IR The wings of twenty-thrco of tho flfty-f flfty-f seven alleged brewory-ownod and con-) con-) irollcd saloons In Salt L-ake City were i clipped by the city council Monday night. r. , Out of 161 applications for liquor licenses, li-censes, or applications for renewals of ifl licenses, presented, tho license committee recommended that twenty-three significant signifi-cant number be held up. The council followed the recommendation. Of tne twenty-three applications thus acted upon, ull were presented by saloons either ' owned or controlled .by the three leading broweries of the city. The applications held up follow: Tr John A. Peters. G. Allais, Ambrose IT. i .Dole. Angella Adams. DIanca & Bertelll, Peter Schmidt, U H. Goulet. Nick Tc-desco, Tc-desco, Tedesco & Co., C. G.

For Instance, at two or three of the places in dispute it was found that the breweries were Interested in them only to the extent of being upon the proprietor's pro-prietor's note given for fixtures and the like. In others It was discovered that the brewers had advanced tho money for tho fix Lures to the proprietor, taking as surety a mortgage upon them, and that the mortgage had nearly been paid. In such cases, where it is apparent that tho proprietor of tho saloon soon will bo able to wipe out his Indebtedness and become an Independent saloonkeeper, the license , committee readily recommended . the m. granting of the license. J The holding up of tho applications for I renewals carried with It no Instructions 1 to notlfv the applicants denied a license f to cease" business, and it Is supposed that I these places will be allowed to run until formally ordered to close up. The license committee likely will cull over tho appli- 1 ( cations held up at the committee meeting i Thursday night and make a further rc- f port on them. Awaiting a Koport. t No report was forthcoming from the f; municipal laws and license committees E upon Mr. Fernstrom's amended ordinance I directed against brewery-owned and con-I con-I trolled saloons; consequently, tho fiery I councilman from the Third got no chance f for action on the well-credited report b that there is an unholy alliance between ; the breweries and the Republican party y to control the saloon vote of this and Weber counties. . The quarters at 33 Commercial street, ! for which J. W. McKenaic. a negro, re- oentlv was denied an application for a k renewal of his license, is to be reoccuplod by a "negro" saloon. Upon Chief of Police Po-lice Pitt's recommendation and statement state-ment that James A. Bradley, a negro, has pledged himself to conduct an orderly place, Bradley was granted a license. I One of the forcible arguments in favor of granting Bradley a -license was that I there is no "negro" saloon in the city: that Is, a saloon owned and controlled by n negro, in which this race may congregate congre-gate wlthojjt mixing with white poople. " i Frequently the presence of negroes In Miloons run bv white men has occasioned i trouble, and It was thought to avoid possible racial difficulties by granting the application. ! The waterworks committee recommend-1 recommend-1 ed that the petition of the Young Ceme-i Ceme-i torv association, that the water tax bo r remitted on tho ground where President r Brigham Young Jo burled, be denied; but ' I Mr. Hall asked that the matter bo laid ? over one week, and this was done. The cutting off of the free list of this ccnio-', ccnio-', ( torv association was in keeping with the v 'cutting off from the same list of the ft hospitals and churches. y) Chief of Police Pitt's recommendation t of the aopointment of F. R. Muth as spe-: spe-: clal watchman for the merchants' pro-f(( pro-f(( tective pa.trol was referred to tho polico i i committee. The nomination of Harold D. r," McDaniel as regular policeman in the f placo of Patrolman Tyler, resigned, went I to the police and prison committee. The following contracts with contractors contrac-tors entered into by the board of public works were approved. James Kennedy, fewer extension 100; "V". P. Strange, sower 1 extension 1'03, P. J. Moran, paving cxtcn- j I aion -J". I' Tor Moro Improvements. The city recorder was authorized to I publish notice of intention of the follow- I fng improvements: Sewer extension, 213, Brldport street between .Fifth and Sixth South; sewer extension 211. West Temple r between First and Second North; slde- jf walk extension 141, "North Main between " First and Third North; curbing and gut- ' lering extension on Thirteenth East be- , twecn First and Second South; paving extension -IC, 3 street from First to Third 7 avenue. ; William F. James and other property owners and residents along East First i South street between Fifth and Twelfth ' East want the street railway company's 1 i new trolley polos placed next to tho curb ing instead of five or six feet Inside upon the fiidcwalk, regardless of whether unl- t formity Is maintained and the poleH are Jn- a row, and James's petition to that effect was referred to the streets com- h- mlttoe for an Investigation. On the south I. side of tho street the poles are next to bji the curb, and the residents of the other K, "side of tho street want them tho samo way there. On account of tho water L pipes it is impossible for perfect align- T, ment to be maintained, it is claimed; m- hence the desire to place the poles live Ki or six feet inside the curb. Mr. Hall and mr Mr. Black believe the property owners ft.1, ' And residents should have the say as to I where the poles are to bo placed. Hi Cost of Paving. Ml City Engineer Louis C. Kelscy's esti- mate as to tho cost of paving Fourth K. East street from South Temple to Third South street was referred to the engi- wm neering and tlnance committees.
