People Of the City are Protesting
Against the High Levy
of Taxes
NO SHOWING FOR THE MONEY
Taxes are Increasing Yearly With Few
Permanent Improvements Being
Put in.-Big Appropriations
For Certain Funds

There is a general feeling of discon-
tent among tax payers in all parts of
the city, on account of the large tax
levy made by the city council, on Mon
day evening, and while it will probably
be paid without formal protest lead
ing tax payers of the city are declar-
ing that the amount of the taxes is
entirely too large and that with an
economical management of business
for the city ten mill levy would have
been sufficient to have furnished all
the money needed by the city. The
amount to be raised this year from
taxes and licenses is far in excess of
any amount ever raised in the city,
and the levy of the taxes is just the
same as last year. OAn error was made
on Tuesday in stating that the levy
last year was fourteen mills, as an In
vestigation showed that it was the
same as this year. Last year it was
stated that the tax levy would be re-
duced this year.
One of the leading tax payers of the
city, and man who has held an Of
fetal position in the city, when seen
this morning said: 81 do not see
where the council finds justification
for such large taxsievy. The funds
for the different departments of the
city have boosted beyond all reason
and the present administration will
go down on record as one of the most
Iextravagant that the city has ever
supported. There is $13, 900 appro-
priated for the street fund, and If the
present condition of the streets is any
criterion, the money might just as
some time the appropriations have
been increasing, but I can not see
that the people are getting any more
for their money. A few years ago we
could run the cemetery and public
grounds with 5000 and had plenty of
money, and now it is boosted to So, 900.
No permanent improvements are be-
ing made with this money and it
seems that a large amount of it is
being spent foolishly. Our paupers
are to cost US more and the contingent
fund WHICH is to be used for general
expenses is greatly increased. What
is to be done with all Of this money?
The statement of the city treasurer
shows a balance of practically $40, 900
in the bank now, and with the 1926, 900
raised by taxes and licenses, the city
will have $500, 900 for next year. Less
than five years ago the city expenses
we're paid with S15C, 900 or less, and it
is certain that the growth of the city
has not increased the expenses to this
large amount. The city should be
given an accounting for every cent of
the money collected and the itemized
statement should show every cent ex-
pended.

BANK TO REBUILD
Formal Announcement is Made oil
Proposed Changes in First
National Building
MORE ROOM FOR BUSINESS

=. 3 D
The First National Bank of Keno;
sha is planning to make extensive
changes in the building. now occupied
by the bank and it is expected that
the WORK will begin with the first OF
the new year. The bank will take
over the room now occupied by John
English as hardware store and when
the changes are completed the build
ing will be one of the finest bank
buildings in the state.
For more than half a century the
First National Bank has carried on d
successful business in Kenosha. i
was organized as state bank in 1854,
before the national banking law was
passedaby congress. Immediately on
the passage ofAthis act the directors
of the bank made application to enter
the national banking system, and on
January l, 1864, they formally placed
the institution under the supervision
Of the United States government as
the bank received the charter number
ZIP, which it still retains, thus making
it one of the oldest banks in the ma.
tional system. There are only SO a.
tioIa1 banks in the country the char
ter numbers Of which are lower than
that of the First National Bank OF
Kenosha.
Mr.. z. @. Simmons has been presi-
dent Of the bank since 1871, or more
than thirty-fve years.
From the start the management has
always been in the hands of the most
conservative and strongest of the
early settlers of Kenosha-E Edward
Balm, founder of the Balm Wagon
company; Col. Jas. H. Howe, Genera
Counsel and afterwards General
Manager of the Chicago &. North
western Railroad company; Frederick
Robinson, pioneer druggist and
capitalist; George Yule, president OF
the Balm Wagon company; z. G. Sim
mons, president of the Simmons
Manufacturing company. These and
others associated with them brought
to this bank the same caution and
high sense of personal honor that they
exercised in their own affairs.
The constantly increasing business
now necessitates larger quarters,
and early in the coming year the
bank will rebuild the present building
on the north, which, when completed,
will be one Of the largest and most
complete banking Offices in the state
Of Wisconsin.
One of the important improvements
will be department for the exclusive
use of lady customers of the bank.

FINISH DUTCH GAP"
Town Board Of Bristol to Com.
pIete Digging Ditch Started
Four Years Ago
TO RECLAIM MANY ACRES

The Town Board Of the town of
Bristol has concluded to complete the
work of digging the ditch between
the Wilmot road and thestate line and
the work will be started at once and
If possible completed before the close
of the spring Of next year. The work
on the big ditch which is commonly
known as ''Dutch Cap was started
some four years ago but it has been
greatly delayed and the.people of the
town have been divided as to the
ACCESSIBILITY ofscompletings,t the work.
The ditch is now completed for one
mile and the entire length of it will
be little over four miles. 81 The esti-
mated cost of completing the work is
five thousand dollars and the Town
Board will make the appropriation
needed. The ditch is one of the
largest canals of the kind ever
planned in Kenosha county. It varies
in width from twelve to eighteen
feet and when completed it is claimed
that it will drain two thousand acres
of land. AT the present time this
land is entirely swamps and practic-
ally fit for nothing. The land to be
reclaimed will be valued at many
times the cost of the ditch.
For the past three years the people
living IN this section of the county
have been anxious to securessthe COM
pletion of the ditch but the Town
Boards have been unwilling to take
upon themselves the blame for MAX
ing such a big appropriation from the
funds of the town. It is, claimed that
the completion of the ditch will be of
great benefit to all parts OF the town
and it is possible that other towns in
the county will find a way to secure
a drain for swamp land.

THERE should be no fooling with
this Strike at the poor farm. Many
a hard workingman has fewer com
forts than these dependents of the
city enjoy, and if the paupers have
not got sense enough to appreciate
what is being done for them by the
city and are not willing to do what
work they can to earn their living,
they should be turned out to shift fol-
themselves for a while. That would
soon bring them to time. A few days
out in the cold would make them
ready and willing to do almost any
thing to get back into their comfort

John Collins Who Disappeared Ecur
Months Ago Found at Poplar Grove
John Collins, former Kenosha man,
is greedy and his greed will probably
result in his being landed ia the
county jail on charge of wife aban-
donment. Collins left Kenosha four
months ago and all efforts to find any
trace Of him have been futile, but
yesterday John came to the conclu-
sion that things had about blown over
and he wired home for money. He
only wanted FIVE dollars, but this
amount was sufficient to give the Off
GERS clue to his whereabouts and
his wife at once went to Justice
Sturges and got out wa rrant Chief
of Police O'Hare will answer the tele-
gram and he will have the warrant
with him. It is expected that Collins
will be brought back to Kenosha to-
night.
