GRANTS AN EXTENSION.
Judge Belden Permits Park st. Saloon
to Continue Business Pending Appeal,

Judge E. B. Belden Of the circuit
court, has granted stay of execution
in the suit Of Hattie e. Frabe VS., the
City of Kenosha and Corr and Lienen-
weber and under the stay granted the
saloon may be re-opened for business
pending the argument Of the attorneys.
1t is planned to appeal the case to the
supreme court, but the attorneys for
the plaintiff opposed the granting of a.
stay of execution pending the appeal
and demanded that they be given
chance to argue against any continued
stay of execution. The court held that
pending the argument the saloon could
be re-opened. It is probable that the
argument will be held in about two
weeks and that by that time the defen-
dants in the case will have completed
the appeal to the supreme court of the
state.

County Board Asked to De-
mand Repeal of New State
Aid Statute.
PEOPLE ARE BEING MISLED

Kenosha county has been asked to
join in an effort to secure the repeal
| of the law now in effect which pro-
vides state aid for highways and
County Clerk Russell H. Jones has re-
ceived a letter from the county clerk
of Langlade county asking that the
county board of this county join in
the movement to have the law repealed.
The county board of that county in ses-
sion at Amigo passed formal resolu
tion declaring the slogan state aid
for highways missioner and de-
| c1aring that the state is not paying
out anything for the highways that it
| is not collecting from the counties.
The copy of the resolutions sent to
Clerk Jones is as follows:
Whereas, The legislature of the
state of Wisconsin passed at its last
session on Chapter 237 Of the Laws
Of 1911, commonly known as the state
aid highway law, and
Whereas, We the county board of
Langlade county, Wisconsin, deem the
said law unnecessary, uncalled for,
burdensome to the tax payers and a
menace to the old principle of home
government,
Now Therefore Be it Resolved, by
the county board Of supervisors Of
I4angdale county that we declare the
said law an imposition in as much as
it is called the estate aid' law when
we know that it is a fact that the
state does not contribute one cent that
is not raised by direct taxation by
the several towns and cities and viii
lagos and altogether too expensive in
execution for the amount of good that
can be accomplished by or through it
and,
Be it Further Resolved, That 5his
resolution be spread upon the journal
Of the county board proceedings and
that the county clerk be and is here
| by instructed to send copies Of the
same to county clerks in all counties
of the state that they may inform
their county boards Of the action tax
en- by this board on the matter, and
I
further,
Resolved, That all honorable means
be taken by the several members of
this board to have the same repealed
as speedily as possible. y
There is no objection in the resolu-
ton that has not been raised in con-
nection with the consideration of the
highway law in this county and it is
not probable that the kenosha County
Board will take any action on the
resolution. 1t is proposed to have the
resolution presented to the board next
November and it is possible that it
will awaken some new opposition to
the highway commission proposition.
