OFFER LAND BUT NOT A BONUS
Company Has Just Been Organized
With Capital Stock of $4,000 ana
it Plans to Erect a Factory in the
Neighborhood of Chicago.

Officials of the Kenosha Industrial
| Association and number of the Of
ficials of the city held conference at
the city hall on Friday afternoon with
the officials of the New Roller Screen
Company, an Illinois corporation which
| is seeking a site for the location of a
plant. The Association has offered to
provide the company with a site for a
plant in the property on the north linn
it's of the city but no bonus of any kind
will be offered the company. The New
Roller Screen Company was recently
organized in Chicago to take over pat
ents granted to J. Erickson of Chi
cage, VINO is the president of the COM
pany. 1t has a capital stock of $751;
900, half Of which has been paid in.
The patent which is to be used is a
device for rolling screen window.
The wire mesh is fitted directly to the
window sash and the screen is rolled
down as the window is put up. A
model Of the product of the company
was displayed and it interested the
Kenosha men deeply. There is no
doubt but that the new patent screen
will be success when it is put on the
market. Mr.. Erickson explained to
the officials of the Association that as
yet only limited number of the
screens have been built and these have
been placed on a number of the most
modern apartment buildings in Chi
, cago and have proven very successful.
The company plans on the erection of
factory just as soon as the weather
will permit. Several acres of land will
be needed for the plant and a two
story building 60x100 feet will be ne
cessary to start the business. Errick-
son is enthusiastic about the business
and insists that within a short time
it will grow TO large proportions.
Mr.. Erickson is inclined to believe
that the company will eventually en-
ploy large number of men and that
the business will grow rapidly. Cad
lilac, Mich, is making bid for the
location of the plant of the company
and the Industrial Association in that
city has offered the company factory
building and stock subscription of
| $4,000. The officers Of the company
seem to be DESTROYS of finding a loca
ton closer to Chicago and it is pretty
certain that Kenosha can land the
plant if it makes proposition any
where near as good as that made by
the Michigan city. Mayor Head and
the officials of the Industrial Associa-
ton have taken the matter under ad-
visement and will make an inspection
of the company and its prospects.

DEPOSITS TOTAL OVER $4,000
Rapid Increase is Shown in the Depos-
It's During the Past Month and it is
Thought That Total Will Reach $780,
900 by End of Another Year.

The annual report of the Postal
Savings bank connected with the Ke-
nosha Post Office has been forwarded
to the department. and it covers the
period from March l, 1912 the date of
the opening Of the bank to the first
day of December set as the end of the
fiscal year for postal banks. The re-
ports show that the postal bank in Ke
nosha has made greater advances in
nine months than had been anticipat-
ed and the steady growth in the depos-
its of the bank gives assurance that
within another year the deposits of the
Kenosha bank will be as large as those
of any city in Wisconsin, outside Of
Milwaukee. William T. Marx, who is
now in charge Of the postal bank is
being forced to give nearly all of his
time to this feature Of the postofice
business and the bank is now being
used by all classes of people. The re-.
port for the nine months shows that
there has been total Of 538 deposits
made and there have been 1876 with
drawals. The bank is being used lar
gely as savings bank and the large
number Of the accounts which have
been opened are continuing accounts.
The total amount deposited in the first
nine months amounted to $12,117 while
the total of the Withdrawals was but
1884 leaving total on deposit the
first day of December Of $10,783. The
total number of accounts opened in
the nine months was 173 and of this
number 81 withdrew their money dur
ing the period leaving total Of 122
open accounts at the end Of the fiscal
yea. The bank has proved a saving
institution for many working men
who use it for deposit of small
amounts weekly and when the amount
reaches certain point the money
is withdrawn. Of course these de-
positors secure little or NO interest
for their money but the bank acts as
an. aid in saving money. The report
shows that the value Of postal savings
cards and stamps sold to date is $84.70.
Most of this amount has been taken by
children too small to open regular
account at the bank. The average de-
posit in the bank is $8S.
There are several Of the depositors
who have reached the limit deposit
of $500 and these people have convert
ed their deposits into Postal Savings
bonds. The month of November
brought the largest deposits in the
history of the Kenosha bank, the total
reaching $2,3s5. Cashier Marx de-
clares that should the present percent
age of increases be maintained through
out the coming year the Postal Savings
bank will have deposits of more than
$4,000 at the end Of the next fiscal
year. 1t is said that the Kenosha bank
has more in deposits than many banks
in the state which were opened MANY
months earlier.

