The petition for the much needed paw
ing on Salem avenue was presented to
the meeting of the council Monday
evening but there is only chance that
any Of the work can be completed this
fall even if it is decided to go ahead
with it as soon as possible. The con-
tract for the work cannot be let until
after the next meeting of the council
in November and by that time it is
feared that the freezing weather will
be here and little or nothing can be
done. The failure to get this work COM
pleted this fall will be disappointment
to all of the people in that section of
the city to whom the condition Of the
street has long been an eyegore, but
there does not seem to be any help for
it unless the city is favored with I'M
usually mild weather late in the fall.
The stretch of road between the city
paving and the macadamized road in
Pleasant Prairie is the worst in the
country if not in the state and to make
the matter worse it has been one of the
most travelled roads into the city. The
city may decide to go ahead with the
paving work the minute it is possible
to do so legally no matter how unfav-
Orable the prospects are that much of it
can be completed, on the theory that it
would be impossible for the contrac-
tors to leave the street in any worse
condition than it is now when the com
ing of winter stops operations.

The ordinance which forbids the
burning Of leaves and other refuse on
the paved streets Of the city appears to
be dead letter for no attention has
been paid to the violations of the ordi-
nance which are going on constantly on
every paved street in the city. If the
heads Of the street cleaning department.
have any desire to do effective work
they must demand the enforcement OF
this ordinance to the letter. It is g
waste Of time and money to attempt to
clean up when the ashes of dozens of
fires are permitted to blow everywhere
and anywhere.

In the effort that is being made to
settle all claims for damages in con-
nectiOn with the building of the trunk
sewer, the contractors are giving salts
factory evidence of their belief that the
council means business in it's declara-
tion that the settlement of all pending
claims must be a condition precedent
to any effort to arrive at a final settle
ment of the bill for the big sewer. 1t
it also an indication that the so-called
acceptance of the sewer signed by
some ex-oficials of the city is not re-
garded as being worth much under pres

made party to any suits or claims for
damages, and if the sewer had really
been accepted by the city the city Off

The usual complaints of the depre-

and farms in the vicinity Of the city
are beginning to come in accompanied
by the usual threats of the sufferers to
resort to shot guns to protect their
property, but if the farmers viii do
their part in reporting promptly the
county officials should be able to dis
courage this form of petty larceny to
a considerable extent. In these days OF
rural telephones and automobiles it
should be possible to make it interesting
for a good many of these thieves.

The holders of liability insurance,
and there are about 1000 of them in
the state, are watching with that in
terest which is only aroused when the
pocket book is affected, the develop
ments is the threatened rate war
among the leading companies writ
ing this class of risks. A year
ago, when the employees compen-
sation law first went into effect
the companies had no data upon which
to base any figures on the probable
effect of the law on their business and
it is reasonable to suppose that the
rates were set at level which would
hold the companies safe against any
severe losses. 1t is now declared that
the experiences of the past year have
shown that the business can be COZ
Quoted proftably and safely on much
lower scale of rates than is in force at
present and that sharp break in rates
may be expected in the near future.
While it will require the averages Of
ten year or longer period to fix rates
with any degree of accuracy, the show
ing made in the first year of the opera
tion of the compensation act is such
as to give ground for the hope of the
advocates of the measure that it can
soon be shown that the employers who
have decided to accept the provisions
Of the act are much better risks from
the standpoint of the liability insur-
ance companies than those who elected
to remain on the old basis and en-
titled to a lower rate.
