The petitions asking for the estah-
lishment Of -arterial highways here de-
clared that such highways would as

num- Of acc s.ss Kenosha.
'sFrom observations and experience"
declared tfe petitioners, I'VE belive
that practically every city the size of
Kenosha has already provided such ar
terial highways aud it is our exper-
fence that such highways tend to pro-
tect life and property"
No Streets Suggested.
In the informal discussion of the
petition, the members of the council
showed that they we're in f4vor of
establishing some sort of an arterial
highway system here. 1t wys sug-
gested that the making of certain in
tersections arterial highway stops
might solve the problem here without
hating traffic at all cross streets on
the highways designated as arterials.
No streets were named as probable
arterial highways, this to be brought
out in the report Of the city manager.
1t was suggested that the city plan
ming commission would be asked to
consider. the problem and bring in a
report to the council regarding what
major streets should be named as ar
terial highways.
Grant Class A Permits.
The last of the petitions for Class
A permits were presented to the coun-
Gil and all that were KID" by the
chief Of police were granted. In the
list were several applicants who in the
past have been convicted of violating
the law but who have served their year
of penance and who therefore cannot
be deprived of a license in keeping
with the terms of the law.
The question of whether or not
soft drink establishment of the kind
requiring a Glass A permit" could be
excluded from resident districts by the
provisions of the zoning law was
brought up and investigation revealed
that seven of the requests would be
affected by such a ruling. It was held,
however, that the coming law was not
actually in effect yet and for that reas-
on the permits could not now be denied
1t seemed certain, however, that in
another year Glass A permits would
not be issued for the opening of es-
adjustments in distinctly residence
zones.
Few to Buck Law.
City Manager Osborn told the coun-
ell that word had reached the police
department that few former Glass A
permit holders had refused to take
out permits for the coming year and
had made brags that they would oper-
ate without a permit. 1t was stated
that drastic action would be taken to
enforce the ordinance in order that
the regulation of such establishments
should not be lost by the city
There seems a Likelihood that the
ordinance will be tested in the courts
Immediately and city officials have no
doubts but what the courts will up
hold the contention Of the city that
injunctions may be secured to close
all places where permits are not held.
Report on Bank Contract.
City Manager Osborn reported to the
council the agreement which has been
reached with the banks Of the city
for the city to receive larger interest
returns on city deposits as outlined
in previous announcement The new
arrangement will mean saving of
more than $1,000 year to the city.
The council also received from the
banks formal protests against the tax
assessments made against them. It
was alleged that such assessments
