hermit. Mr.. Lowenstein states that he
owns the fixtures, stock and lease and
that he is paying for the permit this
permit was held by the Maier brewery
for one year at Sixth and Broadway
without being used). Since the COM
mence ment of this investigation II. p.
Roberts on December %, 1909, saw Mr..
Lowenstein, and under threat that the
license would be taken from the place
induced Mr.. Lowenstein to give L. 2.
Roberts a half interest in his business,
paying for same with the permit held
by the same 7. p. Roberts, or in other
words, Mr.. Lowenstein's note for $4,000
Is Cancelled. Your committee believes
that this partnership is a subterfuge
designed to defeat the object of this in
vestigation, also that this S. Lowen-
stein in the chiefs report of last June
refused any information, and therefore
recommends that I. P. Roberts be
cited before your honorable body to
show cause why this permit should not
be revoked.
The permit for the saloon at 421 South
Main street, known as the Phoenix
bar, is held by one Arthur Pitcher, a
barber, who has no financial interest
in the place and who holds this permit
as a dummy for the Maier brewery.
Cannon, and all proceeds are deposited
in the Farmers and Merchants bank in
the name of T. =. Roberts.
] understand that the permit for this
place was valued by the wholesalers
board of trade at $4,000, and held as
an asset in the bankruptcy proceed
ings about year ago. This, however,
have not had time to verify Since
this investigation Mr.. Pitcher has been
u 6f I,,,
and possibly has assumed a tempo
rary partnership. Your committee
would recommend that Mr. Pitcher be
cited to show cause why this permit
should not be revoked.
Held by Roberts
The saloon known as the Exchange
bar, at ia East First street, is owned
by Pecotto & Damareis. This permit
is held by one I. p. Roberts, the stock
and fixtures are owned by Pecotto &
Damareis, and the lease is held by the
Maier Brewing company. Mr.. Roberts
endeavored to have these people give
him a half interest in this saloon in
exchange for the permit. 1t appears
to me that this commission is not in
the business of making T. P. Roberts
a partner in half of the saloons in Los
Angeles at no cost to himself, and your
COHllnllIee recommends bndJ L. K.
Roberts be cited to show cause why
this permit should not be revoked
Your committee also visited the sa-
loon owned by Joe Wood at Seventh
street and Maple avenue. The license
for this place is owned by one II.
Topper, the stock and fixtures by
Wood, and the property is leased by
William Garland to the Maier Brew
cry company, who in turn lease it to
Wood, with an additional charge of
$50 a month for the permit, this being
so understood and agreed on by Wood.
Your committee recommends that H.
Topper be cited to show cause why
this permit should not be revoked.
The saloon at the southwest corner
of Fourth and San Pedro streets is
owned by d. Schafer. Mr. Schafer
states that he has bought this place,
but that the brewery holds the permit
in the name of f. Rademacher, an
employe of the Maier brewery, until
such time as his Indebtedness of $10,-
900 is paid off. / understand that about
! half of it has been paid Your com
mittee would recommend that r.
Rademacher be cited to show cause
why his permit should not be revoked.
