THURSDAY, NAY 81. 1908.

IN the opinion of many Of the men
familiar with the way the present
sewer system is laid out the fears that
the main sewer will be overloaded if
any more branch sewers are let in are
not we'll founded. 1t develops that all
Che trouble heretofore has been with
branch sewers and that so far as is
known the main sewer has not been in
any way overloaded at any time.
When the branch sewers, like the one
on Milwaukee avenue for instance,
were put In no provision was made to
take care of the new houses that have
since gone up on the streets'and con-
nected with the sewer. Most of these
sewers were tapered off too quickly
and instead of running fifteen to
eighteen inch pipes out to the limits of
she sewer district eight and ten inch
pipes were put IN. 1t is from the sec
tions of the city served by the small
pipes that the complaints of over
crowded sewers come every time there
is any heavy rain. The Market street
sewer was enlarged at, the time the
Sterling factory (now the Jefery auto
mobile factory was built and the en-
gineers who laid out the sewer system
evidently intended the Jenne street
sewer to be the main drain from the
Balm subdivision and the western sec
tion of the city for an eighteen inch
sewer was put in on that street clear
out to the western limits of the present
sewer district. When the ordinance
now being drawn up by the Judiciary
committee taking the rest of the city
into the sewer district is passed it will
be possible to give the western part of
the city sewer accommodations at little
or no expense by building branch
sewers to connect with the two large
sewers on Market and Jenne streets,
which are now comparatively ~~litt1e
used. This will relieve the present
7ntolerable situation ito great extent
and postpone, the evil day1when the
city has to change the entire sewer
system for years to come. 1t is we'll

Gil seeming Q take little account of the
troubles of the police commission to
secure men. The salaries as fixed are:
Chief Of police, 5000 annually; patrol
mentor first year of service, $50 a
month; after first year, SIS a month.
The salary of the chief of the fire de-
partnent is placed at $500 annually and
that Of the iremen at the same figure
as the patrolmeG on the police force.
Ihe ordinance was passed by almost a
unanimous vote.
10 Collect Personal Tax.
The report of the tax gatherer to the
Council showed that personal taxes TO
the amount of S161 rs were still uncol-
lected, and the City Attorney was or.
dered to at once take some action TO
collect this money. Several of the
larger amounts returned as unpaid are
due from firms which have recently
gone out of business in Keuosha, and
these sums are regarded as uncollect.
able. 1t is possible that the city NAV
collect some forty dollars of the entire
amount.
Other Council Business.
The committee on judiciary which had
been looking into the matter of the
opening of Collins street recommended
that the petitioners be allowed to with.
draw the petition, and it will be with
drawn. This action was taken on &C.
count of the fact that the petitioners
made no effort TO raise the money
needed for the opening of the street.
The Clerk was ordered to have a
sidewalk ordinance prepared providing
for the immediate construction of all
walks which have been petitioned for
and granted by the Council.
After the allowance of the usual
number of bills, and the usual routine
business, the Council adjourned.

MORE than p per cent. of the men
who enlisted in the army for the war
with Spain, have applied for pensions
and new applications are coming in
daily. The number of applicants under
the head of 'invalids" is over $1,000,
and nearly 10000 invalid pensions
have already been allowed. Since the
recruiting officers had practically the
pick of the youth of the whole land to
choose from, and only those were taken
who were supposed to be in perfect
physical condition, the conclusion is
irresistible that either the examining
surgeons did not do their work well or
that some of the numerous applicants
are trying to coin their patriotism into
dollars.

RAMBLER WINS AGAIN.

Kenosha Automobile Takes First HOnors
In Hill Climbing Contest at Minneapolis,
There is great rejoicing out at the
Rambler Automobile Works on account
of the fact that the Rambler Auto won
a noteworthy victory in the hill climb
ing tests at Minneapolis last Saturday,
All the leading makes of autos were
entered for the contest, and for this
reason the victory of the Kenosha
carriage is one of more than usual
note. In the two thousand pound class
the Rambler was pitted against the
Cadillac and the Olds. In the contest
the Cadillac finished second and the
Olds, which is considered the chief
rival of the Rambler, third. Time,
Rambler 1:55 Is; Cadillac 1:56; Olds
2:08.
1t is an interesting fact that the
Rambler carriage won the contest a
year ago against machines of very
nearly double its horse power.

Church People Garry the Fight For
Better Sabbath Observance to
the City Council.
NEW SEWER PLAN IS FAVORED.
City Council Decides to Make Kenosha
Cleaner by Enforcing Law Against the
Deposit OF Rubbish on Streets.

