Show THE OTHER SIDE shall the diamond saloon be licensed editor enquirer the question of the legality leea lity and propriety of licensing the occidental saloon in the burldine buil dine on main street owned and controlled by mrs E W ang ains seems to be agitating the public mind to a degree almost bordering upon the extreme atia facts am led to believe are not thoroughly understood by one sixth of the people who are venturing and airing their opinions both pro and con in order that both sides of the matter anny be properly placed before the thinking portion of the people of Provo the ot the E has kindly granted thia space the situation is that who have been in abe liduor busi ness in this city ever since the license law came in vogue and who the general reputation I 1 believe of carry iaz on as orderly a business as any of the kind in provo and it is cot to be expected that they are going to change their at this stage hive applied a licese lice se to carry on a buneata in a owned by mrs and formerly occupied as a saloon the chango ia not intended to show any dis regard for the feelings of the people 0 provo who have become incensed at the actions and demeanor of the former occupant but simply as a business proposition and an endeavor upon their part to better their condition As to the business transacted between them and Duggins there has been none aa he is not the owner of the premises sectioned ag the county and city records plainly chow mrs emily W luegina is the owner however and the ono with whom we negotiated the city council baa bad access to all the papers of the transaction and are as familiar with all phases of both it and the building as the contracting parties theros elvea these gentlemen corn the council are all old and well known catiz ana of honor aad integrity and sterling worth it is to be understood that the people of provo elected theae men aa their and do they now question their ability to handle matters entrusted ta their consideration it is certainly casting reflections upon them both as to their honesty and executive ability and an insult to their intelligence human righta and sentiment are not always found traveling hand in hand and because one man may naya erred and fallen into disrepute is it right and proper that others should be compelled to suffer for his transgression if mr has BO conducted that baie now a subject of business boycott and octal ostracism is it necessary to attain the ends of justice that the wife and little ones of mr my own little family or even the family of mr himself be deprived of their means ot livelihood tad support they certainly are innocent of gonei dobz in the premises and in no way for dialing conditions in an article published in mondays edition ol 01 the enquirer entitled A protect the writer of which baa certainly not given the subject proper consideration or has been endly misinformed appears a great that will not bear a very first ahe charges our honorable council with licensing sip it aurely cannot ha sinful or criminal lo 10 conduct a heiti male business under the ordinances of the city if so then toe people and the masses of provo must have einred when they doted to do away with prohibition and licensed and legalized the sale of inton cants the writer claimed that this is done by the counsil in the face of au earnest and united of the voters this ia doubtful as I 1 have been given to understand that a very great number of these petitioners petition ers were students of the B Y academy young people under age and ladies who for obvious reasons are unable to personally investigate thia matter aad who are influenced fluen ced catly by gossip and who I 1 am satisfied not willingly per per an injury upon any one not deserving of same I 1 dont wish to jump at conclusions but 1 honestly believe that if thia matter were submitted to the great mass of tax payers of the city it would meet with a very decided opposition her eulogy of the orator and ata teaman the honorable membry from the third precinct reminds one vey ve y forcibly of the petit juror who referred to his fallow juryman jurymen aa eleven of the moat stubborn individuals thia side of the river her state ment that our sons and daughters were safer on our streets before the advent of electricity electric ty and the saloons is alfo questionable tio as the and numerous other cases the records will show ia proof by re terance to the records of the past and present methods of handling the liquor problem it will be found it toot just twice the police force to properly control it if it did control it which I 1 think is question able than it does today her proposition t do without the revenue and go back to a more primitive style may do but it is not according to the policy of progressive american communities abe sum of it all ia this have the bricks and timber of this house an inai kimata object ever wronged anyone are aileon lees fit to conduct a business ot abia kind than others en garod in the business id it justice to errant a privilege to one and refuse another next door after ha baa already paid over nine thousand dollars for said privilege has not this movement already accomplished its mission and succeeded in breaking up dugges in business Is the city council after careful investigation capable of judging as to the association in any way of dug kins in the proposed change of wilson Is it proper that one per son should buffer in a business or social sence for wrong doing ot an other I 1 feel perfectly satisfied that if the good people of provo will give this matter a little consideration before arriving at any conclusion it will remove from minds a great deal of that may have gathered there duo to causes that the parties desiring this license and the bood will of the people of provo were in no was responsible respectfully W awu aam |
