Kenosha County Board of Supervisors
Convened for the November SEES
sion Tuesday Morning.
JOHN 7. ITCH ELECTED CHAIRMAN
County Members of the Board Show Their
COMMITTEES Are Named.

| The County Board of Supervisors
met in their regular fall session at the
court room in the county building Tues
day morning and with the usual prelim-
inaries over, they got down to work.
The first surprise of the session was
sprung when John T. Tigh was elected
chairman of the board.
Mr.. Tigh is the member from
Brighton and has been member of
the board for two terms. The election
of Mr.. Tigh seems to have been ac-
complished by union of the votes
from the country towns with one from
the city. The struggle for the election
came as the first stir of the session.
On the first ballot it appeared that
Fred w. Becker, the former chairman
of the board, would be reelected, as he
received of the 10 votes, but on the
third formal ballot Tigh won out by a
majority of l vote.
In accepting the honor conferred
upon him Mr.. Tigh made a short
speech thanking the members of the
board for the honor bestowed upon him
and giving the assurance that he
would be fair and impartial in his
rulings during the session.
| A committee consisting of Super
visors Runkel, Hensgen, McKesson,
Theleen and Fleming was appointed
by the chair to select the standing
committees for the year, and after this
had been done the board adjourned for
the morning session.
The board presents many new faces
with the opening of the new year and
several Of the old time members who
have been prominent in the affairs of
the county are missing. Among the
new supervisors are L. G. Williams, of
Paris, Evan Powell, of Pleasant Prai-
RE, Thomas Fleming, of Salem, A. ].
Piper, of Somers, Albert ]. Karnell,
Chas. Ell. Gonnermann and Charles G..
The1een, OF tlaA city. Many o. these
men have served on the board in other
years and they will start into the work
with plenty of experience.
1t is expected that this session of the
board will be very interesting one
and many matters of greatimportance
to the people of the county will be
taxed up and acted upon. Consider
able interest is being taken in the first
report of the supervisor of assessments
which will probably be submitted to
the board this afternoon and on which
the coming tax levy will be based.

| the county clerk.
