In the interests of the taxpayers of
Kenosha County, the TELEGRAPH-CO COURIER
wants to ask what the county wants with
two sets of county offices. Now, that the
county owns the Court House entirely, why
not move the county offices into the vacant
rooms in the Court House and sell the
property in which the county offices now
are located? The rooms in the Court
House were designed and intended for the
county offices, why not use them? The
county could use the money invested in the
property in which the county Offices are To-
Gated to a better purpose than keeping the
Court House empty and useless.
in the month of Octo Der 1868, the bark
g Great West" of Buffalo, the largest vessel
on the lakes at that time was wrecked off
Kenosha. She was laden with coal and in
the storm struck Racine reef. She boun-
ded off again into deep water, but had
sprung such bad leak that the captain
had to beach her, which he did, little
south of Kemper Hall. There was .
heavy gale the next day and the vessel
went to pieces and her cargo of thousand
tons of coal was a total loss. The older
citizens of Kenosha remember this wreck
as they picked up enough coal on the beach
to last them all winter The wrecked
vessel laid in her old bed where she sank,
for 81 years and last Thanksgiving in the
terrible storm that ragged all that day, the
sea was so heavy that it lifted the vessel
and drove it ashore abreast of the
slaughter house, where it can be seen now.
