old Time License Battles Are Assured
to Committee and Other Members Of
the Council - No Change in Car
n1val License Ordinance.

The $4,000 appropriated from the
1916 tax levy for the construction of
channel between the river and the lake
at Broad street may be diverted into
fund for the construction Of big
breakwater to protect the north end of
Lake avenue. At the meeting Of the
Common Council on Monday evening
Chairman Meyer of the harbor and
breakwater committee proposed the con
struction Of such breakWater holding
that it would be necessary to save
Lake avenue from being torn out by
lake storms He declared that the cost
of such a breakwater would be in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and many
favorable to the conversion of the
channel fund to this end 1t was sug-
gested that the present breakwater at
the north end of Lake avenue be ex-
tended TO Bronson street provided the
people owning property along the ave-
nue. would surrender to the city all
claims for riparian rights. The plan
would include the purchase of certain
property owned by i'll. S. VanIngen
along the lake. This property has been
offered to the city at a price Of $4,000.
No definite action in the matter was
taken on Monday evening, but the
committee was instructed to bring in a
report showing plans and estimates for
the cost of the work at the next regu-
lar meeting. IT is certain that the
construction of this breakwater means
the beginning Of work which will
have to be continued and it is probable
that before the council is through it
will be necessary to build a breakwater
from the north end Of the city to the
harbor.
Old Timers After Licenses.
1t was saloon license night with the
council and an even hundred applica-
tions for retail liquor dealers licenses
were presented to the aldermen. The
list contained lot Of the old timers.
There were thirteen changes in the APP
plicants for licenses and in addition to
these changes there were three appli-
cations for new licenses. These in
cluded Peter Krisor and son who would
reopen the saloon at the north end of
Milwaukee avenue; John Newbaler
who wants license for his "garden T"
who seeks to reopen Petersen Park.
All of these places have been closed for
more than year and it is not improb
able that The committee will hold that
under the Baker law no licenses can be
issued for them. Property owners in
tle various sections are certain to make
a strong protest against the granting
of the licenses.
The license committee will start work
investigating the character of appli-
cants at once and the report will begin
coming in at the next meeting of the
council. It is improbable that any IL
censes will be finally acted on before
the last week in June.
To Regulate Guarantees.
On the motion of Alderman Sullivan
the council voted unanimously to have
an ordinance drawn to provide for the
better regulation of quarantine for
contagious diseases. This ordinance
will make specific penalties for failure
to report contagious diseases and will
give the health department wide pow
era to make prosecutions of both ply
sicians and parents. The ordinance
will go to the council at the next regu-
lar meeting The council directed the
chief Of police to render aid to the
health department in the enforcement
of quarntines and it was decided that
if more men were needed for this work
additions would be made to the force
Of the health department. later.
The question of wrapping bread is
still in the hands of the judiciary com
mittee of the council and no action will
be taken on the matter at this time.
This win leave the wrapping ordinance
in full force and effect.
Refuse to Change Carnival Ordinance.
Andrew Anderson wants to 90 into
the carnival business and he appealed
to the council Tor change in the ordi-
nance relating to the licenses to be paid
by the travelling shows. He got an un-
sympathetic response to his appeal.
He declared his willingness to give a
part of the money earned at the ear
I nivals to the Red Cross. He suggested
that he would pay a license of $175 a
week, but the members of the council
insisted that they were pretty well
satisfied with the license of SIS a day
and that there would be no change at
this time. It is understood that a car
nival wants to come into Kenosha next
week and if it does. it must pay the
