henosna is going 10 cOllecC garbage
The City Council just after midnight
this morning told the health and SAM.
tation committee to go ahead with col
lection. 1t ordered the purchase of
two thousand garbage cans from the
Thomey Hardware Company, which
Submitted the lowest bid on them. The
truck t'>hich Is to be used in the collec-
tspn OF the garbage is ready to'be put
into services htnd with promise Of i'm
media5e den Jery of the cans Chairman
Boylan of the committee hopes to have
the truck making regular trips to Ke-
nosha homes for garbage collection
within the next three weeks. The plan
for the Inauguration of the collection
Of the garbage has not as yet been
worked out by the committee. 1t is
to be a plan which will take over one
section of the city for try-out with
the understanding that before the end
of the summer the collection of the gar
bage will be extended to all parts of
the city. 1t is probable that the com
mittee will follow pretty closely the
plan of the city Of Fond du Lac in
this work and many suggestions have
been received from that city rela-
tive to the Inauguration of the
system of collections.
The truck recently purchased by
the city for the work Of collecting
the garbage will be ready within
the next few days.
Police Win Fight.
Police officers and fremen in Keno
sha are not to be black listed In
response to a petition signed by all of
the police and the fremen the council
turned about face on the saloon regula-
tion adopted on last Friday night and
the regulation providing that saloon
men may not sell liquor to police or
fremen in uniform was stricken from
the list of regulations. Members of
the council held that the matter was
taken care Of in regulations govern
ing the police as adopted by the police
and fire commission. Several members
of the police department. were on hand
to discuss the provision with the coun-
Gil but no open threats of a wholesale
resignation of the force was made.
Members of the council held that the
police officers had taken the wrong
view of the proposed regulation,
but on the demand of the officers
it was rescinded.
Milk Ordinances Killed.
There is not going to be any regula-
tion of the milk supply Of the city by
ordinance at this time The judiciary
committee brought in report in
which it held that the proposed ordi-
nance for pasteurization and to throw
other safeguards about the milk sup
ply of the city, was unnecessary. It
held that the state laws gave the
health department sufficiently wide
powers to protect the milk supply and
that for this reason it would not
recommend the passage of any
further ordinances. The report of the
committee was adopted without any
discussion on the part Of the council.
1t is possible that the health board
will later make a new demand upon
the council for milk regulation, but the
fight must be made all over again.
Gordon Gets a License.
The council back-fred on its refusal
to grant a liquor Dealers license to
Nathan Gordon, a Main street saloon
keeper and after a considerable argu-
ment and a plea for the license by the
attorney of Gordon the council voted to
grant the license regardless of the un-
favorable report of the committee.
A bitter personal argument between
Aldermen Sullivan and Schroeder feat
ured the argument over the license
Henry Gerling was on hand to de-
mand that he also be granted a license
but the council hurried into an adjourn
ment just as Gerling was approaching
the mayors desk to present his argu-
ment and the matter was not taken up.
Without division of the council
license was granted to L. A. Pierce
for the saloon at the corner of Park
and Main streets.
The council directed the city attor-
ney to start condemnation proceedings
to secure the Van Ingen property and
the property of Paul Frederick on
Lake avenue for park purposes. This
property is needed in connection with
the proposed breakwater along the
north end of Lake avenue. Efforts had
been made to purchase it, but the alder
men held that the prices asked were
too high and ordered condemnation.
