WANT PETITIONS NOW
Property Owners Seeking
improvements Should
Get Busy at Once.
MUST DO PREPARATORY WORK

Members Of the city council are
urging property owners in the city
who desire street improvements next
year to get in the petitions for this
work at an early date in order that
the council may order all preliminary
work done this year. On some Of the
streets which are to be improved sew
ers are to be built and connections to
be put in and if the council has
chance to act on petitions at this time
lit will be possible to have all of this
work done during the summer and late
fall ard permit the streets to have
time TO settle before the paving work
is done. 1t is expected that 1913 will
be record breaking year for street
Improvement and petitions are now be-
ing circulated on several of the streets
of the city. Some of these people
would like to have the paving done
this year but this will be impossible
on account Of the amount of work to
be done. The Street Assessment COM
mittee expects to have all work now
under contract completed by the mid
Idle of October. just as soon as the
work of paving Exchange street is
completed Contractor Petersen will
finish up Union street and then move
west to Fremont avenue and Pleasant
street. He expected to have the work
ON both of these streets completed this
season but the work is being badly
delayed on account of the failure of
other contractors to get in sewers and
connections
The White Construction Company is
rushing work in Kenosha South
street will be completed this week and
the entire force employed by the com
pany will be put to work on Lake av-
|enue. 1t is expected that the work on
this street will be ready for the in
spectlon OF the council Dy the frst
meeting in July. Now that the ques-
ton of grades has been settled the
work is going forward without delay
and the White Company promises to
establish record in completing the
paving of the street. The work on
Lake avenue will close up the asphalt
paving planned for the city this year
but these streets promise to become
more numerous in the future and it is
thought that with South street and
Lake avenue as examples Of this sort
Of pavement other property owners
will seek to have streets improved
with asphalt.

The most discouraging thing tea
cher has to contend with is the lack
Of interest shown by parents and
guardians in the progress and devel-
opment Of the children in the schools.
Most parents ceem to carry the idea
that their resp visibility ceases the
minute the children are turned over
to the teacher and not the least i'm
portant departure in modern educa-
tional methods is the constant effort
to induce parents to take an intelli-
gent interest in the schools to which
they confde their children during the
most critical period of their lives.
This effort has been partially success
full in Kenosha as evidenced by the at
tendance at school exhibits, lectures
and entertainments of various kinds
and while at present the interest in
the schools is by no means what it
should be the change from the old
apathy and indifference is so marked
that there is ground for hope that in
time all Of the influences which sur
round the children may be found
working in unison and harmony for
their best development instead at cross
purposes which is too often the case
at present

AS was expected the enforcement Of
reasonable regulations for the saloons
has not resulted in any falling off in
the number of applications for saloon
Licenses but the enforcement Of these
regulations and the promises OF the Ii
cense committee of the council to
carefully scrutinize the records of all
applicants has influenced the brewery
interests to put better men in charge
of some of the places they manage
The council revoked the license of one
place that had been in constant trou-
BILE with the police and this warning
has been taken to heart by some of
the men who have been maintaining
disorderly places. Furthermore the
men who own their own places are
waking up 10 the fact that their bust
ness has been injured and may even
be said to have been put in jeopardy
by very small minority of saloon
men who persist in defying regula-
tion and they are through backing the
offenders.

OBSERVE NEW RULES
Navigation Made Safer Fol-
lowing the Sinking of
the Titanic.
LAKE BOATS BETTER EQUIPPED

Passengers on the regular lake
steamers, and excursion steamers ply
ing out of Chicago, will be given more
protection this summer than in any
other season in history.
The fate of the Titanic has caused
steamship owners to take added pre-
cautions against loss Of life on The
great lakes. According to Captain
Ira B. Mansfield, federal steamboat in
spector for the port of Chicago, every
steamship which left Chicago for the
last few years has complied with the
federal regulations in regard to the
carrying of lifeboats.
The federal regulations state that
each regular steamer shall sarry life
boats life> RATS and life preservers
sufficient in number to accommodate
all the passengers. But with the ex-
cursion steamers the case is different,
he stated. 1t would be impossible to
enact legislation of this kind in re-
gard to the excursion steamers, as the
boats would not have room enough on
deck for any large number of life
boats.
Still, the excursion steamers, he de-
clared, had provided all the ifeboats
they could carry and had added large
numbers of life preservers. The boats
RATS and preservers are more rigidly
inspected than ever before.

TAKE UP MANY PROBLEMS
Kenosha Business Builders Club to
Discuss Problems of Civic Life.

In connection with the Kenosha
Business Builders Club, which is being
projected in this city, and which will
link-up with the philosophy of bust
building, it is proposed to organ
ize committees from the membership
of the club looking to more effectual
application of the principles embodied
in the science Of business, than could
be done by individuals lacking coop
GRAFTON. There will be committees on
such subjects as Personal Efficiency in
the case Of the employee; Service by
the Institution to the Customer; The
Elimination of Errors both Individual
and Institutional; City Building; Mu-
nicipal Advancement and Growth;
Transportation; Manufacture Importa-
ton and Expectation; etc. These com
mittees will have the aid Of A. T.
Sheldon and the Official Instructor of
the Sheldon School, in handling the
subjects german to their investiga-
tion from meeting TO meeting through
out the course of fourteen lectures to
be delivered as part of the plan.

