STILL MAKING PAPERS
Foreigners Follow Election Custom in
Taking Out First Papers

Notwithstanding the fact that they
will not be permitted to vote on them
the foreigners Of Kenosha are follow
ing the usual election custom of TAX
ing out first papers in the few weeks
previous to election and since the
opening of this month nine first papers
have been issued by Clerk Of the Cir
cult Court Waldo. The new constitu-
tional provision providing that aliens
may not vote unless they took out
papers before the first of last December
does not seem to be generally under
stood in the city and it is expected
that there will be the usual rush. How
ever, this may be, none of these peo-
pie will be permitted to vote at the
election. Interested people are taking
the names Of every man to whom first
papers have been issued since the first
day of last December and when these
papers are presented at the polls the
man will be refused the right of suf-
frage. AS there was no registration
this year the election officials are ex-
pecting a good deal of trouble over
the new law, but they will have strict
instructions to see to it that it is lived
up to to the very letter. The men voting
on first papers issued after the first Of
December of last year may be arrested
for illegal voting and prosecuted under
the same statute as would hold in any
other arrests for illegal voting. The
foreign people of the city who are
leaders have been advised of these
facts in order to prevent the illegal
voting of the aliens.

ASKS COUNCILS AID
Kenosha Electric Railway Co.
Will Begin Work on Grand
Ave. in the Near Future
WILL RUSH THE EXTENSIONS

The Kenosha Electric Railway Com
.pany is planning to start work imme-
diately on the building of the line on
Grand avenue and in order to facilitate
this work the assistant superintendent
of the company last night urged the
Common Council to take immediate
steps to have the telegraph and tele-
phone companies remove the poles on
the street.. Under the franchise which
provides for the building Of the line
on Grand avenue it is necessary for the
company to widen the pavement west
Of the tracks Of the Northwestern Rail
way Company and in order to do this
it will be necessary to have all II .1e
poles moved at once. I1!- eon1.,ss>
plans to have this line ready for opera
ton at the earliest possible moment.
With the building of the line on
Grand avenue the company will seek
to have the line to the Northwestern
depot opened. The tracks for the most
Of this line have been laid now for
more than a. year, but the company has
made no steps to fill in the short gaps
which will make it possible to operate
the line. The special work for the
curves on this line has been laying in
Kenosha since Nov. of 1907 and the
line could be completed in few days
work. This would also make possible
the completion of the pavement on
West Main street. AS the company is
to abandon the tracks along South
street just as soon as an Elizabeth
street settlement can be made and it
appears now as if the property owners
will be willing to allow the company
to put in short switch at the corner
of Elizabeth street and West Main
street. The building of the new lines
can easily be completed during the
coming summer if the company is not
hampered by injunction and similar
troubles and it is not thought that any
effort will be made to throw this sort
of trouble in the way Of the company.
The Council will act on the suggestion
of the company at the next meeting
of the Council so that there will be
no delay in the removal of the poles
when the company is ready to proceed
with laying it's tracks and the repaving
of Grand avenue.

pie just how new chapter Of the

the. order, both in Kenosha and Lake
Geneva. The special train will bring
the party back to Kenosha sometime
during the night.

Badger Brass Purchases Property
Of Davy Clay Ballast Co.
Fronting on Pleasant St.
WILL ENLARGE PLANT AT ONCE
Company Plans for Large Building to
be Completed Early in the Sum-
1ner-Many Offers for Visi-
BILE Typewriter Plant

The Badger Brass Manufacturing
Company is planning for large ex-
tension of it's plant during the coming
spring and summer and site for the
new portion Of the plant was purchased
on monday afternoon when a deal was
closed by which the company purchas-
ed the south half Of the property own
ed by the Davy Clay Ballast Company
which adjoins the plant. The new
building is to be of saw tooth construc-
ton and it will take in the space pur-
chased east of the present buildings Of
the plant and extending to the switch
tracks. This building will be used for
lamp making and work on it will be
started just as soon as the weather will
permit. The rapid increase in the BUSH
ness of the company has made it neces
sary for the plant to be enlarged and
the new buildings will make possible a
large increase in the business and an
addition of many men to the pay roll.
AS the company recently purchased the
plant of the Visible Typewriter Com
pany, it now has control Of nearly all
Of the land in the large block bounded
by Pleasant street on the east, Ly-
man avenue on the west, Strong street
on the south and Elizabeth street on
the north. The Davy Clay Ballast
Company retains the property on which
the main plant is situated on Elizabeth
street and it will be necessary for one
of the buildings of this plant to be
moved in order to make room for the
new building to be erected by the Bad
ger plant.
The Badger Brass Company is not
making any plans for the use of the
old plant of the Visible Typewriter
Company and it is an open secret that
this plant is on the market and there
is a, strong probability that it will be
sold within short time. w. L. Yule,
one of the officials Of the Badger Com
pany, stated Monday evening that at
the present time the company had half
dozen propositions for a sale Of the
old Visible plant and that it was posi-
BILE that one Of these would be closed
up before the end of the present week.
Mr.. Yule declined to give out the
names of the companies negotiating
for the purchase Of the big plant, but
insisted that all of them were reliable
people and that if the sale of the plant
was made it would be to company
that would operate it. At the present
time portion of the plant is being
used in the manufacture Of the Petrol
Automobiles under the direction of S.
! w. Watkins. The Petrol car has made
good and there is now a big demand
for the cars. The output of the com
pany at the present time is limited
but it is possible that before the end
,of another year the plant will grow
into one Of the large industries in the
city.

