NEEDS NO CONSENT
City Attorney J. c. Slater Makes
! Discovery in Regard to Pro-
]. posed Line on AshIandAye.
NO PROVISIONS IN ORDINANCES

I4s Something Of a bombshell, was
thrown into the ranks of the people
interested in electric railways in the
city today, when City Attorney John
tC. Slater made the discovery that the
|Electric Railway company will not
Ishave to go tc the trouble of securing
THE consent Of property owners on
streets in which extensions are
planned. Both the railway managers
and the people opposed to the coming
of railways on several streets have
been 1aboring under the impression
9that it would be necessary for the
company to secure. the consent of at
7feast one-ha1f of the frontage before
the line could be laid. It is not so
written in the bond, and it is certain
that the entire responsibility of grant
ing the franchise will be left with the
city council.
The original Haynes-Claussen or
ldinance contained a clause which
of the road to get the consent of a
large proportion of the frontage be-
fore lines could be built on any street,
but when the new ordinance was pro-
posed by Bion ]. Arnold and his asso-
ciates, this clause was dropped out,
and in place of it was inserted clause
providing that the company should
get such consent for the laying of
switches and turn OUTS Mr., Slater
states that there can be no doubt as
to the reading of the ordinance. This
ruling will cover not only the case of
Ashland avenue, where a hard fight
is now being made, but all other
streets IN the city as we'll. The de-
cision of the city attorney is a most
valuable one for the railway company,
as the long protest on Ashland avenue
might have made it impossible for the
company to get through.
The city attorney has not as yet no.
tilted the railway company of his con-
struction Of this portion Of the or
dinance, and for this reason the fight
on Ashland avenue goes merrily on.
Under the decision of the city attor-
ney the entire matter will be left to
the common council, and if that body
sees fit to turn down the protesting
Ashland avenue people on the grounds
that the road is great benefit to the
entire city, it will have the power to
pass the ordinance
The railway ordinance will not
come up for final hearing on Monday
evening, but it will have its first
reading at that time.

ROB A SCHOOL HOUSE

Tramps Enter the School at Kenosha
Heights and Secure an Overcoat
Tramps are getting troublesome on
the outskirts of the city again, and
this morning report was made to the
police that the school house at Keno
sha Heights had been entered be-
tween Saturday night and Sunday
morning and an overcoat belonging to
the teacher IN charge of the school
taken. The entrance to the building
was made by forcing open one of the
windows. The police officers have
been looking after the case, notwith-
standing the fact that it is outside of
the city, but thus far they have found
no trace of the guilty parties.
For some time band of tramps
have been making their residence
along the tracks near the school and
there is little doubt but that they
were to blame for the robbery.

Prominent Farmers of Kenosha
County Enter the University Of
Wisconsin to Study Methods
STEPHENSON FARM FOR TESTS
James p. Torrey, Harding Crow and M
o. Myrick to Lead the Colony of
Kenosha County Students at
the State University

James P. Torrey of Somers, Harding
Crow Of Pleasant Prairie, and M. O.
Myrick of Paris, three of the most
prominent farmers In Kenosha county
have natriculated ia the University
of Wisconsin for the farmers course
February, and they are planning to
give the theories Of farming as taught
at the University of Wisconsin a
thorough test in the practical field of
work.
Mr.. Torrey is the manager of the
largest farm in the county and it is
stated that on the farm is the finest
herd of dairy cattle to be found in the
world. For some time the farmers of
the county have been DESTROYS of hav-
ing test of the methods taught at
Madison and to this end the farmers
have decided TO go back to school
days again.
Fully dozen of the less prominent
farmers of the county will go with
the trio to Madison and remain dur
ing the ten days of lectures and ex-
periments.
The Kenosha party will take
especial interest in the work of the
University as relating to the care of
cattle and dairy work. One of the ex-
periments will be of special interest.
This experiment will be close study
of herd of cattle known to be affect
ed with tuberculosis. These cattle
have been shipped to Madison and
they will be slaughtered in the
presence of the members of the classes
in order that the farmers may have
every possible chance to learn the
symptoms of the disease and the
methods for its cure.
In past years the university has
drawn few students from Kenosha
county for the farmer courses but it
is expected that the action of the men
who have entered for the course will
lead many others sto.enter.
The test of the methods of the
university on the Stephenson farm
will be one of great interest to all
parts of the state. The farm or the
former congressman is rated as the
most up-to-date farm in Wisconsin.
For years it has been equipped with
the most modern machinery known to
the science of farming and many sug-
gestions that have been sent out in
the bulletins of the university have
been followed on this farm. In
the last few weeks the officials of the
university have arranged to make
tests of their methods on several of
the larger farms in northern Wiscon-
sin and similar tests will be made in
this county.
Should the tests of these sugges-
tons prove successful in this county
it is probable that they will be
adopted on majority of the farms in
in the county.

The conference between the COM

CHARGED WITH CONTEMPT
Ben Cole, Former Newspaper Man,
Narrowly Escapes a Fine


Ben A. Cole. a former Kenosha
newspaper man, and at one time the
editor Of the Te1egra ph-Courier, has
just come forth unscathed from a
rather exciting experience.
Mr.. Cole is at the present time the
editor and publisher of the Mirror
at Albion, Mich, and in this capacity
he has taken exception to some of the
rulings of the court in that part of
Michigan. Recently in one of his
papers he insisted that a prisoner was
''railroaded to Marquette prison" and
he was at once charged with con-
tempt of court by the prosecutor of
the county. Cole took the case to a
Kalamazoo court, and the charge
against him was dismissed by Judge
Adams. Cole was always of pugna-
cious disposition, and it is evident
that he has lost none of his o1d-time
fighting qualities.

MUST STEP LIVELY
Large Amounts of Taxes are Still
to Be Collected by City
treasurer Steinmetz
ONLY A FEW DAYS REMAIN

With but thirty days more in which
to pay taxes and with nearly Sis, 900
yet to be collected, taxpayers will have
to move fast IN order to pay their
dues to the city and not have their
property placed on the delinquent tax
roll. Possibly City Treasurer Stein
metz will have notices bearing the
words, "Step lively, please" posted
in conspicuous places in his Office in
order that all who call may be waited
on and relieved of their money, al
though it will not be a holdup.
The remaining thirty days will be
busy ones for the. city treasurer and
ready and will give out tax statements
and receive the coin most eagerly, but
it is advised that all taxpayers have
the correct change, as by so doing
there will be no delay and no chance
for errors.
When the city treasurer opened his
Offices the first of the month and was
ready to receive taxes, he found
crowds for few days who wanted to
pay their money into the city treas
ury, but each following day the num-
Der decreased and for the past week
there has not been rush.
Of total of $155,O00 to be collected
in taxes, the city treasurer has so far
received 1000, which leaves bal
ance of nearly $115,0 still to be col
lected before the close of the Office en-
the evening of February %. To col
1ect this amount about SIS, 000 will
have to be received on an average
each day, but as IN previous years,
many will hold off paying taxes until
the last day or two and then there
will be rush.
1t is known that several people will
refuse TO pay the personal property
tax, but what this amount is of the
total to be collected is not known.
All taxes on real estate not paid by
February % will be placed on the de-
1inquent tax roll and given to the
county treasurer to be sold. The de-
linquent personal property tax will be
handed to the treasurer and he will
be given an opportunity to show his
skill as collector.
