BILLS OF SALE
ARE SCRUTINIzEO
Committee Finds Some Dated
Later Than the AppIiCa-
tons for Licenses.
IS OBJECTED TO
SAID TO BE ATTEMPT TO EVADE
SPIRIT OF ORDINANCE.

The city council license committee
was in session for several hours on
Saturday in the council chamber in the
| city and county building. Practically
/ every one of the twenty-four liquor
licenses over which the dispute oc-
CURED in the council last week has
been held up by the committee on one
pretext or another.
J. J. Stewart, chairman, and T. r.
Black, a member, constituted the COM
mittee, the city recorder and city at
torney being present to assist. This is
the first meeting Of the license COM
mittee in many months which J. B.
Moreton, city recorder, who is ex-OffiCiO
clerk of all committees, has attended.
He was not present last week when if
was decided to wipe out the twenty
four saloon men, but won his point at
the city council. when it was decided
that everything was Illegal because the
applications had not gone through his
hands. Hereafter he will receive the
applications when first made. sam ].
Goldman, deputy license collector, whom
MOretOn has forced to take a back seat,
was not present.
No formal action was taken on any
Of the applications, but another meet
ing will be held before Tuesday, when
the council meets to draw up a report.
Bills of Sale Questioned.
The committee found particular fault
with saloons which held bills of sale
from the Salt Lake Brewing company,
Of which ten were considered from the
following applicants: ". Frank Con-
rad, 176 South Sixth West street; i. II.
GOulet, 379 South State street; Paglin-
so & CerrO, 142 West South Temple
street; Nick TedescO, 1853 West Second
South street; John Seran. 102 South
West Temple street; Z. X. Latuheppe,
1888 South State street; John A. Peters,
20 Commercial street; Walker & Bian-
co, Az West Second South street;
Bianc0 & Curran, p Commercial street;
Charles G. Sindar, 40 West First South
street.
The chief objection taken to these is
a clause in the bills Of sale which men,
bers of the committee say shows an in
tent to evade the spirit of the Ordi-
nance. The offending clause reads:
TT is hereby especially understood
and agreed between both parties
hereto that as part Of consideration Of
the purchase price Of the above de-
scribed goods and chattels that said
-- shall, and do Cor dOes) hereby
agree to sell Salt Lake Brewing COmpa-
ny's dTaught and bottle beer exclusive
ly, except not more than two brands Of
eastern bottle beer"
Other irregularities bounced upon by
Mr.. Stewart were in connection with
the dates of the bills Of sale, some Of
which are dated on the same date as
the application for license, and others
day of two before the application
was sworn to. It is Mr.. Stewards con-
tpUfFpT7 fbof those who did NOT racafx-a
the bill of sale until after they made
application for license are guilty of
perjury. These saloon men contend
that they had legally made the pur-
chase and paid over the money before
applying, and the application was
made and sworn to in good faith. In
some cases they claim that the papers
were not ready when they applied for
license.
Applications Preeede Sales.
Among those bearing the same date
were those of W. Frank Conrad and
Paglinso & CerrO. L. II. GOulet pre-
sented a bill of sale dated June 10
while his application was made June
IS. Nick Tedesco's dates were, for the
bile of sale June 10, and he sWOre to
the application June II. Tedesco said,
when asked by the committee about it
Seran applied for license June 10, but
his bill of sale it dated June p, and he
is also in bad with the committee.
T. X. Latulicpp e's application for
license is dated June 10, and his bill of
sale one day before. John A Peters
application was dated July 2S which is
obviously a mistake. and his bill of sale
June q. Walker & Bianco applied for
license June q, and exhibit a bill of
sale dated June 10. BianCo & Curran
applied for license June p, and their
bill of sale is dated two days before
Charles G. Sindar applied June p. and
has a bill Of sale dated June %. All of
these went over, but an attempt to
throw them out as still under the bill
of sale belonging to the Salt Lake
Brewing company will be made.
Two From Wagner Company.
Only two bills of sale we're presented
from the Wagner Brewing company.
those of Nick ButkOvich. at 121 South
Third West street. and RazzutO &
Ruga, 149 South West Temple sereet.

the bills of sale of their premises pre-
scented to the committee bear the same
date.
