Near beer saloons face hard times in Atlanta
The police committee reported that many near beer saloons in Atlanta are not prospering, with an estimated fifty to sixty firms likely to close this year. Renewals for 152 licenses were favorably noted, while three specific saloons were referred for investigation. Locker clubs largely passed renewal, with nineteen of twenty approved and one denied. The committee approved 52 pool room permits, and no protests disrupted the proceedings. A proposed ordinance would bar girls and young women from locker clubs after their mothers protest, with violations risking license forfeiture. The process included extensive applications detailing officers, members, dues, and finances.