The efforts of the church people of
the city to secure changes in laws eff
fecting the observance of the Sabbath
in Kenosha have finally reached the
Common Council and at the meeting
Of that body Monday evening strong
petition was presented by the leaders
in the reform movement.
The petition was signed by some
thirty well known leaders ia reform
work and it was further stated that the
petition had been endorsed by three
hundred people at Park avenue M. E.
church Sunday evening. The petition
caused ripple of excitement in the
Council meeting, but nothing was done
to it more than to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of it as far as the city could, The
remainder of the petition was referred
to the town of Pleasant Prairie. The
text of the petition follows:
"To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Kenosha:
We as citizens of Kenosha believe
with Washington and Franklin, that
treason and experience both forbid
us to expect that national morality can
continue in the absence of religious
conviction" that Laws can do moth
ing without morals in a government
like ours.''
We believe that the orderly, wor-
shipful Christian Sabbath has in the
history Of our people secured the best
opportunities for establishing re1ig-
ious convictions and building up the
national morality.
We, therefore, view with alarm the
rapid growth of Sabbath dissertation
and other lawlessness in our city. We
note especially the vicious character OF
some recent Sunday theatres, the fact
that base ball game has been SEIZED.
uled for Kenosha on almost every Sab.
bath during the season, and that sa.
loon keepers violate their contracts by
doing business on Sunday and by sell
ing to drunkards and minors.
We feel that the day ordained for
rest and worship is being changed by
these things into one of unwholesome
excitement, producing physical ex.

The price of good lot in Kenosha
is now from Is to SO per cent. lower
than it was year ago and more than
that much lower than it is likely to be
a year or two hence. 1t is true that
prices of building materials are high.
but the kind of houses needed in Keno
sha can be built even now at from
$1,000 to 1880 including the price of a
lot. These houses will rent readily at
from one hundred to one hundred and
fifty dollars year and the difference
between the interest on the construc-
ton price of house, say from sixty to
ninety dollars year, and the amount
paid for rent will quickly offset any
excess in cost of material to say moth
ing of the increase in the value of the
real estate. The present shortage of
hours is not caused by any lack of
building in the city during the last two
or three years for more houses have
been put up IN that time than ever be-
fore in the history of the city-but Ke-
nosha has made such rapid gains in
population and her manufacturing in
dustries have so increased that the
supply has not kept pace with the de-
mand. If the Council extends the
sewer district the unequalled opportu-
nifty for profitable investment created
by the extraordinary demand for
houses will doubtless be very general
ly taken advantage of by the people Of
the city and the lack of accommoda.
tio-os which has become so serious a
check on the prosperity of the city will
speedily be supplied by new houses put
up by our own people.

with many difficulties. A discussion
Eof the matter vas engaged IN by the
members of she Council and it is evil
dent that there will be great deal of
opposition to tle plan that IS now be-
ing suggested and several of the mem
bers of the Coiensil gave II as their
opinlron that such an ordinance eould
not be passed.
Macy people resisting IN the present
sewer districts of the city have made
complaints on the proposed ordinance
holding that the people who are now
demanding the BUILDING of the new
system have resided in Kenosha bat a
short time and that they never paid
anything toward the construction of
the present main sewers. No action
of definite nature was taken Monday
night but the matter will be taken up
at the next meeting.
Fora Cleaner Kenosha.
Kenosha is to be a cleaner city if the
orders of the Council are to be carried
out. The chief of police has been
ordered to enforce to the letter the law
which makes it an offense to throw
anything in the way of rubbish on the
streets of the city. The Council
ordered two hundred copies of this or
dinance published and they will be
posted about the city ia conspicuous
places. The ordinance provides fine
of from one to fifty dollars for each
offense and it is possible that the
movement, if properly carried out, will
result in the streets of Kenosha being
kept scrupulously clean.
In this connection F. c. Schroeder
appeared before the Council aud made
strong complaint on the fact that the
carcasses of dead animals and refuse
from slaughter houses had been scat
tered along the lake shore just south of
the city limits. In this regard the
Council ordered the city clerk to notify
the town board of Pleasant Prairie to
abate the nuisance at once. If this no.
tice fails to have the proper effect the
matter will be laid in the hands of the
State Board of Health and the town
board of Pleasant Prairie will be
forced to act.
GFoeger Case Laid Over.
The trial of Adolph Groeger on a
charge of violating the ordinances of
the city in regard to the regulation of
saloons was not taken up by the Coun
Gil Monday night on account of the
fact that the officials failed to get SER
vice of the complaint on the defendant
in the action. Groeger went to Michi-
gan few days ago and when he re-
turned it was too late to secure service
on him In time to have the hearing
Monday night. The hearing of the.
Groeger case will be made the special
order for the meeting on next Monday
evening.
Police Salaries Fixed.
The ordinance fixing the salaries of
the police officers as presented at the
last regular meeting of the Council
was passed Monday night without
amendment, the members of the Coun-

enough for the Council to plan COM
plete change IN the entire sewer sys-
tenn of the city some time in the future
but in the present condition of the city
finances, any move to increase the ex-
penses will hardly be approved by the
taxpayers.

Manufacturers Favor Sewers.
The manufacturers of the city are in
favor of the new plan to provide better
sewerage for the people of the city and
at the meeting Monday night letter
was received from the Manufacturers
association voicing sentiments in favor
of the new plan. The letter follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council of the City of Kenosha:
Gentlemen-Resolved; that we, the
Manufacturers Club of Kenosha, learn
with pleasure of the action of the Com
mon Council on Monday evening, the
