COUNCIL ACTION
IS CONDEMNED
BY MERCHANT
Granting Of Liquor License to
S. SaIitO Causes a
Protest

The action Of the city council last
night in granting a wholesale liquor
license to S. Salito is criticised Sc
verely by some of the local wholesale
merchants who declare that the
granting of permission to person to
conduct business of that character
outside of the business district for the
paltry sum of $50 not only estab-
fishes a bad precedent but initiates
to the disadvantage Of other whole
sale merchants who pay big rents or
taxes and a license of 5000 a year
to conduct the same kind of busl-
ness.

Earl Cooley. claimed last night, that
he cannot afford to establish him
self in a downtown building. Not
withstanding the fact that there has
been objection from residents OF that
section that liquor traffic was be-
ing carried on there. the council saw
fit to grant a privilege which is not
only an authorization Of peddllns
but an unfair competition to the
more legitimate wholesale merchant.

chants in the city today--a man who

to all that the present methods Of
