A request from Frank Monroe for a new Retail Class "B" beer license at 47 East 7th Street was read. This is the location formerly known as the East Side Tavern and was operated by Joe D. Hale and Merle Short, who were refused a renewal license by the Council. Accompanying the application there were three character reference letters read at this time. Mr. Monroe was present and addressed the Council. He stated that if granted permission for this license he would conduct the placew the best of his ability and in such a manner as to make it an honor to the City and that he would piCk his clientelle and weed out all the undesirable characters and would want to run the place so that any member of the Councilor the Council as a whole could inspect the place at any time. Councilman Barette stated he was opposed to giving any more licenses than the City had at this time. He said he did 'not think it was a good policy to recommend a new'license. He stated that the Council was under obligation to the parents of the students at the Uniyersity to see that too many of these ppaces were not granted licenses. He said he was making a motion that no more.licenses be granted other than those now being operated. There, was no second to this motion.. . Councilman Hawn sta ted that he would have to disagree with Councilman Barette and thought the former objections were to the way the place had been run, rather than the location. He stated that he had talked to Mr. Monroe and believed he:would be able to run the place in a satisfactory manner and he thought this matter should be referred to the proper committee for further investigation. Councilman Koppe said it was his understanding that the Council had gone on record as not ravoring any new licenses, but that as two 'had already been refused this would leave two places that might be filled in. Mr. Monroe addressed the Council again and stated that he had worked for five years for a wholesale grocery house in Nebraska and that they had handled wholesale beer; that he had been in practically every beer licenses place in south-eastern Nebraska and felt that I i he was familiar with the different conditions and believed that he could run this II' .place in a manner that would be satisfactory to. the Council. The matter was referred 'i to the l>olice Coromi ttee to report back at the next Council meeting. !I Ii II I! ji I! 8 Ii Ii ii I; ;1 11 11 II 9 I, Ii I: I: 11 10 i; il II 'I I, \1 'i II 1,1 1.1 I i , I I I 73~ {,~' '~' ~ Councilman Pennington reported regarding the purchase of a new car for the Police Department, which had been referred to the Police Committee from the last Council meeting.