The motives which prompt the at
tempts to form village organization
by the property owners On the out
skirts of the city to the south and
west can be readily understood, but
we believe that when the matter has
been investigated further that the
only practical plan to give the resi-
dents of that locality what they want
in the line of public utilities will be
found to be annexation to the city
With what money the property own
ers could put into village organiza
ton they would be very little if at all
better off than they are at present.
The indications are that this city has
entered upon new era of practical
business administration of municipal
affairs that will return the taxpayers
dollar for dollar on all investments in
public improvements and any property
coming into the city will share in the
benefits The old days when the city
treasury was regarded as simply COW
to be MIXED are passed. Kenosha
has something to offer the residents
of its suburbs now in the way of good
government, an unsurpassed public
school system, sewers, water, police
and fire protection and we believe that
the great majority of these people will
conclude that their interests and those
Of the city are mutual and identical
and come in for bigger and better
city.

POLICE DOCKET LIGHT
Saturday Night aud Sunday Brings
Only Two Arrests to the Police

O-A@J = W. 1AAASOtS w taC - O1ASC
Saturday night and Sunday estab-
lished new record for the police de-
partment and only two arrests were
made. in the forty eight hours. The
municipal court docket was cleared
this morning in just four minutes and
the only case was one for disturbance
in which Joseph skotski paid a fine
of one dollar and costs The charge
against Skotski looked as if it might
prove real interesting, he being at first
accused Of pointing a rifle at three
men at the Rambler hotel on Saturday
night. The rifle was in evidence at
the police court but Skotski declared
in no uncertain language that it had
not been used and the police after an
Investigation arraigned him on a
charge of disturbance. He paid the
fine. The men who are said to have
been close to the business end of the
rifle appealed to the district attorney
to take the matter up and some other
charges may be made later

More than four hundred children
were, killed last year while playing in
the Streets Of New York. In answer
to recent complaint that children
ought to be kept off the streets, DR..
Luther H. Gulick writes:
''Play is as essential to childhood
as bread. In our great cities we are
appropriating all the vacant places for
buildings and traffic. III that is left
for the children is the street.
What are the children to doc Is
it a matter of charity or philanthropy,
or question that concerns the city, to
have 400 children killed in its streets,
and innumerable boys and girls turn
ed into little savages because they are
following the fundamental instinct Of
their nature BY getting active physi-
cal exercise out Of doors?
Have not the children the funda-
mentel American rights to life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness? If
SO, we have no right to take away
their age-long use of the most avail
able out of doors place to play-in
this case the without giving
them something equivalent. 1t is not
the fault Of the parents that children
use the street as playground. Child
ren cannot play in the average home

BRING SUITS X CITY COURTS
City Attorney Instructed to Make Pre-
parations to Collect All Outstanding
Taxes-To Sell the Taxes to the
County Later.


The finance committee of the COM
mon council is planning to make
strenuous efforts to collect outstanding
personal taxes and some of the "weil
known men of the city will in few
days probably find themselves in court
to answer in suits brought by the city
to collect personal property taxes.
The return of the taxes shows a
total of 500 unpaid personal taxes this
year and the council committee has
been instructed to collect these taxes
even though it should be necessary to
take the matter into the courts or levy
on household furniture and sell it on
the public square. City Attorney John
10. Slater has been furnished with a
list of the delinquents and he will be
instructed to collect the taxes regard
less OF the methods necessary to get
the money. For years the city has
been carrying on its records uncollect-
led personal taxes and it is expected
that the unpaid taxes in the future
will be sold to the county the same as
the taxes levied against real estate.
The small amounts due for personal
taxes in many cases are assessed
against men who were prominent in
the business and social life of the city
and these men have declined to pay
these small amounts for the support
of the city. 1t is probable that with
in a short time formal printed no
tice will be given to all delinquents
the same as is given for the delquents
for real estate taxes. The police will
be given list Of the delinquents and
these people will be given chance to
settle with the police before the mat
ter is turned into the regular chan
mel of the courts. If the city is fore
ed to sue in court to collect the taxes
it is probable that in nearly every
case the court costs will be consider
ably greater than the original amount
of the tax. There are no large items
in the unpaid personal list this year
The new plan of selling the unpaid
personal taxes to the county in the
same manner that the unpaid realty
taxes are sold will probably be adopt
ed by the city next year. However,
before these taxes are turned over to
the county the city treasurer will be
forced to make diligent efforts to col
.lect them The treasurer now main
tains his office at the city hall and
payments must be made to him in the
near future if the publicity of court
action is to be avoided.
There are now personal taxes dating
back several years and the city is
making an effort to collect all of these
amounts. There is no doubt as to the
right of the city to collect these taxes
and the members of the committee are
hopeful that many of the delinquents
will settle with the treasurer before
suits are filed.

1t is impossible to even hazard a
guess as to the amount the work of the
state fire marshal s Office has saved the
people of the state and the insurance
companies since this important state
department was established but it is
safe to admit that it must have been
many times the cost of its mainten-
ance. The losses during that period
may not have decreased appreciably
according to The statistics published
by the companies but the increased
precautions against accidental fires
following the warnings and inspect
ions of the fire marshals and the de-
creased moral hazard must have their
effect and will show results in the av-
erage of the ten year period. The sure
knowledge that all suspicious fires will
be investigated by experts must have
good effect in cutting down the in
cendiary fires in the state.

ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
G. D. Holt Arrested on Charge of Elk
posing Poison for Dogs.

G. D Holt, prominent among the
farmers of the county, was arrested at
his home on Ashland avenue this morn
ing charged with exposing poisoned
meat with an intent to get rid of
dogs. He was taken before Judge
Randall and the hearing Of the case
continued until next Tuesday Bonds
were placed at 5000. The offense is d
very serious one and the arrest of Mr..
Holt on SUCH a charge brought some
thing of sensation. He declared
in court that he was not guilty of the
charge, but the police assert that the
charges against Holt are based on
statements made by members .of his
own household.
