SM|THv|LLE IS READY
New Subdivision on North Side
Of the City Now Formally
Placed on the Market
RUSH THE STREET GRADING

"Smithville, the newest subdivi-
sion OF, the city, made up Of the his
toric old Howe property, fronting Mil
waukee avenue at the. north limits of
the city, IS now ready for the coming
Of home makers. The announcement
that the subdivision would be opened for
the sale Of lots some time ago caused
a boom in property in that portion Of
the city and, notwithstanding the fact
that it has been impossible to give
deeds, forty of the 10 lots have al
ready been sold and the deeds will be
now made out. The work of getting
the final papers took some time on ac-
count of the fact that the Howe heirs
are living in all parts of the country
and in order to get clear title to the
property the purchaser secured deeds
from every heir to the estate. All of
these deeds are now filed and the alb
stract of the title brought down to
date, and walks and streets are being
put in.
Monday afternoon the outbuildings
back of the old Howe homestead were
removed in order to make way for the
extensions of Chicago street to the
north, and the opening and grading of
the streets will now go forward with
out any further delay. Contracts have
been let for 1000 lineal feet of fve-foot
cement walk and this will provide for
10000 square feet Of walk. The grad
ing of the streets will be done in a
systematic manner SO that when the
work is completed the subdivision will
be as well equipped with streets and
sidewalks as any portion of the city.
E. R. Head, the purchaser Of the
property, will rush the sale Of the lots
at this time on account of the fact
that there has been some delay in start
ing the sale and it is expected that
every lot in the subdivision will be dis
posed of before the end of the summer
Already several of the purchasers of
the property have made arrangements
to build homes during the summer
months and it is expected that score
of houses will be erected during the
present summer.
Lots will be sold ranging from 5000
up, some of the lots on Milwaukee
avenue running as high as $500 and
it is certain that the subdivision will
be decidedly popular with the people
of the city seeking ideal sites fol
homes.

WILL AID PURTELL
Chief Of the Fire Department lser.
mann Named as an Assistant
to State Fire Marshal
WOULD IMPROVE CONDITIONS

Chief OF the Fire Department Henry
Isermann is now regularly appointed as
an assistant to the state fire marshal
as State Fire Marshal r. N Purten of
Madison on Monday decided to appoint
chiefs of fire departments of the cities
of the state as assistants to help his
department in improving locaf condis
tions favorable for fEes. He has sub
mitted the plan to many of the chiefs
and they all Endorsed it.
GA short time ago. said Marshal
Purtell, CT sent letter to the FIRE
chiefs of the state, suggesting the plap
Iof appointing them assistants under
the state fire marshal law, thus giving
them power to issue orders correcting
conditions locally, with the idea that
if the plan met with their approval it
would result in a material reduction
of the fire hazard In the replies
which have been received there has
been practically unanimous sentiment
favoring the plan, and although the
appointment would carry no compensa-
tion, there is every reason to believe
that the fire marshal department will
receive hearty and united co-opera-
ton from the fire chiefs throughout
the state.
The work of investigating incendi-
airy and suspicious fires will necessarily
be conducted by the active force of the
department, and will not be expected
of the local fire chiefs. Tt is hoped
that better results will be accomplish
ed in this way than have been posi-
BILE up to this time, as practically all
of the time of the present force is
being taken up in the investigation OF
incendiary fires. During the last SIX
months this investigation has resulted.
in the starting Of twenty criminal suits,
from which two persons have been adj
judged erinlinally insane and sent to
state asylum, three sentenced to the
state reformatory, one to the state
prison, three to the house of correction,
two to the state industrial school and
eight were bound over for trial. In
one other, in which the accused plead
ed guilty, sentence was suspended"

Indiana Candidate
WEISSERT FAy0RS KETcHUM

Sentiment throughout the state of
Wisconsin in i. A. r. circles is strong
for the choice Of Gen. w. E. Ketchum
of Indiana as the next commander in
chief of the Grand Army said Col
A. G. Weissert of Milwaukee. Col
Weissert is himself an ex-commander
in chief, having served in that capaci-
ty from 1892 to 1898. He has been
prominently identified with G. A. R..
politics since the organization Of the
institution and has served in the Of
fees Of senior-vice commander and de-
partment commander, as well as chair
man Of the national committee on PEN
sions. 1t was while member of this
committee that Col. Weissert was
thrown much with Gen. Ketchum.
Gen. Ketchum rendered excellent
service on that committee, Col. Weis-
sert said, and was always on hand
at meetings.

