From Wednesdays Daily,
For the first time in many weeks
all members of the city council were
present at the meeting Tuesday
night. The questions OF reyokins
restaurant licenses and adopting the
fire limit ordinance were scheduled
for final consideration, hence the
presence Of all councilmen.
The restaurant men were prepar-
ed to show ample cause why their
licenses should not be revoked
Attorneys L. A. Yeagor, Bryan Cor
dan, Vim Barrickman and K. K
Hundiey we're present, representing
respectively Joe Kaszer, the Deli
catessen, Conley and Falls and VIM,
Z. Gallagher. The first three had
an abundance oil reasons and era
tory to show why the licenses should
not be revoked Mr.. Hundley urged
the claims of Mr.. Gallagher for a
new license.
The council decided to postpone
action until next Monday night,
and went into executive session to
think and talk it over. During this
part Of the proceedings. DR.. S. S
Wade, councilman presented petit
tion, asking for reasons known to
the council that the drug store IL
censes OF VIM. b. Bowman and j. C.
McVicker, be revoked. This peti
tion is based on the same grounds
as the petition in the cases Of the
restaurants, and created quite a
little stur amvsg the members Of
council. 1t is believed by some that
similar petitions against the hotels
will be filed next Monday night.
