Zion Boptist Has
Acquired Site For
IfS New BuiIdinq

Zion Baptist Church has an
nounced the acquisition of its
building site is now complete. The
final section that makes up the
complete site was acquired the
past month.
The site includes the lots located
at Olson Highway to Thomas
place, bounded by James-Elwood
AV. N.
This recent purchase climaxed
the efforts put forth by the Site
committee, chairmanned by Ray
mond Cooper, to select site that
would include ample space for a
church and parking facilities.
The newly acquired area is ad-
jacent to part Of the Northern
boundary Of the Harrison Rede-
velopment Project.
Inasmuch as the South frontage
of Olson will be included In the
Harrison Project and not the
North Frontage, Zion's property
directly to the north of Olson will
not be affected.
John Warder, chairman of the
Building Committee, is hopeful
that the tentative plans that have
been made to begin erecting the
new church sometimes during the
year of 1868, can be carried out on
schedule.

by single Negro citizen in Min
neapolis. He urged that Jones be
granted a license after telling the
committee he appreciated the
problems which they faced in try
ing to be fair.
L. Howard Bennett, former
municipal judge and civic and
political figure made a fine pre-
sentation for Jones, tracing some
of the economic handicaps which
face Negro who seeks to enter
business. He urged the commit
tee to vote to grant the requested
license.
Benefits remarks were called
irresponsible" by Alderman Farnk
Moulton who claimed Bennett in
jected the race question.
Bennett replied that he did not
inject the race question, but only
referred to it because he felt it
was part of any consideration
which the Jones application would
receive.
Benefits position was defended
by Cecil e. Newman, newspaper
publisher who told the committee
and the audience that ANYBODY
who believed race did not figure
in any application sought by a
Negro was kidding himself.
He addressed his remarks to
Moulton and McGregor who had
tried to show race did not enter
into the decision to be made on
the application. Actually Moul-
tion's outburst at Benefits con-
vincing statements opened up the
race question.
Race had already figured when
Jones showed he sought to serve
a portion of the liquor needs of
the segregated Negro community
and that the only spot in the pres
ent patrol limits near the COM
munity which he could secure was
the block in which he sought the
license.
Jones' attorney, Henry H. Felix
ema was interrupted twice by
committee councilmen when he at
tempted to rebuilt the statements
of opponents to the granting of
the license. He finally resigned
himself and ended his argument.
All others on each side Of the
issue were given a full hearing.
All opponents to the license also
denied Jones race was a factor in
their opposition.

The Minneapolis city license
committee unanimously voted tc
deny the application Of Willard
Jones, 1881 Portland Av., for 9
license to operate an off-sale
liquor store at 1914 Fourth Av. s..
Wednesday.
The motion to deny was made
by Alderman Arnett Leslie and
passed with q voice vote which
was apparently unanimous.
Appearing against the applica'
ton was Rev. Henry Soltau who
presented a petition which he
stated was signed by business mer
and residents of the area around
and contiguous to the proposed nq.
uor store.
Also opposing were representa-
tives Of the Central Lutheran

cation sought and a representa-
tive of the Loring- -NicoIlet Bus
mess Development Assn.
The latter read a list Of affiliat'
ed groups covering most of the
Minneapolis central Southside
which he claimed were opposed tc
the granting of a license.
Rev. Soltau and the group from
Central Lutheran stated the neigh
borhood was deteriorating anc
that there was already too much
drinking in the area. Cited were
seven taverns in the area and the
fact that the area Is fast becom'
ing "a skid row."
Rev. Walter Lee Battles, Of
the House Of Refuge, a mission
church, q block from the pro-
posed cite made two talks
against the license, in which he
described how he pastored two
Twin City churches costing
$65,OOO.
Rev. Battles stated only the
poor people came to his church
on Fourth Av., and that he fell
that a liquor store would harm
the neighborhood. After describ'
ing a trip he made to Rome he
threatened to leave Minnesota Il
he did not get more financial sup
port for his churches.
He stated he put $500 a month
out Of his own pockets In his two
congregations to keep them going
and reiterated he was against the
granting of the license even If he
had to go against some of the
Negro leaders who were there ir
support of Jones.
Speaking for Jones and his ap'
plication for a license was A. B
Cassius, civic leader and a cafe
and bar owner, whose own fight
ten years ago to obtain an on.
sale license attracted nationwide
attention and caused a change ir
license patterns.