was to be brought before the congre-
gational committee on pensions he
made a strong argument In favor of
desired measures, which resulted in
the passage Of the McCumber bill
which he, urged.
He is one of the finest fellows that
ever lived and is especially fitted for
the Office of commander in chief, as
mis- experience as attorney general and
his close association with G. A. r.
business for many years have given
his detailed knowledge and developed
his Judgment along these lines of
peculiar value to the head Of the army.
"He is a highly educated gentle
man Of dignifed and courtly manner
and he has a splendid war record be-
hind him. He is the general choice
of the g. A. R. from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and I am sure he is going
to be elected, and if he is he will
make an exceedingly good man in the
office
Personally I shall give him my
support and shall exert myself to
have others do the same. j"

CHIEF BACK N BED
wounded Head of the Police Force Has
a Set Back in His Condition

Chief of Police Owen o Hare is back
in bed again at his home on Fremont
avenue as he had the first set back
since he was injured on Monday night.
1t is thought that he caught cold on
Sunday and as a result he had some
fever on Monday night. This morn
ing the physician was called again, but
it is reported that his condition is not
in any way serious. Tie coming of
the fever, however, will interfere with
his plans to resume his work at the
head of the department. and it is prob
able that he will be forced to take a
short vacation before he resumes his
work. He was suffering from weak
ness this morning but this development
was expected by the physicians. The
chief has been granted leave of alb
sence by the Council to attend the
state meeting Of police chiefs in Mil
waukee week after next and it is posi-
bic that he will not return to his reg
ular duties until after he takes this
short vacation. In the meantime the
search for the man who shot him is
being pursued by the other officials, but
no clues Of any value are being found

Beard of Education To Take An

get for School Money
MRS BRADFORD MAY RETURN
New Columbus School to be Ready
for Occupancy by the First of
November and Former Teach
er May be in Charge

HO Dod1u u LuuCdblUu met IL Icy
ular session at the City Hall Tues
day evening and it was expected that
the budget of expenses of the Board
for the coming year would be ready
at this time, but the Board decided
to take another week to make up the
budget and special meeting will be
held on next Tuesday evening before
the meeting Of the Common Council
in order that the budget may be sub
mitted at that time. The budget for
this year will probably be the largest
in the history OF the schools of the
city as the coming year promises to
bring many new expenses. There
will have to be large increase in
the amount appropriated for the use
Of the committee on buildings and
grounds on account of the fact that
the opening Of a new and large build
ing will involve heavy expenditures
for this committee and even if the
main cost of the building is paid for
by money secured through the issu-
anee OF bonds there will still be
large number of expenses which must
be met out of the money appropriated
by the City Council.
The contractors for the new build
ing assured the members of the Board
last night that the building would
probably be ready for occupancy by
the first day Of November and the
plans Of the Board are to open it just
as soon as it is ready. Already there
is some discussion of the principal of
the new building and the name Of
Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, one of the
best educators ever employed in the
Kenosha schools, is being mentioned in
this connection. 1t is not certain that
Mrs. Bradford would return to Keno
sha to take charge Of the new build
ing, but the matter has been taken up
among the members of the Board and
she may be offered proposition to
become principal of the school. Mrs.
Bradford is one of the best known as
we'll as the best qualified teachers in
Wisconsin and there is no doubt but
that many of the people Of Kencsha
would be glad to see her return to
the city in a professional capacity.
This matter, however, will not be
settled until late in the summer, but
| it is expected that principal of the
new building will be elected before
the opening Of the new school year,
The Board received bids for the
coal supplies for the schools for the
coming year, but the bids were not
entirely satisfactory and they were
referred back to the committee on sup
i plies for an Investigation. The COM
mittee will make report on them at
the next regular meeting of the Board
There were six bids for the big con-
tract, the only Kenosha bidders being
the North Shore Fuel and Supply
Company and John O'Donnell. The
committee on teachers was not ready
to report on the selection of teacher
of science in the High School and the
Board granted the committee further
time for the consideration of the mat
ter. 1t is possible that this will be
taken up at the adjourned meeting of
| the Board.
After the usual routine business the
Board adjourned.
