GERMAN SENTIMENT As TO THE LIoroK
TRAFPIC AND CHURCH TANATION.-A meet
ing OF German citizens was held at Beck's hall
last night TO consider the subject OF the with
holding by the Police Commissioners OF liquor
licenses to certain German restaurant keepers;
also the subject OF exempting church property
from taxation. Resolutions were adopted to
petition Congress for the repeal OF the act ex-
empiing church property in this District from
taxation.
In relation to the rejection OF applications for
liquor licenses, MIR. Simon Wolf stated that
Major Richards had assured him that the letter
addressed to the Police Commissioners by the
German American representative committee
had been read at their meeting on last Tues
day. but not acted upon, and would form a
subject OF consideration at the meeting OF the
board to- day. He further stated that several
of the restaurant keepers whose licenses had
been refused had them granted subsequently,,
and that doubtless the majority of the cases still
remaining for consideration would be favorably
disposed OF. Mr.. Schade stated that he knew
for = certainty that such was not the case: that
the letter in question had been laid on the Ia
BILE, and would not be again considered. Mr..
Wolf reiterated what he said before, and after
lengthy discussion resolution was adopted
instrucuDg the representative committee to ap-
point a committee OF five of its members who
shall wait upon the Police Commissioners at
their meeting to-day, and urge them to take
action in the matter, also to ask the Police
Commissioners 10 grant permission to such of
the restaurant keepers whose applications for
license had not yet been acted upon TO reopen
their places of business until decision in their
respective cases was reached. Messrs Adler, I
Wagner. Helms, Augustein and Saur were ap-
pointed the committee to wait on the Police
Commissioners to-day.
