---.,
1 Believing that the number of saloons in Grand Islanili
'exceed the legitimate requirements of the trafic,and thereby

to the trade,and inimical to its proper regulation,and
Believing that a reasonable reduction in their number is
desirable,where SUCh reduction can be made without injustice
or favori~ism to established places of business:
Therefore,be it resolved by the l~yor and City Council
of the City of Grand Island,that it is the sense of this body
that the number of retail liquor licenses to be granted in the
future Should be gradua~ly reduced by eliminating, where prac-
tical,appllcants WhO are not now engaged in business,and re-
fusing licenses to those who,in the jUdgment of the Council,
Should not be entitledl to renewals thereof. A.C.Menck,
