Licenses ARE OPPOSED
Five "Reminiscences Filled With Clerk
Of the Courts Thomas.
Two ARE FROM THE NORTH END
Reasons Advanced Why Permission to
Sell Liquor shomId he Denied TO the
Names Signed to the
Different RcmOustrauccs.

Remonstrances were filed Saturday in
the office of Clerk Of the Courts John
H. Thomas against five applicants for
liquor licenses. The names of fifty-sev-
en- prominent residents of the North
End are on a petition against granting
the privilege of selling liquor to d. w.
Thomas, Of 2727 North Main avenue.
and John Walkenshaw, Of 1888 North
Main avenue.
1t is charged that the place kept by
Thomas is only 125 feet away from the
hotel of Benjamin Davis, is therefore
unnecessary, and would be injurious to
the moral welfare of the people in that
vicinity. The remonstrance against
Walkenshaw says that he is a person of
Incorporate habits, and, moreover, a
saloon at his place is entirely unneces-
sary from the fact that there are q
sufficient number of drinking places
now to accommodate the public.
