The liquor license applications against

pervisors yesterday morning. The fol-
lowing saloon licenses were granted:

deau, Hollywood; M. Labaig & Co.,
Hollywood; Eugene Lapp, Pico

Evert, Lancaster; Mayes & Gentry,

Brown, North Pasadena; w. B. Cald-
well, Cahueuga; A. Betz, Ramona; G.
G. Garvin, Farmdale; A. Ginnochio, Ell
Monte Road, and Timothy Lyons, Ell

The application OF Pedro Lasos, at
Spadra, was laid on the table for future
hearing; also the applications of VIM.
Shannon of Rosedale. G. Garibaldi of
Alhambra. Gustave Hede of Pico
Heights, and Mrs. Roop of Sycamore
Grove.
The application of T. B. Billings,
Farmdale district, was refused, and that
of P. J. Flynn, Rosedale, was withdrawn
by the applicant.
On the strength of an affidavit by
Billings, the application of George G.
Garvin was reconsidered and passed for
hearing until 10 a. m. next Wednesday.
At the opening OF the afternoon ses-
sion G. Garibaldi of Alhambra asked
leave to withdraw his application and
submit another for a hotel in another
location. Mr.. G. 8. Johnston of AL
hambra objected unless the people of
that place were given an opportunity to
file protest.
"We do not claim that Garibaldi is an
unfit person to run saloon," said Mr..
Johnston, "as he does not run the place,
but puts another person to run his sa-
loon. If that man is Objectionable shall
we protest against him"
Supervisor Davis the man in
charge Of the saloon is Objectionable,
the protest should be made against him.
Mr.. Taggart When license is
granted the applicant must put up a
good and sufficient bond for the proper
conduct of the saloon. The protests
do not recite when the Objectionable
acts alleged were committed.
Supervisor FORESTER The protests
should be in all cases filed against the
conduct of the saloon.
Supervisor Davis-As l understand
the law the agent should make the ap-
plication and not the principal.
Mr.. Last-The objection should be
made against the man who is the prin.
cipal, as he furnishes the bond.
Supervisor Hubbard-That is just
what 1 think. If the contrary were
true then a mans barkeeper should
make the application.
Mr.. Taggart-Then in that case the
board of supervisors would have the
power to say whom we shall employ.
Deputy District Attorney Marble
That clause was placed in the ordinance
in order that the board could determine
as to the responsibility of the applicant.
In the past brewers have operated
saloons under some ones else name.
This clause is to fix the responsibility
on the principals bond.
Supervisor Davis-I insist, Mr.. Mar
BILE, that you have not read the ordi-
nance carefully.
Deputy District Attorney Marble-As
l drew up the ordinance 1 certainly
should know what it contains.
Mr.. Taggert-We are perfectly willing
to comply with the law as the board
construes it, but there should be a
definite conclusion.
Supervisor Hubbard-If the character
OF saloon is called into question the
board can Judge on it and the principal
is responsible, for the acts of his agents
If the agents are men of bad character
and run an improper place the principal
is the responsible party and he gives
the bond.
| Supervisor FOrrester-If man is oil
notoriously bad character we will not
grant a license, and if he runs an i'm
| proper house we can refuse him.
Mr.. G.. B. Johnston-If Mr.. Garibaldi
has withdrawn his original application
then he should close that place up.
Mr.. Taggart-If Mr.. Garibaldi is given
| $2500 by the people of Alhambra he will
close up and give one-half the money tc
some benevolent society the board may
name.
Mr.. G.. B. Johnston-It won't do fol
| the board to 60 into the business of buy
ing saloons.
Mr.. Last-The board is not asked to
| do so. You must admit, however, that
Mr.. Garibaldi's business is worth some
thing to him. If you destroy his bust
ness he ought to be entitled to some
consideration.
The application of John Manning o1
Pico Heights was read and Supervisor
Davis said he understood there were
| objections, but the people failed to show
up. ''If people want to object they
ought to come to the board and make
them," said Supervisor Hubbard. The
| following license was then granted
Mrs. Roop, Sycamore Grove. The new
application OF G.. Garibaldi was placed
on file. The bond of Males & Geetry
was disapproved, neither of the sureties
appearing on the assessment roll. This
closed the proceedings on the liquor
