| LOCKERS
STATUS To
Be FIXED
At ONCE
Committee Regarded as Liberal,
but Stiff Fight Is Forecast
in Council.

Settlement Of the status OF
locker clubs in Atlanta for an
other year will be determined at
once, according to a statement
Thursday by Councilman A. R.
Colcord, chairman of the newly
lappointed Police Committee, who
announced that he would call his
committee together and with the
other members make a personal
inspection of all the clubs in the
city.
This committee likely will report on
| the application of clubs for renewa!
of licenses at the meeting of Council
on January 10. Then members of
Council as well as members of the
Police Committee will have a say az
to whether licenses shall be renewed
New Committee Liberal.
The policy of the new Police Com
mittee is generally regarded as lib
eral, even forbearing to the point of
declining to revoke any licenses.
Strong outside influences and a num-
Der of members of Council take the
view, however, that some of the
clubs are without the law and must
be closed.
Little opposition to any Of the
clubs is expected to develop among
the members of the Police Committee
but when the applications reach
Council a stiff fight against some OF
the clubs is predicted.
The fact that the Police COMMITTEES
is seemingly complacent over the
agitation against the clubs is most
favorable for the clubs. The Police
Committee will do all the investigat-
ing and if It chooses not to report
unfavorably on any of them 1t will
be hard indeed for the other mem
bers of Council to obtain any definite
evidence that would be sufficient to
revoke a license; though Council has
the power to revoke a license with
or without cause.
Renewal Not Up Till July.
Besides Councilman Colcord the
other members of the committee are
j. II. Harwell, Jesse b. Lee, Jesea
Armistead and Frank II. Reynolds.
The renewal of near" beer licenses
does not come up until July. There
are mutterings around the City Hall
that some saloon licenses are to be
revoked, particular cases being sa-
loon pronrietors who have been very
active politically. Some members of
Council declare that wh~- the right
time comes they will not hesitate to
speak openly and demand that the
saloon of one man, who has taken a
prominent part in city no1itics, he
closed.
Again the Police Committee is ex-
pected to be barrier between the
radical members and the revocation
of licenses. At least that is what all
the political experts say. And the
Police Committee, appointed bv
Mayor Woodward. will be carrying
out Mayor Woodward's policy and
will have his support, if the gossips
can be believed.
