the city attorney reported that the petition of the security abstract company to have connections made in certain deeds issued by the city to private parties was just and should be granted adopted the committee on license recommended that henry pinkus be granted permission by li license oense to conduct a saloon near the warm springs councilmen Coun oilmen hall and james were opposed to the granting of a liquor license in that locality as it was too remote from police protection and that crime would run rampant at that place if the license were granted but the councilmen referrer refer to wasted all their rhetoric and arguments by being voted down mr pinkus will open a saloon near that resort immediately 91 VARIETY THEATRE the committee commit toe on license also recommended that the application of E J perry and company for license to conduct a saloon in the basement of the franklin avenue variety theatre be granted councilman hall opposed this recommendation also saying that the basement was connected with the amusement admust ment rooms at least I 1 have been informed that there are means of communication between the two places councilman pickard I 1 do not think that there is any aperture or direct opening leading from the baci bument ement to the amusement halls above and I 1 am of the opinion that the license should be granted councilman hall it is an easier matter to prohibit than control granting that there is no aperture between the two places or rather that the one that was there has been barred up say it would not be long after the granting of the license until the bars bare would be removed I 1 shall oppose the granting of the license councilman cohn I 1 am nobody s champion and nobody nob odys Is mouthpiece but if we find there is anything wrong we can hereafter revoke the license councilman james in IM view of the violated pledges of the variety theatre company to allow them to conduct a saloon in the building is the height of monstrosity st they rhey obtained their license by misrepresentation saying that they would conduct their show house in a manner that would do credit to our city their performances were to have been pure and chaste as those of the salt lake theatre have they been me such h I 1 tell you we have got a load on our hands bands councilman pembroke I 1 understand that these gentlemen come be here re with letters of the highest recommendation ommen dation as to character and good reputation and it will be working a hardship against them to renee refuse them this little request there is an old and good rule which la Is judge not lest ye be judged land and I 1 think we should honorl t in this instance I 1 am in favor of the license aen councilman hall moved to defer action for one week councilman cohn when the walker opera house was opened and for two or three years thereafter a saloon and aad liquor house was conducted in the basement of that building but it subsequently closed for lack of patronage this one may also be compelled to close for the some same reason I 1 do not think we should deny the application councilman james jamee seconded halls motion to lay the matter over for one week councilman pembroke was in favor of the original motion to grant the license and adopt the recommendations ions councilman hall hail read a clause from the charter showing that action could not be legally taken without one weeks postponement and thus the matter was temporarily settled T E peacock also made a application ilea ll 11 for a liquor license lanyo laid over er for a week
