The probabilities are that the City
Council will have it's attention directed to
the subject of street Improvements very
SOON Mayor Kupfer has started out
with petition from the property owners
on Main street to the City Council to have
the sewer repaired and the street paved.
The repairs to the sewer mean, taking it
up, digging the trench about four feet
deeper and laying in new and larger
sewer pipe. The sewer ought not to be
less than feet in diameter and nine feet
below the surface at the south end of Main
street with fall that will keep it clean
all the time Mayor Kupfer has fixed his
stakes, he says, at a good sewer, paving
Main street and new engine house for
the city, for this year. That is good and |
every loyal citizen will say Bravo
Mayor Kupfer If you get that done your
administration will be a memorable one"
1t will mark the second step in the tran
sition from the dark ages Of Kenosha to
the Renaissance Mayor Kuper ought to
be not only supported and sustained in
his efforts to help the city get out of its |
village habilamentS and into those of q I
city, but inspired and urged to go ahead I
in his good work The difficulty with |
the mayors plan is that it is not compre- |
hensive enough The council ought to
employ competent engineer to lay out
a system of sewerage for the entire city
with the main sewers running from west
to east and emptying into the lake. The
other sewers ought to empty into these
sewers in conformity to the system of
sewerage adopted by the city There is
no use in beginning at this work in the
middle aud leaving another botch. The |
