Use Old County Building for q
Year After Lease Expires
DELAYS CITY HALL PROJECT
County Bo.,rd Will at Once Make Suit
able Changes in Council Chamber
for Use as Municipal
Court Chamber

The members Of tie ptesent City
Council will probably not have to
wrestle with the question Of providing
for new City Hall for Kenosha
I as at conference between the mem
bers of the County Board, Mayor
SchOley and Alderman Werner, chair
man of the Council committee on build
ings and water works on Tuesday af-
ternoon an agreement was reached by
which the city may have the use Of the
old county building as City Hall for
at least two years. The County Board
in order to get home for the new
Municipal Court at this time accepted
the proposition which had been made
by the Commission named by the mayor.
This proposition provides that the city
fshall use the west room in the present
City Hall as an. office for the city clerk
and the large room in the building
as a Council chamber free Of rent until
rthe first of next March and if at that
time the city has made no arrange
.ments for new quarters the County
Board has agreed to continue the same
for another year. In re-
turn the city will vacate the office now
used by the city engineer and it will
be used as an office for the Judge and
clerk of the new court The County
Board agrees to refurnish the room to
be used for the Municipal Court and it
is expected that the improvements will
be OF permanent nature. IF posi-
BILE some new plan will be worked out
for the arrangement of the desks of the
members of the Council so that it will
not be necessary to change them after
each meeting of the Council.
The office of the city engineer and
the City Water Company is to be moved
to the west half of the Benedict and
Tarbell building occupying the Offices
now used by the superintendent of
schools and the private Office of Mayor
Scholey. 1t is expected that the water
company will pay portion of the rent
for these Offices.

pairs of wings, the front pair close
to their heads, the back pair behind
the others. The fore wing Of the cica-

How an Ostrich Eats ORANGES.

At the Cawston ostrich farm in South
Pasadena, CAL, there is veteran bird
called Emperor William. The Emperor
makes a daily practice of catching In
midair oranges which are thrown to
him and guiping them down whole.
He has been known to have as many
as dozen Of the big round fruit going
down his slim neck at once, making
the latter look not unlike string of
immense beads. Although he has on
several occasions eaten as many as
thirty-fve or forty oranges in success
sion, he is in good health at the ripe
ostrich age of twenty-three years. The
food seems to agree with him.

London Pavements In the Old Time.
Occasionally side pavement added
to the comfort OF the foot passengers
and spared them the necessity OF
foundering through the deep mire OF

ever, were only partial, and passengers
made use of the highway, soft with
mud and filth thrown from the houses
and obstructed with heaps Of manure,
which dogs and swine made their lair
The latter animal was so useful scav-
enger and could be kept at SO little ex-
pense as to account for the pigsties
which stood in the main streets Of all
our towns, even in London. When a
royal procession was expected to pass
along the narrow roadway dogs and
pigs were driven indoors and gravel
was thrown down to make the road
passable. Usually, however. the streets

their fore wings. The process is much
like that of a violin bow scraping
across the stiff fiddle strings, though
the sound made is not much like violin

Another queer thing about the cica-
da family is that they seem to have
their ears stuck around almost any old
place about their bodies. Crickets,
katydids and the long horned grass
hoppers have their organs of hearing
in their fore legs. Locusts and short
horned grasshoppers have theirs in
their sides.
