WOULD BAR CAN
RUSHING BY KIDS
Konkel's Proposed Amendment To
Garvey's Ordinance Holds Up
Measure

The addition OF two words as an
amendment 10 an ordinance introduced
by Aid. Garvey TO keep children out
OF saloons, was sufficient to raise u
little furry in the council Tuesday
night, and TO prevent the passage OF
the ordinance for week. Inc meas
ure forbids saloon-keepers to allow
girls under l6 years of age or boys
under IA TO enter saloons TO sell pa
pers. chewing gum or other wares. IT
was framed by Aid. Garvey. who is
himself saloonkeeper aud who de-
clared that the presence OF children
in saloons Is the most undesirable
feature OF the business. The ordinance
also forbids girls under 10 years OF
age selling any wares upon the streets
after z o'clock In the evening.
After the third reading of the ord
nance, Aid. Konkel had an amend
ment inserted. the words "or pur-
chase" after the clause referring 10
children selling goods In saloons. The
effect Of this would be to prevent
children from going TO saloons TO pur-
chase beer by the pail for older per-
sons. Aid. Goeschel wanted TO look
| this over carefully and the matter
went over for a week.
Aid. Gutman had the ordinance
granting a franchise 10 the Detroit
| Utilities Co. to collect paper and waste

sent back to the health committee
This is to give the peddlers OF the
city a chance to protest. M. Snitz

N0RTH-END MANUFACTURERS
WILL BE BROUGHT TO TIME
Must Agree to Grade Separation Pro-
gram or Lose sidetraeks In
TrombIey-ave.

A rough Jolt was dealt TO a group or
north end manufacturers when the
council adopted resolution. Tuesday
night. authorizing the department. OF
public works, on the direction OF the
chairman OF the council grade separ-
alton committee. TO tear up the rail-
way tracks In Trombley.aye.- between
Wooiward-ave. and Russell-st.
These manufacturers have blocked
the progress of grade separation by
Withholding consent to the vacation
of these tracks TO the railroad com
pany. and the council now proposes
To make them assent TO the grade sep
aration program at once or give NJ
their side tracks.
The Trombley-ave. tracks have
formed the puzzle all through III the
effort to get grade separation on the
east side of Woodward-ave. and have
held up work for six months. IL was
necessary for these tracks TO be eth
er separated In conjunction with the
main tracks or else abandoned.
Years ago the city gave 10-year
grant to the Michigan Central to run
spur track through Trombley-aye. to
accommodate the car shops on Rus
sell-st. From this spur track sidings
have been run OF for the use OF 9
number of factories and big concerns
including the Ford. EMF and Rega
automobile factories. the Clayton
Lambert Co.. the Superior Manufac
turing Co. and others.
The old grant has run out. and thu
I city cannot give another except b!
holding an election. In this situation
the only way to allow the railroad
tracks TO remain would be to vacat'
the street TO the railroad company
requiring the consent OF the adjoining
property-owners.
These have held back and have
been very unapproachable to city offi
