Street and 1925 First Avenue,
Formerly Blue Goose.
BILLBURG TO IMPROVE GROUND
To Let Bids Today for Construction OF
$4,000 Building-Com to
Hold Numbers Bars to 96.

Ninety-eight applications for saloon
licenses came up for consideration at
the hands of the city commission at
the meeting this afternoon, and 1t is
certain that SO will be passed upon
without question. The application
filed by William Fl. Healey, saloon
keeper, who passed away yesterday,
will be declared void. In two other in
stances there is a dispute on. A. W.
Billburg and John Erbacher have filed
applications for permit for 231 Tween
tieth street Mr. Billburg is at pres
ent in possession of the bar, taking
this step last week. He gave Erbacher
"A hours to remove his goods, which
the latter refused to do, and Billburg
then had the goods removed and stored
at Erbacher's expense. Mr.. Billburg
purchased the property in deal last
week and alleges that Erbacher had
no lease on the place.
Mr.. Billburg stated today that he
has made plans for extensive improve
ments on the property and will let
bids today for the construction of a
$4,000 building. The structure is to
be of brick and stone, 80 by 140 feet.
The present building will be wrecked.
Mr.. Billburg also explained that if he
was given a license he would put in
one of the finest bars in the state, the
fixtures alone to cost $4,000. Two
months will be required to finish the
building. The project for large no.
tel on that site has fallen through,
temporarily at least.
Two After Blue Goose.
Two applications have also been
filed for a saloon at 1926 First avenue,
formerly the Blue Goose. George Mar
shall, colored, and W. P. Conwell, are
the applicants.
Commissioner Rudgren stated today

SON OF CIRCUIT COURT CLERK
WIRES THAT He ESCAPED WITH
SHIRT AND TROUSERS

ship load of cadets were being taken
ito Pensacola on pleasure cruise by
the Academy. 1t was a part of the
course. The vessel ran into the gale,
and whether it went down and was a
total loss, has not yet been learned.
The vessel which carried the crowd to
Pensacola, however, will not be used
lin returning them.
