receding from the action taken with
regard to the boundaries for issuing
saloon licenses"
Messrs. Lucas and Long, however
refused to accept the motion or amend
ment. They claimed that they had
voted for the delimiting policy, with
the understanding expressed by them
at the time, that it was subject to re-
view with regard to individual appli-
cations on their merits as might be
apparent in their own discretion aided
by public opinion and the wishes Of
adjacent property owners.
Mr.. Ballentyne, while expressing
kindly sympathy for Mr.. Lambert, sid
ed with Mr. Gilman in the proposition.
substantially. that the board would
stultify itself by adopting a policy one
day and shooting holes through 1t the
next. He also expressed himself en-
phatically against paying any further
heed to applications from the bunch of
Kakaako saloon keepers outside the
adopted limits.
Iwilei would come mp later the chair
man said, and there was apparent
unanimity of the board in decreeing
that the saloon up against the church
there must go.
AS to the argument of blind pigs"
by which saloons at Iwilei until now
have been justified, Mr.. Ballentyne said
1t would be the boards duty to look
after blind pigs and ne thought the
argument for saloons on that score was
4 false alarm anyway.

NJ A. Gonsalves. wholesale liquor
healer, early in the session appeared
before the board and by invitation ad-
dressed 1t with regard to the saloons
At Pauoa and on Punchbowl near LuZo

lewals of licenses by the boundary
policy. He argued that the saloons

Is. before they came into being under |
he law of 1905, a man entertaining
riends of an evening would furnish
vine by the gallon, over which the
company would tarry to extremely |
ate hours, getting full and quarrelsome
o the disturbance Of the neighborhood.
Vow, the speaker claimed, the saloon
losing hours marked the end of alco-
lolic conviviality for the night and
veryone was better and>happier.
Mr.. Ballentyne put some pointed
uestions to the advocate. to ascertain
he really believed that the district
a question was benefited by saloons.
lis replies went no further than the
amiliar argument that saloons kept
ut blind pigs" and reduced the
mount of drinking in homes.
1t was evidently the sentiment of the
GARD that Punchbowl was strictly a
esidence district and should have no
iloons. Some strong objections of
ssidents to their continuance were in
let reported.
