ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, Ponders Changes In Tavern Regulations iii; Passage Of Annex Wuellner Addition Delayed Creation to alleviate the 1 pHgh of. tee taverns, all df which if would be run to the present Wood regulations were Jm upon them, is women- W.t&flty" holding up the final step In Sflftexing Penntagroth and Addition to the City River. r. 1 On -Sept. fl residents pf the A' area, 'in an election staged at direction of the, County voted to annex to the The area has three -ffev'efns and a package liquor 'and the three taverns, lo' Seated on A 1 1 Edwardsville between Sixth street and the township hospital, have been operating free-style as far as closing hours are concerned.

Final step in the annexation process will be the acceptance of the area by the city through passage of an ordinance. Pass age of such an ordinance has been held off for a month while members of the City Council ponder the question of whether not they will first alter the jc municipal tavern regulations to the taverns in the area to continue to operate some- at least, along the same "Klines; as they are now running. Owners Object an, informal, meeting Asi the City Council, r7I represented Manning, attorney, they had long operated as and that the difference a- between profit and loss was bus- ii-iness after regulation closing held that all other situated, will con- to 'operate beyond the re- si gular closing hours and present River tavern regulations would result in discrimination 11 against them. "Reportedly, out of five of the council have agreed to the reasoning embodied in this statement of the case, while the fifth, holding that taverns, as such, are an evil to be eliminated (and the sooner the better) is reportedly holding out for annexation and a continuance of present municipal "tavern regulations, letting the chips fall where they may. The council majority, on the hand, reportedly leans to ward a revision of tavern lations on the theory, that loca taverns are a far-cry from whai they once were when whole pay checks were grabbed up by op en poker' games, and, through the customary pay-off system tavern owners and gamblers actually were in municipal power The majority seems to contend that taverns, as such, have been a municipal whipping boy long enough and that common justice would not run' them' to the wal since they operate as legitimate businesses.

May Hike license Fees The delegation which mei with the council last week suggested an increase in the license fee: in exchange'for a 3 a. closing hour, for taverns which also deal in food. This brought on discussion of the possibility of two types licenses one, to be extended to down-town and neighborhood taverns for the present fee and calling for a 1 a. m. closing hour, the other to be extended to outlying taverns which must meet out-in-the-counry compei- tion and calling for a 3 a.

m. closing hour, for an increased fee, providing the taverns also handle food, Operators of taverns now located within the municipality have reportedly objected strenuously to this proposal and the council is now said to be leaning toward a complete revision of the license set-up with a view toward extending the closing to 3 a. m. for all taverns, regardless of location. However; to litigate the situa- tipn somewhat, a proposal to de- crese the license fee for taverns which would agree to remain 'closd on Sunday, was advane- "ed.

This plan would enable tavern owners who remain clpsed -on Sunday to operate for a annual fee than the int 5560.

Kinney Cites Need For Juvenile Home In Madison County WOOD RIVER The need of county juvenile detention home or the setting up- of several such establishments with the basic requirements for housing juveniles who must be held temporarily In custody of the County Court, was emphasized in a talk by County Judge Michael M. Kinnoy before Wood River Rotary Club at noon Monday at First Presbyterian Church.

Illinois statute provides that juveniles under a certain age may not be placed in common jails and sometimes' there is need for a temporary home for children, the judge said. He said that St. Clair County has, In the past, allowed Madison Counto to use its detention, home in cases of dire necessity. "What, we need Is a juvenile detention home of our own," Kinney said. "I am not saying we need an elaborate set of buildings; we need a hold-over shelterhouse beca'use sometimes something must be done about juvniles and it must be done in a hurry." Kinney suggested that there was need of such an establishment in several parts of the county.

The statements were part of a talk in which the judge outlined the duties of the county court. The jurisdiction of the court, he said, was limited in criminal cases to misdemeanors and in civil matters to cases involving less than 2,000. In addition, he read from the statutes the other duties of the court which included the appointing of trustees for levee districts, township or county hospitals, the fixing of inheritance taxes in estates, the appointing of members of the board of review, airport authorities, sanitary districts, the handling of incorporation matters of cities and villages and the handling of juvenile ens- es. The handling of juvenile cases was outlined in brief. The finding of foster homes for wards of the court Is simple enoitRh for most cases of children who are victims of neglect.

finding a home for boys who hnve police records is often difficult and frequently we don't care to recommend that the boy be taken into a private home," Kinney said. The judge was introduced by a Manning, program chairman. Sam Fisher fact that club announced members the will have a steak dinner and stag pavty this evening at Westerner Club.
