WILL BE OPPOSITION
TO THE NEW SALOON.

~ TIE VIEW SNISSIN'
The report that the new Phillips
building on Thornburgh street. in h
burned district, is to be occupied by a
saloon is giving the people Of that
block something to talk about, and it
is believed a healthy protest against
the granting of the license will go
both to the board Of county commits
sioners and the city council. The bust
ness men contend that the limits of
the saloon district should not be ex-
tended farther east on Thornburgh
street, and this sentiment is shared by
some of the saloon keepers themselves,
who assert that the owner of the build
ing should not permit the additional
saloon, being already, one of the sa-
loon men says, interested in two sa-
looms. There is opposition to a brew
cry engaging in the saloon business,
aside from the location Of the proposed
saloon. 1t is said that at least three
of the council nj the mayor have al
ready placed themselves on record,
one of the councilmen having signed
the protest.
