THE ACTION WAS UNANIMOUS
All Feeling Between The County and City
Has Been Wiped Out and Both Will Unite
in the Great Event-Text of Resolutions
offered by Senator Reynolds as Passed
Board
The city and county are again united
and ali the feeling in regard to the
erection of the soldiers monument has
been wiped out by the action of the
county board this morning when they
passed a resolution to assist in the
celebration attendant on the dedication
of the soldiers monument recently
presented to the soldiers of the county
by Hon. z. G. Simmons. At the meet
ing of the board this morning resolu-
ton was presented by Senator ]. F.
Reynolds asking that the county APP
propriate $3.50 to be used by the Fred
| S. Lowell Post in connection with the
dedication, and the resolution was
adopted by a unanimous vote OF the
board. The full text of the resolution
as presented by Mr.. Reynolds was as
follows:
! 5 Kenosha, Wis, Jan. 9, 1900.
To The Honorable Board OF ,SnPer0tS-
orS of Ken0Sha County:
| CENT EMEN-
| Whereas, a beautiful monument has
recently been erected in Kenosha to
the memory of the brave men who de-
Tended the Union during the great re-
| bel1ion of 1861 to 1865, and
Whereas, it is proposed by the par
ties having charge Of the same, |. e.
the G. A. R., to publicly dedicate said
monument on next Memorial day, it
seems but fitting and proper that Ke-
nosha county should take some part
in such dedication.
| Therefore, be it resolved, that the
sum of 1880 be appropriated to the
Fred S. Lowell Post G. A. K. of Keno
sha county, for the purpose of assist
ing in the proper celebration of the
dedication of the Soldiers monument
so generously donated by the Honor
able z. G.. Simmons, said sum to be
expended under the direction of said
Post through the proper officers for
such purpose.
Respectfully submitted,
J. T. REYNOLDS.
Most of the time of the meeting of
the. board yesterday afternoon and
this morning was taken TIP in the
much discussed subject of the opening
of the road between the town of Dover,
Racine county, and Brighton. Attor-
ney Shedding, of Racine, who has
been retained by the Racine town to
fight the case, presented his argument
to the board and they finally decided
that a committee should be appointed
to fully investigate the matter and
find out just where the county stood.
This committee will make it's report to
the board at the next meeting, in No
vember, when final action on the mat
er will be taken.
| The matter of building an asylum
also came up and it is assured that no
action in this regard will be taken dur
| ing the present year. The committee
reported that they had conferred with
| the State Board of Control and that
body had put stop to all action by
announcing that no permit would be
granted for the erection of the institu-
ton during the present year. The
committee was discharged from fur
Their service, but the matter may be
taken up at the next meeting of the
| Board.
| The board passed a resolution that
no bills would be received for pay ment
at this session after the time for adj
| journment this afternoon.
This afternoon the board took up
the matter of repairing the court house
or the county building but no action
was taken up to the time of going to
press.
