the 6S controlled by breweries or their
agents, and there remain 63, the num-
Der of saloons in Moline on election
DAY.
The foregoing records show condi-
tons as they were two and four years
ago, but according to officials at the
city hall and and to men throughout
the city who are familiar with the
situation, there have been few changes
since then, and the listing of only
two Of Moline's SIS saloons as being
entirely free and independent of the
brewers is approximately correct.
Many Vacant Buildings.
OF the 81 saloons controlled by
brewers or their agents the majority
are controlled either through direct
ownership of the property or through
leases. Those controlled merely by
ownership of fixtures are in the mi
nority. being comparatively small in
number
For this reason there will be very
few individual saloon keepers who
will be hard hit by the closing Of the
saloons. 1t will simply mean to most
of them that they will have to find a
new business. There will practically
be no downright loss to them. The
only loss will be in the abstract
what they might have made during
the next two years had the town re-
manned wet
The brewers, on the other hand, will
be hard hit. They will have at leas,
% buildings on their hands, which
they own. in addition to large num-
Der Of buildings on which they hold
leases.
1t was brewery control of so many
Of Moline's saloons that was one OF
the important factors in determining
the result of the local option election
and there are many men in the city
who voted wet at that time who have
since expressed their determination,
should the town ever become wet, to
fight the granting of licenses to places
controlled by brewers Property con-
sent is likely to play prominent par,
in this fight, should the town ever re-
vert to the wet column, and it was for
this reason that many wet voters ex-
pressed themselves as pleased few
/ weeks ago when the Moline city coun-
Gil refused to amend that section OF
the liquor ordinance, which, if amend
ed. would have allowed the brewers to
remain in control of saloon proper
ties and to reopen them again as sa-
| looms, should the town again become
wet, without the necessity of obtain
ing consent of property owners within
! the given radius.
| Several Of the saloons that will be
closed tonight will reopen in the near
! future, it is understood as soft drink
parlors. Others are likely to remain
vacant for a time, while others may
| be rented soon for other business pur-
poses.

TO QUIT TONIGHT
Doors OF 81 Places Close as Moline, as
Result OF Election. Becomes
Dry Territory.
BREWERIES CHIEF SUFFERERS
But One Bar OF Total Had Been Con-
Quoted Independent OF Ownership
or Control by Others.

At II o'clock tonight Moline will be-
come nominally and in effect anti
saloon territory. Sixty-one saloons
will close their doors.
On election day there were IS sa-
looms in the city, but two of these
went out of business when their II
censes expired Is days ago.
OF these 81 saloons which tonight
will cease to be, records on file at the
city hall indicate that there are but
two saloons in the city which are alb
solutely free and independent of any
sort of control whatsoever by brew
ing companies or brewery agents.
There are three methods whereby
breweries or their agents control sa-
loon properties:
BY actual ownership of the build
ings.
By ownership of a lease on the
building and sub-leasing or renting
the building to the saloon keeper.
By ownership of fixtures, in return
for use of which the saloon keeper
agrees to sell the beer manufactured
by the company that allows him use
of the fixtures.
By virtue of one of these methods
breweries or their agents controlled
81 of the 63 saloons that existed in
Moline election day, according to in
dications or records at the city hall.
A report filed April Is, 1915, at the
city hall. showing who paid taxes for
the previous year on saloon buildings
show that breweries or their agents
owned the following number of sa-
loon buildings in Moline outright:

But One Independent.
In a letter filed at the city hall in
1912, however, the Rock Island Brew

manner or other, of 81 of Molines 81
saloons. In a letter filed the same
day the Northwestern, or United Brew

these two breweries. Add to these the

show that Taxman Bros. of Rock Is

Moline saloon keepers. Add these
