APPEALS TO SUPERVISORS
TO GRANT HIM LICENSE
Nick Stambook, Who Desires to Con-
duct Saloon at Neenach, APP
pears in His Own
Behalf

Nick Stambook. whose application
foa. a license to run a saloon at Neenach
has caused some discussion and a
great deal of dissension among mem
hers of the board of supervisors and
has caused protests to be made by the
advisory committee of the aqueduet
and the board of public works, was be-
fore the supervisors yesterday to fur
Their his request. He laid especial stress
on the fact that Neenach is more than
two miles distant from the line Of the
aoueduct, too far he believed, even for
a man with a phenomenal thirst TO walk
for the purpose Of satisfying 1t.
Supervisor Alexander wanted to know
on whom Stambook would depend for
custom. "About thirty miners pass my
pIace each week." said Stambook, land
besides. I expect to handle other things
than liquor"
Alexander wanted the application de-
MED forthwith. Perry Howard, who
has a contract to do work in that Vi
cinity and is in position to know
whereof he speaks, objects to the grant
ing of this license" said the supervisor,
.sIIe tells me that every dollar spent by
his men with Stambook would mean
500 expense to himself"
The other members of the board
showed no disposition to act on Alex
ander's suggestion, and the matter was
again taken under advisement.
