Alcazar. In September, on the recommendation of the Plans Committee,
a strong protest was sent to the Middlesex County Council Licensing Committee
that this place of entertainment should be allowed to be opened to the public
before it had been completed and approved by the local sanitary authority, in
contravention of building by-law 115. The Plans Committee further considered
this contravention on the 10th September, and it was decided to take no further
action. On the 14th October a reply was submitted from the Clerk to the
County Council stating " That no license has yet been issued in respect of the
premises, but that your protest would be submitted to the Licensing Committee."
A temporary license had been issued on June 26th, 1913.
On August 27th, the Architect was instructed to prepare a return showing
