Number of Saloons.

~ DN~~~O-AS'
: Portage, Wis, April 1S.I[Special.] J.
At the last meeting of the common coun-
Gil a resolution was adopted restricting
the number of saloons in the city and
refusing to issue or transfer a LICENSE
where it will increase the number of
saloons already existing. A case is now
before that body wherein the applicant
for a transfer has been until recently
conducting a saloon in the west end of
the city, and being obliged to vacate the
building he had occupied is asking for a
transfer of the license so that he may
continue business in another building.
On the opinion of City Attorney Stroud
the council refuses to grant the trans
fer. The city attorney says: ''The
council is the sole judge of the license
matter; that it may grant a transfer or
refuse; that it may grant license to one
man and refuse it to another; that it
may grant Il license to person to con-
duct q saloon at one place and refuse
to grant one to the same person to con-
duct a saloon at another place: that the
authority vested in the council in the
matter is supreme"
