WE APPLIED FOR A SERVICE LICENSE FOR THE HOTEL, .: AND AS THE ENTRANCE TO, THE BAR WOULD BE ACROSS THE STREET fROM THE BAPTIST CHURCH, THEY WERE JUStlfIED~Y PER~URBE~ AND PROTESTED THE GRAN!IN~ Of THE LICENSE.' THE COUNCIL" fELT, HOWEVER, THAT THE HOTEL wAS ENTITLED TO THE LICENSE AND GRANTED IT. I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT I N. .I'LL THt n~'ARS: THAT IT HAS BEEN I N EFFECT ACROSS THE STREET fROM THE CHURCH, THERE HAS BEEN'NO INDICATION THAT IT HAS IN ANY WAY OfFENDED OR DISTURBED THE MEMBERS OF THE CON'GRE::GATI ON. OUR RELATIONS WI TH THE MI NI STER ANI) HI S flOCK WAS ALWAYS MOST CORDI AL AND. NEIGHBORLY. You CA" BE SURE THAT A SIMILAR SITUATION WOULD DEVELOP IN THIS CASE. WE WOULD' DO NOTHiNG THAT WOULD,CONSTITUTE A NUISANCE OR IN ANY WAY O~fEND EITHER THE BIBLE SCHOOL OR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CHURCH. THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING DRINKS BY THE GLASS IS A MATTER THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE PEopLE or THE' STATE, ;AND IS AN"ACCEPTED PART OF RESTAURANT SERVI CE I N ALL THE LARGER I ESTABLISHMENTS HERE IN EUGENE AND NEIGHBORING CITIES, AND IN MANY CASES THROUGHOUT THE STATE T_HE LI CENSES HAVE BEEN GRANTED TO. PLACES WI TH.I N A BLOCK OF DOWNTOWN CHURCHES., IN CHECKING WITH THE OREGON STATJ HOTEL ASSOCIATION, lAM INFORMED THAT THERE IS NO INDICA- TION THA.T THE LIC'ENSES HAVE PROVEN OBJECTIONABLE. I MENTION THIS IN SUPPORT Of MY BELIEf :; THAT 'ouR NEI GHBORS WOULD' CONTI NUE TO 1"1 NO US A PLEASANT PLACE TO EAT AND A CREDI T TO THE II' . I COMMUNITY. OUR TRADE IS A fAMILY TRADE AND WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO CATER- TO THE VERY Ii ,I FINE PEOPLE WHO PATRONIZE OUR ESTABLISHMENT." II , - " i 1 ',T WAS MOVED BY MR.. OwEN, SECONDED BY MR.
