LICENSE QUESTION
IS RAISED AGAIN
West End of Berkeley Asks
That Sale of Original Pack
ages Be Permitted

BERKELEY, April ia delegation
of citizens of the west end. headed by
Charles Hadlen and Joseph Raspiller,
waited upon the board OF trustees last
night to reopen the liquor question
which has been lying dormant for many
months. The delegation asked that an
ordinance be passed permitting the sale
of liquors in original packages.
Hadlen, who acted as spokesman for
the party, said that the beer wagon of
the Oakland merchant was a common
sight on the hillside section OF Berke-
ley. and that the West Berkeley mer-
chant whose saloon had been closed
should be allowed the privilege ac-
corded the outside businessmen.
1t is said that at the secret session
or the board, when the liquormen Of
West Berkeley were heard they Of
fered 10 supporb the bonds for s295,000
which will be voted for park and incin-
orator If the trustees would pass an
ordinance allowing the sale of liquors
in original packages.
Many OF the citizens are not in favor
of the bonds and the trade" offered
by the liquormen is said to have been
received with such favor that the liquor
question will be brought up at another
meeting of the board Attorney Brew
ton A. Hayne has been engaged by the
liquor interests.
Mayor Francis Terrier said today
that there was much truth In the as
sertions of the people of the west end
that they we're Disseminated against In
favor of the Oakland merchants.
Il am told" said Mayor Terrier to-
day, that there are many thousands OF
dollars worth Of liquors sold in Berke-
ley by outside firms. On account Of
their delivery Of liquors they also sell
many thousands of dollars worth of
groceries. This Is clearly a discrimina-
ton against Berkeley merchants; but
do not see how 1t can be remedied."

on promising he would sell no. more

rolled the doctor, his parole to last
during good behavior. AS to whether
the doctor violated his agreement not
to sell intoxicating liquor we cannot
say, but it is a well known fact that
he violated his agreement to refrain
from becoming intoxicated.

citizens Of the town was sent Ito
