GETS A SMALL RAISE
Salary OF Postmaster OF Kenosha is
Increased by Department From
$500 to So, ZOO a Year.
SHOWS BIG GROWTH IN BUSINESS

Postmaster-Genera1 Payne has or
dered that the salary of the postmaster
of Kenosha be increased 500 a year,
and, beginning with the 1st of July, a
salary of So, 700 will be paid to Captain
Fraltz and to the men who may be
appointed to succeed him. The raise
is due to the great increase in the
business Of the Office, and it shows
that the increase in business has been
a steady one for the past few years.
Raises have been granted in nearly
all the larger cities of Wisconsin, and
in every case the raise is uniform with
the raise in Kenosha.
For many years the salary of the
kenosha postof6ce has been growing,
and it is noteworthy fact that there
has never been decrease made in the
salary of the office. Kenosha has had
some ups and downs in her manufact-
uring industries dnring the last de-
cade, but she has been exceedingly
fortunate in having new factories,
come to take the place Of those which
were absorbed by trusts or wrecked
by poor business management. The
coming report of Captain Frantz as
postmaster will show a greater ad-
vance for this year than in any pre-
#ceding year, and there is little doubt
but that another hundred dollars will
be added to the salary Of the post
master during the coming year.
