MILWAUKEE-Recently the City Coun·
cil passed an ordinance, permitting opera.
tors of music boxes in neighborhood loca.
tions, to play until 2 a.m., which is the
time limit given to boxes in business sec-
tions.
_ Such agitation, among civic organiza.
tlOns, was caused by this ordinance, that
th e Mayor vetoed it. Hi veto was upheld
when the Council voted 4 to 131 to repeal
the ord inan ce.
The present city regulations now tand
that mnsi(' may be played in taverns until
12 :30 a.m. during weekday evenings. The
cnrfew is 2 :30 a.m. for taverns in the busi-
nes~ districts.

The sedan was parked at tbe side of the
road. As I drew near I could hear noises.
The body of th e car swayed sligbtly to and
fro. I crept softly around to the side, looked
into the window and saw-a man trying
to fold a road map the same as it had
been.
