Residents on Military Avenue
Protest Against Fresh

MANY TRANSFERS SOUGHT
Saloonkeepers Grow Bold and
Try to Break Into Territory
Where They're Not Wanted

Since the council granted licenses
TO rearly 1900 salonokeepers, April
i. scores of applications have been
filed with the council 10 permit saloon
keepers 10 remove 70 other locations.
The committee on liquor regulation
has been kept busy in every meeting
since then hearing protests against
removals.
The only way can account for 1t
is that the saloonkeepers were afraid
that II they applied for the locations
they really wanted they might be re-
fused licenses" said Chairman Ellis,
of the committee on liquor regulation.
Nov that they have their licenses
they are trying to take another step
and move into locations where the
residents do not want them.
A typical instance of this was pre-
sented to the committee, Tuesday
mornilg. when residents in the
vicinity OF No. 1928 Military-ave., APP
peared to protest against the grant
ing of a permit 10 Theodore Jablinsky
to move to that number from No. 1880
MichigaIi-aye The residents are
wrought up over the efforts of Jab-
liusky 20 move among them and they
employed Attorney Ha-"y j. Lippman
Ito represent them before The commit.
tee
There are 4S saloons within a
radius Of five blocks of this proposed
location said Attorne" Lippman to
The Times. The location was for
merly held by Andrew Budz;ak. who
was denied license last year as an
undesirable saloonkeeper There are
things which would seem to indicate
that Budziak has some interest in the
effort now being made to permit Jab-
Ilirsky 10 move TO that location"
Police Capt Linsday was present
TO info:ln the committee of the facts
in the case but the committee did
not even give the protestants the
