WILL RAISE SALARY
City Council Decides to Increase
the Pay Of City Officials Be-
fore Next City Election
ORDER SIX VOTING MACHINES

City officials in Kenosha are to re-
the common council last night the
aldermen took action to increase the
salary of the city clerk to 81 200 year
and the salaries of assessors from $500
to $500 year. It is stated that the
clerk was undo paid and that the
assessors were not willing to continue
in Office unless their salaries were in
creased. AT the present time there
has appeared but one candidate for
the Office of assessor and the former
assessors had declared that they
would not accept the Office with the
present salary. With the salary of
the assessors placed at $500 year
there will be no lack of candidates.
The assessor is forced to work about
four months each year and with
salary of $500 the compensation is a
fair one.
The council has taken steps to Sc
cure voting machines for use in all
parts of the city before the coming
city election. The city will at once
purchase three machines at the rate
Of six hundred dollars each and the
company has consented to place three
other machines for the use at this
election with the understanding that
the machines will be purcha sed by
the city next year.
According to the state law the ma
chimes may not be used for the pri-
mary election and for this reason
there is no reason for hurry in in
Sailing them. The manufacturers,
however, state that they will be in
stalled in time for the city election
and plenty Of time will be given the
voters to get acquainted with the
workings of the machine.

mittee on streets, alleys and bridges
and 1t will be further considered at
the next meeting of the council.
The matter of paving South Ex-
change street from Eagle street to
Balm avenue was taken up. and re-
ferred to the committee on paving and
it is probable that the work will be
ordered done at once.
The special committee of the council
which has been Investigating the
matter Of a municipal lighting plant
for the city, sent in report to the
effect that they had examined records
from many cities owning municipal
plants and that in only one of these
cities was the cost of light greater
than in Kenosha. The committee
urged the council to give the matter
its most careful considerable The
matter will now be considered by the
council as a committee of the whole.
No action was taken on the ordi-
nances proposed blythe Chicago and
Milwaukee and Chicago & North
Western Railway companies, but it is
understood that these matters will
be taken up at the next meeting of
the council.

WIS increased FIVE dollars a month.

LAST PHASE rs In SIGHT
Crucial Questions Believed To Be
Soon Coming Up Before the
Algeciras Conference.

Berlin, Feb. 81 The decision of the
French government to discontinue prt-
vate negotiations between the French
and German delegates at Algeciras,
and to take the disputed questions be-
fore the conference, is regarded here
as an Indication that the last phase Of
the conference is beginning. The Ger
man government stands resolutely by
it's position not to yield the policing of
Morocco to France, although fresh pro-
posals looking toward a settlement are
likely TO be made by neutral powers.
The view taken Of the situation by
the diplomats here is that it is doubt
full whether France and Germany can
be satisfied to break up the conference
without dispo Of the main ques-
tons in dispute.

THE health officers are congratulate
ing themselves that another season
has nearly passed without any seri-
GUS outbreak among the men brought
into the county to harvest the ice
crop. The danger Of an epidemic
starting among these men is no small
one and the fact that the health of the
county has never been seriously
threatened since the big ice COM
panies began to import men gathered
from everywhere and anywhere for
the harvest is due in no small degree
to the vigilance of the authorities. In
this case it surely pays to take every
precaution.

KENOSHA does not wish to go on
record as being opposed to the coming
of new railroads. Far from it. It
may as we'll be understood first as
last, however, that al present this
city does business only with principals,
never with promoters seeking fran
chises here which they intend to sell
to the highest bidder. The corpora
ton seeking a franchise in Kenosha
must be prepared to furnish salts
factory evidence.of it's financial ability
to carry out any contract made with
the city before receiving any con
sideration. Furthermore, unless the
taxpayers go to sleep and let men
into the council with whom it may Je
possible for the railroads to do bust
ness, Kenosha will expect fair com
pensation for the use Of the streets.
We know now something of what they
are worth. The price paid B. J.
Arnold for the local line was a good
deal Of an eye opener

IF the city goes wrong at the com
ing election every voter and taxpayer
will have to share the responsibility.
There are enough men who have no
use for dishonest officials to snow the
grafters under, if they only take the
trouble to vote, and if they do not get
out and do it they will have to stand
for the results. Remember, there is
no politics in graft, and there should
be none in dealing with it.

THE totals Of thespension appropri-
