MANY APPLICANTS
ARE TURNED DOWN
Liquor Committee Frowns on Efforts
To Establish New Saloons-Limit
Nearly Reached.

Applications for liquor licenses
from mer not now engaged In the
saloon business were turned down by
the wholesale by the council commit
tee on liquor regulation, Monday AZ.
ternoon. The policy was not 10 grant
a license for new saloon unless the
applicant was buying out a saloon
keeper already in business. During
the afternoon, the committee approx
ed 10 more applications, making a
total OF l,494 approved thus far, ard
reducing the number that can still
be issued to "a.
One OF the applications denied wGs
that OF Otto and August Huck, who
have been granted a license for one
saloon at No 65 Michigan-ave., and
wanted TO start another In the base
ment OF the Equity building, Nos. 6S-
20 Griswold-st. K. W. Weight. owner
OF the building. urged favorable ac-
ton on the new application, notwith-
standing vigorous protests from
tenants OF the building, including the
Detroit United Railway, which has
ats interurban station here. Mr..
Voigt insisted that he had as much
right TO lease his building for saloon
purposes as anybody else in the down
town district. He declared that many
large hotels are running three or four
saloons on one license. The ID. u. r.,
in its written protest. represented
that saloon in this building would
prove an annoyance TO the women
and children who wait there for cars.
The committee evidently took the
same view, for the application was
unanimously turned down. Mr.. Voigt
declared that some of the tenants Uf
the building who had opposed the at
plication would be asked TO vacate.
The committee took up several con-
tests over locations and settled them
in the way the evidence seemed 20
indicate was the most equitable.
