TRUSTEES OF CITY FIRE DEPART
MENT HOLD A SESSION.
INSURANCE AGENTS MUST PAY
That per cent. of all Premiums Which
the State Law Provides for the
Expansion of the De-
partment.

The annual meeting of the trustees
of the Kenosha fire department was
held last night at the office of the
president, john G.. Slater, and consid-
cradle business was transacted.
The board OF trustees have decided
to begin war 60 the bitter end on the
Insurance agents in the city who fail
to obey the state law requiring that
2 per cent. of all premiums received by
agents be paid into the tireman's fund
for the purpose of paying the expenses
of the support of the volunteer tire
companies. For some time some OF
the agents have been disregarding this
law, and during the past year the fire
department has lost over ST., 900 by
their failure to pay in the 2 per cent.
demanded by law. The entire receipts
received by the department from this
source was less than 5000, and it is
estimated tharit should have reached
nearly $4,000.
For the purpose of bringing this
money into the fremen's fund special
committee consisting of G. c. Brown,
Charles Pfennig, George Wallis and
John G. Slater, ex Officio member,
was appointed and ordered to meet
the various insurance agents and re-
quest them to pay at once the amount
that is due from them to the tiremen's
fnnd. If this committee fails to secure
the money the agents will be forced to
appear in court and show why they
should not obey the state law in this
regard.
This same committee was ordered to
confer with the manufacturers and urge
upon them the Importance of insuring
with companies who are recognized by
the state of Wisconsin and which are
required to pay the given per cent of
their premiums to the firemen's fund.
The fire department officials COM
plain that several factories Of the city
have gone out of the state for the
purpose of securing insurance for the
sole purpose of avoiding the payment
of this per cent premium. These
factories have called the fire depart
ment many times during the past year
but have not paid one cent toward the
support of the department. Some plan
should be found either to force these
men to pay this money for the support
of the volunteer fire department or
to provide their own fire protection.
The annual election of officers Of the
fire department will be held next Mon
day night.

ACT ON HARBOR.
CITY COUNCIL GIVE THE SPECIAL
COMMITTEE POWER TO ACT.
MAY PURCHASE MYGATT LAND
And Expend $4,000 of City Funds for the
Purpose of Widening the Harbor-
Congressman Cooper Urges
Immediate Action.

The City Council held an adjourned
meeting at the City Hall Tuesday
evening and little or no important
business was transacted beyond the
fact that the special committee on the
harbor reported in favor OF giving the
committee power to purchase the land
The following report was presented
by the committee and adopted by the
Council
To the Hon. Mayor and Common
Council of the City of Kenosha:
Your committee appointed to inves-
tigate the question of widening the
present harbor and the purchase of
land for that purpose, beg leave to re-
port that they have investigated so far
as able up to the present time the con-
dition of the title of said premises, but
are not yet fully satisfied in regard TO
the same, and that they are still inves-
tigating the situation as fast as
possible.
And your committee would further
with Congressman 81. A. Cooper and
have recently been informed by him
that he desires to know what the city
intends to do with reference to the
harbor with all possible speed, and as
soon as possible, for which reason year
committee would recommend that the
resolution hereto attached be adopted
by your honorable body, in order that
when the title is found perfect, if it be
so found, the deal may at once be
closed, to the extent at least of making
absolutely certain that the property
can be had by the city.
Dated this Sd day OF Jan. A. D. 1899
Orla NJ. Calkins,
Gus Jacob,
Peter Fisher,
Committee on HarbOr.
The resolution which the committee
reported and which was unanimously
adopted was as follows:
Resolved, That the special commit
tee, known as the harbor committee,
heretofore appointed by this council,
consisting of Orla M. Calkins, president
of the council, Gustav Jacob, clerk of
the city council and Peter Fisher, city
attorney, be and they hereby are in
structed, directed, authorized and
empowered to purchase strip of land
ono hundred (l00) feet in width lying
north of and adjoining the north line of
the present Keno5ha harbor, for price
not exceeding the sum of two thousand
(2000) dollars, provided that title to
said premises can be secured which
shall be satisfactory to the United
States government and shall also be
satisfactory to the city attorney"
The passage of this resolution will
greatly simplify the matter of securing
the land for the widening of the har-
Dor, and as the Mygatts have offered
to sell the 100 feet to the city for
$4,000 there should be little delay in
closing the deal
The matter of the Electric railway
and the subject of municipal ownership
of the electric lighting system did not
come before the council, but will be
brought up at special meeting next
Monday evening.
One of the features Of the evening
was The adjoining of aldermen with
roses by Commissioner Dewey as a
New Years gift.
The usual number of bills were
allowed and referred.
