cause of location. During the day,
'fifty-three licenses were granted to
applicants to which no objections were

are not qualified voters. were held up,
pending the'evidence oc the City Treas
urer. Where objections are made to sa-
looms because of character or location,
the court set the hearings for Thurs

The anti-saloon petition contained
list of all the bars of the city with
the names of proprietors. and seventy
names were checked, the petitioners
claiming that they had not paid poll
taxes, and under the Byrd law were
barred from receiving licenses. They
asked the court not to grant these
licenses. nor to grant the licenses to
other parties where the proprietors
are disqualified, thus allowing the law
to be OF no effect Other saloons
were checked, the court being asked
to refuse licenses, as they are in res
dental sections. The petitioners also
asked the court not to grant licenses
for saloons on Water Street, east OF
Church Street. Bars close to churches
are opposed. The court is urged to re-
duce or eliminate bars from the red
light district on Avon. Cove, Wolf and
Washington Streets as detrimental and
unnecessary. The licenses OF the Man.
