City Council Refuses to Grant a
Railway Franchise to the
Milwaukee Company.
BIG SEWER CAUSES TROUBLE
Contr actor Fitzgibbon Asks the Council to
Extend His Time, But the Request is
Refused-other Business.

The City Council met in regular ses-
sion at the City Hall Monday night
and considerable business of import
ance was transacted.
AS in previous weeks, the street rail
way men were out in force and the an
nouncement that the Mayor had ap-
proved the Railway company's bond
added interest to the meeting.
Before the Council meeting began
the special railway committee held a
meeting and made an effort to 'get to-
gether" and make a report on the or
dinance presented by the Milwaukee
company. The committee meeting
was not an una1loyed success.
When the meeting had been called to
order by the Mayor the reading of the
minutes required an hour of the time
of the Council.
Under the head of petitions M. J.
Fitzgibbon asked that further time be
granted him to complete the sewer on
Division street. The contractor stated
that it was not possible to do the work
in freezing weather. Aid. Sch1enker
announced that Fitzgibbon was out of
funds and could not get money to pay
his men. The Council refused to ex-
tend the time and the bondsmen of the
contractor were ordered notified of the
action. The sewer committee was or
dered to inspect the brick sewer built
by Fitzgibbon, and if it was according
to plans it will be accepted and in this
manner the contractor will receive
funds with which to complete the
sewer.
The Council took up consideration
of the bond of the Kenosha Gas and
Electric Company and the committee
recommended that the sureties on the
bond be required TO justify before it
was approved. The recommendation
was adopted by the Council.
The annual report of the Chief of
the Fire Department was presented.
1t showed that the department was in
first class condition. The report of the
Chief was accepted and the list of vol
unteer fremen was approved.
At this point Aid. Curtis asked for
report of the Special Railway Com
mittee. It was at once moved to ad
journ, but the vote was tie and the
Mayor declared the motion lost. Aid.
Pfennig then presented a minority re-
port from the committee recommend
ing that the franchise ordinance asked
for by the Milwaukee company be re-
fused. 1t was at once moved to have
the report accepted, but an amend
ment was urged to lay the report on
the table. The amendment was lost
and no vote was taken on the original
notion, as the Mayor announced that
the motion before the house ''didn't
cut no figure" Aid. Curtis moved to
take the matter from the committee
to be acted upon by the Council. The
parliamentary tang1e which followed
caused quite lively discussion and it
was finally decided to vote on the mo-
ton to accept the report and the fran
chise was refused by vote of nine to
FIVE. Those opposing the refusal of
the franchise were: Pirsch, Caster,
Greenwa1d, Weier and Smith.
Council then adjourned.

Motherhood means either happiness
or misery. There is scant happiness for
the mother, who in pain and weakness
brings into the world a weak1ing babe
which she can neither nurse nor nourish.
