Whether they expected business te "pick up," or felt satisfied that they could make money out of a saloon even under present restrictions the appli cants did net divulge. Of all the "new" applicants, however, nt least 80 per cent wcre former holders of licenses. Counting "new" applications and re newals, about 3500 llcense cases were en the 'Court's docket today. In every rase the Court heard the evidence and the arguments of counsel, nnd said de cision would be given later. The Rldgeway Heuse, at the feet of Market street, was ene of the places which asked that its license be revived. The applicant was Augustus Butter worth. The Rldgeway bar closed after prohibition became operative. William H. Ude asked 'for a license for the White Swan" Hetel, at 7200 Germantown avenue. This is one of the most ancient' hestelrics in the city, and has held a license, unfll prohibition, for fifty years. Acted as Ills Own Lawyer B. W.

"Is the neighborhood that thirsty?" asked the Court. "It is net that, .your Hener," said the applicant, "but my neighbor does net keep open at night. I have a res taurant and many of niy patrons would like a glass of beer. Besides there is a church near me and at night after Services there arc. always people who want beer before they go home.
