aCROUI EXPLAINS REMARKS
ON SALOON QUESTION
Says Better Closing Hours and More
Latitude On Holidays Would
Benefit City.

! Police Commissioner Croul wants
to make clear his position regarding
his remarks before the liquor com
mittee at Lansing. ...
II do not want my motive for ask
ing the committee for more latitude
to be misunderstood, said Mr.. Croul,
Friday. II favor better closing hours
and permitting the saloons to be open
on minor holidays not so much for
the benefit of the saloonkeepers as
for the betterment of Detroit.
by so doing, the police depart
ment will have the cooperation OF
saloonkeepers who want to be law
abiding. Later closing hours would
meet with the approval Of downtown
saloon men, while those on the out
skirts would appreciate having the
lid removed on the lesser holidays"
