Coffee Shop License
Plea Under Amusement

Members of the Alcoholic Bever-

under advisement an application
by George and Nicholas Papani-
colas for an on-sale beer and wine
linceses for the Colonial Coffee
Shop at 1872 Twentieth street NV,
which is within 200 feet of the
Union Methodist Church.
The application is being fought
by a group led by Rev. John R.
Edwards, pastor of the church, who
told the board at an earlier hearing
this month that George Papanicolas
had suggested he would make a
liberal contribution" to the church
If its opposition were withdrawn.
A fat denial that any such an
"offer" or statement had been made
was given to the board at another
hearing yesterday by George
Papanicolas. He insisted the pastor
had misconstrued his statement,
which he said was to the effect
that if the pastor would support
reputable shops, "it would con-
tribute toward elimination OF the
less desirable types of shops"
At the early June hearing the
applicants had sought an on-sale
hard liquor permit. This was de-
MED by the A. B. C. Board.
