Mount Rainier Opposition.
Most vigorous opposition to license
applications rejected was voiced by
residents of the area to request
by Harry WeIpstein, owner of
grocery store at Thirty-first street
and Rainier avenue, Mount Rainier,
for an off sale beer, wine and liquor
license
A delegation of Is home owners
in the vicinity of the store claimed
the establishment is in purely resi-
dental area and approval of the ap-
plication would lower the value Of
their property. Mr.. Weinstein now
has an of-sale beer license.
In addition, the Rev. G.. r. Banes,
pastor of the Mount Rainier Meth
odist Church, charged that Mr..
Weinstein was "insincere and un-
truthful" since the latter had de-
clared he would withdraw his petit
ton at a meeting of the Mayor and
Town Council last week.
Others opposing the application
included the Rev. C. H. Frick, pas
tor of the Mount Rainier Christian
Church, and Councilmen w. w.
James and j. S. Bozeman.
The two other liquor license ap-
plications denied were by Joseph
Salute for an on-sale beer and wine
license on the Baltimore boulevard,
