FAVOR TIE SHERIDAN DRIVE.
Many Kenosha Citizens Sign Petition in
Favor OF the Bill.

Favor OF the Bill.
While the enemies to the Sheridan
drive bill have been busy. the friends
of the measure have not been sleeping,
and when the fight is on tonight in the
committee rooms, several large petit
lions will be presented from this city,
asking that the legislators act favor
ably on the measure. From these pc
titions it would seem that the senti-
ment of the people of the city is largely
in favor of the passage of the bill.
The petitions were brought to Kenosha
yesterday afternoon from Madison, and
while the circulators of the documents
were in the city only few hours, it is
said that they secured the signatures
of over three hundred prominent and
influential citizens. The petitions
were signed especially by business men
and manufacturers, while large num-
Der of prominent men also attached
their names to the documents. Of the
entire number of people to whom the
petitions were presented, only seven
refused to sign, and several of these
stated this morning that they were in
favor of the building of the road but
had refused to sign the petition be-
cause they were unacquainted with
the provisions of the proposed law.
Several representative of the people
who favor the passage of the bill will
go to Madison this evening to present
their side of the question, and the re
suit will be watched with great in
terest.