The physicians of the city will have
an opportunity to state their objec-
lions to the site for the tuberculosis
hospital selected by the board of sup
ervisors when the matter comes before
the state board of control or is brought
up again before the county supervisors
when the move is made to straighten
out the title to the property the board
propose to acquire. The views of the
physicians should carry weight with
the board in spite of the fact that
they are a little late in making their
protest. The doctors, through their
medical association, should have made
known their views as to the fitness and
desirability of the different sites offer
ed the board before that body went so
far as to make selection. They are
naturally very much interested in the
choice made and they had a right to
be heard in the matter and majority
of the members of the board would
have been glad to receive and care
fully consider any suggestions the
medical men cared to make. If the
physicians preferred to stand on cere-
mony and wait for an invitation from
the board before making their views
known that part of the proceedings
could have been easily arranged, but
in matter in which every intelligent
man in the community is SO vitality in
terested the little niceties Of profess
sional etiquette could have been waiv-
ed for once without harming anybody.
1t is plain to be seen that there is dis
satisfaction with the selection made
by the board for the site of the insti-
tuition but all sides should be given
an opportunity to be heard when the
matter is reopened and it will then be
possible to judge how strong the OPP
position is and on what it is based.

The municipal water company is out
with the usual notice that it must have
its money before December 16, or the
water will be turned off and the de-
linquent consumers had better heed this
warning unless they prefer to pay the
extra fees for having the water turn
ed again after payment is forced on the
bills. The company is still being OPP
Grated as business concern although
many Of the patrons seem to carry the
idea that because the city owns the
plant they are privileged to let their
bills run along indefinitely.

COST GF CAMPAIGN lOWEp
Total Amount Spent in the County in
Recent Campaign Did Not Exceed
$500 if Accounts Filed With the
County Officials are Authentic.

Friday was the last day for fling
expense accounts of candidates for the
last general election and every one of
the candidates with the exception of
NJ. j. Scholey, democratic candidate
for member of the assembly, complied
with the law The total cost of the
campaign is shown to have been
$2,313.7S, exclusive of the amount
spent by candidate Scholey and that
spent by the committee in charge of
the Equal Suffrage campaign. The re-
ports indicate that the high cost of
living has not increased the cost of
campaigns in the county and the ex-
penditures for this year are several
hundred dollars less than the expendi-
lures reported two years ago. Calvin
Stewart, who ran for congress in the
district, was the most profigate in his
expenditures and his account filed bv,
courtesy in the county shows an ex-
penditure of $250.66. The final re-
port shows that the republicans spent
little more money than the demo
Gratis and this difference can be con
sidered as the difference between the
cost of defeat and victory. The list of
the accounts as filed follows:
Social democratic campaign
committee I. $1,000
Republican campaign committee 572.25
Democratic campaign committee 407.76
George E. Mahoney .......... 1925
Edward Murphy ............. 160.25
B. N. DeDeimar ........ 5000
Leo FL. Flasch ........ $500
James H. Stanton ....... $3.50
Charles P. Wallig ....... 1878
Charles II. Pfennig ...... 67.91
Russell H. Jones ............, $3.50
F. W. B. Achen ......... POLLS
A. L. Drury .......... 1873
Philip Hartman, Jr. .......... 47.75
2. G. Torrev ............ 1926
Frank Waldo .... 500
All the candidates on the social
democratic ticket have filed afidavits
Of no expense. The entire expenditure
of this party was made through the
medium of the county committee
which had a total expense of $155.09.
The committee in charge of the fight
for the ballot for women in Kenosha
county has filed no account and Miss
Emma Robinson, who acted as treasur-
er of the funds, questions the right of
the county to demand such an account.
She makes no objection to telling that
