sl38 TO OTHER COUNTIES
Racine and Kenosha Counties Were
the Only zones in the First District
to Fail to Share in the Second Allot-
ment of Money.

County Clerk Russell H. Jones today
received from the Wisconsin State
Highway Commission statement of
the apportionment of the state fund
for the year 1912. Of the $35O,000
levied for highway taxes the county of
Kenosha will receive $3.50 or $l58
less than the total amount apportioned
TO this county The report Of the COM
mission shows that Kenosha county
might have received q great deal more
money from the state this year as the
total amount apportioned $61,251, was
not claimed by the counties to which
| it was apportioned. In counties where
an excess of the amount apportioned by
the state had been levied for road pur-
poses the county received 81 per cent
of the excess levied so that the amount
for Kenosha county might have been
increased by more than $4,000. Rock
county received an excess of $1,721
over the amount petitioned for; Wal
worth county received a second allot-
ment of 1866 after the entire amount
petitioned for by the county had been
paidA Green county got $2,358 from the
second allotment, making a total for
that county from the state fund So, 743.
| Waukesha county received a total of
$40 more than had originally been APP
portioned for the county. In the first
cor ress1onal district Kenosha and
Racine were the only counties which
failed to participate in the second al
lotment Of the fund.

asked to make an effort to find some
trace Of Annie Bower, aged IA years
and Annie Schroeder, aged 16, two Ke-
nosha girls who disappeared from the
plant of the Chicago -Kenosha Hosiery
Company at noon Friday. The absence
of the girls was not discovered until

The amounts raised by the above
towns demand $4,000 state aid for
roads and $3.50 for bridges, total
Of $3.50.
Kenosha county paid 1.517 precent

titled to 1.517 per cent of the $3.50, 900
state highway fund available for dis
tribution for state aid construction in
