the board unhesitatingly approved the
recommendation, and ordered the saloons
closed after the first of May. The chief IS

The first complaint was against the old
Vienna Buffet, conducted under license
granted to w. c. Ware, at 10l Requena

that Ware has nothing to do with the
management of the place, but that 1t is
owned solely by Pete Kelly and Joe Mosh-

lice. Mosher once ran a saloon at First
