B. Phillips fpr an Intoxicating Liquor On -Sale License. Roy 0. Sewall, 4800
Vallacher Avenue appeared in opposition to the"&anting of the license. He
said the neighborhood should be protected against the addition of more liquor
licenses. Dr. C. G: Benson, 3985 Wooddale Avenue'feels'it is the feeling of
the group that the -Council should vote this license down. Mr. Colness, 3839 Lynn
Avenue and Mr. Leicher, 4744 Vallacher Avenue said -they were opposed to the
issuance of this license. George Reed, 3824 Kipling said he felt there were
ample places dispensing liquor now and that we need no more. Stan Rudd 4704

they would answer later.

license. A letter from T. R:_Menges, 4221 Salem Avenue, dated December 8,
1951, in which he states his opposition to'the issuance of this license, was

start a movement to get all liquor out of the Village.,
Nick Phillips explained his situation. Said there would be no bar in the
place. The license would be taken out by -himself and he would supervise -the
establishment. Said he feels no resentment against those who oppose him, but
he needs this license to keep the place (Lilac Lanes Cafe) going. There will
be no dancing at the -cafe. -Said he -had a heavg mortgage on the building with
Sons of Norway and Luthern Brotherhood, and heavy taxes. If this license is
not granted, he may have to start a manufacturing plant there to survive.
