SALOON LICENSE TEST

An interesting saloon license case,
involving the granting OF license
to W. II. Loper, at Bellgrove, is set
to be heard tomorrow before Judge
w W. Wood,
During the recent Legislature a
bill was past, which empowered the
county commissioners to refuse the
application for a saloon license. at
their discretion. Sometime ago w.
ii. Lopez petitioned fol a license at
Bellgrove which was refused.
While the commissioners have not
stated their reasons yet it is under
stood they are we'll established One
is that a school honse stands direct
ly across from the building, proposed
to be occupied by the saloon. II is
thought this would not be conductive
to high ideals and morals among the
students attending the school. An
other reason is, in the fact the Ium-
Der company, which as large camp
there, objects very strenuousIy to a
saloon so near its men who will drink
to excess and materially retard the
work.
Again it is held that the Bellgrove
district is not especially entitled to
saloon, any lhore than hundreds of
other places where the people get
along splen6idly without it.
Loper has appealed from the action
of the County Commissioners to the
district court. This is the fret
action of the kind under the new law
and will be watched with interest.

JOIN WITH
THE COUNTY
Is Suggestion Regarding the City
Building

Editor Press Being a taxpayer
in the city, | wish to express my
views regarding the proposed bond
issue, for the purpose of building a
city hall. We have all heard the
saying that "haste makes waste" and
the case if 100000 city, building
is built at the present time. We
have good reason to expect that the
bounty seat will be located here in
he near future. Would it not be wise
TO wait until then before building a
permanent city building, and then
join the county in building a combin-
ed courthouse and city hall, in good
location with ample ground surround
ing the building? To my mind there
would be great advantage to such
plan as by the combined resources
of the city and county. A building
and grounds could be had that would
be a credit to both the city and
county for many years to come. 1t
is we'll known that such is the plan
usually adopted in cities where the
county seat is located.
But in the meantime in order to
provide for the present urgent need
of city hall, central fire station and
jail. Also quarters for the public
library. | will suggest the follow
ing plan: That the city build a
building on its lot at the corner of
Sherman and Fifth streets, that would
answer for its present needs and so
blamed that it could be readily con-
erted Into a business building. The
pit and such a building could be
eadily sold when the time arrived
for building permanent city hall.
