TO RUN PLACES
MINUS CONSENT?
Four Applications for Saloons
Filed at the Office of the
City Clerk.
UP TO MAYOR TO DECIDE
Latter States He Is Investigating and
Has Not Yet Made Up His
Mind.

Applicants for four additional sa-
looms in the city have thus for disre-
garded the ordinance requiring the
consent of the owners of property for
800 feet in each direction on both
sides of the thoroughfare on which it
is proposed to establish retail estab-
| lishments.
The places which are planning to
begin business are: Edward Thier-
man, First avenue between Nineteenth
and Twentieth streets; American
house on Market square, the applicant
being a farmer from Iowa; Matthew
Rentfrow, Second avenue between
Nineteenth and Twentieth streets; H.
Riege1 & Co., east storeroom Of the
Industrial Home building on Third av-
enue between Twenty-f1rst and TWEEN
ty-second streets. RiegeI & Co, it
should be stated, intend to operate a
wholesale and retail business.
Mayor Investigating.
Licenses have not been issued for
any Of these locations. Mayor G. w.
McCaskrin stated today that he had
not investigated far enough to deter
mine what is to be done.
1.-THE fact should not be lost sight
Of" the mayor said, that compare
lively few of the saloons at present
doing business in Rock Island observ-
ed the rule laid down in the consent
ordinance. Some properties are use
full only for saloon purposes, it should
be remembered, and this is condition
that ought to be taken into considera-
ton in passing upon applications for
licenses. The mayor has the authority
to issue license, if in his Judgment
things are as they should be- l have
not made up my mind what 1 will do
with reference to the applications for
the four places mentioned"
Protests Are Effective.
There has been no further move
made in behalf of the application of
w. M. Barbour filed last week for a
saloon at 300 Ninth street. Property
owners in that neighborhood have
filed with the mayor a petition of pro-
test, and It Is supposed that no IL
cense is to be issued, at was the case
at Eighteenth street and Fourth ave
nue. When two petitions of protest
were entered against the establishment
of a saloon at that corner the matter
was dropped.
Three Dens Closed by SchafTer.
1t will be recalled that Mayor H. c.
Schaffer revoked licenses of two sa-
looms on the east side of Seventeenth
street, between Third and Fourth ave-
nues-the Owl and the Quail-for the
same reason that he ordered the clos
ing of the one at Eighteenth street
