Liquor Permit For New Hotel
Members of the city council gave out
the following statement relative to a
saloon license being issued to the new
Blackhawk hotel: Prior to the sa-
loon cut in July. 1913, the Blackhawk
hotel people bought the license of
Morgan, then operating in the old
Saratoga hotel, paying the sum of 5000
for the permit and the stock. Without
cost they allowed a man by the name
of Wilson. who had been bartender for
Morgan, to continue operating the
place under their license. In order to
make as little hardship as possible up
ON the saloonkeepers to be put out of
business, the last council asked the
Blackhawk Hotel company to give up
their license temporarily, agreeing, in
turn, to issue them a new one when
they were ready for it. The Black
hawk company cheerfully acceded to
the request. Inasmuch as they have
already purchased a permit and have
paid 5000 for the same, we feel Ii
would be unfair to make them pur-
chase another one at this time" Sew
eral aldermen who were interviewed,
stated they had not knowledge of the
reopening of the saloon question and
revision of the list of those who are
to go out of business. They stated
they would strenuously oppose any
such attempt.
