NEW BOOK ON ROADS
Issued by the State Geological Survey
for the Use of Road Builders

Issued by the State Geological Survey
for the Use of Road Builders
The State Geological Survey has
just issued small bulletin on the
'Rural Highways of Wisconsin,
This bulletin is designed by the sur
vey to be preliminary and somewhat
general in character, as it is hoped
that the study of highways may be
continued in more detailed manner.
1t this is done it is planned to issue
number OF short pamphlets dealing
with particular phases Of highway
work. This bulletin is written by
w. 0. Hotchkiss, who has charge of
the economic geological work of the
survey.
This book is very timely on account
of the widely extended interest in the
roads which the people are beginning
to manifest. It was issued for free
distribution by the geological survey
and may be obtained by sending ten
cents to pay the mailing expense. It
can be secured either by writing to
the director of the State Geological
Survey, or through your local repre-
sentative in the Legislature.

LIMIT CAMPAIGN EXPENSES
Bill introduced Which Proposes to
Limit Expenses of Candidates

Bill introduced Which Proposes to
Limit Expenses of Candidates
If AssemblYman Miller is able fo
get plan which he proposes placing
IN bill form through the legislature
there will be limit on the expenses
which are incurred by any candidate
for Office in Wisconsin in the future.
Or. Miller proposes that the expense
be graded according to the population
OF the district in which the candidate
is running fox office, and it is his idea
that candidate for Office should be
permitted to expend certain amount
per thousand voters in his district.
Thus under DR.. Miller's idea, if a
candidate was running for Office in a
district having only thousand in
habitants he should be allowed per-
haps SIS for his expenses, and if In
district having two thousand inhab-
itants $50 and so on, DR.. Miller's idea
being to make the. limit apply to both
nomination and election expenses. DIR.
Miller would make the amount small
enough SO that it could only be used
for Legitimate purposes, such as the
mailing of literature or work of that
character, and he will compel under
his law that candidate for Office
before taking his Office shall lie an
oath that his election expenses have
not exceeded the amount allowed for
such expenses.

BALKs ON APPROPRIATION

The committee of the City Council
and the members of the board of di-
rectors of the Kenosha Cemetery AS
ISOLATION met at the home of z. G..
Simmons on Prairie avenue Tuesday
evening for the purpose of discussing
the proposed plan of turning the city
cemetery over to the new association.
No agreement was reached on the
matter, but the members of the Coun-
Gil committee were furnished with
more data on the plan, and an infor-
NAL meeting of the entire Council
will be called later, at which the plan
will be discussed in detail,
The members of the City Council
Committee seem to balk on the propo-
sition on account of the fact that the
city is asked to pay to the association
the sum of So, 500 annually for period
of ten years. 1t is claimed that the.
members of the Council believe that
the city is not able to stand so great
an expense for the care of the ceme-.
terry at this time. The directors of.

A BIG TIM
At the Scotch Entertainment at Guild
Hall, January Goth

At the Scotch Entertainment at Guild
Hall. January goth
The coming Scotch entertainment
to be given at Guild hall on Tuesday
evening, IAN. 10Th, promises a rare
musical and literary treat. The pro-
gram includes such talent as IS sell
dom seen excepting in the larger
cities.
Will B. Hunter, of Milwaukee, who
IS billed for the comedy work, is es-
pecially good. He is the only come
dian in this section of the United
States who can present the broad
Scotch in the form of comedy. In
speaking of this gentleman's work on
the Burns night program at Racine,
the Racine Journal says; 'Mr. Hun
ter stands at the head of three-quar-
tiers of the SO called professionals of
the country. The gentleman sang
False Maggie Jurdin', Draw in Your
Chair, and other selections and was
received each time with thunders of
applause. One encore was not sufi
C1ent and ne was recalled three times
on each appearance"
Miss Florence Reid, the celebrated
Scotch dancer of Chicago, will be an
other taking feature on the program
The young lady has appeared in per-
formances at Coal City, Braidwood,
Joliet, Lake Forest, LAGRANGE and
several other places, always winning
great praise from her audiences.
John Sim, the Scotch piper, also of
Chicago, needs no introduction to
those who heard him here last year.
Mr.. Sim has the faculty of pleasing
wherever he goes.
There is no question but what the
Caledonian society will have full
house on the evening of the enter.
tainment. A limited number of tick
cts sufficient to meet the seating
capacity of Guild hall were issued.
These were placed on sale Wednesday
of this week and now less than one
hundred remain to be sold. Persons
planning to attend should secure
tickets at once before the sale closes.

