Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-01-05

Mr.. Plechner said that he had only
heard of the filing of the remon-
STRANGE late and that he had had
time to see only three of its signers.
These three, he said, told him that
they had signed the remonstrancc be-
lieving that Schiller was TO be con-
nected with the place. When he ask
ed them if they would withdraw their
signatures from the remonstrance
they said, Mr.. Plechner averred, that
they would do so if the other signers
would.
Mr.. Plechner asked that the appli-
cation be laid w for a month. Com
missioner Schoonover said that the
application had been before the board
nearly a year. Mr.. Plechner said that
it had been before the board but four
months.
Wanted to Settle Matter.
Mr.. Schoonover gave it as his opin-
ion that the application should eth
er be withdrawn or balloted upon.
Mr.. Plechner inquired as to what
harm could come to the board by lay
ing the matter ver for a month. He
said that he believed that the boards
only reason for not wanting TO vote
for the place was that they felt that
the people of that locality do not de-
sire a saloon there. why then, he
said, will you not give us an oppor-
tunity to find out whether the peo-
pie Whereabouts object to having a
saloon there or simply to have a
place with which they believe Schil-
Ter would be connected?"
Mr.. Hoy said that the board had
practically made up their minds not
to vote for a license for the place un-
less they We're guaranteed that there
would be a change in the business.
Mr.. Plechner said that the remon-
STRANGE contained no reason why the
license should not be granted, and
that the mar should not lose $4,000
or $4,000 without reason.
Lawyer Plechner excused himself
for a minute to speak to n Of the
H. Fullerton, the only signer in the
audience.
Who CsakOvsky Is.
AS he did so, Commissioner Han
son arose and asked who Csakovsky
is. Mr.. Plechner caught the ques-
ton and replied that he had previous
ly stated that Mr.. Csakovsky has the
pleasure of being Mr.. Schiller's broth
er-in-law.
Mr.. Fullerton said that he would
be agreeable to whatever action the
board thought best.
A motion was made to take the ap-
plication up and ballot upon it.
Mr.. Plechner asked permission to
withdraw the application, and such
permission was granted.
BY so doing the application may
be presented again at any time. Had
it been voted upon and refused it
could not be re-introduced for a year.
The NEWS an Issue.
Commissioner Hanson resented the
criticisms and commentaries on the
board and some of its acts, which
have appeared in the EVENING
NEWS. He declared that the ed
itor of the NEWS must take the COM
missioners for schoolboys, and that
he had tried to obtain a satisfactory
interview with the editor and had
to see him.
WED like the public to know
these things" calculated President
Hoy.
