remonstrance against the transfer. Snyder pointed out that Hinesely can continue to sell beer, wine, groceries and gasoline on his location as he has done far approximately 15 years, but cannot sell his business to Salmons to do the same type of business. The Salmans have been operating Hinesley’s business since May. Salmon attributed 10 per cent of the profit to gasoline and six-seven per cent to alcohol. Members of the board stated they would be willing to grant a permit if the gasoline pumps were moved from in front of the store and the gasoline was sold under a different corporation. Snyder had stated the Salmans would consider this possibility. The permit request was for a transfer of license for a business possibly 506 ft years old and not a new application. Salmons plan to continue operating a supermarket and not a convenience store. This is the only supermarket in Oswego where residents can purchase food, gasoline and alcohol. The only other business is a bait shop at the other end of town. Snyder urged the board to amend the rules because of Oswego’s unique situation and said only the board could change the situation. He added gasoline and alcohol had always been available there, even when teenagers frequented the Tippecanoe Dance Hall. Salmons and Snyder were asked to change the circumstances surrounding the petition by eliminating either the sale of alcohol or gasoline by Manuel. It was not indicated when Snyder would re-enter his petition for transfer of license. Other Renewals In other business, the following licenses were renewed. Walter Drugs, Inc., N. J. Perry, president, liquor and wine dealer Joe-Ron, Inc., Wawasee Bowl, J. L. Sheets, president, r 3 Syracuse, beer and wine retailer. James Miller Enterprises, Inc., James Miller, president.
