SALOONKEEPERS REFUSED LICENSE

Lake County Commissioners Turn Down 32 Aplicants. At the meeting of the county commisioners of Lake county this week the Anti-Saloon League succeeded in getting in a great deal of effective work by ditching thirty-two liquor license applications, some by technicalities connected with the printing of their applications and notices; others by remonstrance and a few being undesirables. Henry Lassen, proprietor of the Lassen pavillion at Cedar Lake, was successful in obtaining a license Monday after several unsuccessful attempts in the past. Bob Russel and two other Cedar Lake saloonkeepers were turned down by the hoard, after a successful fight had been made by the Anti-Saloon leaguq lawyers against the granting of licenses to them.
