Opinion
June 13, 1950.
Appeal from Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department.
Findings of fact by an administrative agency should be sufficiently specific so that a reviewing court may be in a position to intelligently review such findings ( Matter of Scudder v. O'Connell, 272 App. Div. 251, 253). In announcing its determination here, the State Liquor Authority failed to specify the dates upon which it found that the violations charged occurred. However, as contended by respondents upon the appeal, it appears from the record itself that the authority found that petitioner had violated section 65 Alco. Bev. Cont. of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law on September 23, 1949, and on November 5, 1949. There is substantial evidence to sustain such a finding as to each of these two dates. The determinations should accordingly be confirmed.
Peck, P.J., Glennon, Cohn, Van Voorhis and Shientag, JJ., concur.
Determinations unanimously confirmed, with $50 costs and disbursements to the respondents.
