The Trustees of Daly City

Celia BRACKEN applied for and was granted a renewal of her saloon license.
Frank KNOWLES seems determined to have another saloon in spite of the ordinance that says that one man cannot have two licenses. He applied for a renewal of H. BAUER’s license that became inoperative about four months ago when BAUER quit business. Two months ago KNOWLES had a prospective buyer for BAUERS’s and a transfer of license was refused. Marshal LUCY says KNOWLES put up the cash, which caused Trustee LANDINI to remark that he did not see what right KNOWLES had to two licenses. If it is legal to renew the license BAUER himself should run the place.
