TO GRADE SALEM AVENUE.
City officials Find it Impossible to
Start Work of Paving This Season.

City of1cials Find it Impossible to
Start Work of Paving This Season.
City Engineer August Baltzer this
morning issued an order for the grad
ing of Salem avenue, the street com
mittee having decided that it would
be impossible to start the work of
paving the avenue this year. The
street will be dragged down smooth
and rolled and it is thought that this
work will be sufficient to put it into
condition chat viii make it passable
for the winter months. The plans for
paving will be carried forward during
the winter with the plan of having the
paving completed the first of next sea-
son Strenuous efforts had been made
to complete the work this year on ac-
count of the fact that a present of
$500. had Eeen offered the city. This
was with the condition that the work
be completed this year

DECISION rs REVERSED
Supreme Court Reverses the Decision
in the Donahue- Gunter Case.

The Supreme Court Of the state
handed down decision on Tuesday
reversing the decision Of the Circuit
Court of Kenosha county in the suit
of Edward Donahue against former
Sheriff William H .Gunter. The suit
has been in the courts Of Kenosha
county for several years and the re-
versal of the decision of the Circuit
Court will probably mean another
trial in the lower court. The amount
at issue in the case is less than hund.
red dollars but the small sum has been
the basis Of bitter court struggle.
The case was heard in the local court
by Judge Parish of Ashland.

State Apportionment for
Kenosha County Much
Less Than Demanded.
MAY Be FORCED TO REFUND
State Apportions but S5,S1S.91 for aid
of Highways in This County While
$16,800 Had Been Demanded Accord
ing to the Provisions of the new Law.

Roseate dreams of good roads en-
thusiasts in the city and county for
the coming year were given rude
bump on Wednesday when the state
highway commission at Madison made
the apportiorment of the highway
fund to the different counties in the
state and Kenosha county is to re-
ceive but $5,813.91 from the state fluid
for next year. The county, of Kenosha
had made a requisition for $16,S00 on
the commission in order TO meet the
funds that had been raised by tho
various towns in the County and by
private subscription. It was planned
to expend $50,400 on highways in Ke-
nosha county next year, but if the
state is to be followed by the county
and the various towns the total amount
to be expended will be only little
over $4,000.
The state commission had total of
$350,00O to apportion among the
counties of the state and fine demands
We're so general that the fund was al
together inadequate to meet the re-
QUESTIONS. Kenosha is not the only
county in the state where the state
commission has failed to meet the de-
mand for money for highways and it
is said that in nearly every county
the amount named by the state is
smaller than the amount asked
InreA plans. are being considered in
order to. carry out the work as plan
ned for the coming year One is to
have the state legislature pass bill
granting an increase in the amount
for highway aid. This would be posi-
bic and have the money available dur
ing the road building season. The
second plan would provide for the
county board to make tax levy Of
a little over $4,000 which would
make possible the expenditure of the
money appropriated by the towns and
by private individuals. The third
plan is to expend simply the amount
that is provided by the state with
proportionate amounts from the towns
and the county. This plan # followed
would provide for the return of some
of the money raised in the towns. The
trouble that has now arisen has shown
the weakness of the state aid law and
it is pretty certain that some plan viii
be made for the amendment of the
law at the next session of the legisla-
ture.
Local leaders in the road work seem
to think that the best plan would be
to have the county board make an ap-
preparation which would take care of
the deficit in the amount given by the
state. These men were not surprised
at the apportionment made by the
state and they declare that they had
not expected that the STATE would
furnish to the county the full amount
asked. However, they expected that
the amount apportioned by the state
would be considerable more than 1he
$5,813 The matter will be thoroughly
canvassed before the meeting of the
county board and it is expected that
the friends of the road movement will
have some plan worked out. Tie
main objection to the large levy by
the county board is the fact that such
a levy would demand an unusually
large amount from the city for county
highway taxes.

COURT HITS BIG JUDGMENT.
Supreme Court Reverses Decision of
Jury in Chas. Covelli Damage Suit.

Jury in Chas. Covelli Damage Suit.
The supreme court of the state on
Tuesday handed down a decision re-
versing the verdict Of the jury in the
suit of Charles Covelli against the
Cooper Underwear Company, Covelli,
who had sued the company for dam
ages following an injury in picker
machine, secured from the jury, YER
diet Of $4,000. The attorneys for the
company held that the plaintiff had
been guilty of contributory negligence
and at once appealed the case to the
supreme court. The case was one of
the most bitterly contested cases of
the kind ever tried in local court.
It is expected that the order of the
supreme court will demand a new trial
of the action.

Total of special charges. IS S,472.74
At the present time there is close
to forty thousand dollars in the
treasury Of the county and with this
large sum on hand it should be posi-
BILE to greatly reduce the amount Of
the county taxes. Even if it is found
advisable to build the sanitorium this
year it is not thought that it will be
necessary to levy county tax in ex-
cess of $4,000. If this reduction is
made it is probable that the city
finance committee will find reduc-
ton of from $4,000 to $4,000 in
the amount to be expended for state
and county taxes this year.

CUT OFF UNIVERSITY TAXES
State Officials Also Cut Off Amount
Levied for Support Of Normal Schools
County Board May Find it Posi-
b!e to Reduce County Taxes.

County Clerk Russell II. Jones this
morning received from the secretary
of state the annual levy of state taxes
for Kenosha county and the record re-
duction Of 100000 made recently
at the order Of the state officials has
been reflected in the county taxes. 1t
is probable that the county will have
to pay for the reduction next year,
but all favors, small as they may be
along this line, are thankfully re-
ceived by the county and city officials
in making up the annual budget.
The total state taxes to be paid by
the county this year is $51 ,499.11 as
compared with $62,573.7S in the pre-
ceding year. In addition to this there
is a charge of $8,472.74 as special
charges against the county for support
Of inmates in the various state insti-
buttons, this being little less than
$500 increase over the amount levied
for the same purpose last year.
The big item Topped off the tax roll
this year by the state is the support
Of the state university There has
been a lot of political activity against
the university tax and it is probable
that this had something to do with this
tax falling under the axe last week.
Last year Kenosha paid $16,130.89 for
the support of the institution and this
year no tax is returned for this pur-
pose. The tax for the support of the
state normal schools is also cut off this
year. This tax was cut off last year
after the tax statements had been
sent to the various counties. The in
crease in the state highway tax to be
paid by Kenosha county this year is
only few dollars. Taxes levied for
other funds show small decrease over
the amounts levied for the same funds
last year. The detail Of the state as
tsessment shows the following figures:
