Market St. Property Owners Join
in Protest Against The Work
Done by John 0. Jones
MAYOR DEMANDS A CHANGE
Contractor is Ordered That the Contract
With the City Must Be Followed
to the Very Letter in All
the Work Now Pending

Market street property owners to the
number of score joined the army of
people protesting against the paving
done by John Q. Jones this morning and
as a result Of the protest Mayor Scholey
and the members of the Street and AL
! legs committee of the Council ordered
the contractor to take up all curb that
has been set on Market street west of
the tracks of the Northwestern Rail
way Company and lay it in keeping with
| the specifications and contract. All of
this curb was laid last fall and the men
were started to work to continue the
curb this morning. When the men got
to work the citizens Of the neighborhood
gathered in force and calling the mayor,
city engineer and the members of the
street committee they demanded that
the work be stopped. The curb was not
being laid on bed of sand as demanded
in the contract with the city. The con
tractor was not in the city, but he was
hurriedly called from Racine and pend
| ing his coming all work was stopped.
It was claimed by the property owners
that they would contest in court
against the payment for the work if it
was not laid strictly in keeping with
the contract. The mayor told the peo-
pie that he would see to it that the curb
was taken up and reset and that the
work would be done in way entirely
satisfactory to them.
AS soon as Mr.. Jones reached the
city he held a conference with the Of
fcials and was informed that in the
future all work done in l\enosha must
be done in keeping with the contract
| Mr.. Jones admitted that the curb on
as demanded in the contract, but in
crushed stone and he at once ordered the
men in charge of the work to begin tax
| ing up the curb.
There was some complaint against the
manner in which the curb stones had
been fitted and dressed and aH Of these
| objections will be met when the work is
done the second time Mr.. Jones stated
that at the time the curb was laid he
| knew that it was not in keeping with
the contract, but the work as being done
would make a better JOB than had it
been laid strictly to the contract.
| The work of re-setting the. curb will
require a week Of time and rt' will re-
suit in considerable expense to the con
tractor. It is understood that the city
officials are taking steps to make a
change in the contract SO as to allow
the curb to set on bed of crushed
stone, but as the present contract de-
mands sand it will be necessary for the
contractor to follow it on all streets.
| The new contract will provide that
! the curb be set on crushed stone, but
all Of the old contracts read the other
way. It is probable that the contrac-
tors will have. to take similar action in
regard to the curb on Wisconsin street
as it is admitted that this curb is not
laid strictly in accordance with the con-
tract. No complaint against this curb
has as yet been filed with the city of
! fcials.

MAYOR TO APPOINT
New Mayor To Name New Police
and Fire Commissioner Be.
fore Last of Next Week
WILL SUCCEED R08T. ,NIC0LL
(From Fridays Daily

There will be another change in the
Kenosha Police and Fire Commission
within the next ten days and this time
the new member of the Board will be
named by Mayor Scholey. Politicians
are earnestly discussing the appoint
ment and so far as can be learned the
mayor has not given out to any one
his choice for the Office The term of
Robert Nicoll, named by Mayor Cor
man as a member of the Board, will
expire OF the first day Of May and
under the law the appointment of his
successor must be made on or before
that date. The new Commission has
not as yet organized and it is under
stood that the matter Of organization
will be laid over until the new man
is named by the mayor.
Mr. Nicoll is not a candidate for re-
appointment, but it is thought that he
would accept the appointment if it was
rendered to him. In speaking of the
matter this morning Mr.. Nicoll said:
81 have no desire to embarrass the
new mayor in his appointment of a
police and fire commissioner and [ may
resign before my term Of Office ex-
pires to leave him absolutely free to
name any one he may see fit. /" Mr.
Nicoll has made a good commissioner
and he has freely given his time to the
work Of the commission.
There is no doubt but that the COM
mission will take more active part
in the work of the city this year than
in former years as the new members
Of the commission named within the
past few weeks are men Of action. It
is pretty certain that there will be no
effort to have any Of the present mem
bers Of the force discharged either in
the police or fire department and the
offices of the chiefs Of the department
will undoubtedly be vested in the same
men for another year at least. At the
time of the election of the Scholey
administration it was cl2imed that the
men would make an eff TT to interfere
with the men in these departments, but
it has been shown without a question
of a doubt that these statements were
unfounded. It is claimed that the
most friendly relations exist between
the new mayor and the chiefs of the
two departments.

The forty-fifth legislative district IS strictly
an agricultural one, and it seems to me no more
than fair and reasonable that at least part
OF the delegation should be farmers. I served
as an officer of the house during the session Of
1907, and thought then, and still believe, that
If more farmers were sent to the legislature
the interests of the common people of the state
would be better protected.
What little campaigning I may do will be
clean and above board, treating my opponents
with respect. remembering that every Ameri-
can citizen has right to aspire to public office.
am backing myself, and if elected'I will be
under no obligation to any man or men for any
financial support. If you consider me worthy
of your support, will be pleased to receive it,
Yours very respectfully.
