Moorhead Department
REX HOTEL WITHIN
PROHIBITED LINES
ATTORNEY GENERAL so RULES,
ALSO THAT CONTINUITY or
LICENSE FORMERLY ISSUED
FOR THAT PROPERTY TERM.
MATED LAST YEAR.

The Rex hotel and saloon, owned by
the Duluth Brewing Co, is within the
prohibited lines established by the
city charter, according to a ruling Of
the attorney general of Minneso-
ia, filed with the city clerk today
The decision means that the saloon
in the building named is illegal and
will have to be discontinued.
Also, the attorney general rules that
the continuity of the license for the
particular property. named was ter
minated last July when the city coun-
ell declined to issue a new license for
the year ending June 80, 1912.
A month or two age a protest was
made to the city council to the grant
ing of a license transfer which allow
ed the saloon in the Rex hotel, Second
street and First avenue north, to re-
open After some discussion the matter
with certified plats and a recital Of
the conditions under which the coun-
ell allowed the transfer were referred
to the attorney general. for his ,rul-
ing. A feature in the case was whether
the continuity of the license for the
property made had terminated or not.
The owners of the property contended
that it had not, but the attorney gem
eral rules it terminated last July.
AS far as the building is concerned
it is conceded to be within the pro-
hibited lines established by the city
charter, but the latter provides that
the provisions Of the charter did not
affect licenses in existence when the
law went into effect and it was on
that ground that a license was trans
ferred SO that the saloon could be
opened under a new management which
was perfectly satisfactory to the city
authorities. For some time prior to
last July the management of the Rex
hotel was in bad odor, hence the re-
fusal of a license. Two or three years
ago the building On the site of the
present Rex hotel was burned down.
but the Duluth Brewing Co., owners
of the property, to preserve the con-
tinuity of the license continued to
pay for it, Notwithstanding that it
was not used until a new building was
erected and ready for opening, a period
of nearly two years.
1t remains to be seen whether the
owners of the property will abide by
the opinion of the attorney general
or not, or whether an appeal will be
taken to the supreme court for final
adjudication. The opinion is a
strong indication what the supreme
court will do.
