KenosRa and Racine county solons
cemented friendship Of many years
today when the members of the Racine
County Board accompanied by many
Of the county and city officials came to
Kenosha to be the guests of the Ke
nosha County Board. The members of
the two Boards met for the expressed
purpose of inspecting the work that is
being done by the State Highway
Commission in the town of Pleasant
Prairie, but back of all of this was
the fact that members of the Keuosha
Board had been entertained for years
by the Racine Board and this piece of
road offered the Kenosha Board a
chance to show it's appreciation of these
many little visits to Racine.
The Kenosha Board did itself proud
and the committee on reception con-
sisted of Supervisors Yule, Spartz and
Shuart and on entertainment consist
ing of Supervisors Betting, Jordan and
Burg are entitled to high praise for
the success of the day.
While the visit to the model road
was of course the feature of the joint
session of the Boards it did not prove
any the less interesting on account of
the fact that the Kenosha Board en-
tertained at a splendid banquet at Ho-
tel Kenosha after the trip over the
road was over.
The members of the Racine Board
and the Racine guests, headed by J.
H. Hamper, chairman of the Board,
came to Kenosha on a special train on
the M. r. and K Road reaching Keno
sha at ten o'clock. They were met
at the station by the reception com
mittee and taken in automobiles to the
Court House where they were joined
by other members of the Kenosha
Board and the officials of the county
Twenty automobiles were called into
service to take the members of the
two Boards and the other guests to the
road in Pleasant Prairie. Here the
State Highway Commission was at
work on the road and Engineer Hirst
who is in charge of the work for the
State Commission, personally took the
members over the new road and showed
the details of its construction. He ex-
planned the cost of the road and the
part that the state was taking in its
construction and gave assurance that
the state was willing to do the same
thing for any other road in Racine OF
Kenosha county. More than an hour
was spent inspecting the road and lis
tening to description of the work
that is being done by the Commission
after which the automobile parade
headed for the city and the visitors
were taken about the city and shown
the great growth that had been made
by the city.
The trip about the city ended a.
the hotel where the dinner was served
Just before one O'Clock. The dining
room of the hotel had been charmingly
decorated and at the long tables, which
completely filed the room, covers were
laid for sixty-fve guests. This was
not sufficient to care for all the mem
bers of the party and it was neces
sary to set a second table in the grill
room. The dinner was one of those
old fashioned turkey dinners whicl
appeal especially to members of thu
County Boards and every one else.
After dinner was over cigars were
passed and the members of the two
Boards and the invited guests pushed
back their chairs and listened to lo
of oratory by we'll known Racine ant
Kenosha men. Henry Jordan, super
visor from the Third ward, acted al
POSTMASTER and in the post prandia
exercises short talks were made BY
Chairman Hamper of the Racine Coun
ty Board, Chairman FL. B. Schwan Of
the Kenosha Board, Mayor Horlick Of
Racine, Judge Slosson of Kenosha
Chief of Police Henry @. Baker, A. S
Litus, William Dow William Arm
strong and William Ration of Racin,
county and John 4. Yule and G. T
Stemm of Kenosha.
Good fellowship reigned supreme a
the dinner and the friendly relations
which have always existed between tn,
two counties were brought out NOR,
prominently.
The day proved a red letter day TO.
the members of the Kenosha County
Board and it will undoubtedly be ont
long remembered by the guests.
The inspection of the road in Pleas
ant Prairie resulted in the members o.
the two Boards getting much broade:
idea of the work being done by The
State Commission and it is pretty Ger
tain that it will have a good effec
on the roads in both counties in futur,
years,
No dust, no heat, no WEAKNESS, nj
