LICENSE COMMITTEE
SITTING APPLICATIONS
Irregularities Found That JUS
tify Recent Action Oh Ger
tain Saloons.

The license committee Of tho city
council has commenced a thorough sift
ing Of the twentyfour application fol-
liquor licenses-the twenty-fonr about
which there has been a controversy
and has discovered several IRREGULAR
ties that justified the action OF the
council Wednesday night.
This investigation viii continue until
each case has been inquired into. and
IL is not likely that report VIII be
made until some time next week.
The sentiment OF the committee is
to permit technical errors to be cor.
rected wherein there is no violation OF
the spirit of the ordinance. But where
proper explanation is not made, the
applications will not be granted.
1t appears that while most of the
bills of sale were made but recently,
and that there was transfer of title
in most instances from certain brewing
companies to the applicant, that these
transfers viii in fact meet tho re-
quirement of the ordinance.

Gliding along Main street while
dressed in barrel, with his face paint
ed up in true Fiji style. John William
Clifton was arrested by Patrolman
Pitts and taken to the police station
Saturday afternoon.
In tho station Clifton waxed eloquent

leave the city, only to be rearrested a
few moments later for refusing to pay

MR.. MARTINS
EXPLANATION

Councilman l.. d. Martin de-
sires TO explain that his attitude
in opposing the withholding of
licenses of twcptyfour appll-
cants at the council meeting
held last "Wednesday was not
because he was in any sense in
sympathy with the alleged at
tempt to Ignore the provisions
of section . Of the ordinance,
but. he SAYS, he was under the
impression that the license com
mittee intended to put the
twenty-four applicants out of
business without n hearing
He says he believes in a fair
construction of the ordinance IN
all particulars. but that persons
who have engaged in the busi-
ness in the past, as had the
twcnty-four restricted ones,
should not be deprived of a Ii
cense without full hearing
before the committee and full
opportunity afforded them TO
show that they are in fact bona.
fidc owners of the fixtures and
therefore entitled to an eXten-
sion OF their licenses.
He claims that his attitude
was based wholly upon tins fen
ture and that what appeared to
others TO he change of heart
from the understanding believed
10 be had at meeting of the
license committee the afternoon
the council met, was due wholly
to his purpose TO safeguard the
ID &c nf hn 1Isn
well rs the interests of the city.
AS TO the displaying of the
500 bill before and after the
council meeting, Councilman
Martin repeats that he secured
this money for services per
formed in drawing the plans for
the Citizens Investment com
pany and that he had this
money prior to the meeting of
the license committee, and, he
declares, that any impression
which the public may have that
he came into possession of this
500 bill in an illegal or dis
crcditable manner is groundless.
Councilman Martin says, in
discussing his motion TO recon
slider the vote of the commit
tee last Wednesday evening,
that he now understands that
the license committee is thor
oughly sitting the twenty-four
applications and he says that If
il is found that these did not
comply with the spirit of the
ordinance that he will promptly
support the committee IN deny
ing licenses to the dcrcllct APP
plicants.

PUBLIC PLAYGROUND
FOR ZION CHILDREN
Proposition Is Being Advocated
by Attorney Frank B.
Stephens.

A public playground for children
is advocated by Frank B, Stephens
in n communication filed with the city
recorder Saturday for the city council.
Mr., Stephens suggests in his COM
municaton that q tract of land in
block 80, plat f, north and south of
Bueno avenue, owned by the city, be
set apart for a children's playground
The tract is in two sections, one plot
being eight by thirty rods in area and
the other four by ten rods. The former
fronts on Second South street and the
latter on First South.
The land. Mr.. Stephens argues, is
not valuable for other purposes, but
could easily be made attractive for a
children s playground. This movement,
Mr. Stephens also points out, is in
creasing all over the United States, the
desire being to keep the children off
the streets and give them innocent
recreation as much as possible,
Mr.. Stephens asks that the communi-
cation be referred to the proper com
mittee, before which he will then ap
pear and amplify his views upon the
subject. 1T likely will go to the public
grounds committee.

FEARFUL DIN AND NOISE
HEARD SATURDAY NIGHT

Regardless Of the request Of Mayor
Bransford for a quiet Fourth, which
appeared in all of tho morning papers
Saturday, Salt Lake City went noise
mad at an early hour Saturday night.
Throughout the city the lovers of dis.
cord and uproar threw their savings into
the making of smoke and noise,
The street car tracks along Main
street became the mecca of the torpedo
fend who stood at the curbing and
chortled in unholy glce as the cars
passed along, making the night hideous
with the staccato-like explosions. Ev-
crywhere the small boy was seen in his
glory tossing burning crackers into the
ar, forgetful of the danger to the pas
serby.
Those Of more daring spirit dis
charged blank cartridges into the air
and waved smoking guns around their
heads in the true western style. Some
few casualties were reported TO the po-
lice.
