UNIQUE POINT RAISED.
License May Extend to Thcatcr Near
Bar In Hotel.

An interesting question has
developed the city license de-
partment Max Florence, in a
petition for a license for a theater
on State street. near the Knutsford,
asks for something that has been con-
strued as unlawful as there Is a
saloon within SO feet of the building
IN which 1t Is proposed to conduct
theatrical performances. Tho mat
ter was referred to Assistant city
Attorney p. j. DAILY, who has submit
ted the following opinion for the
construction of the city council:
tine question at issue Is whether
hotel selling liquor may be granted a
theater, and may theaters be grant
cd a license II located within SO feet
of a hotef.t Section 1,245 of tho Re-
lVised Statues of Utah says:
No license shall be granted any
establishment, except q hotel located
within 500 feet of any public school
building being used for that purpose,
or within so feet OF any. theater,
variety theater, concert hall, or any
like place Of amusement.
- AS Will be noted the expressed in
tent OF the legislature was TO except
hotel from the prohibition. Hence
there can be no legal objection TO
granting a license to hotel located
within 80 feet OF a theater, and by
necessary implication the converse OF
that rule applies, namely, that a thea
ter may be licensed If situated within
80 feet of Il hotcl.''
Mr.. DAILY, however. concurs in an
opinion upon the same subject rem
dered by Judge Ogden Hiles. then
city attorney, in November of 1907,
in which Judge Hiles said that no
theater ought to be licensed while the
license of Il saloon 90 feet away. or
less, remains in force.
