E. Meyer, Secy. of this group that there should be at least a certain limitation as to the amount of taferns in each community and suggested one tavern for every 700 pop- ulation. Whereas the amount of taverns in Des Plaines are far in excess of the suggested population and have proven a handicap in increasing the number of residents in our community. 1. Be it resolved that we raise the issue in Des Plaines to one tavern for each 1,000 popu- lation and increase the license fee to *500.00 per year, this fee to be paid in full 10 days prior to Jan. 1st of each year, the full amount only to be accepted by our City Clerk. 2. Resolved that no Liquor License be issued to cigar, confectionery stores, nor restaurants of any character. 3. Resolved that all taverns be assessed the regular license fee as established by our City Ordinance for any commodity sold other than liquor, such license also to be paid in full prior to Jan. lst of each year. 4. Resolved that where licenses are not paid in full by Jan. 2nd of each year the owner of such tavern should have his license revoked and place of business padlocked by Jan. 3rd. 5. Resolved that any type of amusement such as dancing etc. conducted in rear rooms of taverns requires an entertainment license fee as per our City Ordinance, violation of this law to be sufficient reason for revocation of license, this also applies to operating slot machines or other gambling devices on the premises which is also a State Law violation. 6. Resolved that adhereance to the closing law be strictly enforced and that all lights be ex- tinguished and doors locked. 7. Resolved that when a tavern owner discon- tinues business his or her license should be can- celled immediately and no licenseiesued to new owner until the character of the new applicant': is thoroughly investigated, this report to be made to our City Council at one of their regular sessions for their opinion favorable or otherwise, this should be done in order to establish bona fide ownership and responsibility. 8. Resolved that the entire liquor ordinance be rechecked and revised so as to meet the require- ments of the resolutions as submitted to your honorable body, after this has been done 1 sin- cerely hope and pray for its immediate passage.

As I recall it these stop signs have been at this location for some four or five years and were placed there by order of the City Council because of a petition by'residents in this im- mediate area, due to existing hazards caused by speeding traffic. What the residents wish to know is how an individual or group of individuals have the authority to issue an order to remove these "Stop Signs" without first presenting the matter before the City Council for definite action, this body originally issued the order for the installation of these signs at this particular intersection. Because it is impossible to determine definetely who assumed this authority and because of the hazard this situation has created at this intersection the residents suggest of your honor- able body that these "Stop Signs" be replaced on the original pedestals still on location.
