to the attorney generals department

and the necessity for holding meeting
of the committee, and [ herewith quote
from a letter dated Jan. %, received
from the attorney generals department..

Members Of the Kenosha Camp Royalty
Entertained in Racine

A large number Of the Pike Woods
Camp Of the Modern Woodmen Of Amer
lea went to Racine on Monday evening
to be the guests of the members of
the Racine Camp. The local Woodmen
were royalty entertained. Some weeks
ago the members Of the Racine and
Kenosha Camps entered on contest for
members and it was understood that the
Camp getting the most members should
be entertained at an oyster supper.
The Racine Camp lost but the members
proved good losers and the entertain

all that could be expected or desired.
There was a Woodmen parade before
the dinner in which all the members of
the Racine Camp escorted the members
of the Kenosha Camp to the Woodmen
Hall. After dinner was over there
were speeches by the leading men of
the two camps.

NO PROTEST ON CUT
IN PHAETON FARES

So far there has been no protest
to Park Commissioner Hinchman from
the automobile company having the
Belle Isle contract In regard to his
reduction of the phaeton bridge fare
to three cents.
Neither is any opposition expected
from the aldermen at the present time.
although the council decided in favor
OF, fve-cent fares during the winter
when the question was up some
months ago.
The contract, which the mayor
says contains surprise was passed
upon by the council committee and
by the council says Aid Renaud."
Figures showed that the phaetons
could not operate except at a loss dur
ing the winter months when there are
few passengers. We did not feel like
making the loss to the city greater
by cutting the rate OF fare. The
mayor contended that we should make
the fare low. and let the city stand
the loss, to get the tired fathers and
mothers Of the city out beside the
cool river-in the winter months"
