Z. 4. Cass Editor Of Telegraph Courier:
DEAR SIR:-The U. S. Engineer from
Milwaukee was here yesterday and took
soundings in the basin and will spend
50, 500 in dredging it out. Mr.. Pixon will
do the work and will commence next
week as soon as the dredge gets through
aC Pike Creek. This will be a good thing
for our har0or, as vessels can turn
around after they get inside. IF the city
would do a little towards dredging we
would soon have good harbor There
will also be three cribs put on end of
south piers; this will cost fifteen thousand
dollars. This will help vessels coming in
with north winds and will keep the
heavy swells from running in the harbor
with south winds. If we could get
another appropriation for next season
and build the piers out further into the
lake and do more dredging we would soon
have harbor that our citizens would be
proud Of. Very respectfully yours,
BENJAMIN G. CAMERON
President John T. Yule Of the Board
of Education entertained the gentlemen of
the Board and three other gentlemen last
Saturday evening at his home A splen-
did supper and Cinch with Supt. Maho-
neys stories were the principal features Of
the evening. It was very pleasant oc-
casion. Mr.. Yule has been on the Board
for twelve years now and a more capable,
energetic and successful man never held
his position His last term has been sig
nalized by the greatest triumph Of his life
in the final accomplishment Of his plans
for public school building Our new
High School building will continue for
many years pride and ornament to the
city, but it will always be monument to
the enterprise, unyelding determination,
patient tact and executive ability Of Pres
ident Yule To him more than to any
other man is due the credit
Of securing for this city High School
building which places Kenosha abreast of
the age and gives US something to pointat
with pride and say. Look at that evil
dence Of Keroshas intelligence and pros
perity" Right here is good place to
tell LOT Of msinformed people and some
bIatherskites that that school building has
not cost and will not cost when finished
any such sum as $50, 900 or $780, 600. In
cJudjng e0ergtbi@g, the total cost will be
between $40, 900 and $4,000, and that
with building better than the specifica-
tions called for, with auditorium finished,
