Agreed Case
to Test License
Peter johnson is Given Permit to
Sell Liquor Until January
/, 1911.

The Fire and Police board wednesday
afternoon granted q liquor license TO Peter
johnson. PAS North Twenty-fourth street
This is to be used as a test case and viii
be a. once appealed to the district court
on a statement Of facts agreed 70 by the
attorneys.
John p. Breen, as attorney for several
liquor dealers. has filed q motion that At
tornsy Holmes, for the Anu-ssloon league
make more specific The general allegation
as 10 violation Of the Slocumb law by all
saloon keepers.
The contest which win be conducted as
a test case was started at the meet
ing Of the board last night, when
arguments were heard by the board
regarding the authority Of the body
in granting licenses to extend for q period
OF time after the end Of the municipal year.
which is on May Is. AS a test case, the
application Of Peter johnson for a license
to dispense liquors at his place at 2425
North Twenty-fourth street. was discussed.
Attorney L D. Holmes, representing the
temperance element, and Attorney J. P.
Breen, represented the applicant.
Mr.. Holmes argued that the board did
not have authority to grant a license TO
extend for a longer period than May g
the emu u ht municipal year NlNAuB q
judgment in district court at Lincoln. In
making his argument the attorney asserted
that the court in rendering a decision, de-
cided hat the Excise board did not ave
authority to grant a license TO extend after
that period because that was the end Of
their official year and they could not make
concessions to extend after their term eX-
pired over to the term Of another board.
for the reason the new board might not
approve the concessions. He withdrew all
other lection TO the application.
Attorney Breen argued thai inasmuch as
the term Of office Of the present board does
not expire until in May Of 1911, the present
board has authority to grant q license to
begin at any time and to expire at any
time within one year. Both attorneys mads
brief arguments, as 1t Is understood that
the decision Of the board will be demurred
10 and that the case will be appealed TO
the district court.
Practically all other objections TO ths
granting Of the applications viii be with
drawn and this objection is contained in
every remonstrance that has been filed.
The one application was acted on last night
only to start a test case.
Ninety-four remonstrances were filed
with the members Of the board before the
meeting was called to order last night,
but were not considered. This makes a
total Of I6 circumstances, and It is re-
ported that objections will be filed against
every applicant
