That will be arranged soon. The commissioners are to allo wa few more wholesale houses and then the social clubs. They may also license some hotels at a future time.
 This statement was given out by Chairman W. c. Agee and heartily con- cured in by Commissioners Wilkinson and Sydenham Moore:
 Tn announcing the completion of the dist of retail saloons allowable under the law to Birmingham. we face the fact that a great many friends will be disappointed. We have scanned the list carefully and we regret that the law renders it impossible for us to allow, say 15 or 20 additional saloons here to the excellent men applying.
 we desire to impress upon those who applied and who did not secure permits that it was not reflection upon their personality or their stand ing. The chief reason as stated was the insufficient number to be chosen. Those men who applied were among the best men in this community engaged in the saloon business. We were forced to choose from among a vast number and we have endeavored to perform that duty justly as nearly as we knew how.
 We have before us now great many applications from men whom we believe would render satisfactory ser vice to this community in operating saloons It is our regret that the law makes it impossible to grant additions to the list.
 We will issue few additional per mits to wholesale houses, social clubs and hotels later. Just now we intend to get in touch with those men who are operating or who have been given licenses. They will be placed under a strict set of rules and regulat tions and we emphatically announce that they must live up to them to the letter or we will instantly revoke their licenses and give them to men who will up- hold this law
