COMMITTEE READY FOR FIGHT
Will Go Full Limit to Get Place for
Care for Consumptives, Regardless of
Efforts Of County official to over Bid
the City for the Property.


rotary to Mayor M. J. Scholey, is plan
ming to push his fight for the Dick
haut property purchased by the city
as site for a hospital for the care
OF people in the advanced stages of
tuberculosis and the attorney for Wal
llg has announced that he is already
to ask for q vacation of the iniunc-
tion secured by the city council com
mlttee just as soon as Judge Belden
can come to Kenosha and hear the
arguments on the matter The injunc-
ton served on G. Il. Miller to enioin
him from giving a deed to the proper
jy must be answered within the next
ten days or the city council committee
will seek an order to make the in
junction permanent.
The members of the committee have
declared their willingness to keep in
the fight to the finish and if the secre-
tary OF the mayor secures the proper
ty for summer home it will be
only after the committee has been
declared "out Of COURT by the judge.
There is no quitting on the part of the
committee. The committee may not
be able to enforce the purchase Of the
property, but if the people in kenosha
suffering from tuberculosis, who are
being kicked from one boarding louise
to another, do not get a comfortable
place in which TO spend their last
days and hours it will be no fault of
the committee
Mr.. Wallig and his attorneys are
banking a lot on the fact that the
committee did not visit the house be-
fore the purchase was made and i@&s
declared that lie committee was
ordered to take this action by the
council. However, the attorney for
the city is convinced that the action
- ohO oOAiiillIlce II HdkIHS Inc pur-
chase OF the property and paying a
deposit to the regular agent of the
owner was sufficient to make the bar
gain for the property binding. The
key to the house is still in the hands
OF the committee. 1t was expected
that an effort would be made to have
the council modify its instructions to
the committee at the meeting Of the
aldermen on Monday evening, but
nothing along this line was brought up
and the council took no action to pave
seae way for Mr.. Wallig to secure the
property without court fight.
Many people in the city are taking
a deep interest in the matter and for
this reason the further developments
are being eagerly awaited. The chair
man of the committee has notified the
attorney for Wallig that the commit
tee will be en- hand for the hearing
any time he may seek a vacation Of
the injunction
With /the arrangement of the fare
zone for the electric railways the Dick
haut property is made much more
valuable as the i've cent fare limit
will be only a short distance south
Of the property. Members Of the Wis
consin committee in charge of the fight
for the prevention Of the spread of
tuberculosis are ready to come to Ke
nosha just as soon as the right to the
property is established for the city.
If the court holds that the injunction
shall stand and the city can get d
deed to the property under the pur-
chase made by the committee the hos
pital can be opened within a few days
Prominent men Of the city have ex-
pressed their willingness. TO aid the
city in securing the furnishings for
the hospital at the lowest possible
cost.
