MANY OBJECT TO
LIQUOR LICENSE
FOR MORRISON

Opposition to the granting of a Ii
cense to sell liquor to J. E. Morrison
at Main street and Union Square was
heard before the County Commission
ers this morning, the remonstrants
being some of the financial interests
of the city, the Y. M. c. A. and others
who do not believe the place a proper
one for another saloon. Attorney J.
B. Klein represents the petition,
Morrison, and Attorney John S. Pull
man the remonstrants.
J. E. Morrison, the petitioner, was
the first witness. and said he believed
the location a proper one, and that
it would not be a detriment to the
section, to the Y. M. C. A. or of the
financial interests. John F. Murphy
and George B. Roberts testified to
similar views.
W. Seymour Lacy, secretary of the
7. M. c. A, was the first witness for
the remonstrants. He admitted he is
opposed to all saloons, and would
consider a saloon at that location a
detriment even if the Y. M. c. A.
building were not in it's present loca-
ton. He olassed the Y. M. c. A. as
a charitable institution, and said one
of his objections to the proposed sa-
loon is because the law prohibits
within a certain distance.
Many other witnesses were heard
for the remonstrants, representing
some of the banks, and others oppos-
ed to the granting of another license
in that locality.
Among the remonstrants are the
estate of Jacob Arnold, the Park
theatre, Empire theatre, Bridgeport
Savings bank, Hincks Brothers, Bridge
port Land & Title Co., Bridgeport
Trust Co., Barnum estate, Jack Shea,
and others who have property inter-
ests, officers of the different institu-
lions signing for those they represent.
