1t is question whether a civil ser
vice examination for city inspectors
would solve the problem of getting COM
petent supervision for work that Is be-
ing done under contract for the city but
it night help to the extent of giving the.
people who are paying for the improve
ments more confidence that the men en-
ployed by the city are competent to
oversee the work. In taking over the
job of hiring these inspectors the street
assessment committee was actuated by
desire to find some way of naming
these inspectors which would do away
with the continued complaints on their
work that the individual members of
She committee have been struggling with
all this summer and if any kind of an
examination promises to end these trou-
bles the committee VII doubtless be will
ing to give it trial. 1t does not take
much incompetence or neglect on the
part of the force of inspectors to cost
the city lot of money and competent
inspection of all work being done for
the city is a form of insurance that
the city cannot afford to be without.

The members of the town boards in
the county and the supervisors who
made the trip TO Milwaukee county to in
Bpect the roads being built there were
very much impressed with what they
saw and even more impressed with the
system under which the work OF the
road construction is carried out in that
county. 1t is certain that some of the
knowledge gained on the trip could be
applied with profit in Strengthening out
some matters connected with road
building operations in this county at the
coming sessions of the county board.
There is no denying the fact that the
progress made this summer Under the
state aid law in road building in this
county was very unsatisfactory and a
keen disappointment to the good roads
advocates and ttat the county board
will be strongly urged to make changes
in the system in use in Keno5hl county.

The old DOGGY of fees charged for

defeat County Clerk Russell H. Jones

serted by the opposition to Mr.. Jones
that he is responsible for the collection

the hunters without collecting single

PEOPLE FIGHT QUARANTINE
Commissioner Mcshane Believes That
Conditions Would be Much Better if
Temporary Hospital Gould be Secured
For Fever and Diphtheria Patients.


DR.. j. j. McShane, commissioner of
public health, is beginning to feel the
need of an isolation hospital and it is
probable that within a short time the
health commission will ask the city
council to make some provision for
temporary isolation hospital which
may be used to take care of patients
suffering from scarlet fever and diph
iberia. The members of the board
seem to feel that this step will be
necessary to hold diphtheria and scar
let fever in check later in the winter.
Nearly all of the cases of the fever
in the city at the present time are
among the alien population and al
though the department. has man con-
stantly watching the houses of the
patients it is found impossible to keep
the people indoors and to keep people
from going into the quarantined
houses. If absolute quarantine is to
be maintained it is declared that it
viii be necessary to have a half doz-
Ell men employed to watch these
houses.
/ am afraid said DR.. McShane
that the best possible think we can
do is to have temporary isolation
hospital, We have a case now in a
house in the south part of the city
where we are having lots of trouble.
There are fifteen or twenty people
in the house and you can appreciate
how hard it is to isolate a scarlet
fever patient in such a house. We
serd men there to watch these people
but just the minute the men are gone
people dart in and out of the house
and how are you going to prevent it.
Of course these people do not go
into the room where the fever
patient is being cared for, but their
going and coming from the house at
once gives the idea that quarantine is
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1912-10-31

nos being maintained. With an isola-
ton hospital we could take care of
these patients in a much better man
ner. 1t is probable that plan could
be worked out by which the cost of
maintaining such a hospital would not
be a great deal larger than the amount
the city is now paying for the sup
port Of families in quarantine"
The city council nearly year ago
directed that an isolation hospital be
built on the poor farm, but there was
such an outcry from the people of
Somers that the plan was never car
ried out. 1t is possible that the coun-
ell viii be able to rent small house
somewhere on the outskirts of the city
and that arrangements can be made
to fit it up for the reception of fever
patients.
1t was the original plan of the city
to build hospital which could be
used both as an isolation hospital and
for the care of patients in the ad-
vanced stages Of consumption, but it
is expected that the county board win
take care of the problem of the tuber-
culosis hospital and that the citv will
Only be forced to provide temporary
care for fever and diphtheria patients.
Last spring the city council com
pleted arrangements to purchase the
Dickhaut property on the lake shore
for an isolation hospital, but Charles
P. Wallig county treasurer, after a
wrangle which ended in the courts,
secured the property. No other
place has been found suitable by
the committee appointed by the
council. The Wallig fasco dhused a
lot of talk at the time. This building
would have furnished perfect place
to care for the children who suffered
from contagious diseases.

The registration lists again serve to
call attention to the need of a reds
tricting of the city in order that the
taxpayers may have more equal repre-
sentation in the council; the school
board; and in the board of supervisors.
1t is manifestly unjust and condition
of affairs that the authorities should
be forced to take notice of and remedy
that the twelve hundred or more voters
OF one ward have no more voice in the
affairs of the city than the three humid
red voters of one of the smaller wards.
1t is OF course impossible to make all of
the wards of exactly the same number
of voters but the present discrepancies
in representation as revealed by the reg
istry lists and election returns are alb
surb and unnecessary. Amy high school
boy could redistrict the city and put
things on fairer basis than they are at
present. Considerations of petty poll
tics should be put aside and the ward
lines adjusted. to meet changed condi-
tons. More or less skirmishing for petty
political advantage must always be ex-
pected in redistricting but no gerryman-
der was ever put through that gave the
people responsible for it more than a
temporary advantage,
