Wisconsin has had good many con
ventions of one kind and another first
and last, but never one of greater i'm
portance or one that promised greater
results to the people of the state than
the good roads convention to be held
in Milwaukee during state fair week.
It is hoped and expected that delegates
will be present from every town in the
state and that they will return home
from the convention and spread the Cos
pei of good roads so effectively in their
several communities that the amend
ment to the constitution which will
permit state aid in road building will
receive a handsome majority at the
fall election. No more important
amendment was ever submitted to the
people of the state and if it fails to
carry it will be because the people are
not alive to their own best interests

LOOK At new SYSTEM
Committee on Streets and Alleys
May Adopt New Plan for
Cleaning the Streets
"WHITE WINGS" FOR KENosHA
Committee is Asked to Look Into Plan
for the Installation of Sanitary
Cans for the Reception
of Street Refuse

The street committee of the City
Council in charge Of the work of clean
ing the STREETS is being urged to adopt
a. new plan to take care Of this work
and in short time Kenosha may have
it's "White Wings just like some Of
the larger cities Of the state. Herbert
G. Jay, former Kenosha newspaper man
who IS now working with Grand Rap
ids firm as travelling salesman, had a
conference with the members Of the
committee on the installation of new
system for collecting the dirt and re-
fuse from the streets of the city. The
new system consists of a number of
push carts and a number of sanitary
cans. The cost of the installation of
the system would not be very large
as the cans and the push carts are sold
for $25 and the additional cans needed
are. sold at the rate of SIS each. The
cans are of galvanized iron and are so
made that they can be handled with
the cart with a single workman. The
workman goes along the street and
sweeps it with hand broom placing
all Of the refuse gathered up in one
of these cans. They are then covered
with air tight cover and placed along
the curb to be hauled away by the reg
ular street workers. It is claimed that
with the aid Of this system two men
can keep a large stretch of paved
,4r a. oil ID
without leaving any ugly and i'll smell
ing piles of trash along the street. AS
soon as the refuse has been swept into
the can it is covered and it remains
covered until it is hauled to the city
dump. The push cart system has al
ready been adopted for trial in the
streets in the south end Of the city and
the reports of the superintendent OF
streets shows that these streets are being
kept in pretty fair condition at much
less cost than in other years when
big force of men were kept busy clean
ing the paved streets. It is claimed
that with the installation Of the SAM
tary system proposed by the Grand
Rap1dS company the cost OF nandllng
this work could be reduced even more
and that the refuse could be removed
from the street in way not to be
offensive to any one.
The committee is looking carefully
into the new plan and it is understood
that the matter will be laid before the
Common Council in the near future
The city Of Milwaukee was one Of the
first cities in the middle west TO take
up this system Of cleaning and it. is
now being put into all of the east side
of Milwaukee and the other parts of
the city will have the same facilities
just as soon as the present equipment
for street cleaning is worn out.

School Year This Morning
(From Mondays Daily

(From Mondays Daily
The popularity of the Kenosha Col
lege of Commerce has not faded and
when the Market street school opened
this morning for the new year it was
with the brightest prospects. With an
augmented faculty in which seve /
familiar faces were noticed and good
ly number Of students for the opening
of the term the school started for the
long year this morning. Many Of the
students who were in the college last
year are back again this year and the
number of new students is unusually
large. 1t is noteworthy fact that the
college is drawing many students from
other cities and counties in the state
and the influence Of the institution is
rapidly gaining wider orbit. The
same bright prospects were in evidence
in the opening of the Racine College
under the direction of Prof. Trenary.

LISTS ALL SALES
Agents of Wisconsin State Tax Com
mission Making Inspection Here

GASSC11OO VI WIOCOllOl4 ROUdGG 1CGA GOIll-
mission Making Inspection Here
G.. w. Blanchard of Madison, one of
the agents of the Wisconsin State Ta1
Commission, came to Kenosha this
morning to take up the work Of making
a record Of every sale of real estate
made in Kenosha county during the
the past year. In other years the work
of making this report has been left
largely with the register of deeds and
the agents of the Commission have sim
ply looked over and verified the report
of the official. This year, however,
every sale made in the county in the
last twelve months is being copied.
The agent of the commission will be at
work in Kenosha county for full
week, but when he gets through the
state will have nearly as good record
of the real estate transfers in the
county and the value of the property
as the county has. Following the plan
adopted when the commission sent it's
first representative here five years ago
no record is being made of the sales
where the consideration is nominal and
this fact will make it possible for
many big transfers of property to miss
the consideration of the Commission
This is the fifth year that Kenosha
county has been honored by tue visits
of the representatives of the state
Board of Tax Commissioners and it is
understood that the state plans to
make the records for this county the
model records in the office of the COM
mission. The commission has made
these records in only a few of the
counties in the state, but it is under
stood that in short time this plan will
be carried to all counties. The Com
mission plans to keep up this work of
examining the sales values as shown
by the deeds on file indefinitely and
when the work has been extended to
all the counties it will be an easy MAJ
ter for the Commission to get very
close to the real value of the real es-
tate in the various counties in the
state. The supervisor of assessments
is following the same plan in this coun-
ty and aided by the records made by
him and by the Commission is seek
ing to get basis for more equitable
valuation of the property Of the county.

SEND MORE SAMPLES
Officials of Water Company Go Far In
to Lake to Get Purer Water

The Kenosha Water Company is still
busy in the search for pure water and
this morning four more samples of
water were forwarded to Chicago for
analysis. These samples were taken
from a point in the lake more than a
mile and half from the opening to
the present intake. The former sam
pies were taken from point thous-
and and two thousand feet from the
mouth of the intake. The officials seem
to think that if there is any pure water
to be secured within reasonable dis
tance from Kenosha these samples
should show it. It would cost the
city very large sum to lay new in
take out to the distance from which
these samples were taken, but it is pos
sible that the plan will be adopted if
the water is shown to be pure.
