OIL COMPANY MUST SHOW
GASOLINE ENGINE PERMIT

The Union Oil company will be cited
to appear before the fire commission
and produce it's permit for operating
a gasoline engine at its Ocean View
avenue refinery. This action was taken
on the request of property owners who
live in the vicinity and who fear their
homes will be burned because of the
proximity of the engine.
A portion of this refining plant
burned last month for the third time,
and, according to the representations
of the protestants, it was with difficult
ty that homes in the vicinity were
saved. The fire. it is alleged, was
caused by the gasoline engine. 1t is
asserted the oil company proposes to
rebuild this plant. If it is rebuilt it
is probable the fire commission will
force the company to move its gaso-
line engine to another part of the field.

MAKE S0UNDINGS OF HARBOR
Government Agents Testing Depth of
Water of Kenosha Harbor

Agents of the United States govern
ment are in the city making soundings
of the Kenosha harbor This is done
every two years and it is understood
that the soundings made this year will
be used by the engineer in charge of
the harbor work in this district to de-
termine the needs Of the city in regard
to the improvement Of the harbor The
men are also working with a view
of determining the best possible loca-
ton for a new life saving station in
the Kenosha harbor. Some money is
to be spent on improvements in the
station this year, but it is thought that
in the near future the Life Saving
Board will decide to erect a. new sta
ton nearer the mouth of the harbor
The work of making the soundings will
take up the time Of the engineers for
several days.

MOTH IS REELECTED
City Engineer Moth Named for
His Eleventh Term by City
Council Monday Evening
LITTLE SUPPORT FOR DUANE

Robert HI. Moth was elected city
engineer of Kenosha for the eleventh
consecutive term at the meeting of the
Common Council last night and his cleo
ton by vote Of IL to 5 came as a
recognition of his work on the part of
the members of the Council For some
time there has been a campaign made
for the election of III. J. Duane of Wau-
kegan to the Office Of city engineer and
the election of Mr. Moth to the Office
by so large a majority of the vote Of
the Council came as a surprise to even
his closest friends.
THE usual custom of the Council has
been to elect the engineer at the last
meeting in March. Mr.. Duane had put
in an application for the position two
weeks ago and Monday evening Moth
sent an application to the Council. AS
important matters relating to city i'm
provements are about to be taken up
the members of the Council deemed il
wise to proceed at once to the election
of the engineer. The informal ballot
showed IL votes for Moth, 5 for Duane
and one blank. Alderman Higley OBJ
jected to the informal ballot being de-
clared formal, and on the formal ballot.
Moth was elected getting one vote
more than he had received on the form
er ballot.
Engineer Moth has given the best
years of his life to the office of city
engineer of Kenosha. He was elected
to succeed John B. Davidson in the
office ten years ago and has since held
the office. During his tenure in office
many public improvements of an i'm
portant nature have been made and
while there has been complaint on
grades the work of the engineer has
been largely satisfactory to the peo-
pie Of the city. Mr.. Moth has been att
work on the plans for the trunk sewer
for more than five years and the mem
bers of the Council friendly to his
election insisted that he should be kept
in office until this great work was COM
pleted.
Mr.. Moth will undoubtedly be elected
superintendent of the water works at
the next regular meeting Of the Water
Commission.

ready with a resolution to have the
matter referred to the people at the
coming election, but the resolution was
not presented The matter may be
brought up at a future meeting. Al
derman Pirsch insists that his commit
tee will have lot of interesting facts
to present to the Council when the re-
port is made.
George Meyer was employed as man
ager Of the Kenosha Poor Farm at a
salary Of $500 year, his contract to
date from March Is. Other candidates
for the place were Chester Rapp, J. B.
o 'Hare and Bernard Hermann. Meyer
led on the first ballot and was selected
on the second.
The Council ordered the Kenosha Gas
and Electric Company to place a light
at the intersection of English Court
and Durkee avenue. The light must
be put in and burning by March 10.
The Council decided that the city
should get a set of books to keep tab
on the money expended in keeping up
the poor farm and this Will be taken
up at once. It is the plan Of the
Council to watch the management of
the farm for year with a. view Of
disseminating it if it is not found to
be paying proposition.
The ordinance for the extension of
the switch tracks of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway Company over
Rock street was brought up and put
to vote. It was killed by decisive
vote, the aldermen believing that it
was time to cut out the extension of
switch tracks on down town streets.
After the usual routine business the
Council adjourned to meet on next
Monday evening to consider the sewer
proposition.

