for Some Time, Announces
Police Commission

There will be no new saloon licenses
issued in San Francisco for some time
to come, according to an edict issued
session last night The announcement
was made at the opening of the meet
ing, and several applications which
would have been filed were Withdrawn.
I'VE will consider no new applica-
tions for. saloon licenses after this
evenings session. said President
OConnell. Applications for changes
in ownership and for permission to
move to other locations will be con-
sidered, but the clerks will be given
instructions to receive no new applica-
tions.'
O'Connell explained the action of the
board later. saying that there were al
ready a sufficient number of saloons,
as is indicated by the large number of
saloonmen who have failed to secure
renewals of their permits or who have
failed in business. Until the board is
convinced that there is absolute need
for more saloons the order will remain
in effect The new rule practically
went into effect during the meeting
of the board when several applications
for permission to file new applications,
in cases where license had already
been denied. were refused.
For about the tenth time the resi-
dents in the vicinity of Cortland avenue
and Gates street appeared before the
commission to protest against the
granting of a saloon license in that
locality. The applicant was Frank
Prieur. The application was taken
under advisement. Rowley & Keller,
Cortland and Bennington avenues, who
had filed similar application, also
were told to return next Monday even
ing. Permission was granted to Eman-
uel Silva to remove his saloon from
1929 Cortland avenue to 500 in the
same street.

and Lombard streets, to open a saloon,
