City Council Declines to Accept
alIof the Sewers Built BY
McGovern Company
DON'T KNOW TELEPHONE CO,
Petition Of the Kenosha Home Tele-
phone Company is Laid on the
Table-Report on Hanson
Street is Accepted

he city will still continue to hold
the money that may become due to
NJ. H. McGovern, the sewer contrac-
tor, for at the meeting of the common
council on Thursday evening only a
very small portion of the sewers we're
accepted, and the remainder of the
job may wait for some time. The
committee on sewers presented a very
graphic report, showing the exact
condition Of the sewers which we're
now completed and which the con-
tractor asked to have accepted.
The report showed that in some of
the sewers the flow of the water was
decidedly poor, and that water stood
in many of the man holes. The com
mittee insisted that the sewer on
Lake avenue was all that could be de-
sired, and it, together with a small
piece on Rowland avenue and another
on Edwards street was accepted.
There were some of the aldermen
who were in favor of disregarding
the report of the committee by accept-
ing all of the sewers, but this amend
ment was lost, and the motion to ac-
ceptIthe report of the committee and
accept the three sewers carried with a
large majority of the votes Of the
aldermen.
1t is not known when the remaining
sewers will be accepted, but the mem
bers of the council will probably in
sist that they be in such condition as
to receive the approval Of the COM
mittee when the council acts again on
| the matter.
The Kenosha Home Telephone Co.
was given the cut direct by the coun-
Gil, when the petition of the company
to lay conduits in several of the
streets about the new building was
laid on athe table with the under
standing that the common council Of
kenosha did not recognize the Keno
sha Home Telephone company. At
the last meeting of the council the
aldermen granted to the committee
the right to make an agreement VII
the company to put the conduit n
the streets if the company v0u1d
agree to include the fire alarm wires
in the same conduits, and Thursday
night the president of the company
sent letter to the council accepting
these terms.
However, the council failed to fol-
low up its former action and the
motion to lay on the table was carried
by majority vote. It is thought that
this will prove to be the opening gun
in long fight against any extension
of the present rights of the company
and it is possible that the council will
put many obstacles in the way of the
company during the next few weeks.
The company will need to make
changes in the lines in order to
amalgamate the two systems, and if
the council takes the position of buck
ing all of these chances, the company
may be forced to come before the
council and ask for the new franchise
grant.
The council accepted the report of
the commissioners appointed to lay
out Hanson street, and the street will
be opened at once.

A CATS AMUSING TRICK.
Puss Found a Way to Keep Her Ap.
nOfntmants

pOtntmentS.
My cat" says writer in the Chica-
go Tribune, lis twelve years old and
an ordinary tabby. Since it was deli
cate as kitten, I always let it sleep
in the kitchen on the ground floor, from
which a large window oyerlooks a
yard. In this window is one pane
which opens separately by means Of a
latch.
'sWhen it was about two years old
the cat, no doubt finding the night
long, taught itself to open this pane
and get out through it. At first when
the cook told me about it was incred-
ulous, knowing that servants have a
way of making the cat responsible for
any little negligence Of their own, but
as the window was found open every
morning I was bound to believe it.
Since then l have seen the cat do the
trick a hundred times, for, once it
knew than we had discovered it at it,
it no longer made a secret of it. Its
way Of doing it vas to jump upon the
inner window sill, push the latch up
ward with the tip Of its nose and pull
the frame back with its paw. 1t did
this as easily as human being would
do 1t with the hand
'eThe most amusing part is that one
Of this cats descendants, perceiying
that it's mother knew the secret of get
ting outside, taught itself the same
trick in quite a short time This kit
ten opened any sideboard or cupboard
In which the key had not been turned
by pulling the door toward it with the
greatest dexterity."

They were separated and Allen was carried home, where his wound was examined hv pr. Fields. He was later carried to St Vneents hospital accompanied by Dr. Fields and Dr. Fonville.
