TO. BUILD TILE DRAIN
Edward Sullivan Gets Contract For
Building Drain at Balm School

The Board Of Education met in
special session at the city hall Tuesday
evening Tor the purpose of taking some
action IN regard to the water in the
basement OF the Balm school There
was a general discussion of the condi-
ton at the school and it is thought that
the trouble is mainly due to water that
collects about the building. 1t was
to remedy the defect by put
ting in a tile drain four feet from the
sides OF the foundation. Edward ].
Sullivan was given the contract for
laying the drain and the work will be
done at once. Bids were received for
the work and the bid of Mr. Sullivan
to $171 was the lowest pre-
sented The members of the Board
had looked over the matter with the
architect and they feel convinced that
this will eliminate all the trouble

SEEK MATCH WITH DoUGHERTY
Eddie McGoorty Would Meet Kenosha
Man at Catch Weights For $3.50

Efforts are being made to match Jack
Dougherty of this city and Eddie
McGoorty Of Oshkosh, for a battle to
be pulled off in Kenosha the latter part
of this month and John f. Larie of
Oshkosh, the manager for McGoorty
has consented to make the match if the
Kenosha man will consent to raising a
purse of $3.50. McGoorty fought in
Kenosha some time ago for purse con-
siderably less than a hundred dollars
but it seems that his manager has come
to the conclusion that he can draw
bigger money. Dougherty is nowhere
near the weight of the Oshkosh man,
but his hackers feel convinced that he
can give him first class drubbing. It
is probable that the match will be ar
ranged at the figures demanded by the
Oshkosh sports.

FIND CRIPPLE DEAD.
Edward SCheeI Christensen Found
Dead in Bed at His Home in
the Town of Somers
DEATH CAME DURING NIGHT
(From Wednesday IS Daily

Edward Scheel Christensen, aged "A
years, son of Jens Martin Christensen,
a well known farmer of the town Of
Somers was found dead in his bed by
his father at an early hour this morn
ing. Coroner T. A. Andre went out to
the Christensen home and made an ex-
animation and signed the death certi-
fcate giving the cause Of death as suf
location in pillows during epileptic
commissions
The boy died some time during the
night, but the members of the family
heard no sounds from the bedroom oc-
cupied by him. AS the body was still
warm when found by the father it is
thought that Christensen had been dead
but a short time.
The deceased had been a cripple for
some time as a result of paralysis and
he had suffered from epilepsy for the
past twelve years Last night he re-
tired at the usual hour and seemed to
be in no worse condition than he had
been for months, This morning just
before six CLOCK his father called him
to breakfast but got no answer. He
thought that the boy was sleeping and
did not bother him, but later he went
to the room He found his son buried
in the pillows OF the bed There was no
sign of struggle and it is supposed
that the boy was taken with an epilep-
tic fit during the night and was smoth-
cred in the pillows before he could call
for help. The deceased was native
of Racine, but he had lived with his
parents in Somers for the past twelve
years. The funeral will be from the
late residence on Friday morning and
interment will be at che Racine GENE
terry.

Supervisor of Assessments In
structs the Assessors of the
County in the Work
MUST FOLLOW LAW CLOSELY
County Official Will Insist That the AS
SCISSORS Make Better Efforts to
Get Intangible Property
on the Rolls

Gentlemen 1t affords me great pleas
ure on behalf of Kenosha county to
meet you at this conference and | hope
all Of our meetings will be pleasant
and profitable The meeting Of the
assessors from the different parts of
the county is an event Of more than
ordinary Importance, and if these meet
ings are conducted in the best manner
Tor instruction, more complete know
ledge of our duties and powers should
be obtained, and this should lead to a
more efficient administration in the as
sessment of property, which is the
principal thing in our work
This is the seventh annual meeting
of the assessors and the supervisor of
assessments. When we look back to
the beginning of the work in 1901 and
carefully examine the field since that
time we feel gratifed at the progress
which has been made The present
system of assessing at a real estate
value, is far in advance Of the old Gus
tom of assessing from 20 to SO per
cent in different parts of the county.
You are all good representative men
chosen by the people of the different
towns and the city of Kenosha, sworn
to do your duty regardless Of fear or
favor.
You assessors, having a thorough
knowleke Of your own assessment dis
tricts, are in position to do the best
possible work.
You are capable of finding all taxa
BILE property and putting fair cash
value upon same.
[ fully appreciate the fact that the
city assessors have more difficult
task to perform than the assessors from
the towns
The city assessors have the large
factory plants to assess, both personal
and real which is no easy task. These
large plants are of great benefit to
both the city and the country, vet they
should paycon their real value just the
same as the poor man does on his va
cant lot or his little home or the farm
Ter does on his farm or on his personal
property.
The next class of property that our
city assessors have to handle is the large
business buildings and the merchants
and manufacturers stock. The assess
ing of this class of property requires
good careful Judgment on the part of
the assessors. / am pleased that the city
of Kenosha has elected three men of
experience and good judgment. It is
my candid opinion that most of our tax
payers in Kenosha county are willing to
give into. the assessor or assessors what
