new jITNEY ORDINANCE READY
Council Holds Up Granting Of Thirty
Six Saloon Licenses Pending Further
Investigation - No Carnivals for
City During the Present Year.

Members of the City Council heard
the cry of the children on Monday
night and by unanimous vote the coun-
Gil passed the new ordinance to re-
gulate the sale of milk in the city.
This ordinance will give the Board of
Health definite powers to force i'm
provement in the grade of milk sold
in the city and to eliminate from the
city milk wagon products which are
dangerous to the health Of the chill
dren. The ordinance will become eff
fective with its publication on Thurs
day evening and the Health Board is
planning to start an immediate crusade
to clean up all the dairies in the city
and force them to keep their supply
up to the high standard which is set
by the ordinance.
Under this new city ordinance wide
power is given to the officials of the
health department. to eliminate from
the milk business in Kenosha any deal
err who fails to comply strictly with the
ordinance, it gives the same officials
power to prevent sale of milk i'll Ken
osha which may have come from ques-
tionable dairy farms, it gives power
to the officials to force men suffering
from communicable diseases out of the
milk business, it limits the sale of adul-
terated or skinned milk and demands
that all such milk be properly labeled.
The ordinance is regarded by health
officials as long step forward in the
campaign to save the babies by better
ing the milk supply. Under this ordi-
nance every dirty" milk can not be
sold in the city, and dirty milk
will have little chance of getting by
the inspectors.
New Jitney Ordinance Read
Regulations of jitney busses and
their twin sister automobiles for
hire" took up considerable of the
time of the council Monday evening.
Two new ordinances for the regulation
of such vehicles were sent to the coun-
Gil with the recommendation Of i'm
mediate passage from the Judiciary
committee. The new ordinance pro.
vides for license for jitneys and for
automobiles for hire which pick up
their patronage from the streets of the
city. The license for the iitneys
placed at five dollars for each passenger
as fixed by the bond granted to the jit-
ney by the State Railway Commission
In addition every jitney driver must
have permit and the cost of the per-
nit is to be fifteen dollars. The auto
mobiles for hire" must pay an annual
license of ten dollars to the city and
the fee of the driver of such cars is
placed at fifteen dollars.
These fees are held to be the claim
which the city may have against all
such vehicles for the use of the streets
Neither of the proposed ordinances
will effect the taxiabs which are oper-
ated on telephone calls and they are
made to be effective only to such
vehicles as are being used as common
carriers on the streets of the city.
Both the ordinances contain drastic
regulations for the operation Of The
cars as were included in the jitney or
dinance recently proposed to the coun
Gil. These two ordinances will come
before the council for final passage al
the next regular meeting.
