Bianco & Curran's application for a
retail liquor license at 2l7 West Second |
South street went back To the license |
committee for further investigation in |
face OF the forty-fve protests, although
only two OF the protests, representing n |
frontage of something like l2o feet, come |
from property owners. Chairman More
ton. of the license committee, explained |
that Bianco d Curran have been In the |
liquor business here for several years: |
and that through force Of circumstances |
they were forced out OF the Armstrong !
property at the expiration OF their lease |
there, and that they have been unable |
since then to secure a location sattsfac |
tory both to themselves and the adJoin
Ing property owners.
Mr.. Moretpn also pointed out In an i'm |
partial way that only two OF the protests |
against the license for PIT West Second |
South street come from adjoining prop |
erty owners. whereas the city ordinances |
require that protests. to be effective. must |
be made by a majority of the adjoining |
property owners.
Messrs. Lyme. Mulvey and O'Donnell |
expressed themselves as being in favor of
giving Bianco & Curran. inasmuch as
they are an old and respected firm, Il IL
Il license at 217 West Second South street
In the face OF the large number of pro-
tests. and upon Mr. Mulvey's request the |
matter went back TO the committee.
The license committees recommended

a liquor license at 212 West Second South
street be denied. was concurred in
The bill for s720.25 purporting to he
In favor Of Arthur +. Moreton. son of
Councilman Moreton. for making out and |
delivering i6.947 water tax notices went |
back to the city treasurer to make out I
correct payroll. 1t was shown that |
the city treasurer's office inadvertently
had made out a blanket bill in young |
Moreton's name for himself and seven |
teen other persons employed In the |
treasurers office for making out and de-
livering water notices. and that young
Moreton had put in claim for only
$606e and knew nothing OF the bill for
s72o.25 being made out in his name.
Hero Is part of the committc re-
port on the matter:
I'VE find that the presentation OF the
entire bill In the name Of Mr.. Moreton
is unfair to him for the reason that there
were seventeen persons employed In COM
mon with him by the city treasurer TO
do this work OF the s72o25. only 500 6?

and warrants to each OF the seventeen |
men employed.
