AFFECTS LIQUOR SELLERS
Action of the Excise Board in tie Matter of
Licenses.
Lieutcnants of Police Reporting
Saloons Which In Their Judgment
Should BE Closed.

There will be a reduction in the number
of liquor licenses granted this year. AL
ready the liquor dealers in the city have
heard the news. and there is considerable
uheasiness among them. Those who have
violated the law have little hope of receiv-
ing renewal of their licenses, and others
who have been persistent violators, but
never apprehended, are awaiting anxiously
the action of the excise board.
For the first time since the organization
of the board, the lieutenants of the several
precincts have, under orders from the Com
missioners, submitted a list of places which
they recommend be not relicensed during
the present license year. 1t is understood
that upward of twenty-five saloons have
been recommended for adjustment, and
there is little question of the intention of
the excise board to follow the recommends
ton. The general subject of licensing sa-
Icons has been more thoroughly gone into
this year, 1t is said, than ever before.
Discusses the Subject.
Mr. Frank Madigan, who represents a
number of the dealers before the excise
board, discussed the subject with a report
er of The Star this afternoon. He said:
We all understand what is going on in
the matter of reducing the number of sa-
looms. Speaking for a large clientage, I
will say that any wholesale reduction of
saloons, based simply upon desire to re-
duce the number, would be contrary to the
Jaw and intent of Congress. Many of those
engaged in the liquor traffic are good, law
abiding citizens, who have built up a trade
oy reason of strict attention to business
and the regulations. How eminentiy unfair
1t would be to put one of these out of the
business. They have property rights,
submit, that should be taken into consider
atom.
eff, for the sake of argument, it is grant
cd that there are too many saloons, how,
when and where are you to reduce them?
There is but one just way, and that Is to
follow the rule of the excise board and re-
fuse licenses to violators of the law. If
this rule is not followed, who is to suffer?
Surely not the man who has been a law
abiding citizen and who has never violated
the regulations governing the sale of liquor.
Another Phase.
II have heard it argued that on certain
squares in the city there are too many sa-
Icons. Suppose there are These saloons
were permitted to open, and it would be
manifestly unfair to take away the license
of any one of them unless they have vio-
lated the law. The liquor dealers have been
driven, for the most part, from the resi-
Dental portions of the city. They are To-
Gated in the business sections, where they
are necessity. If the number should be
reduced, is it not better to weed out the bad
ohes each year? This natural reduction
WILL in a short time, / claim, solve the
problem and rid the city of the bad places"
