IMPROVES KENOsHA SERVICE
Boat VIII Garry Freight From Keno
sha to Milwaukee, Racine and Port
Washington With Kenosha as the
Main Port for the Business,


The Hill Steamboat company which
for many years has operated a pas
senger line between Chicago and Mil
waukee, on Tuesday inaugurated a
new service to the northward which
promises to be Of great value to ship
pers in Kenosha as well as those in
other ports along the west shore of
the lake. The service will include
daily trips between Kenosha, Racine,
Milwaukee and Port Washington and
it is planned to make the run per-
manent addition to the schedule of
the company. The steamer Getty of
Marquette, which was formerly on
the Kenosha-W aukegan-C Chicago run
will be used for this new service.
The Marquette will leave Kenosha
daily at 9 a. M, touching at Racine,
Milwaukee and Port Washington and
carrying freight to these points. 1t
will leave Port Washington late in the
evening and make stops at the two
points, reaching this city for the
early morning delivery. The COM
pany has secured the best docking
rights in the three northern cities and
the managers of the company announce
that they will operate the line both
summer and winter. The company will
not take freight from these northern
cities for Chicago as it has an agree
ment with the Northern Transports
ton company which will make such a
course impossible at this time.
"We plan to make this service to
the cities along the west shore north
of Kenosha just AS valuable to the
shippers of Kenosha as the service to
Waukegan and Chicago,'' said one of
the officials of the company this morn
ing. eve have had big demand for
freight service to and from the north
and we plan to make it high grade
service to meet that demand in
every way. For the present the City
of Marquette will be used only as a
freight boat and the passenger service
to the north will have to be mat
ter for the future. The schedule for
the boat has been arranged so as to
provide the best possible shipping
facilities for the cities to be touched.
What we plan is to provide that
freight shipped from any one of the
cities will be delivered within twenty
four hours. -
The new service to the north will
not in any way interfere with the reg
ular service of the Kenosha, Wauke-
gan and Chicago run and this business
will be left for the steamer Flora NJ
Hill to handle. The Hill will leave
Kenosha daily at seven O'Clock in the
morning stopping at Wankegan and
reaching Chicago at eleven O'Clock.
It will leave Chicago at $50 in the
evening and reach Kenosha about
o'clock in the morning. It is the plan
of the company to, give Kenosha the
best possible service.
The business of the company in Ke-
nosha has been growing with great
strides in the past few years and the
company is making Kenosha the prin-
cipal shipping point on the line.

GAAsTRA FIGHT TO Be ENDED
Attorney for Gaastra Declares That
Adjustment Will be Made and Paw
ing Assessments Paid Before the
Date of Sale of Titles.

County Treasurer Charles P. Wallig
today made formal announcement of
the coming sale of tax titles for the
county which is to be held at the
office of the county clerk beginning on
May 10th and continuing until all of
the tax titles have been sold. This
year there is a total of 1913 pieces of
property returned in the city and
county on account of the failure of
owners to pay the taxes in the time
prescribed by law. 1t IS expected that
many of these pieces of property will
be redeemed before the actual sale
takes place but the county is now
charging interest on the amounts in
question. The town Of Pleasant Prai-
RE has broken records this year by hav-
ing larger number Of pieces Of prop
erty with unpaid taxes than the city
Of Kenosha. For the most part, how
ever, these pieces of property are I'M
improved lots directly adjacent to the
city of Kenosha.
The town of Paris and Brighton are
the only towns in the county in which
every cent of the taxes was collected.
However, the amounts returned by
Somers, Randall and Salem are decid-
edly small and only two pieces are re
turned by the treasurer Of the town Of
Wheatland. In past years Wheatland
has been noted for returning a clean
balance sheet in the matter Of the col
tax titles to be sold this year will
amount far up into the thousands. 1t
erty which was in former years re-
turned for the taxes, is not on the
list this year and the taxes on all
save two pieces Of property formerly
held by the railway promoter have
been paid. Many of the titles are
still in the name of Frost on tine as
sessment rolls, but during the year he
made provision for the transfer Of
much if not all Of these holdings to
other people.
Eighteen of the pieces of property
returned by the city treasurer are
owned by Douwe Gaastra and they are
returned for sale on account of the
failure of the owner to pay the paving
tax. These titles are now to be sold,
but it is expected that some adjust
ment Of the differences between Gaas-
ira and the officials Of the city and
county will be made before the date
set for the sale. Notwithstanding the
recent decision Of the supreme court
in which the Gaastra case was decided
in favor of the defendants it is claim
ed that the injunction secured by Gaas-
ira still holds. District Attorney
Henry j. Hastings who has represent
ed Gaastra in the long litigation, stat
ed this morning that he though that
the claims would be adjusted The
total amount of these claims is lit
tie over $4,000 and in addition there
| will be the interest on the claims
since the assessment was made. It is
possible that Gaastra will be able to
buy up the bonds issued against his
property and thus remove the posi-
bility of further trouble in the future.
Any Of the property advertised in
the lists sent out by the county
treasurer may be removed from the
list at any time between now and the
