EITHER the city or the Outdoor Art
League should buy one Of those small
garbage burners to lend to anybody
having refuse to get rid Of. It might
even be a good scheme to have a m n
to send around with the burner to do
the little work necessary to operate it.
A good many people who will not
stand around and watch bonfire
might take the trouble to telephone
for the city burner, and good deal Of
waste paper and other refuse, that is
now dumped in alleys and vacant lots
to blow all over the city, would be de-
stroyed.

WAUKEGAN and Lake Forest have
locked horns in good earnest over in
junction proceedings started by Lake
Forest people to prevent the operation
Of the Waukegan sugar refinery, and
here's hoping that Waukegan wins out
in the coming scrap. Presumably
everything possible has beer. done at
the plant to remedythe nuisances com
planned Of at Lake Forest, and that is
all that can reasonably be ex-
pected. The owners Of those deli
cate nostri1s at Lake Forest will get
Whit from some of our industries
next and then they will be after US.

OFFICIAL RECOGNITION
The Mayor Com mends Work of Outdoor
Art Association

The Mayor Commends Work of Outdoor
Art Association
The admirable work being done by
the Outdoor Art Association calls for
a word of commendation. Perhaps it
is not entirely clear to the general
public that this movement is not a
short lived fad, but the earnest effort
of intelligent, active, far-seeing men
and women, property owners, who
have a stake in the matter and are
anxious to see Kenosha kept in a con-
dition that shall be credit to her
citizens.
The work of the association sup
plements the work of the city officials
in a decidedly helpful way. With SO
small police force and so large a
territory to cover, it is impossible for
us to keep track of all parts of the
city all the time.
If every citizen will cooperate with
us in obeying the ordinances and in
reporting the attractions Of them, we
shall be in a fair way to realize a
civic millennium.

OWING to the large profits ACQUIRING
from the various municipal undertak
ings at Bolton, England, forlast year,
the corporation has been able to
hand over in relief of taxes the sum Of
$217, 500. What an opportunity for
pil1age a proposition like that would
present to a bunch Of politicians ia
this countryl The people would have
to keep thoroughly awake all the
time to get even an equal division Of
the profits with the gray wolves who
would be out after the money.

THE officials Of the Chicago Brass
Co. have promised to either build up
their main chimney, or else put on a
smoke consumer, SO that the smoke
and cinders will be less of nuisance
to the property owners in the vicinity
of the mills. The company is en-
gagged IN extensive building opera
tons at present, but the matter Of
fixing the chimney will be taken up
as soon as possible. The officials Of
the company have shown every dis
position to do the right thing, and
they will undoubtedly make an effort
to fix their chimneys so that there will
be no grounds for any more COM
plants.

ANOTHER Ill TINATU UNI
President Frost Notifies Com.
mittee That He Will Pave
Twenty Feet Of Streets
ENGINEERS TO PLAN BRIDGE

President Albert C. Frost Of the
Kenosha Electric Railway company,
and the members of the special rail
way committee of the city held long
conference on Friday afternoon and
as a result of the conference Mr..
Frost has notified the council just
what he will do in order to secure the
passage of the franchise ordinance
now pending before the council. Mr..
Frost has practically met the offer
made by the Chicago, Kenosha, Mil
yankee and Lake Geneva railway
company and it is said that his propo-
sition to the council committee on
Friday is an ultimatum.
The proposition is to be submitted
to the committee in writing. Mr.. Frost
was at first opposed to paving over
sixteen feet of streets passed over,
but after a long argument he con-
sented to pave twenty feet of the
streets.
He also consented to build bridge
over the Kenosha river to connect
Ashland avenue and Caledonia street.
The nature of this bridge has not as
yet been determined. The memoirs
of the committee have been insisting
on the erection of a modern steel
bridge, but President Frost stated
that it was his opinion that concrete
bridge similar to the one on Middle
street would be all that would be
needed to care for the traffic on the
street when opened. At the request
of the council committee, Frost
agreed to send engineers to the city
next Monday TO make complete ex-
animation Of the conditions Of the
river at the proposed crossing and
these engineers will draw plans for
the proposed bridge and have them
ready to submit to the council with the
proposition.
The members Of the committee have
been urged by people owning prop
erty on Ashland avenue to make an
effort to close up the fight for the
use Of the street and most Of these
people have insisted on line which
would furnish local service. Mr..
Frost told the committee that his
company would build the line just as
soon IS possible and that he would
furnish the best possible local SER
vice.
The building of the line if the
franchise is granted to President
Frost and his associates will neces-
sarily be delayed on account of the
fact that the land for the continuance
of Ashland avenue will have to be
condemned. It is understood that the
work of condemnation of the 1aad for
the extension of the street is to be
done by the officials Of the city and
the railway company is to pay the ex-
penses of such condemnation. 1t is
not thought that the city will meet
with any opposition in seeking to
continue the street.

ZION MAN DROWNED
Edward J. Dundson Meets Death
in the Lake off Zion City in
Presence of Sweetheart
CAUGHT IN DREAD UNDERT0W

In sight of his fiance, Miss Sa1lie
Cul1ett, Edward +. Dundson was
drowned in the lake Friday at Zion
City while bathing. Miss Cu1lett sat
on the beach watching Dundson, who
was ont some distance. Suddenly he
gave cry and disappeared. A num-
Der of persons heard the cries of the
young woman and sought to. save
Dundson. His body was found later.
The young couple came from England
a year ago.
Miss Cullett's brother saw Dund-
sons danger Of death and at once
went to the rescue, although being a
smaller man he was unable to do
much.
Its Dundson," he cried when he
heard the swimmers cry for help.
Miss Cullett tainted and the bro
Their, instead of going to the aid of the
drowning man, was distracted and
stopped 10 attend to his sister.
The remains of Dundson were found
40 feet from the place where he sank
by Cullett, who stepped on the dead
body in shallow water.
The drowned man was powerfully
built athlete. The cause of his death
is a mystery. The inquest determined
the fact that he had not been seized
with cramps, and the supposition is
either that the young man lost his
nerve on being bufeted by the waves
or that he was taken in by the tre-
mendous undertow against which he
found it impossible to cope.
Dundson was night clerk at the
Elijah Hospice,

MAKE TWO PRECINCTS
Town of Pleasant Prairie to be Divided
Into Two Election Precincts


The members of the town board of
Pleasant Prairie have decided to
divide the town into two election
precincts. One of the precincts will
be at the town hall as before while
the second precinct will be located
close to the southwest limits of the
city of Kenosha. It is estimated that
the town has more than ], 200 voters,
but SO long as the voting place was
located at the town hall it was inn
possible for many OF these people to
vote on account of the long trip to
the polling place. The opening of
this new polling place will, of course,
the election expenses in the
town but It will make it possible for
all of the voters to vote.

MEN CRITICS OF DRESS.

proportion than women, and are quick
to see an inharmonious note, or any
offense against the general order OF

Men are especially quick to see har.
