noshans who have been seeking Glass
A permits to operate soft drink par
Tors and who have been refused be-
cause of the previous records of the
places where they were to carry on
business, drew to close Monday
evening when the city council brought
these applications out of the commit
tee Of the whole, granted eleven Of
them, definitely denied one and set
next Monday evening as the date for
an adjourned meeting to hear the 9TH
or eight plead their cases.
The action was precipitated by At
torney William E. Runge, who APP
peared before the council in behalf Of
one of the applicants, George w. Zim
norman, who desired to operate soft
drink parlor at 1852 Grand avenue This
permit along with many others had
been withheld by the council on the
basis that the place had been the
scene of law violation in the past and
that no permits would be issued until
the council was convinced that there
was change of ownership and that
no subterfuge was being used in Sc
curing the permit.
Runge Now the Owner.
Attorney Runge came before the
council to show that there had been a
change of ownership there. He stated
that he was now the owner of the
property, later revealing that he held
trust deed for it in lieu of money
owed to him for attorneys fees by
Peter Juskewicz, the former owner. He
emphasized that Zimmerman was
never before connected with the bust
ness there.
"Do you think that man can make
living at this place and operate it
within the law 2" President Afford
questioned Runge.
eyes sir" was the reply
Eve have to put part of the respon-
sibility on the property owners as to
the kind of business which is to be
run in these places" continued Presi-
dent Afford. eff the property owner
permits tenants to continue to operate
premises in violation of the law, the
council must act to prevent them from
having permits to operate. People
who have property can help to bring
about law enforcement and it is hoped
that they will now understand this
situation"
"Will you agree to put Zimmerman
out of the place if he violates the
law" asked President Afford.
sYes sir" answered Runge.
The council then conferred on the
question and in view of the fact that
it appeared to be new transaction,
granted the permit.
Others Come Easier.
This opened the way for the grant
ing of the other permits. 1t was just
like getting the first olive out of a
bottle-the rest came more easily.
Tony Kalla, 800 North Sheridan
road, was the next. Attorney Carlson
appeared for him and after listening
to him, the council decided it was an
other case of change and granted the
permit.
Then came other places--a few of
them those which have been operating
without permits. The council, how
ever, apparently decided that they had
probably learned their lessons and
the majority of them were granted
without much discussion, Others to
receive permits were: BoIeslaw La
bedz, 900 Salem avenue; William
Grove, 495 Elizabeth street; Louis
Robsel, 400 Grand avenue; Sam Lo-
cante, 165 Pearl street; Stanley Jocius,
900 Jenne street; William G. Ander-
son, Anderson park; Earl Kapplan, 156
Park street; Frank zeman, 514 Eliza
Ill,
Fremont avenue.
The application Of Tony Wylezek to
operate a place at 1881 Salem avenue
was denied Martin Schmidt, who had
sought a permit for 772 Milwaukee
avenue, withdrew his application so
tina tho action was necessary in his
case.
Some Are Laid Aside.
The council laid aside several of
the applications so that the applicant
could be notified to appear next Mon
day. Those applications were the
ones of: John Shilko, S3 North Main
street; w. Matazinski, 1017 Prairie
avenue; Joseph Eurevic, 154 Main
street; Creep Kozak, 511 Elizabeth
street; John Shimanowski, 15 North
Main street.
Earlier in the meeting the council
had denied the application of Mary
BerdencN for a permit for 351 North
Main street and had withheld action
on applications made by A. Ambrose,
1854 West Grand avenue, and P. Jewell
for 772 Milwaukee avenue. A permit
was granted to John Robar to operate
q place at 1907 Tanck avenue.
The council also revoked the per-
mits of John Modory 433 Middle
street, Toma Wallis, 6S South Newell
street, and Katherine Germ ohorski,
1919 Prairie avenue.
Receive Two Claims.
Two claims were filed with the
council during the meeting. One was
claim of $4,000 brought by C. S.
Lothrop, who alleges that certain
property was taken from him for Balm
avenue without proper compensation.
The other was the claim of Philip and
Genevieve Burr for $1,000 for the
drowning of their son, Joseph, it be-
ing alleged that the city was negli-
gent in not having warning signs post

lad slipped and fell into the lake
The petition of property owners of
Prairie street for ornamental lighting
to be installed at the expense of the
city was denied. The council also
voted that in conformity with their
past policy the entire expense of paw
