Cohen Application
For Saloon License
Is Not Withdrawn


The county commissi oners have not
yet assigned date for a hearing on
the remonstrance filed against Jacob
Cohen, who wishes to open a saloon
at Wood and Suburban avenues. The
number and prominence OF the re-
; monstrants evidently had some influ-
ence upon Cohen and there was re-
port today that he might withdraw
his application. The commissioners
stated this afternoon, however, that
the application had not been with
/ drawn.
No effort has been made to have an
early hearing in the remonstrance
against Prof. Atlas application to
transfer his license to James Morri-
son.
Officials of the Universalist church
and other taxpayers are determined
in their opposition to- the project and
it is said the applicant will not in
sist upon a hearing just at present.
