Show JPPLICJTIDIS FOB LICFJSES HELD IIP Failure to Comply With Provisions Pro-visions of New Law Is the Cause. Special to The Tribune. OGDEN, July 22. Ministcrprotation by tho applicants of somo of tho clauses of the hj'brcd liquor law passed .by the last legislature, resulted in tho postponement of action on seven applications appli-cations for liquor licenses presented to District Judges J. A. llowoll and Nathan Na-than J, Harris, sitting en banc, this morning. An order was jointly issued by the two judges setting August 1 as the final date of tho hearing, thereby giving the applicants amplo time to conform to the provisions of chant or 107 of tho Session Ses-sion Laws of Utah, 1911. While most of tho applications were technically erroneous, er-roneous, it was interesting to note that some of the bondsmen who signed their mimes to tho application owned no property in their own names sufficient, to qualify them as legal bondsmen. This was the case in tho application of A. L. Kohn for a license. John Pingrcc, one of those who signed as a bondsman, was found by the court to hold no realty in his own name as required by tho statute, and for this renson was found to occupy tho same position as a "straw" bondsman. bonds-man. On the same application Mrs. E. A. Stowe, one of those who vouched for tho good character of the applicant, was found by tho court to havo no address ad-dress in tho city directory and her residence could not bo established. In all of tho applications thero were found to be such errors which would mako the application invalid unless corrected. In tho matter of the application of A. L. Kohn for a wholesale licenso, A. E. Pratt, a local attorney, appeared before tho court on behalf of the people peo-ple of Morgan county to protest against the issuance of the license. Morgan county .being dry. and a large amount of liquor having been sold and shipped thero by Weber county wholesalers, whole-salers, is understood to be the reason for the protest. This protest will also bo heard by. tho court pn August, 1 when tho seven applications are taken up for final disposition. The seven applicants ap-plicants aro Norman & Burrill, retail; J. C. Watt, retail; A. L. Kohn, retail; A. L. Kohn, wholesale; Burrill & Wallers, Wal-lers, retail; Lowis Lcavitt, retail, and Joseph Hnll, retail. |
