Las Vegas, Nevada March 28, 1946 At a recessed regular meeting of the Board of City Commissioners held this 28th day of March, 194b. Meeting called to order by his Honor, Mayor E. W. Cragin, at the hour of 2 P.M. with the following members present: Commissioners Baskin, Bates, Clark; City Attorney, C. Norman Cornwall; City Manager, T. E. Fennessy; and City Clerk, Helen Scott Heed. Absent; Commissioner Corradetti. At this time, Mayor Cragin made the following statement: "An order was heretofore made by this Board wherein no more liquor licenses would be issued by this Board until we could arrive at a fair and equitable manner to handle licenses. This Board has held many informal meetings and after much discussion has arrived at the following decision with references to liquor licenses. In formation has been brought out for us that liquor licenses in most states are granted on the bases of population; namely, one tavern to each one thousand population, end one liquor store to each one thousand population. We feel that to use the figures to our last census would not be in order. Therefore, we have used as a basis for our figures for granting licenses to liquor stores and taverns the estimated population based on school attendance. We have 3,580 children attending school in Las Vegas, and on the basis of five to one have estimated the population at 17,500. At the present time we have over 18 liquor stores and over 18 taverns, and in as much as some applicants for liquor stores have had applications in with this Board prior to the time this oner was made, it is the concensus of this Board that licenses heretofore filed for liquor stores be granted, as of this date, and that applications for taverns be denied. In granting additional liquor stores, we feel that it would be in line with the number of taverns now doing business in Las Vegas, hence no more than 25 package licenses will be granted, and no more than 31 tavern liquor licenses, until such time as the population justifies it." Commissioner Bates moved that the foregoing statement be approved and adopted. Motion seconded by Commissioner Clark and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Baskin, Bates, Clark, and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Commissioner Corradetti. Commissioner Bates moved that the following renewals of gaming licenses be granted, and further that all applications for renewals for gaming license be granted for the second quarter of 1946: ACE BAR M.
