 The point selected for the invasion in the new building at the southeast corner of Main street and Union Square. This building is being erected for James Canavari and J. B. Morri- son has applied for transfer to this location from 50 South avenue This license Is the same one which was owned by Prof. James Atlas and us- ed in his Fairfield avenue hotel un- til the county commissioners denied him a renewal of the license for that hostelry.
 Later this license was transferred to Morrison but he has merely kept it in custody and has not attempted to op- crate a saloon under it. The county commissioners have thought it desir- able to keep saloons on the side streets whenever possible and for that reason no new saloons have been per- mitted to locate on Main street in re- cent years. The remonstrance has not yet been filed with the commis- sioners.
