How City Funds Were Spent.
Total Expenses of Year. i. +. S162,85

This is the cost of administering the
affairs of the city of Kenosha from the
first day of May 1911 to the first day
of May 1912 as shown by the annual
audit of the books of the city just
fled with the City Clerk by Charles
III. Winke of Milwaukee. The report
shows just how every cent of money
collected by the city was spent and in
addition to this general table it gives
detailed statement of the expenses
of the various funds.
The new audit will probably be pub
lished for the information of the people
of the city later and it contains many
things of interest. 1t shows among
other things the comparative statement
of taxes for five years, also that the
city paid 500, 659.75 for principal and
interest on bonds in the year, the cost
of each department in the way of salar-
les paid and current expenses, the mon
les expended by the Board of Educa-
| tom Library Board and the Water
Commission and in fact every detail of
the business of the city. The most
interesting thing in the audit is the
separation of the accounts Of the var
ious departments showing just what
these departments cost the city. The
books of the city were found to be cor
rect with the exception Of few errors.
1t was shown that double payments
totaling little over 5000 had been
made by the Water Department and by
the Board of Education and new bust
ness methods were suggested for these
departments of the city. 1t showed
that the city had considerable sums
due it from local corporations which
should be collected with interest.
The recommendations of the auditor
| will be taken up by the members of
the finance committee at once and some
suggestion will be made to the council
at it's next meeting for the carrying
out of the provisions of the report. At
that meeting it is expected that the
council will direct the detailed report
| of the auditor to be published.

MANY SEEK PERMITS.
Judge Randall Kept Busy
Issuing Vacation Per-
mits For Children.
MUST QUIT AS SCHOOL OPENS

Kenosha school children released
from the, schools On last Friday are
going to work today and the Munich
pal Judge was kept working during the
entire day issuing vacation permits for
the boys and girls. 1t was the biggest
rush for permits ever known in the
Kenosha court and before noon today
sixty children between the ages of
twelve and fourteen years had applied
for permits. Only twenty permits had
been issued as the boys and girls had
failed to observe all the provisions Of
the law and many of them were sent
home to get consents of parents and
letters from their prospective employ
ers. Under the law these vacation per-
mits may be issued to boys and girls
but they are issued with the under
standing that they become void on the
day the schools open for the new term.
1t is expected that fully five hundred
of the school children will get vaca-
ton permits during the next few days.
There seems to be a great demand for
the services of the boys and girls. They
are going to work in the factories, in
the stores in various parts of the city,
in bake shops and in blacksmith shops.
The law provides that the children
must have statement from the school
principal and also from the people who
are to employ them before the vaca-
tion permits may be issued.

GETS HIGH POSITION.
Miss Maude Macpherson Honored BY
Washington Library Board.

Miss Maude Macpherson, formerly
an assistant librarian at the Gilbert M
Simmons Library in the city, has been
named as assistant state librarian of
the state of Washington, and her ap-
pointment has just been confirmed by
the state supreme court of Washing
ton. Since leaving Kenosha Miss Mae
pherson has been working in her
chosen field at Hoquiam and she has
for some time been in charge of the
large library of that city. She was
not an applicant for the position of
assistant state librarian, and her ap-
pointment was made on the recon-
mendation of State Librarian J. NJ
Hit, who selected her in preference
to many others who had applied for the
position.
/ Miss Macpherson will begin the
duties of her new position the first of
August and she will have the eongrat-
ulations of many Kenosha friends on
the success she has made in her chosen
field of labor.

OWNERS MUST HELP BUILD
Plan is to Build Breakwater From
Garfield Street, 1000 Feet North With
an Assessment District to Aid in
Paying the Cost of Improvement.

