CONTESTED CASES LEFT OPEN
Council Will Decide on Licenses for
Edelweiss Park and Three Others at
First Meeting to be Held in July
Kr1sor Saloon Must Close Wednesday

Two of the present saloons in Keno
sha must close their doors on Wednes-
day night at eleven O'Clock and the re-
opening of these places will depend
entirely on the future action of the
common council At the meeting of
the council on Monday evening thir-
teen more saloon licenses swere issued,
the committee recommending granting
all but five of the applications pend
ing, where there was not adjudication
of the license right sought. The com
mittee made decision between con
testing applicants in every cases except
in the case Of the three licenses applied
for at 33 North Main street. The IL
cense for the Krisor saloon at the
north end of Milwaukee avenue was
not acted on as the members Of the
committee declared their intention to
take further time in considering the
protest against granting this license.
These two saloons must close up when
their present license right expires on
Wednesday night. Property owners
who may object to these saloons may
then raise the question of license
lapse. 1t is possible that should the
council later grant a license for the
Krisor saloon that the question of its
legal@y may be questioned in court.
There has been very strongS protest
on the part of property owners( against
the re-licensing of this saloon.
Licenses were granted on the recon
mendation of the committee to the fol-
lowing: John Wawioka, Racine avenue;
Ray Majtkiewicz, 322 Milwaukee
avenue; Joseph Durik, 1872 Milwaukee
avenue; Victor Mokus, 308 North Chi
cage street; Joseph Eurewic, 152 Main
street; Joseph Ruppa, 1862 Main street;
Peter Gales, 204 Main street; Heating
and haywood, 272 Main street; Fred
Promo, the Ortiz Hotel; John j. Van
denberg, 4S1 Elizabeth street; J.
Macieejewski SCI Elizabeth street;
Anton Mica, 433 Middle street, and
Michael Kolowsli, 833 Newell street.
Many Of these licenses had not been
granted at the former ssession of the
council on account of duplication Of
applications. In everyscase where the
license was sought by more than one
party the committee decided in favor
of the man who had been in business in
the place during the past year.
The council skilled without division
the applcationifor license at 317 Mil
waukee avenuel and there was not even
so much as a suggestion that the judg-
ment ofthe committee in regard to this
place be reviewed by the council A
representative of "a brewing company
protested against the issuance of the
license to Victort Mokus, declaring that
within short time an action would be
started to eject Mokus from his own
building on No.aChicago street, but the
committee declared that it was not in
terested in the flight between Mokus
and the brewingf accompany and as there
was no charge against the manner in
which heAhad conducted the place they
gave him the license
No action was taken in regard to
new licenses sought for Edelweiss
aJO
son g Placer on Selleck avenue. These
places will be taken up at the next
meeting oftthet council after the com
mittee has0had little more time to
study the4conditions. It is improbable
that neither of the licenses will be
tgranted.
City Clerk Harrington and his as
SsistantsS are busy today getting the
Enthusiastically for issuance on Wednes-
day .andSan of them will be delivered
to the saloons before closing hours on
"Wednesday night. The licenses must
Fbe hanging on the wall before business
starts ON Thursday morning.
The chairman of the license commit
tee has announced that regular inspec-
tions of saloons will be made through
rout the year and that when cases of
violations of the regulations or of the
Estate laws are reported to the commit
tee that immediate action will be tax
en- to revoke licenses. This promise has
been made for several years, but Chair
man Kisten holds that regulations i'm
posed upon the saloons in Kenosha are
entirely reasonable and he holds that
men who fail to live up to these regu-
lations should not be allowed to retain
the licenses.
Property owners residing in the
neighborhood of the corner of Jenne
and Newell street have fled long
protest against this property being
brought into the saloon district. The
protest was referred to the judiciary
committee and there is little reason to
believe that the committee will make
lany recommendation for any extension
or the saloon districts at this time.
Kenosha has its full quota of saloons
and there is no reason to increase the
value of individual property owners
property by giving out license rights.
