Investment in fixtures he had been
forced to take over on a loan and
should not be discriminated
against, championed Alderman
Edwtn Goodenough. Because the
Tourist cafe, formerly located on
the property now leased by Rohde,
had i a beer license, endorsement
of a permit for Rohde would .not
violate the principle of the limit
ing resolution, he averred
'One more beer license", won't
