NORTH FIRST STREET
PLACES TRANSFERRED
crinklaw Saloon Goes to North First

Place to Friedman Building on South
Second Avenue-May Street Saloon
Included in List.

At a special meeting of the city coun-
ell, called by the mayor Saturday night
upon the request of Councilmen Clark,
Herman. and Good, the council con-
scented to the transfer of three saloon
permits. Some of the saloonists of the
city declare the move foolish one and
the mayor himself says he thinks the
action unwise
The saloons affected in the transfer
are the two North First street places.
one operated in the name of S. Bern
stein. and the other under the name of
". E. Crinklaw. and the third is the
wenger place on May street.
Charles Delahoyde is the assignee OF
W. z. Crinklaw, and the permit is is
sued for the McCombs building at 1921
North First avenue. Delahoyde has
been employed as a bartender in the
Des Moines Malt Company's saloon at
Third avenue and Nevada street.
The Bernstein permit is assigned to
]. NJ. Friedman. for the building owned
by Friedman at the end OF South Sec
ond avenue. near the Northwestern
depot Fritz Wenger. father OF Sam
Wenger, is the latter's assignee Tor the
May street place.
II The Vote 70 transfer the permits
Gregory was the only member who was
recorded against the consent.
Could Be Vetoed, Says Mayor.
4 few years ago. when consent was
asked to put a saloon in the Friedman
building, the mayor declared himself in
open council as being against the use
OF the Friedman building for a saloon
again. Louis Bernstein operated a sa-
loon there several years ago. and later
his brother, sam Bernstein. Friedman's
son-in-law, was in charge Of the place.
The saloon was afterwards closed be-
cause it failed 10 pay
In declaring himself against reopen
ing the mayor then called attention TO
the fact that the saloon is directly next
to the Northwestern water tank, where
loafers congregate. and where the
street is poorly lighted. He also said
that it was a hard place for the police
to watch. AT this time the saloon would
/ have increased the number, and This
was also given as reason for turning
down the petition
When asked about the change o,
sentiment as concerns this place Mayor
/ Ingledue said he did not remember
ever opposing the place for a saloon ex-
cepting on the ground of increasing the
number. AS this action did not increase
the number he was not opposing it, al
tho he did say that he thought the ac-
ton unwise
The mayor added that he thought the
council might be inclined to take a
i different attitude in the saloon ques-
ton if there was a disposition shown
on the part of the opposition to drop
4 the fight, The opposition is now try
ing to force the minority rule and the
council is not in favor of such tactics
If the idea is TO cut down the number
and raise the license this disposition
should be shown. and I believe tbs
I! council would be glad 10 agree 10 &
compromise. AS it is the majority %:
the people Of this town want saloons
but the opposition is not satisfied VIII
closing a part of them, but wants L
close all / think that if il were naadt
/ plain that the object Of this fight is Il
reduce the number these resolutions o
Saturday night would be reconsideret
at the next regular meeting Then
| would have another week in which t,
veto them.
