A DELEGATION VISITS THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS
IN THE INTEREST OF THE RESTAURANT KEEPERS.
Messrs. James L. Barbour, Frank Hume, George
Holmes and large number OF liquor Dealers res
taurant keepers and merchants waited upon the
Commissioners to-day at noon. Mr. Barbour
stated the object of the interview to be to def
n1tely ascertain what course the Commits
soners intended to pursue in the matter of
where a person had fully compiled with
the law the license should not
be withheld. The main question in discussion was
the power OF the commissioners to close reStaur-
ant within 400 feet OF school building, especially
II the proprietor had been located there for years
owners, and had not violated the law Mr.. Bar
bour argued that the Commissioners might refuse
to allow any restaurant to be located within 400
feet OF school building In the future but those
doing business within that limit, especially they
were located prior to the erection of the school
building, should not be compelled to remove. The
Commissioners entered freely into the discussion
Gen. West stated that there were other interests
at stake besides the liquor dealers. The morals OF
the community. the best interests OF the city and
the education OF the rising generation were to be
considered He showed that out OF 500 or more ap-
plications which had been filed only
prescribed limit In his judgment not more than
a total of 40 would be rejected on this ground
among all the restaurants In the city. This was
only about 10 per cent
Mr.. Hume answered that even this ten per cent
had rights Gen. West replied that it was ques-
ton whether the interests OF city were not bet
localities than by letting them remain. The ques-
ton of the time which should be allowed these
parties to remove also considered but no defi-
mite action taken.
