Be Worn at Bathing Beach
DAYTON STREET TO BE PAVED

Chief OF Police Contracted as a
Result of Recent Shoot

The inherent modesty of a north side
politician and public officer holder was
cruelty shocked on last Saturday after
noon by the appearance of one of the
men who appeared at the new bathing
beach and the shock was so great that
at the special meeting of the Common
Council on Monday evening Alderman
q. f. Stemm made formal protest
against the clothing worn by at least
one man at the beach on Saturday
afternoon. The alderman admitted
that the people of the north side were
able to appreciate beauty unadorned,
but that they were not able to appre-
elate the old "fig lea" garment. He
declared that this one official, who will
remain nameless, was so tickled by the
appearance of one of the men in bath
ing trunks that he shook his sides until
he reached the entrance of the Keno
sha Gun Club and then layed down in
mt OF laughter on the porch of the
club house until he collapsed entirely.
Alderman Stemm admitted that it was
just possible that this man was not
accustomed to the bathing suit, but he
insisted that some rules should be
made for the government of the cloth
| ing to be worn about the beach. That
bathing beach is regarded by the MAYOR
as something like his personal property
and he did not take kindly to the sug-
gestion of the alderman from the Sixth.
Indeed, the mayor waxed decidedly
the nameless north side official and de-
clared with the wisdom of a sage that
he supposed that Zone iackass could
laugh at another if he saw fit" and
further that it was his opinion that
the man who came so near collapsing
had a couple under his belt" This
statement was an enigma to number
of. the aldermen, but it was later learn
ed that the mayor had suggested that
the great objector had been drinking.
However, the clothing worn on the
beach will be regulated and the mayor
announced that he would draw ND
set of rules and cause the same to be
published that all who went to the
beach would be advised as to just what
clothing will be demanded for both
man and woman. There has as yet
been no objections to the clothing worn
by the women and children.
The Council left the matter of en-
ploying an attendant at the bath house
In the hands of the committee on har-
Dor and breakwaters with the mayor
added and the salary of this employee
was fixed at $50 month during the sum-
mer months A full report of the funds
collected and expended in the opening
of the bathing beach will be rendered
to the Council by the mayor at the
next meeting.
The people living on Dayton street
between Chicago street and Ashland
avenue have finally won their victory
for the paving Of the street and a petit
ton signed by the proper number of
property owners was presented to the
Council on Monday night. The matter
was referred to the streets and alleys
committee with the understanding that
the paving work will be done this year.
The Council ordered the street commit
tee to have the west one hundred feet
of the sewer on this stretch of street
relaid as it has been unsatisfactory
since it was built and the Council voted
by unanimous vote not to take a
chance of paving over such sewer
The Council voted by a unanimous
vote to pay the hospital and all other
expenses of Chief O'Hare as a result
of the recent shooting holding that as
he was injured while in the perform
ci1NO VI hio OuOJ bhC Wy cnOuIQ pay
the expenses of such injuries.
The Council voted unanimously to
permit a change of the grade on North
street from Milwaukee avenue west and
an ordinance will be passed as soon as
possible carrying out this order. The
Council ordered a catch basin put in
on South Exchange street to take care
of the overflow water from Jerome
Creek
AS the Buffalo Bill show will be in
Kenosha on next Monday evening the
Council decided to adjourn until next
Tuesday evening for the next regular
meeting.
