County Board Rejects Most Saloon License Applicants
The county board of commissioners at the June term reviewed saloon license requests. John Pietro’s near the poor farm on Bluffton road was denied for failing to advertise as required. William Malle withdrew after officials found he sought the license only to transfer to another unfit person. Martin Pratt’s request for a rolling mills district saloon was refused, likely to appeal to the higher court. Jerry Warcup faced a hearing a week from today over a Huntertown saloon, as residents feel current supply suffices.
