Cannot Be Refused.
City Clerk Harrington explained to
the council that the wives names had
been used on the petitions as a result
of ruling made by the city attorney
that he could see no reason why a
permit could be refused to a wife, no
matter whether the husband had been
convicted or not" Former City Attor-
ney Slater, now judge of the Municipal
Court, informed Councilman Barden,
who presided at the meeting, that the
cbanEii eouRd not leg Fly ct 70
issue license for the operation of
soft drink establishment because the
place had been under suspicion. He
declared that it could refuse to issue a
permit to any person, convicted of vio-
lating the law, but that this could not
extend to affect the building where the
law was violated.
Upon this ground several other ap-
plications for permits were filed, and
they, along with the wives petitions,
were referred to the committee for
further action.
Hire Another Nurse
The council by an unanimous vote
acted favorably on request of the
Health Board of the city for an addi-
tional city nurse to be put on the force

ant in the Office of the city chemist.

years, the reports showing that Keno
sha is far below other cities of this
size in hiring nurses for the health
department.
Petitions were filed by property own
ers of the sites adjoining the old Coun-
try Club site asking for the building
of sewer to drain off Charles Greek.
This matter was also turned over to
the committee for further deliberation.

president of the council, of the out

between him and representatives Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and North
Shore Electric Railway Company and
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany regarding the issuance of a per-
nit to the North Shore line for the use
of the streets in operating bus line
between Waukegan and Kenosha was
received by the council and endorsed.
1t provides, as stated earlier, for the
line to be operated in such a way as
to eliminate competition with the local
street car line.
At the same time G. E. Thompson,
assistant to the president of the North
Shore lines, presented an amendment
to this report. asking the council at
the same time to open the streets TO a
bus plying between Kenosha and the
lakes, including Twin Lakes and Lake
Geneva.
The council refused to act immedi-
ately on this, stating that it would be
necessary to have the sanction either
of the representative of the Wiscon-
sin Gas and Electric company or of
Councilman Afford, who was also pres
ent at the meeting.
Lake Line Now Assured.
Finally it was agreed that Manager
Koenes of the Wisconsin Gas and Elec-
trio company should be summoned to
attend the hearing. He was summoned
from his home where he had retired for
the night and then reported to the
council that the lake lines had been
agreed upon at the conference. The
council thereupon adopted the report
and the amendment.
The new permit provides that the
bus line shall not pick up passengers
within half mile limit of the opera
tions of the local street car lines. It
was declared by officials Of the North
Shore lines that both bus lines would {
be placed in operation as soon as
possible.
