enough saloon men on the city council
to assist these men very materially in
getting their licenses. l don't think
that it is right, after these men being
turned down by the license committee
should be granted a permit"
/ This Alderman Wachs took instant
exception to. I'm going to vote any
d. way please" Wachs shouted. eff
| Stein doesn't want to go near a saloon,

Saloon Men Elated.
The saloon men we're elated over the
motion and crowded out of the council
room to shake hands and pass out ci-
CARS. They were decidedly happy over
the prospect of reopening their empor-
iumbs and took no pains to conceal the
fact Alderman Anderson, however,
threw a damper over the few who re-
NAMED whenA he read law passed by
! the legislature on June 30th which
makes it unlawful to have a bar in any
ex-saloon. "Those bars and appurten-
ances to the old-style saloon must go,

square is not paying business and
with the police department on the job,
running it otherwise, is going to be
extremely precarious, to say the least,
These men will wish that they had not
sunk their money in a license along
about the first of August which is the
maximum time they have of removing
their bars" he said

city in this matter. The law has been
enacted by the state and it is going to
be enforced in the city of Kenosha
whether it is enforced anywhere else
or not. If you fellows go into this
business, you must go into it with this
understanding and with no other idea"
