and of freedom from those annoyances hith-

The inquiry is easily answered. Seated in

Incomes.
The following are the names of the persons
in Kenosha County who returned to the AS
SCISSOR incomes for the year 1869, and the
amount of income returned by each, upon
which tax of five per cent is paid.
In the TELEGRAPH OF May Goth, there ap-
peared what purported to be the income tax
es of over S. paid by the business men of this
county. This was taken from the Racine
Aduocote without examination, and proved to
be full of errors. Taxes on incomes, car
riages, silver plate and gold watches were
mixed up together. The following is taken
from the books of the Assessor and includes
the incomes only asret urned by the persons
themselves.

ssTo BE, OR NOT TO BE."-By reference to
the Council Proceedings Published in this
issue it will be seen that the question ofthe
purchase of a steam fire engine is to be sub
mitted to vote of the people OF the city,
on Saturday the 18th of this month. The
voters will then have chance to decide
whether they are to have machine that can
do some effective service at fire. or get
along with the present poor macnines ana
worse hose. One good steam fire engine Is
worth, in service dozen CT the Ola mana
engines, can be got in readiness quit ker, ana
will save the chietengineer the trouble OF
drumming up volunteers to man the brakes,
as is very often the case at fires in this city.
The second ward has long been in need OF a
FIRE engine, and we presume they will turn
ont in force in favor Of o steamer. sac
