Another bitter and prolonged fight
on the saloon question marked the
session OF the council Tuesday night
As was the case week previously,
the discussion was over the petitions
to allow John Zielinski, a cripple, TO
start a saloon at No. 1868 Dubois-st.
This was opposed because II is the

speech. He declared that a wave OF

Tossy assailed his colleagues with
accusations of Inconsistency. saying
that they campaign in saloon and try
10 square their official actions.
Aid. Korte and Watson declared that
the issue was a bigger one than that
OF Iielinsh's fortunes-the question
OF whether the number of saloons In
Detroit shall be checked and cut

that Zielinski Is being used by the
liquor interests 10 break down the re-
