The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1912-04-26

The order will be forced impartially and in the
future women drinking in the saloons of the city must
expect the same treatment as men, There will be
objection to tables in the saloons, but these tables
must be arranged that they open to investiga
ton at any time.
The bar also placed on glass screens that make
it impossible for the officials to into the saloons
at night 1t is ordered that these screens be removed
or changed so that it will be possible to them
after closing hours. All saloons the city must close
at o'clock every night in the week with the excep-
ton of Sunday and Sunday the closing hour is
eight o'clock. The regulations provide that fifteen
minutes after the hour all curtains be opened
and all screens removed to make it possible for
officer to whether not any is in the place.
| want the saloon to cooperate with US in
the enforcement cf the regulations, said Chief OLA
ra, and want them to understand that these regula
tons will be enforced and that every saloon in the
city regardless to the proprietor must live up to the
regulations. There will be no change in the orders
for any and if the saloons do not obey there will
be arrests and prosecutions. These matters have
taken with the saloon themselves and they
understand fully just what is meant with them and
there is chance for misunderstanding. The
police depar will give any other warnings in
regard to these things and the officers on the force
have been instructed to act after tonight. The Sun
day dance order issued months ago will be observed
and the managers of saloons in dance halls
arrange to conform strictly to the new regulations
The regulations with the exception of the order in
regard to wine practically the same as have
prevailed in Kenosha for years. Many of the saloon
of the city have repeatedly protested against the
wine and they have also declared themselves in
favor of proper regulations. 1t is certain these men
will do all in their power to aid the officials in carry
ing out the order. Some of the saloon men who have
been in the habit of running wide open without any
restraint, object to the new regulations, but is prob
able that they will heed them.
There is strong probability that the city coun-
ell will demand further regulation regard the
issuance OF licenses this year and wholesale dealers
who have been accustomed to doing business
tail license will be forced to secure two licenses
Many OF the representatives of the breweres have for
years paid for their licenses and used them exclusive
ly for wholesale business and these will insist
that the agents for other companies be forced to fol-
low the rule
