LIMIT SALOONS,
SAYS DININNY
No Question That Commission
Has Authority, Is View
Of City Attorney.

II. j. Dininny, city attorney, yester-
day told the city commissioners that they
have the power TO enact an ordinance
city, irrespective OF the action of the dis
trjct court in granting liquor license.
Mr.. Dlninny rendered his decision oral
ly to the commissioners at the regular
meeting when asked for an opinion rs
to the citys right 10 transfer a saloon
license from 325 South State street di-
reCtly across the street to 326. against
which numerous property owners In the
district have protested
There Is no question:" Mr., Dinlnny
said, that this commission has the
power to fix the number OF saloons In
the city Ii that were done IL would
sottle the matter of regulation and con-
troll. Even the district court would not
grant licenses in excess Of the limit fixed
by the ordinance and all questions as TO
the power of the city 10 control the liquor
business and regulate IL would be set
tied
AS TO the case at Issue. however. Mr..
Dininny did not think the city had the
right to transfer the license. inasmuch
as the license was granted not only to a
person, but TO "A place Of business. To
transfer the license IL would be neces-
sary for the holder of IL TO apply TO the
district court for new license at 326
South State street and surrender his old
one,
The protests made against the trans
fer were returned by the chief Of police,
to whom they had been referred with the
recommendation that the application for
body has as yet asked FOR the transfer,
the commission ordered all papers per-
tanning to the matter filed Tor future
consideration. II Is understood that J. s.
Gordon holder OF the license at 325
South State. Will apply for the transfer
within the next few davS.

POLICEMEN GIVEN
INCREASE IN PAY
Fifty-four Members of De-
partnlent Get a $40 Ad-
vance in Salary.
ARGUMENTS HEATED
korns and Lawrence Contend
That Other Salaries Also
Should Be Raised.

In compliance with an ordinance
passed year ago, creating three grades
In the patrol force of the police depart
ment, fifty-four members of the depart
mept were promoted by the city COM
mission yesterday. Salary increases Of
$40 month were given in each case.
The total increase adds $64S0 to the an
nual pay roll of the department.
Two members of the commission, w.
H. Korns and Henry w. Lawrence,
fought the increase openly. Korns de-
clared it was not right to raise the
salaries of the policemen without grant
ing similar increases to employees in
other departments. Mr.. Lawrence, while
admitting that under the ordinance
passed a year ago, the increase might
be made, strenuously opposed the action
and demanded that If increases in
salary were to be given, that some uni
form system extending to all depart
ments OF the city government be
adopted. However, since the ordinance
existed, Mr.. Lawrence agreed to east
his vote in favor of the increase. Com
missioner Korns cast the only dissent
