The "Sane Fourth" went over the
top in Kenosha on Monday evening
when the common council acting on
the suggestion of the police department.
unanimously adopted resolution pro-
hibiting both the use and sale of fire
works in the city for the celebrating
season. The resolution was adopted as
a war measure.
The members Of the council held that
if any powder was to be burned it should
be burned over in the trenches in
France and not on the streets in Ke-
nosha and the Chief OF Police was di-
rected to see to it that the resolution
of the council was endorsed to the let
ter his year. The resolution has the
full force and effect of a city ordi-
nance. The dealers in the city who
have stocks Of fire works on hand
must hold them over until the war is
over. People who seek to bring fire
works in from other cities will be pro-
hibited from the use of them.
The order covers the use of any
kind of explosives.
Copette Coming to Kenosha.
Kenosha is to have its first woman
police officer as the council by UNI
apimous vote gave its sanction to the
plan of the Police and Fire Commission
to add woman to the Kenosha police
force, The need of woman officer
has been emphasized in the past weeks
on account of the presence of the large
number of soldiers and sailors in the
city and the new member of the de-
partment will be expected to give her
work to well fare work among the
young girls Of the city. The plan has
been followed in other cities and it
came to the council with the I'M
animous endorsement of the police and
fire commission. The woman who is to
have the honor of being the first wo-
man on the police force will probably
be named at the next meeting of the
police and fire commission.
Milk Ordinance Reaches Council.
The long expected ordinance having
for its purpose the safe guarding of the
milk supply of the city reached the
council on Monday evening Tt enters
into every phase Of the milk business
in the city and places heavy restric-
tions on the business but makes no
provision for either Qualification or
pasteurization Of milk. tt demands a
license for all milk dealers and under
this license the health department Is
given wide powers to safe guard the
milk supply from the pastures to the
home. The ordinance gives the health
commissioners the right to revoke Ii
censes when milk under the standard
for butter fat or for cleanliness is
found to have been sold. Provision is
made that the city license tag be car
ried on every milk wagon and the
health commissioner is given power to
close up indefinitely any milk plant
that is found to be maintained in an
unsanitary condition. The ordinance
was given its first reading on Monday
night and it will come up for its sec.
ond reading and passage at the next
meeting of the council. Tt is said that
many of the milk dealers of the city
have declared their willingness to urge
the passage of the ordinance but it is
not improbable that it will find con.
siderable opposition before the final
vote on it is taken.
Saloon Men Seek Licenses.
Every Kenosha saloon in operation
on May LIST will be in operation during
the coming year if applications for Ii
censes made to the council on Monday
night receive favorable action. Re
CARELESS to the closing order of the
Federal government and regardless Of
the bottle clause all of the saloons
have asked for license for the new
year. The applications are now in the
hands of the license committee for in
vestigation. There has been som,
changes in the personelle of the keep
ers of the places but for the most part
these changes concern saloons in the
outlying districts and all of the ole
timers in the down town district have
elected to take another chance against
state and federal restriction Of the
business. The licenses will be acted
on at the next meeting of the council
but it is probable that it will be neces
sary to hold special meeting at thu
end of the month to clean up all thu
work of issuing the licenses.