State Treasurer Has Collected
Over a Million and a Half as
Taxes on State Railways
FEW SMALL LINES ARE SLOW

State Treasurer "A. FL. Dahl has
practically completed the collection of
one million and half Of dollars III
taxes from the railroads in the state,
Two or three smaller railroads Of the
state have not paid yet and an investl.
cation is being made to ascertain il
the smaller lines have merged into
some larger system The railroad taxes
are paid twice year, in February an0
again in August. This was the custom
of paying taxes established when the
old license fee system was in opera
ton and the change TO the ad valorem
plan, recognized in degree the sys
tenn Of paying under the license fee
scheme.
The largest fee to be collected is
from the G.. & n. w. to the amount
Of $343, 777.83 and the next largest was
that of the ST. Paul road of $3.50, 1876

by the Chicago and Lake Superior
Company, but this line had not paid
it's taxes last Saturday, according tc
the records in the office of the state
treasurer. There are about ffty-fve
railroads operating in the state. The
taxes were due on Feb. 10 and nearly
all of the roads had paid at that time

kenosha Men Said To Be Seeking
TO Locate Racine Refrigera.
tor Factory in Kenosha
LOOKING OVER FACTORY HERE
Racine Papers Declare That the Of
ficials of the Company are Pretty
Well Satisfied With PROPOSE
ton Sent From Kenosha

According to dispatches sent out
from Racine there is a possibility of
the Racine Refrigerator Company, the
plant Of which company was recently
destroyed by fire, locating in Kenosha.
1t is claimed that Kenosha men have
made offers to the company and that
these are under consideration Capt.
taists of Kenosha express surprise at
the statement and all of them delare
that they know nothing of the offer.
1t is believed, however, that the Ra-
cine company is negotiating for the
plant formerly occupied by the Visible
Typewriter Co. on Pleasant street The
following statement of the matter is
from the Racine Daily News:
Racine may lose one of it's leading
manufacturing companies as business
men of the city of Kenosha have made
an exceptionally fattering offer to the
Racine Refrigerator & Ice Machine
company to locate in that city. Not
only have the Kenosha men offered
factory building to the company, but
q CCOh OO1lCio/ IDS dlOO DcSu On0I0U.
The offer was made to Peter B. Nell
son, president Of the company, and he
has taken it up with the officers and
stockholders and a meeting will soon
be held at which time it will be de-
cided whether or not the offer shall
be accepted
The plant Of the Racine Rrefriger-
ator Ice Machine company was de-
stroyed by fire week ago and a day
or two later committee Of Kenosha s.
leading citizens came to Racine and
waiting on Mr. Nelson endeavored to
induce him to move his company to
Kenosha offering him good factory
buildings and also a cash bonus, the
amount of which is not made public.
Mr.. Nelson went to Kenosha and look
ed over the bui1ulngs and found that
they were exactly what his company
required for the manufacture of re-
frigerators, ice coolers and ice making
machines. Mr.. Nelson took the matter
up with other officers of the company
and it was decided to submit the
proposition to the stockholders.
MIR. Nelson was interviewed and
he admitted that the offer Of the Ke-
nosha citizens was under consideration,
but he did not know what would be
done. The company is now occupying
two factory buildings, one OF Third
street near Lake avenue and the other
at Racine Junction, to fill orders re-
ceived. At the time Of the fire the
company was unusually busy and refri-
gerators and ice coolers ready for ship
ment were destroyed. The city of Ra-
cine cannot afford to lose any Of it's
manufacturing companies. The Ra-
cine Refrigerator & Ice Machine COM
pany employees upwards Of 100 skilled
mechanics nearly all of which own
| property in Racine. The Racine club
now has the opportunity Of doing some
work in order to keep the company
| from leaving Racine and going to Ke-
nosha. When the plant the Racine
Boat Company was destroyed by fire
the city of Muskegon, Mich, offered
the company large bonus and factory
buildings to move there A suitable
site could not be obtained in Racine
and the company was practically driven
from Racine
