FOR RE-HEARING ON SUSPENSION Four local establishments, among twelve in the county whose liquor licenses are scheduled to be suspended, are petitioning for a re-hearing in which they hope to have the suspension amendment issued two weeks ago declared void. They include Edwin Hettermann, Johnsburg tavern; Art Henschel, Art and Lee's tavern, McHenry; Fred Ritter, Norsemen's Resort, McHenry; and James Chadburg, Mill Inn, Ringwood. These and the other eight establishments were ordered | to close for periods from five to thirty days for possession of federal gambling stamps. Later, the commission amended the order and moved the suspension date to April 1. The Aurora attorney representing the twelve was among those., who helped to write the Illinois Liquor Control act. He hopes to prove that the original suspension order is void, and that an illegal order cannot be amended.
