Final Recommendations for HarbOr
Appropriations Fail to Include
This City in the List.
ALL ESTIMATES ARE REDUCED.
Racine Gets Only Forty Thousand Dollars
aud No Provision Is Made for Wau-
keRan- Kenosha Still LAS Funds

Kenosha failed to have any share IN
the report of General Gillespie of the
monies to be spent by the government
for the Improvement of harbors during
The coming year and in the report that
was made public Sunday night Keno
sha is not mentioned. The appropria-
tions have all been cut down from the
estimates made by the engineers and
many cities along the Great Lakes
which had expected to receive large
appropriations are entirely cut OF.
Poor old Waukegan had expected an
appropriation of several hundred
thousand dollars at least but the gov
eminent seems to have reached the de-
cision that Waukegan is not mt place
for a harbor of refuge and for this
reason no added appropriation was
made. Ii had been hoped that the
government would have arranged for
the completion of the harbor OF refuge
at Kenosha but it seems that the con-
tinued falling off of lake traffic in
Kenosha has been closely noted by the
engineers and government officials
and they have decided that the present
harbor is all that is demanded by the
business interests of the city. 1t was
expected that the government would at
least give a sum of $4,000 for the
necessary maintenance OF the Keno
sha harhor but this amount is not in
Guided IN the printed report. 1t is pos
sible, however, that smaller amount
will he allowedlfor the maintenance
of the harbor
In his report Engineer Warren failed
TO discover any great need tor an APP
prouriation for Kenosha and he stated
ia so @many words that the work
planned for Kenosha had been fully
completed. OF the large appropria-
ton made for Kenosha several years
ago there is still small balance e.
naming and it is probable that this
money will be available for any emer-
gency work that may be demanded
during the course of the next twelve
months.
An extension of the outer break
water is badly needed here ana Tor TINS
reason a special effort had been made
to secure BAN appropriation OF nifty
thousand dollars for the work during
the coming year. The fact that Wis
consin harbors have been sighted in
the estimates will probably result in
hard fight being made az ainst the bill
aud it is possible that no law for har-
Dor appropriations will be enacted.
