FIRST IN THE STATE
First National Bank of Kenosha
Heads the Roll of Honor
for Wisconsin Banks.
ONLY FIVE BANKS QUALIFIED

A high honor has beer accorded t0
the First National bank of. this city
as the roll of honor which was issued
by the "Financier" of New York on
Monday names the Kenosha bank as
the first on the roll in Wisconsin
There are but five banks in the state
which are given any position and 1t is
high honor for Kenosha to have tie
bank which heads the list.
The "Ro1l of honor" for National
banks in the United States is table
prepared by the NewoYork Finaucser
from statements made to the compScoI-s
Ter of the currency the date chosen
being September, the statements
made then being published in large
volume issued by the government To
secure place on the roll of honor 4
bank must show surplus and undivfd-
ed profits equal too or in excess of its
capital stock-that is assuming the
capital stock to be 100 per cent, the
profits and surplus must exceed that
percentage. In other words a roll of
honor bank has on hand in profits and
surplus an amount exceeding its capi-
tai. The place on the roll of honor is
based on the percentage of surplus
and profits to the capital.
According to the last annual report
of the comptroller of the currency
there were SAP banks in operation
under National charters and 747 are
entitled to positions on the roll. This
means that out of every hundred
banks doing business under National
charters only fourteen are entitled tu
mention.
The banks in Wisconsin named OF
the roll of honor and their rating is as
follows: First National bank of Re-
nosha, 1885 per cent; First National
bank of Hudson, 1873. 50; First Natioual
bank of Monroe, 1874; First Nat1ox-
al bank of Racine, 1868; First Na-
tiona1 bank of Madison, 1927. The
rank of the Kenosha bank in the ia
ton is 21o.

PLAN FOR BIG YARDS
Northwestern Railway Company
May Operate Big Transfer
Yards at Ranney
WILL PURCHASE LARGE TRACT

It is reported today that the North
Western Railway company is negoti-
ating for the purchase of 2C0 acres of
land near the village of Ranney which
is to be used as a general transfer
yard for the company.
The tract of land that is to be pur-
chased is within a few feet of the
right of way purchased by the COM
pany for the line now being built be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee. 1t is
stated that the company has planned
to spend thousands of dollars in i'm
proving the property and when the
Improvements are completed there
WILDE room provided for the storing
and transfer of more than three
thousand cars. This will demand the
building of nearly twenty miles Of
trackage and will demand the employ
ment of many men. One of the agents
of the company stated this morning
!. that it would require years to complete
the building of the yards.
The coming of the North Western
yards will mean big boom for the
little village of Ranney as the COM
pany will be forced to employ several
hundred men for the handling of the
cars at this point and these men will
be forced to find homes in Ranney.
For some time the company has
been unable 10 handle cars with ease
on account of the cramDed conditions
in Milwaukee and Chicago and as
Ranney is just half way between the
two cities it was decided to build the
yards there. The work of laying the
tracks will be started as soon as the
proper grading is done. Ranney is
now the central headquarters for the
men at work on the new line and it is
being built North and South from
this point.

officials Of the Park City EIec-
trio Railway Company to
Present New Ordinance.
DO NOT MAKE CONCESSIONS
City Must Give up the Streets of the
City in Order to Secure the Line
to the West-Com pany Would
Transfer all Passengers

The meeting Of the street and al
ley committee of the city council and
the off Gals of the Park City Electric
Railway held at the office of James
Cavanagh late Tuesday afternoon did
not prove to be any too satisfactory to
the city, but it has brought matters
to head and the officials of the com
pany have agreed to submit new
franchise ordinance to the city coun-
Gil 1T it's meeting to be held on June 5.
Some Objectionable features of the
former measure will be eliminated,
but the company will make little or no
concessions to the city, President
Lutzenkurchen holding that it will be
impossible for the company to float
the bonds if the franchise is weighted
down with payments to the city. The
company has declined to do any street
paving, pay any cash bonuses or to
even give free passes to the city Of
ficials. It is stated, however, that the
city an annual rental of $3.50 for the
use of Middle street bridge and that
it would be willing to give transfers
to all passengers. The company will
ask the right to carry freight on near
1y all of the lines in the city, but the
officers consented to leave one line in
the business district for the sole use
as passenger line.
The proposition of the company is
to build three loops in the city, all of
them to be connected with a line
which is to run to the westward for at
least twenty miles.
The first loop asked is the east loop.
This loop will start at the city limits
Lane, thence south to Wisconsin
street and west on Wisconsin to
Church and thence, north to Park
street. etETst aaass 4e4
The south loop will run from the
corner of Park and Congress streets
south to Strong street and west on
Strong street and Salem avenue to the
limits of the city.
The north loop is complicated one.
It would start at Congress and Park
streets and then run north to York
street, west on York Ito West Main
and north on West Main to Middle
street and then east to Washington
Island and along Washington street
to the docks.
For the use of the Middle street
bridge the company would pay the
city an annual rental.
The members of the committee in
sisted that the company make some
concessions to the city, but President
Lutzenkurchen stated that the only
concession the company could make
would be to provide line twenty
miles in length running into the rich
farming districts west Of the city.
The ordinance is to be drawn at
once and it will be presented to the
committee within the week so that the
committee will have plenty of time to
thresh it out before it is properly laid
before the council.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
state supreme court has declared that
the license law is invalid Mayor Cor
