Jitney Drivers And Poolrooms Passed On Only One White And One Colored Toolroom Manager Granted Li cense Thus Far As the outcome of conferences Fri day and Saturday! Mayor W. Ben Coodwin, City Attorney Leigh, and County Welfare Officer Mrs. Lewis nave passed upon the Issuance of li censes to the Jitney drivers and pool room proprietors of the city. Some -were approved and others were not; tut In every instance the record of the Individual under consideration was carefully investigated, and the decision as to approval or disapproval was reached after every aspect of the case had been considered. Various factors entered Into the decisions of the three to whom the final verdict whether or not each li cense should be issued. In the first place, the main determining factor, of course, was the provision of the newly discovered law that prohibited the Issuance of licensee to persons convicted of the transportation or sale of liquor, or having aided, abet ted or encouraged violations of the law known as the prostitution act. Then the committee had to decide whether or not the applicant was fit to operate the kind of business to which the application applied. . "The same qualifications required for a Sunday school superintendent," stated Mayor Goodwin Monday morn ing, "naturally enough would not be required of a proprietor of a pool Toom; but the latter should be a man of good moral character. Then, too, the man's situation In life had to be given consideration. Wherever we possibly could, we issued licenses to men with families, bearing in mind the fact that at this season of the year, with the winter coming on, and work hard to get, the revocation of the license might bring hardship to 'the family." , Of the white Jitney drivers, Dallas Freeman, Thomas T. Nelson, who op urates a bus in connection with his "hotel business, Hillry Cartwright, W. L. Horton, J. M. Johnson and Keeney Crank were granted licenses. Al though his application was signed by T.

B. Flora, C. E. Benton, J. H. Snowden and Dr. Zenas Fearing. Edgar Williams says, however, that lie will keep his cars all running in Jitney service anyhow. Among theVolored drivers, G. W. Johnson, David Overton, Wright Brothers, Elijah Moore and Carl Mor gan were approved. W. Asbury Williams, whose signing freeholders were Dr. C. B. Williams, Dr. W. W. Sawyer, P. G. Sawyer, W. E. Dunstan and S. G. Etherldge, was disapproved, but was granted another hearing for the presentation of additional evi dence. R. C. Webb was also refused license. His signers were F. W.'M. Butler, J. W. Smith. T. J. Markham, J. B. Walston and W. W. Sawyer. The only white poolroom owner who was Issued license to continue In business was J. C.

Parsons, prominent local broker, "prob ably with an initial first floor and operated strictly upon bonded warehouse principles, with full insurance protection against fire and theft." Asked for further details on the warehouse, Mr. Parsons stated Mon day afternoon that he was not yet ready to give full particulars of the plan. He stated, however, that If possible the venture will be floated with local capital, If enough stock can be sold here. Otherwise, he says he Is already assured of sufficient out side capital for the purchase of a site and the erection of the warehouse. The new bonded warehouse, which will be available to farmers and oth ers with cotton and other commo dities to store, will be located upon a site not yet decided upon, but some where on the Norfolk Southern rail road. Patrons will be Issued ware house receipts similar to those used elsewhere, upon which they may bor row money at any bank. Bonded warehouses have already been estab lished in nearly every other progres sive city in the South, and in many cases have been in operation for a number of years. County Agent G. W. Falls, ques tioned about the warehouse plan, stated that bonded warehouses se'. dom cost less than $50,000 to put up. Ordinarily they are built of con crete or brick, with special safe guards against Are, and are operated on a commercial basis, the customer paying a stated rental fixed on the basis of the floor space occupied. The warehouse is specially advantage-, ous to the farmer when prices are low, for he Is enabled to store his commodity In a safe place, hold it for a better market, and meanwhile have the use of such money as he may need by the simple expedient of borrowing on his warehouse recelpU at the bank. At present there is no bonded warehouse at this city. The Eliza beth City Cotton Mill for several years has rented part of the firm's warehouses for the storage purposes only, and those who have wished to take advantage of the bonded ware house plan have regularly shipped their cotton or other products to Norfolk's warehouses. Having his goods stored at Norfolk, many a far mer has negotiated his warehouse re ceipts at a Norfolk bank and has spent his money with Norfolk' mer chants, where, were there a bonded warehouse here, the whole transac tion would have been carried on lo cally. The Pasquotank Cotton Associa tion, organized a year ago among the farmers and business men of this city and section, has purchased and virtually paid for a lot on Road Bteet on the south side of the Nor folk Southern railroad spur that passes through the city south of Church street. The association Is now actively working to establish a bonded warehouse here, which would provide storage facilities on the same plan as that of the community bonded warehouse backed by Mr. Parsons. It Is pointed out that "llzabcth City and the surrounding suction could well support even three or four bonded warehouses, and It U not believed by the promoters of either warehouse project that the one will be In any sense the competitor of the other, s:nco there appenrs to be plenty of room for both.
