SEWER rs COMPLETED
People on Ashland Avenue Get Sewer
Into Jerome Creek-C Consider Paving

The final touches on the sewer on
Ashland avenue are being made today
and already several Of the people who
have long been waiting for the con
struction of the sewer have connected
their property with it. It is now
thought that the property owners on
the street will insist on the paving Of
Ashland avenue and it is probable that
this work will be started with the
opening of the spring. A portion of
the cost Of the paving Of the street
must of course be paid by the Kenosha
Electric Railway Company and it is
expected that the company will have
its finances arranged in such manner
that it will be able to do the work next
year. This street is in decidedly bad
condition and the paving is one Of the
greatest needs of the city at the pres
ent time.

INCOME TAX NECESSARY
Adoption of Constitutional Amendment
Makes Duty Of Legislature Imperative

The adoption at the recent election
of the constitutional amendment reso-
luton for an income tax places the
duty on the coming state legislature for
the enactment Of legislation providing
for the payment Of income taxes by
the people Of Wisconsin.
It is understood that the framing of
the bill on the subject will be left to
the senate judiciary committee and
that already prospective members of
that committee are discussing plans
for the measure.
So far the plan which seems to meet
with the most approval is a law which
will provide for a graduated tax in
come, the rate Of taxation to be pro-
portionate to the size Of the income.
Another question which will have to
be decided in this connection is as to
whether all incomes shall be taxed
or only those over a certain sum,
such as $4,000 per annum.
The inheritance tax question will
also cause considerable trouble at the
coming session of the legislature. 1t
has always been the contention of the
officials of many counties Of the state
that the state got too large a. percent
age of this tax. Senator Randolph
pressed that view at the last legis-
lative session, but was unable to Sc
cure any legislation on the subject.

Building Committee of School
Board Considering But Five
Plans for New Building
WILL DECIDE FRIDAY NIGHT
Architects Will Have Chance to Ap-
pear Before the Committee and
Show Up the Features of Their
Plans-One New Plan

The members of the building com
mittee OF the Board Of Education held
a three hours session Sunday morning
for the purpose of considering the nine
preliminary plans which had been of
fered for the proposed school in the
Third ward No final decision was
reached in regard to the plan to be
selected, but as a. result Of the meet
ing the number of competing plans
was reduced to five and the committee
will meet on next Friday evening to
make final selection to be recommend
ed to the Board as the plan best suited
for the demands Of the city. The ar
chitects whose plans are still being con
sidered by the committee include Hahn
and Lndl and T. Gaastra Of Kenosha,
II. G. Koch Of Milwal kee, A. G.. Klein
of Peoria, ILL.,, and Chandler and Parks
of Racine.
At the meeting on next Friday even
ing the five architects will be invited
to be present and each Of them will be
given chance to answer questions
in regard to proposed changes of the
plans to make them nearer meeting the
demands of the committee.
The members of the committee are
planning to give every possible consid-
Grafton to the plans of the local men
and for this reason both sets of plans
proposed by local architects were in
Guided in the final list for considera-
ton.
The plans of Klein Of Peoria, were
a new set which had been sent to the
Board with the view of reaching Ke-
nosha before the meeting on last Fri
day evening, but they did not get here
in time for consideration. These plans
have made a decided hit with some Of
the members of the committee and it
is certain that they are regarded as
among the best plans suggested. The
Koch plans are also in favor with GER
tain members Of the committee while
there is a decided showing in favor
for both plans presented by local men.
It will be seen that the committee is
pretty we'll divided on the question Of
the plans to be taken for the building
and the matter may be left to the open
Board
It is the plan Of the committee to
have the work on the building started
early in the spring and for this reason
it is thought that the plans will be
definitely accepted at the regular meet
ing Of the Board a week from tomorrow
evening.
The members of the committee are
demanding that every plan be changed
if necessary so as to make the build
ing absolutely fire proof and the ar
chitects have been notified that this
will be one of the demands laid upon
them by the committee. Another con
sideration VIII be that the plan must be
made SO that when it submitted to
the builders the cost will fall below
the sixty thousand dollar mark for the
completed building. 1t is understood
that if any is recommended by the com
mittee and it is found that it can not
be carried out for the amount named
in the advertisement the committee will
reserve the right to reject the plan and
accept some other from the list now in
the hands Of the committee.

BOWLING MATCH OFF
Police and Firemen Warned by Com
mission That They Cannot Bowl

The match bowling game which was
being arranged between the police and
fremen of the city has been declared
off and the championship Of the two de-
partments of the city will probably be
left undecided The match was de-
clared off at the order of the members
of the Police and Fire Commission who
hold that the members Of neither de-
partment can give time for bowling
while employed by the city. 1t would be
impossible for the police department. to
put up a team of six men without the
men being forced to get substitutes and
the same rule would apply to the fire
men and for this reason the members
of the department. followed the orders
of the commission and declared the
match off,

House in Salem Died Saturday

L1OUSS III kJo4S4A 11ASO Eoctb uISady
Mrs Catherine O'Neil, widow of the
late Cornelius 0 neil and one of the
pioneer women Of the town Of Salem,
died at her home near the village of
Trevor on Saturday evening. Death
was due to natural breaking down
due to advanced age. Mrs. O'Neil was
81 years of age. She had been a resi-
dent OIL the town of Salem for more
than fifty years and was widely known
in that part of the county.
The death Of Mrs o Neil recalls the
strange story of disturbances about her
home near Trevor which excited a
great deal of attention in Trevor and
the surrounding territory few years
ago. At that time all sorts Of outragcs
were committed at the O'Neil ho".e
and the outrages became so numerous
that a special deputy sheriff was ap
pointed to watch the house for many
weeks. The mystery attending these
disturbances has never been wholly
solved
