tions and Protests.

The police commissioners are right in
he middle OF an interesting little squa b.
BILE over saloon license. The matter
has already occupied the attention OF
the commissioners at two regular and
one special sessions, and the matter has
now gone over to speoia Injecting, called
or this morning at 10 O'Clock.
M. L. Polaski and Robert Kern, of the
firm of Polaski & Co., have ask cd for q
transfer of the saloon license whica they
hold for 2l7 South Spring to 215 South
Spring.
One week ago yesterday there was q
protest filed against this app lication and
yesterday this was supplsm ented by an
other protest. signed by q large number
of persons.
The gentlemen who desire the license
evidently were informed OF the fact that
this numeroualy signed protest would
be presented, for they were on hand
with their lawyer, Adolph Ramish, and
q counter petition signed by about an
equal number OF persons as were repre-
sented on the protest.
1t is apparent that the chief opposi-
tion to the license comes from the Hol.
lenbeck hotel people and Mr.. Schroeder,
the gentleman who is fitting up the
Hollenbeok bar at the present time.
Major Holton .and Attorney Appel ap.
peared for these parties, and made out a
strong case at the morning session OF
the commissioners. and at the afternoon
session. when the matter was again

Mr.. Perry, who owns the Los Angeles
theater and music hall. also appeared
are already four saloons in the block.
Asked by Mr.. Bradieh if it was not q
little unreasonable for man with two
saloons in his own building to object to
one in somebody else's, he aaid that 1t
might be, bat he objected anyway.
The report OF Chief Glass favors the
application for transfer, and Mr.. Polaski
states that he proposes to expend Sit, 900

lowed a license.
The license which Mr.. Polaski holds
he purchased from the former owner oil
the Hollenbeck bar, and he wishes to
have 1t transferred to the place where
Rudolph Stuettig ran the Pacific ga.
loon, though he would put up an en-
tirely new building there.
The commissioners worked on the
proposition until after 5 o'clock last
night, and then adjourned until lC

owners in the block in favor of granting
the application and % against it.
