The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-07-05

the advent of the new brewery with
its primo" beer and deep blue colored
beer wagons introduces a new kind of
saloon to Honolulu of which the
aloha" on Punchbowl street is a type
but not the only one of the kind. Tech
nically and legally these saloons are
denominated malt liquor saloons" but
they are as strictly beer saloons as il
would be possible for descriptive Ian
guage TO make them since they can
sell nothing but beer and that of the
home brewed kind. They are authorized
and licensed under Part V of chapter Al
of the penal code which Is as follows:
Section 479. The Minister of the In
terror is hereby authorized to grant
licenses for one year in this Republic
to any person or persons making writ
ten application for the same to sell by
the glass, or in any other quantity less
than five gallons malt liquors manu-
featured in Honolulu under Sections
412 to AS inclusive, upon receiving for
each license the sum of two hundred
and fifty dollars.
Section $50. The proposed location of
such licensed premises shall be subject
to approval by the said Minister, and
shall not be changed except by his writ
ten consent.
Section 4S1. Before receiving Ii
cense to sell malt liquors as above, the
applicant shall file an approved bond
with the Minister of the Interior in the
penalty of one thousand dollars, con-
ditioned:
First: That he will not dispose of
any malt liquors to any person in a
state of intoxication. or to minors.
Second: That he will not sell or
otherwise dispose of on the premises
for which he is licensed any wines. malt
liquors or spirits of any description
whatever; and also that he will not
store, or allow to be stored on the prem
ises for which he is licensed any wines
malt liquors or spirits of any descrip-
ton whatsoever, except such beer man
ufactured in Honolulu, and under the
said aforementioned sections.
Section 4S2. Such license and bond
may contain any provisions which, in
the opinion of said Minister, shall be
necessary to the correct regulation of
the business and premises so licensed,
and to prevent or detect violations of
this act, or of such license or bond.
Section 4S3. Upon the conviction of
the party so licensed for breach of any
of the terms of his bond or license, the
amount of such bond shall be forfeited.
and, in addition to all penalties imposed
by law, he shall be ineligible for a Ii
cense of any class for term of two
years.
The law it will be seen authorizes the
Minister of Interior to grant these Ii
| censes and does not require him to con-
suit the executive council in the matter.
Under the organic act the Treasurer
succeeds to this duty and responsibility.
1t is over these licenses that one of the
causes of difference between the trea-
surer and the acting governor has
arisen. The treasurer declines to bring
the subject before the conference of the
heads of departments, but issues the
licenses on his own responsibility.
Quite a number of these malt saloons
have been opened this week and others
are to be started. Treasurer Wright has
not decided upon a limit and still has
applications under consideration. In
all probability licenses will be granted
for most of the localities infested with
Illicit dealers and swpe sellers. The
fee being charged for these licenses is
$3.50 per annum, with bond in the sum
of $1,000 that the places will be kept
orderly and that nothing but beer and
that to be of Hawaiian manufacture,
will be sold A part of the contract,
| too, is that If any hard liquors are
| found on the premises the license of the
keeper of the place will forthwith lapse.
Up to today Treasurer Wright has is
sued the following licenses: Henry
Klemme near the foot of PunchbowI
street; d. II. thompson, Queen near
Punchbowl; ]. T. Figuerado, Queen at
| foot of South; Charles Vessels, Queen
Waikiki of South; Eugene p. Sullivan,
| Iwilei; p. f. Ryan, Aala, King street.
II. c. Vida has been given permission
to start a place in Iwilei but will prob
| ably back out of 1t.
No more resorts of this character will
| be opened in Kakaako, Treasurer
| Wright and High Sheriff Brown this
| morning deciding to close the LIST
| Others will be established in PaIama,
kunnNal and nrnha hlI. Z nliIai
