Councilman Mer riU"R ordinance presiding for certain priv ileges to be granted saloon men received a severe slap when Introduced before the liquor license committee yesterday after noon. In text, the ordlnace permits sa loons to remain open from 1 A- M. to 5 A. il.. with the provlslo that an addi tional license of $400 be paid Its Introduction was the occasion ior a heated discussion. Councilman Flegel tak ing the Initiative and replying to Merrill with arguments bearing directly on the present management of Portland's liquor traffic MerrlH contended that the city treasury was sadly in need of funds and that the oaly feasible method at hand to make up the S96.000 shortage was to resort to the suggestions embraced In his ordinance. He stated further that more than 40 per cent of the saloonmen would, provided the ordinance was passed, immediately take advantage of the privileges and pay their licenses for one year In advace, fur nishing In this manner a lump sum of over $58,000 to the city treasury- He argued that the city was obligated to raise the salary of policemen from $75 a month to at least $85, and the revenue gained from the additional licenses could be immediately applied to this end Councilman Zimmerman stated that while he was In favor of the ordinance, he certainly would not vote for it If the revenue was to be devoted to raising policemen's salaries. He suid, further, that there were many departments In the city government the operations of which were necessarily curtailed through lack of funds and he, personally, would prefer to see the funds devoted to Improvements that would materially benefit the citizens of Portland. Flegel gave several very explicit opin ions which so greatly Incensed Merrill that he became extremely emphatic, ap plying personal remarks to all members of the committee, which were received without reply. Flegel Anally moved that ihc ordinance be returned to the Council without recommendation, which measure was unanimously adopted. The application of the Star Brewery for a license to conduct a saloon at the corner of Williams avenue and Fremont street was rejected. This matter led up to a lengthy discussion bearing on the Sullivan estate. It seems that Charles Sullivan, deceased, maintained an orderly saloon on this particular corner for over IS years, and upon his death M. W. Smith negotiated with the widow to pur- hase or lease the place. The Star Brew ery anticipated him and purchased the place and then raised the rent to such a figure that it seemed impracticable for him to take the lease. Smith then ar ranged for the construction of a building for the purpose of opening a saloon and applied for a license. Both his own and the Brawcry Company's application came before the committeeesterday. The final decision of the committee was to the effect that not at any previous time had the Star Brewery maintained an orderly Kaloon and their application was . reject ed. That of Smith was granted. G. A. Lane's application was also re jected. The committeemen argued that the Old Star Cafe had never been con ducted In the proper manner and the renewing of the license would only serve to encourage a wider scope for saloons of like ilk. E. Emmert's application was rejected because the location of the saloon is in the Immediate vicinity of the High School". For possibly the three-hundredth time In ten years a Hconse was denied Wllhelm Huoss. of the "Woodlawn district. The approving of several hundred li cense renewals occupied the attention of the committee until nearly night. B. E. BROOKE H0N0BED. Portland Student Elected Director of Big Stanford Club.
