The great height OF the blaze was

CITIZENS WIN IN BIG
BATTLE TO BAR SALOON

Inquiries and learned that building
on the northeast corner Of Myrtle and
Magnolia was being fitted up for the
purpose. Backed by more than 100 Of
mis- neighbors he at once applied for
an Injunction At the same time Pc
tition of protest was prepared and
submitted TO the common council
In announcing his decision. Judge
Hosmer suggested that Section 81 Of
the Warner Cramton law be amended
so as TO require the common council,
in the case OF all transfers In resi-
uence districts, 10 notify the prop
erty owners affected and give them
an opportunity to be heard.
The courts decision rested solely
on the question OF whether Dreher's
proposed location was residence or
business district. Judge Hosmer
personally visited the neighborhood,
Tuesday afternoon, and his conclu-
sion was that II must be considered a
residential district.
'Unquestionably comparatively
few years ago." he said, "Myrtle-st.
was a residence street almost exclu-
sively At this particular point Six
leenth and Myrtle, possibly there were
no homes fronting on Myrtle-st., but
evidently 1t was the intention OF the
persons who plated the property that
The houses should be built facing the
north and south streets rather than
the east and west streets, at corners,
and that these streets should be used
for residence purposes"

ell has ruled on question OF fact,
10 disagree with them, but cannot
accede TO the doctrine that Il Is a
question OF fact for the common coun.
ell and not for the court to deter.
mine.
Now, as a matter OF law, simply
because three buildings that are to be
devoted TO some extent to business
have been erected at the corner Of
sixteenth and Myrtle-sts.. II doesn't
seem TO me that this locality rs ex-
,empted from the restriction provided
in Section 81 OF the Warner-Cramton
law. I, therefore. feel compelled un.
der the circumstance to issue an In.
junction. In case like the present,
where the plaintiffs property Is bound
10 be affected by the character of the
business IL is proposed to establish,
I think he has a right to bring bill.
And, although | dislike to have any
controversy with the common council,
nevertheless | feel constrained in this
case TO grant the relief asked"

The minister had reported Johnson's