MAKE TITLES GOOD
Land Patent Covering Valuable Resi-
dence Property Filed for Record

The title to hundreds of valuable
pieces of residence property in Keno
sha was cleared today when land
patent issued way back in 1910 was
filed for record in tine office of the reg
lister of deeds. The patent covers the
northeast quarter section of the orr
ginal plat Of the county. 1t includes
all property on the south of Prairie
avenue, east Of the Northwestern rail
way and north of Park row. The pat
ent was issued by President Martin
VanBuren to one Jared Lake on April
80, 1910, but had never been made a,
matter of record. Owners of the prop
erty had discovered the error some time
ago and secured duplicate of the pat
ent which is now recorded Much of
the property covered by the title is
valuable as residence property and the
value Of the land at this time would
be in excess of a million dollars.

SEEK CITIZENSHIP
Circuit Court to Act on Twelve Peti-
tions for Second Papers

The coming term Of the Circuit
Court will be a busy one in the matter
of naturalization of citizens, as twelve
petitions for second papers are now
posted for action at this term Of the
court. The annual spring election is
showing an increase in the number Of
first papers issued and in the past week
five foreigners nave declared their in
tention to become citizens. Under the
new naturalization laws it is hard
matter to get second papers as all
names must be posted for at least sixty
days before the court can act on them.
The naturalization cases will probably
be taken up at the opening Of the term
on March Is.

MANY SIDED BECKER
Boy Mayor of Milwaukee Lectures
in kenosha ard Tells of
the italian earthquake
NEW ROLE A C0NGENIAL ONE

Sherburn NJ. Becker, the boy mayor
Of Milwaukee, and the man who has
money enough to cultivate any caprice
that happens to strike him, hit Kenosha
in a. new role Monday nigh when he
appeared et tlAe Rhode Opera House as
a lecturer. It should be said at
the outset that Becker made good, for
while it may seem little unusual that
man who was nowhere near Italy at
the time Of the earthquake could give
q picture of the great disaster Becker
did that very thing and did it in a
manner that proved very interesting to
q good sized audience and his lecture
Monday night would have been one Of
great interest even without his record
behind it. For two hours the former
mayor of Milwaukee spoke on the sub
jeet of Italy and he gave a good ac-
count of the country, it's members and
customs and showed some excellent
views Of the disaster which recently
visited it.
The moving pictures were among the
best ever seen in Kenesha and the
crowd present was high in it's praise
Of the entertainment.
The lecture was strong feature of
the varied program. The audience full
ly appreciated his talk and his voice
easily carried to every part of the
theatre. Mr. Becker is pleasing ard
entertaining talker
He showed the origin of the present
inhabitants of Sicily and the italian
: boot He discussed the various
learned theories as to the causes Of
the recent quake.
The buildings and panoramic views
of Messina, Reggie and other quake
cities before the destruction were
shown.
Then reels and reels of motion pict-
ures were run where the awful debris
from the earthquake is piled in endless
mass.
One Of the salient features of the
pictures was an elaborate presentment
of the work of rescue by the Red Cross
society, the soldiers and sailors of the
various nations and the temporary shell
ter and hospitals erected after the
disaster.
A more complete presentment of the
subject cannot be conceived The
grewsome dead, the agonizing injured
and the fleeing refugees all appeared
as the stern realities of the tremendous
catastrophe.
Many incidental motion pictures
were thrown on the canvas such as the
great feet Of American battleship ar
rival which film was alone worth the
price of admission, and then the "Life
of the Hermit, = tTuney Fishing, -
: A Trip Up and Down Mt. Vesuvius, /"
Life in Naples, Messina and Poler-
mo, and many other features.
