Liquor License Refused for the Cor
ner of Mason and Post.


The Police Commissioners met last night
and considered an application from Charles
A. Slack for liquor license for g new
saloon on the northeast corner of Mason
and Post streets. 1t was accompanied by a
petition pnrr orting TO be signed by twelve
property-owners on the block.
The members Of the First Congregational
Church, which is on the southeast corner
of Mason and Post. passed resolution at
meeti on September Is protesting
against the granting of a license on the
grounds of morality and decency, and
lodged written protest with The board.
DIR. Brown, pastor of the church, was pres
ent last night TO support the protest. He
pointed out there were already two saloons
opposite the doors of the church, one on
the southwest corner and the other on the
northwest corner, and there was another
within 100 feet of the church. Property
in the vicinity had been deprecated in
value by the presence OF these saloons and
members of the congregation hesitated to
send their children to the Sunday-school
in view Of the crowds that always gather
around saloon doors. On behalf of the
congregation he most stren0usly opposed
the granting OF license for another
saloon in tina; locality.
The applicants attorney urged that as
his client had been put to considerable eX-
Dense in httlng uD the saloon and as a
petition signed by twelve property-O wners
In favor of the license had been presented
it should be granted.
DR.. Brown triumphed and the license
was refused.

The Committee on Pablic Expenditure
80 Declares.
The committee on public expendi-
lures from the board of supervisors
has made its report, and after i'm
specting the old court house found
that it will cost from 81. 900 to s., 900
to remodel it. which will have to be
done in the interest of public prop
e7ty in case the proposition to build
. new court house does not carry
this fall. The committe also finds
that the county Jail is in an unsani-
tary condition and unsafe. and it
would take from $4,000 to $15, 900
to improve it in accordance with
modern ideas. The committee made
no recommendation as to what should
be done with the Jail. 1t will cost
the county $l2, 200 to $1,000 to re-
model the present buildings, which
even then would be disgrace to the
community. The committee ur-
gently recommends the necessity of
new court house.
