ON MITCHELL ST
A quiet move, which will probably
end In another fight between the min.
tsters of Atlanta and the saloon men,
la now under way by the liquor dealers,
who, one year ngo, were balked
efforts to secure further licenses and
privileges to operate saloons on Mitch
ctl street.
After n light In council and council
committee, the committee of tho Evan
gellcal Association bf Atlanta succeed
ed In defeating the efforts of the liquor
men to get Into Mitchell street. The
council at the time decided to refuse
these licenses for one year, which Is up
on July 1. Plans are now being laid
by the saloon men to get the licenses
which they were refused In 1805.
The committee, composed of Dr. .
E. White, chairman; Rev. A. C. Ward
and Rev. A. R. Holderby, have been
Informed as to the purpoee of the
liquor men, and will be at council and
at the police committee meeting In

Dr. Holderby said Thursday that the
committee had not as yet laid out plans
to follow In lighting the liquor men,
but that everything would be done to
put an end to granting more licenses
on Mitchell street. N
It Is probable that'the ministers will
attempt to get through a resolution
relative to this matter more perma
nent than the last.
