Another enlargement Of the city was
made Monday evening when the City
Council, at it's regular meeting passed
an ordinance providing for the annex
alton of portion of section 6, town l,
of the town of Pleasant Prairie. The
ordinance for the annexation of the
land had been before the Council for
many months, but the Council had not
been able to take action on the ordi-
nance as there had not been sufficient
number of the members present at the
meeting. Alderman Pirsch was the
only member of the Council voting
against the ordinance. BY the pass
age of the ordinance the population of
the city is increased about two hum
dred.
The next matter of interest taken up
by the aldermen was the passage OF
the revised junk dealers license. The
new ordinance provides that the junk
dealers pay thirty-fve dollars for
license and an equal sum for each ad-
ditional wagon.
After the many failures, Kenosha is
to have street fair, and the matter
was brought before the Council Mon

to the Council for the use of the streets
for the week of6 September 10Th. 1t
was stated to the Council that four
teen hundred dollars had been raised
for the carnival and that the success
of the fair was assured. The Council
granted the association the right to
use the streets Of the city but stipu-
lated that the privileges should sbe
under the direction Of the Chief of Po-
lice and the Mayor. The Association
has secured the assistance of one of
the best companies in the West and
the fair promises to be record break
er. The same attractions as were pro
vided for the ,Janesville fair have been
secured for Kenosha and the work of
advertising the fete will be started at
once.
The report of the street assessment
committee in regard to the North Main
street paving was adopted and the

printing of the legal notices. AS IN
the past these notices will appear in
an obscure weekly paper and the con-
tractors will have little chance to see
them.

the matter.
