ARE AFTER THE LAND
Unused Land Purchased tor Harbor
Will be Re-COnyeyed to the City
by the Government.
CITY WILL CONTROL THE DOCKS
Re-Conveyance of Land of Great Import
ance to City and Must be Made by
Special Act of Congress.

The city of kenosha is making an
effort to get control of the piece of
land lying between the new city dock
just completed and the other property
on the island. 1t is most important
that this piece of land be secured, as
the owner of the land will have COM
p1ete control of the large docks recent
~ built by the city at the demand of
the government. In order to secure
this land the city recently communi-
Gated With Engineer Warren, of Mil
waukee, and the City Clerk has re-
ceived letter from the engineer stat
ing that. he will give the city all the
assistance he cam to secure control of
the land. = In his letter Engineer War
rem states that in order for the city to
control the land they must have this
land re-conveyed to them and this con-
veyancesmust be made by a special act
of Congress. The engineer also stated
that as soon as the dock was satisfac-
torily completed he would report the
matter to the war department and rec
! ommend that the land be given back to
the city. The 1snd in question is a
part of the strip 400 feet in width),
which was recently decided by the city
to the government for harbor pur-
poses. In the construction of the dock
and the,widening of the channel eighty
feet of the land was used, leaving
twenty feet which is still held by the
government. AS long as the govern
ment holds this lard the government
will control the dock and for this rea-
son the transfer is very much to be de-
sired. AS the dock is large one it is
probable that in the near future it
will have a great value and the city
will secure large revenue by leasing
the docks to traders.
The matter has been referred to
Congressman Cooper. and he will be
asked to push the legislation neces-
sary for the transfer of the land to the
city. The City Council will probably
act on the Suggestion of the engineer
and at once take steps to see that the
space between the dock and the shore
line is filled jim, as it seems certain
that the safety of the dock is IN jeop-
ardy until this work is done. AT pres
ent the city can secure the sand free
of charge and the only cost1of filing
in behind the dock will be the cost of
hauling and dumping the sand.

CONCERT HALLS TO BE CLOSED
Police Serve Notice That Concerts in Sa-
looms Must be stopped.

The police of the city are continuing
their war against vice in Kenosha and
this morning Chief of Police O'Hare
made the rounds of the saloons to in
vestigate the concert halls. Music in
the saloons to lure in customers is un-
der the ban and the keepers of the al
legged concert halls have been notified
that the musical features must be elm
mated. Many complaints have been
made by citizens residing near the So
called concert halls, and it appears
that the saloon men have violated the
trust that the officers have placed in
them In some cases it is stated that
the saloons are kept over long after
the hour prescribed by law and that
the propri etor has allowed the place to
become a nuisance by people gather
ing and singing at the top of their
voices. The saloon business may be a
legitimate business, but when the pro-
prietor for the sake of making business
better employees crowd of jubilee
shouters to sing all night, he carries
the legitimate part too far and the sa-
loon becomes a nuisance. There are
only a few saloons of this sort in
Kenosha, and if the police carry out
their plans the number will be won
derfu1ly less in a short time.

FIVE IN ONE NIGHT.
This is the Splendid Record of Kenosha
County in the way of Burglartes.

1t seems that Kenosha county is just
at present in the hands of the burglar
fiends and the reports from the north
ern part of this county and the south
ern part of Racine county show that
the burglars are carrying things with
a high hand. On Tuesday evening the
local police reported that FIVE houses
between this city and Racine were en-
tered by burglars. The burglars were
of the most desperate sort and several
exciting fights were reported between
the househo1ders and the would be de-
spoilers. Very little property has been
lost as a result of the raids, the great
est loss reported being a watch and
chain. At one house the burglar was
cornered i'll one of the front rooms and
he 1eaped through a window and es-
capped. The farmers are up in arms
and are discussing plan to organize a
farmers protective association to pro-
tect their homes and property The
city and county officers seem to be I'M
able to cope with the forces of the law
breakers. Many crimes have been
committed, but the number of arrests
is far below the number of crimes, In
many cases houses are entered and no
clue to the robbers is ever found, while
when clues are found that prove to be
insufficient to catch the burglars.
Kenosha county is not alone in her
glory, as reports from all parts of the
country show that there is an epidemic
of crime and this is only one of the in
tested sections.
