OTHER RESORTS WE'RE GRANT
ED LICENSE
BY CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT.
And 1t is Expected That Others VIII
Go Through at the Next Meeting
The Other Business of n Routine
Nature Transacted by Council at
Its Regular Session.

The proprietors of alleged fake"
hotels, whose applications for renewal
OF liquor licenses have been repeatedly
turned down by the City Council, have
evidently learned the value of the quail
ity of persistency. What seemed at
first to be hopeless fight, has finally
terminated in victory for them, and
an easy victory at that. Council last
night licensed the White Cloud and the
Metropolitan, besides granting transfers
to others who have heretofore been
classed with the fake" hotel keepers
There was comparatively small lob
by, and the action of Council appeared
to occasion no surprise or comment.
The report of the committee on Pc
tftions and RESPONSIVENESS came up early
in the Second, Branch. The committee
recommnded that license be granted to
Lee Buch at No 1928 Main street; Paul
Biery, No. 1892 Market street, and that
license of O'Brien & Golner at 2145
Market street be transferred to Richard
W44Kie, and that license for 1923 to
1890 Market street be transferred to
Mary Letzkus.
The chair ruled. when a point OF or
der was made, that the Biery resolu-
ton would have to go back to the COM
mittee in order to follow the usual
course. .,-,,-~vs- ,o~
lie application of Lee Buch was taK-
en- up, and Ross Chew moved to lay
on the table. The motion was defeat
ed. Mr.. Healy stated that Mr. Buch
intended to move his family into the
building. which is the Metropolitan
Hotel. In explaining his vote Presi-
dent Maxwell stated that he asked Mr..
Buch If he intended to move his fam
lily into the building, and the applieaHt
replied that he had a home Of his own
in the East End. Mr. Maxwell stated
further that member Of Council had
been granted a license under similar
circumstances, but had not removed
his family into the building for which
The was granted license. The license
was granted by vote of II to 7.
The application Of Mrs. Letzkus for
place stirred up considerable conten-
ton. Several members asserted that
Mr.. Leibold is about to move and is
simply awaiting the receipt of the pur-
chase money for the saloon. Mr.. Chew
said it would establish a precedent
which might be followed by all other
rejected applicants. The transfer was
granted by a vote of 16 to s.
In the First Branch, the application
of G. A. Landmesser & Co. for license
at Nos. 1923 and 1880 Market street,
came up as unfinished business. Mr..
Chew having secured a reconsideration
of the vote by which it was granted, just
prior to the adjournment of the last
meeting of Council A motion was
made to grant license Several pairs
were announced, and the vote resulted
as follows:
Ayes-Messrs. Bachman Chew,
Knoke, Schmidt and Williams.
Noes-Messrs Mansbarger, Meyer
and Watterhouse-3.