BOOTH NOW AT WORK HERE
Government Statistician Seeking Re-
ports of Divorces in This County

Government Statistician Seeking Re.
ports of Divorces in This County
w. Fl. Booth, of Washington, an
employe of the Census Bureau, has
started work in the Office of the clerk of
the Circuit Court and for the next ten
days he will be kept busy preparing
statistics Of divorces granted in Ke-
nosha county. Mr.. Booth has made
rough estimate of the number of d.
vorces granted in the county and from
this estimate it is shown that the
number will be between 800 and 400.
In order to have something to base
this estimate on the government
agent took the number for three years
selected from the last two decades
and this showed an average of seven
teen divorce cases a year. The
figures for the county will probably
be much lower than has generally
been expected. Mr.. Booth, in speak
ing of the matter, stated that the
number of divorces in many Wiscon-
sin counties was smaller than had
been expected by interested parties.
The investigation covers period of
twenty years.

TO PENSION FIREMEN
New Law Of Great Interest to be
Proposed to the Legislature
This Session
WOULD END LONG CONTEST


within short time the paid fremen
of the state will come under pension
law so that their wives and children
will be protected in case they are
killed or disabled permanently in
their line of duty. The State Fire
mems association took up the matter
at its last meeting and a bill has been
drafted and will soon be introduced
in the Legislature providing for the
establishment of pension fund.
This bill provides for a pension in
case of disability as well as for retire
ment after stated period of years of
service and is very acceptable to the
firemen of the state,
It seems to be the general impress
sion that pension laws provide for the
payment of the various sums by the
municipalities exclusively. This is
erroneous as each paid fireman in the
state will be compelled to pay a GER
tain per cent of his wages each month
into the fund. In addition to that a
provision has been made in the bill
for the payment into the fund one
half of the tax paid by the fire insur-
ance companies in the different cities.
In Kenosha there is paid annually
about 81 800. One-half Of this amount
would be paid into the relief fund by
the city. This, together with the as
sessment made upon each of the men
in the fire department would create a
considerable fund within a few years
so that there would really be no ex-
pense to the city whatever.
The bill provides that there shall
be a pension board in each of the
cities where there is paid fire de-
partment and where the law becomes
effective. In cities of the class as Ke-
nosha the mayor, city treasurer, city
clerk and fire chief would act as per-
manent members of this board. In
addition to those officials there would
be appointed from the membership of
the fire department three men for
positions on this board. It will be the
duty of this board to decide on all
cases that come before it for consid-
Grafton. In case of the disability of
member the board would investi-
gate and the decision of that body
would be decisive and final.
In addition to the disability pension
clause there is provision for the re-
tirement of member after twenty
two years service in the department.
This does not mean that any member
after that term of service can retire
and accept half pay. Itdevolves upon
the pension board to determine that
question. If, in the opinion of the
board, the memoer applying for re-
tirement on account of term of SER
vice is in perfect health and able to
perform his regular duties he wilt not
be allowed to retire. In this city
there are several members who have
served more than the stipulated per-
iod, but none of them would be able
to retire as they are enjoying good
health and fully capable Of properly
carrying out their duties.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Says Roads Must
be Improved
MIGHT WITHDRAW SERVICE
Farmers are Given Thirty Days in
Which to Improve the Condition
of the Highways Used by
Rural Carriers

That the withdrawal of rural mail
delivery from routes out of Kenosha
lis being considered is shown by a
letter received this morning by Post
master Maloney from the fourth as
sistant postmaster. The letter is
written in response to the annual re-
port of the postmaster which showed
that in some instances the carriers on
rural routes we're unable to do their
work on account of the condition of
the roads and the government has
given the farmers thirty days in
which to make the changes needed to
make the roads passable for the car
riers. The letter which will be of
greatest interest to all interested in
the rural service is as follows:
Washington, D. c., Jan. 21, 1907.
| The Postmaster, Kenosha, Wis.
Sir:-It is noted from your report
for December on form 55O2h that due
to bad roads carriers failed to return
to the Office on schedule time.
If condition Of roads is due to lack
of repair, you are directed to inform
| the patrons and others interested that
unless some action is taken by them
within 80 days, or as soon as weather
will permit, looking to improvement
of roads, the withdrawal of service
will be seriously considered, and re.
port results to this office.
Those interested in roads should be
urged to communicated with the State
Geologist, Madison, Wis, who has ad-
vised this Office that he will be glad
to cooperate with road officials
throughout the state.of Wisconsin ia
securing improvement of roads, if re-
quested to do so.
Very respectfully,
w. ID. GRAW,
Fourth Asst Postmaster Gent.
1t is claimed that nearly all Of the
roads used by rural carriers starting
| from Kenosha are in bad condition.
| Of course this does not mean that the
entire route of the carrier is impas-
| sa BILE, but there are pieces of road
which delay the carriers for hours on
their daily trips and make it impossi-
BILE for them to make the trip in the
time limited by the Office. If these
pieces of road are not repaired all the
people on the routes will have to suf-
fer. 1t is alleged that similar con-
dition exists on routes leading out OF
the smaller towns and villages of the
county, and the same rule will be ap.
piled to these routes as to routes
leading out of the Kenosha office.
