BILLBURC is NOT
GIVEN A LICENSE
Commission By Vote of Four to One
Rejects Application of Owner
to Conduct His New Bar.

By vote of four to one the city
commission yesterday rejected the ap-
plication of A. W. Billburg for lie
ense to conduct a bar in his new build
ing at the corner of Third avenue and
Twentieth street. Mayor McConochie
favored issuance of the license. but
Commissioners Rudgren. Liedtke,
Murrin and Juhl voted negatively.
Billburg filed his application, with
bond. and deposited a six months
license fee last April after he had TAX
en- possession of the property. of which
he had become owner while the build
ing. since removed, was occupied as
saloon by John Erbacher. The latter
refused to vacate, and Billburg Sc
cured possession of the keys during
the temporary absence from the build
ing of Erbacher. Thereupon the new
owner begun erection of the brick
structure that now stands on the site.
There was no general discussion be-
fore the vote on the Billburg license
application, but Commissioner Liedtke
suggested that if someone other than
Billburg asked for the license he be-
lieved it would be granted, but he did
not shed any light on the reason for
opposition to Billburg by himself and
three fellow commissioners. Billburg
opened his new bar last Friday, and
is still doing business.
1t is understood that Billburg, who
was not present when the commission
voted to reject his application, will
ask reconsideration of his case at
the hands of the commission in order
that he may be heard.

change in the local newspaper field,
rumored for several days, was con-
firmed yesterday when DR.. z. B. Full
