Kell Houssels 19-23 Fremont Retail Tavern WESTERN CLUB Bennie Binion, J.S. Pappas 109 Fremont Retail Tavern Thereafter Commissioner Peccole made the following motion; "I feel that the applications for transfer of a liquor license and the race horse book to the Howdy Club should be denied at this time and that those licenses should be revoked for the reason that those licenses were shown inactive for a considerable time. Those owners were given a chance to put them in use, and they did not, they merely applied for transfer, which makes it appear they were trafficking in these licenses. I, therefore, move that the appli­cation for transfer of the liquor licenses of J. K. Houssels to the Howdy Club should be denied and that the race horse book license from Moe Sedway to the Howdy Club should be denied, and that those licenses be revoked for non-use."
