AS liquor is sold upon the grounds. par
ties coming from there are often in a
drunken condition, consequently unfit to
drive. All the adjoining property owners
have objected as far back as 1 can re-
member, and have refused to sign their
liquor permits. which they have been all
lowed notwithstanding our objection on
the ground that they were organized as a
club. Sixteenth street extended passes
through the center of this race track, which
will, of course, make the track no longer
available. and will thus do away with the
purposes of driving association. Soon if
not already paid for, the title to this land
Will be in the United States and | would
suggest that the Commissioners exercise
their authority with regard to it, and give
due notice that the track must be aban-
doned, or that part of it crossing 10Th
street.
Il fear an effort will be made to con-
tinue the club house for the sale of liquor,
which l would ask the Commissioners to
prevent. because they can no longer have
just cause to claim that their establishment
Is used for driving association provided
their track becomes useless on account of
10th street passing through it."
