VICTORY FOR SALOON MEN. Court Holds That a Liquor License Is Not n Valuable Privilege. OLYMPIA, Nov. 2. in the Superior Court of Thurston County, this morning, Judge Linn disposed of a question that has been rather prominent in th!s com munity lately, and one that is liable to be the issue in the forthcoming city elec tion. Some time ago the City Council, on a ruling of the Mayor that It Cook five votes to grant a saloon license, refused to grant a license to two applicants. One of the applications had four votes In Its favor, and the other three, both, however, being a majority of the Council present and vjtlng. Mayor Relnhart held at the time that a saloon license was a valuable privilege, and that under the statutes the granting of the licenses took five votes. The saloon men at once appealed to the courts, holding that a majority of the Council only was necessary for such license. Judge Linn this morning In over ruling a demurrer in tho case held that a saloon license was not a valuable priv ilege under the statutes, and thus the saloon men win a victory. The question has been agitated to such an extent of late that It promises to be the leading issue in the coming election, which will be held on December 5. REAR-END COLLISION.
