-
tional Steel and Shipbuilding Com-
pany in San Diego, California.
E. Thomas Murphy, Chairman
of Barnstable selectmen, attend -
ed the ceremonies along with nu-
merous Naval officials and honor-
ed guests.
This ship has an increased com-
bat vehicular lift and combat lan-
ding capability which affords the
swiftest and most efficient means
of landing tanks, artillery, and
assault vehicles under combat
conditions.
The management and employ-
ees wished the new ship and its
crew smooth sailing and an honor-
ed and distinguished service.
Cranberry juice was seriously
considered for tbe christening in-
stead of champagne. Feeling that
stains and discoloring might re -
suit, the Navy decided to stay
with the traditional.
The U.S.S. Barnstable County is
the fleet's second ship to be na-
med in honor of the Cape Cod
county. The first ship was an at-
tack transport which operated In
