FRANK ROACH.
We protest against q grant OF IL
cense to the said applicant for the
following reasons:
/. The location, described by the
applicant, is not owned, rented OF
leased by him, but is owned by one
of your petitioners.
2. The said applicant has been
guilty of violation of laws, relative
to the selling Of liquors, in his late
Slidell saloon. He was fined for q
violation of the Sunday and Gay
Shattuck laws by Judge Jos. B. Lam
caster, of the District Court, as the
court records will show.
3. The said applicant was fined
and jailed by Mayor Hand, of Sli.
dell, after being proven guilty of sell
ing liquors on Sunday, in his Slidel
saloon.
4. The Gay-Shattuck law express
~ forbids police juries; and Other
authorities to grant any person a

thereafter of the privilege OF CON
ducting a barroom, cabaret. coffee

S. We believe that the record Of
the applicant, in the town Of Slidell
as above, shown, is good and sufd-
cient reason for your honorable

further submit that q negro saloon Ii
resort for the congregating of ques.
tionable characters, a factor for the
making of negro criminals, and the
habitutes a menace and disgrace tt
any community.
In view of the above stated facts
we pray that your honorable body
do not grant to the aforesaid appli.
cant a permit to conduct and operate
