HAS SUPPORT OF OFFICIALS
State Commission Sends Out Letters to
Officials of the County Urging That
Action on This Important Question
Be Taken.

Members of the County BOARD have
received letters from the State Lii
brary Commission seeking to reopen
the old scheme of placing a series of
travelling libraries in this county and
it is probable that the decision of
this question will be one of the
big questions to come before the
Board at its annual November session.
Two years ago a hard fight was made
for the establishment of the libraries
in the county, but at that time after
the county superintendent had named
the repositories for the books the
County Board baked and nothing was
done to follow out the plan. The
State Board has now outlined a full
scheme for the installation of the Ii
braries in the rural districts of the
county and it is understood that this
plan has. the support of not only the
state superintendent of schools, but
the county superintendent and that
these officials will be warm in
support of the plan before the County
Board sessions. The people of the
county seem to be anxious to have the
libraries and they may see to it that
their board members are pledged to
the plan before they come to Kenosha
for the annual session in November.
The cost of installing the system of
libraries will be decidedly small in
consideration to the great benefits to
be conferred upon the people in the
neighborhood where the libraries are
placed.
The whole plan has been presented
to most of the members of the Board
in former years by representatives of
the State Commission and it is so well
understood that it is not thought neces-
sary to go into it again. The Board
on the former occasion seemed to
think that the county could not stand
the expense of the libraries as small
as it was, but with the coming of bet
ter times it is thought that the hearts
of the men will be so enlarged that
they will see fit to make this small
appropriation for the education of the
people in the rural districts. The
travelling libraries would be of little
value in Kenosha on account of the
fact that the Gilbert NJ Simmons Lii
brary is one Of the best in the state
and the people of the entire city have
access to this.
The libraries proposed to be sent
to the county are not alone for the
school children, but for their parents
as well, but the managers of the Com
mission have found that it is advisable
to have the books handled in the
schools on account Of the fact that
with this plan the teacher can be
utilized as librarian.

MAY REDUCE RATE
May Get Lower Rate for Shipping of
Lumber From Southern Points

In regard to the reduced tariff on
lumber at Racine and Milwaukee put
into effect recently by some of the
southern roads, in which Kenosha is
not favored, it is said that this rate
may be withdrawn at any time. If it
is not taken off Kenosha and interme-
date points will be given the same
rate. The present tariff in effect here
is % cents per hundred, the Racine
and Milwaukee rate being 26 cents.
The Northwestern line has insisted
that the 26 cent rate be given to Ke-
nosha also, but no change has been
made as yet. The local office has not
been advised as to whether the lower
rate will be withdrawn or the Keno
sha rate reduced.
It is reported that there will be no
change in the rates now charged for
the transportation Of coal, the Kenosha
rate being practically the same as the
rate to Racine and Milwaukee

Three Kenosha Boys Are Commission

Ben Buckmaster, Glenn Spoor and

the United States government this

examination being conducted by one

Saving Crew. Fifty boys took the
examination at that time, but a few
of them passed it with a grade permit

the government. They are named as
volunteer life savers for a term of two
years and are expected to answer all
emergency calls which may be made
upon the life saving crew.

TO KEEP UP OLD FARCE
City Clerk Gets New Set of Dog Tags
for the Kenosha Dogs in 1910

The old farce of collecting or at
tempting to collect dog taxes in Keno
sha is to be continued for another
year and City Clerk Harrington has
secured new set of the tags to be
handed out to the licensed CANNES
during the year 1910 Under the law
the tax is due the first week in Octo-
Der, but it is thought that this year
the taxes will come in very slowly.
The money collected in this manner
goes to the funds of the police pen
sion fund and during the year just
closing the police officers made an eff
fort to collect the tax impartially, but
it is admitted that even with these
strenuous efforts less than half the
dogs in the city paid taxes. 1t is
just possible that an effort will be
made to appeal the dog tax ordinance
at the next meeting of the Common
Council as it is known that many of
the members of the Council are dis
gusted with the manner in which the
ordinance has been enforced.

PLUNGED FORTY FEET
Former Kenosha Man Meets With Ter
rible Accident at st. Charles, ILL.,


Ira Huntley, former Kenosha man
now living at st. Charles, ILL.,, met with
a terrible injury at that city few
days ago when he plunged forty feet
from the top of an embankment to the
surface below. : Midway in his fall
his head struck an iron rail and he
Landed in a pile of rocks at the bot
tom of the excavation. Huntley was
at work on the abutments for new
bridge and hundreds OF people were
watching the men at the work at the
time of his sensational plunge through
the air. He was removed to the st.
Charles Hospital and he is still receiv-
ing treatment there. Huntley left
Kenosha about year and half ago
and since that time he had been work
ing with the Roemheld Bridge Con
struetion Company. 1t was his duty
to stand on the edge of the excava,
ton for the bridge and operate the
big crane used for handling the vari-
Gus materials used in the construction
of the bridge. He was engaged in
this work when he lost his balance
and fell. While Huntley is still abive
it is feared that the accident may re-
suit fatally.
The injured man was a member of
Pike Woods Camp of the Modern
Woodmen of America and widely
known among the Woodmen of Ke-
nosha.

CONDEMN MORE TERRA GOTTA
1O4 Pieces of Terra Gotta of Govern
ment Building Condemned

Government Inspector E. 2. Boyd
in charge Of the erection Of the new
Kenosha post office, has condemned
104 more pieces Of the terra Gotta
shipped to Kenosha for the building
and this will all have to be recast. It
is probable that this will bring an
other delay in the building, but as all
hopes of getting the building ready
this year have already been abandoned
it is probable that the terra Gotta
men will have plenty Of time to get
the new pieces ready before the open
ing of the new building season of next
year. Under the provisions of the
contract the building was to be ready
for occupancy by the first of Deem
Der of this year and the contract pro-
vides a penalty Of $40 a day for each
day of delay after that time. The
work is still going on at the building
but the amount that can be done is
limited and in q short time the work
will all be stopped to wait for the
coming of the terra Gotta to replace
the material condemned by Inspector
BOYD.
