Since the Kenosha boys have re-
ceived proper recognition at the hands
of the State an effort will be made at
once to secure the construction of
suitable armory for the use of the boys
The plans for such building have al
ready been made and the liberal peo-
pie of the city will be asked in short
time to assist the boys in the work of
raising the money necessary for the
building. 1t is the intention of the
boys to bnild the armory on the lake
front and it will be Insufficient size not
only to- accommodate the company as
drill hall, but also large enough for a
meeting hall for the public in general
The city has long felt the need of such
hall and it is to be hoped that the
citizens will assist as much as possible
in making the plans of Company L a
reality. The cost of the building, as
planned, will be in the neighborhood of
So, 900.
