CITIZENS FIGHT
TO BAR SALOON
FROM MIDST
Go to Court to Prevent Estab-
lishment of Place at Six
teenth and Myrtle
CLAIM COUNCIL HAS
EXCEEDED AUTHORITY
Consent of Residents of Neigh
bOrhOOd Necessary Under
Law, They Say

A suit OF tremendous Importance
TO all Michigan citizens interested in
seeting the saloon kept out OF resi-
dence neighborhoods and Detroit resi-
dents in particular. IS scheduled for
heating in the Wayne circuit court,
Tuesday morning. The suit is brought
in the form OF a petition for an injunc-
ton restraining Fred Dreher from
transferring his license from Hum
boldt-ave. and Magnoliast. to the cor
ner OF Sixteenth and Myrtle. The
complainant is c. w Terry OF No. 622
Sixteenth-st., and he Is backed by
more than 100 residents of the neigh
borhood. which has been in the re-
striCted zone.
The issue really involves the right
of the common council to permit the
establishment Of saloon In resi-
dence district, without the consent OF
all the property owners within 300
feet OF the proposed new location,
The case will also bring up the ques-
tlon as TO what constitutes resi-
dence neighborhood in the eyes OF
the law, as Mr.. Dreher, in his answer,
contends that his proposed location
is in q business district. There are a
few small business houses on Myrtle
st. for the convenience of the neigh
borhood, and most OF them have resi-
.dences in connection.
Within radius of three blocks on
Myrtle, there are four saloons, quite
sufficient, the residents say. TO take
care of present needs. There is one at
Fourteenth and Myrtle, another at
Seventeenth and Myrtle, third at
Eighteenth and Myrtle and fourth
at Humboldt and Myrtle
Even the "wets" of the district ad-
NIT that the number OF saloons is
ample for all purposes. and object TO
having another stuck right under
their noses" Myrtle and Sixteenth is
"a popular corner Many young women
of the neighborhood board the cars
az that point togo to their work, and
some of them work nights. A saloon
on the corner, Mr. Terry says, would
naturally attract hangers-on and wo-
men waiting for cars would have TO
listen to their remarks.
The first intimation the residents
had OF the transfer was last week,
when Mr.. Dreher started fitting out
the place. Mr.. Terry, acting az
spokesman, investigated and found
out that the council had allowed the
transfer by amending the restriction
ordinance, with the consent OF both
the former aldermen of the ward.
OBrien and Hess, who retired week
ago. The residents at once took steps
TO enter a protest in the council,
while Mr.. Terry, backed by several OF
the most interested ones, hailed Mr..
l. cher into court The present alder
men Wing and Robinson, have prom
ised to do what they can for the petit
