! Judge Barham yesterday granted
! fifty-two licenses for the sale OF
liquor In Newport News during the
fiscal year beginning May /. The
police offered opposition To the grant
ing OF but one lIcense--that OF A. ii.
Swannie-but after hearing state
ment by Police officer Tiliman. who
has been stationed on the upper Hunt
ington avenue beat, Judge Barham
granted that license, so all OF the
nfty-two applicants received licenses.
Officer Tillman testified that the lie
partment regarded Swannie's saloon
es u nuisance on account OF the cna"-
atcer of people who hung around the
| Place.
Fifty.two OF the licenses were
granted In less than two hours, this
being record breaking time. The
rush began when court opened at III
clock ard before noon all OF the
licenses except that OF A. IL. Swannie
had been granted. Judge Barham held
up the one license until the afternoon
s. laal he could hear shat Oficer
Tillman had to say. All Oi Inc
saloon keepers furnished the required
bonds and paid for their licenses dur
ing the day.
Two Saloons Less.
Last year total of fifty-four
licenses were granted, but since that
time two saloons have gone out or
business. This means u reduction of
5000 in the city's revenues frcm the
saloon for the coming year, but $500
OF that sum Is made up by the In
crease OF 500 on each of the brew
cry agencies during business In this
city.
The cost OF the liquor licenses was
higher than last year. the State hay-
ing increased the license SlU6. The re-
: tail State license is $3.50, the city
license Is $425 and the United States
