II am glad all the members of this
council arc not tied up" said h1r.
Heritage. II think this is wrong,
but at that this man may as well be-
licensed as allowed to sell liquor as
at present"
The matter passed without further
debate.
Alderman Heritage did not attempt
to disguise his disappointment at the
action of the council after the meet
ing. "The council entered into fair
and square agreement little more
than six months ago that the first
man caught violating the state law re-
garding II o'clock and Sunday closing
should have his license revoked. Sulli-
van was arrested and convicted. The
granting of license to A. J. Sullivan,
his son, is in effect renewal of his
license and my impression is that in
spirit and intent it amounts to coun-
tenancing evasion of the state law"
said Mr.. Heritage.
Other members of the council de-
clared that Sullivan had not had fair
deal. 1t was declared he had been
made the goat of personal campaign
at the time his license was revoked
and that if any benefit came to him
from license being granted in his
sons name it was but a step to right
a wrong that had been done.
Patrick Sullivan is a pioneer resi-
dent of Virginia and has held a saloon
license continuously for a good many
years.
