TIME ALLOWED FOR PROTEST
Over Two Weeks Will be Allowed in
Which to Investigate Records Of All
Applicants and for Publication of
Lists

A formal notice prepared by the
city clerk and signed by the mayor
was delivered by the police to all of
the saloon men in the city this morn
ing calling attention to the new laws
governing the issue of saloon licenses
and fixing June IL as the last day on
which applications may be placed on
file with the city clerk if the license
issued is to take effect with the begin
ming of the license year July l. This
notice was sent out in order that there
may be no misunderstanding Of the law
on the part of the saloon men and to
give any one who may desire to enter
a protest against the issue of any Ii
cense on the list plenty of time in
which to prepare his papers for pres
entation to the council. The law re-
quires that full list of all applicants
be published three times before the APP
pications are passed on by the coun-
Gil and these publications will be made
between June II and The date Of the
regular meeting of the council June 20.
1T is not expected that any action on
the licenses will be taken at the meet
ing of June 20 and the granting of the
licenses will be LAID over to an adjourn
ed regular meeting on June 27 in order
that the committee on license may have
time to make any Investigations that
may deem necessary into the record
of any applicant whose right to Ii
cense may be questions. 1t is de-
clared by members of the council that
no attempt will be made to rush the
licenses through that body, but that
every opportunity will be afforded any
citizen to protest against the grant
ing of any license and that every com
plant received will be investigated
and given the fullest consideration by
the council. The notice sent out by
the city clerk reads as follows:
