AGAINST kILEY
The "Favorite" the Favorite
Target for the
Knockers.

The application Of Fred NJ. Kiley
for a restaurant license, with the spe-
cial privileges of selling after hours
and on Sunday, at the Favorite saloon
and Grotto on Bethel and Hotel streets,
occupied most of the time of the pub
lie hearing before the Board of License

Smith. There were a number of pro-
tests against the granting of the Ii
cense. j. Oswald Lutted IS protest was
as follows:
~ am holder of real estate doing
business across the street from the
Favorite Saloon and Grotto, Fred NJ
kiley, proprietor, situated at the cor
ner of Bethel and Hotel streets.
81 respectfully protest against the
issuance of license to Fred NJ. Kiley
at that place
- consider that my business is Sc
riously injured by the manner in which
that place is run. The noise of drunken
men and women proceeding from that
establishment, often continuing all
night, and often accompanied with
blasphemous and obscene language, is
very offensive -
c. ]. Day, f. w. Damon and G. ].
Waller, holders of real estate within
two hundred and fifty feet of the
premises on which Ki1ey petitions for
a license to sell intoxicating liquors, at
the corner of Bethel and Hotel streets,
filed protest against the granting
of a license to Kiley.
Lyle A. Dickey filed protest against |
the issuance of license to Kiley and |
offered to appear at any time desired !
by the Board or the applicant and sup
port his protest by the evidence he |
could produce. He stated in his pro-
test that Kileyis not a fit person to hold |
a license in that his manner of rum
ming the saloon and cafe during the |
past year has been such as to make /
the place a resort for reckless, dis
orderly persons; that he has had women
patrons as late as midnight and has
not conducted the place as one having
women patrons should have conducted
it, but has permitted drunken persons
on the premises; that he has his prem
ises and entrances so arranged as to
give opportunity for abuse. He has
thirteen entrances to the premises. OF
these 1--we are from the rear to private
rooms on one side of the cafe, and a
private road runs from Hotel street
to Bethel street giving access to these
premises from the rear, and these
private rooms have close board parti-
rions and doors completely hiding per
sons In them from scrutiny from others
N the cafe when the doors are closed,
that women have come from the rear
nto these rooms about midnight and
women have come out showing the in
1uence of liquor. Mr.. Dickey petitions
hat if the license be granted it be /;
only upon condition that all private ]
'ooms be done away with and all back
entrances permanently closed up.