The first big move for additional
lake shore protection has been started
among the people living at the extreme
North limits of the city on Lake aven-
lie and proposition is now before the
council which provides for the protect
ing Of the lake shore from a point
fifty feet north Of the intersection of
Garfield street and Lake avenue to a
point 1000 feet north.
The idea is to prevent the lake en-
croaching on the new pavement on
Lake avenue and at the same time to
make possible the extension of the ave-
nue. to the north limits of the city. 1t
is an open secret that it is planned to
make the avenue a gateway to park
system to be established along the
North Shore but of course this feature
of the proposition is one for the future
to solve. Plans and specifications for
the protection have been made by the
City Engineer and it will be necessary
to build 1850 feet of breakwater and
The estimated cost will be little over
$4,000. 1t is proposed that portion
and probably large portion OF the
cost of this breakwater be paid by the
people who will be benefited by the
protection of the shore line and the
extension OF Lake avenue and to this
end plans are being made for the out
lining of a district which, in the opin-
ion of the council will be benefited by
the proposed improvement. Assess
ments will be made against this dis
trict in keeping with the reports of
benefits and damages to accrue as made
by a board to be named later. This
would take a large part of the cost
of the proposed breakwater off the
shoulders Of the city. 1t would be i'm
possible for the city to build the break
water without the cid Of the property
owners as no money is available for
such purposes.
The plan may not appeal to the
property owners at all but it is known
that several of them are heartily in
favor of it even though the entire
expense should be assessed against the
property owners.
The men who are urging that the
work be done plan it as start for the
building of breakwaters to protect the
entire north shore. In the bad storms
of this year thousands of dollars worth
of property was destroyed by the wash
ing of the seas and it is thought that
the breakWater is the only feasible plan
for the proper protection of the prop
erty. The matter will be taken up by
the council at the second meeting in
July and at that time the City Attor
ney and the committee on Harbor and
Breakwater will present report tc
the council in regard to the matter.

SURE SIGN OF SUMMER.
Two Men Fined For Stealing Water
Melons From Northwestern r. r.


There was a real harbinger Of SUM-
mer in the municipal court this morn
ing when two men were arraigned be-
fore Judge Randall on a charge OF
stealing water melons. The men were
Mike Russo and Tony Bruno. Ten
melons disappeared from car at the
Northwestern station on Monday and
detectives from the company got out
a search warrant. 1t was alleged that
they found the two Italians in the
very midst of the watermelon feast.
Both Of the men pleaded guilty to the
charges against them and paid fines OF
three dollars and costs. The ten
melons stolen were valued at $3.50 by
the railway company.

Case of Mistaken Identity Costs Pas

1t is expensive to make mistake in
keeping date with girl. Pasquale
Oliver, an Italian, found this out this
morning when he was brought before
Judge Randall on charge of disorder
ly conduct and paid fine of three dol
lars and costs. Pasquale had a date =
with a girl at the corner OF North
Congress and Middle street on Monday
night But he did not seem to have a
real good remembrance of the girl.
Another girl came along and Pasquale
took slant at her and even dared TO
speak to her. He followed up his adj
rance. The young woman objected
and the Italian was arrested. He en-
tered a plea Of guilty to the charges
against him.

To HOLD CONVENTION
State Democrats Will Meet
in Milwaukee on July IL
to Make Platform. /.
TEN DELEGATES FOR kENOSAA

At special meeting of the Demo
cratic state central committee held in
Milwaukee Saturday afternoon, plans
were formulated for state convention
at the Pabst theatTe on Thursday,
July IL, beginning at IL a. m.
AS the result of resolution intro
duced by John A. Alyward, Madison,
and carried unanimously, urging that
the convention suggests officers for
state positions, nominations probably
will be made.
The resolution provides that the
lqnairman of the state central commit
tee shall circulate nomination papers Of
the two candidates receiving the high
est number OF votes Tor each office at
the convention. Others who wish to
run for office will have to circulate
their own petitions.
The platform on which the state
officers will run will also be drawn UP
at the convention.
t The convention will be the largest
ever held by the Democratic party in
the state Of Wisconsin. Each county
Will be entitled to be represented by
one delegate for each 600 votes, or
major fraction thereof, cast for the
Democratic nominee for president at
the last presidential election. All
other conventions were made up of
delegates chosen from each $50 votes.
the total in former years being about
900, while the entire number of dele
gates this year will be $780,
Of the five counties comprising the
First Congressional District Racine
will be entitled to Is delegates, Keno
sha to 10, Walworth county 10, Rock
county Is, and Waukesha county, 16.
] Optimism fairly radiated from each
of the committeeman as they discussed
plans for the fall campaign, and prob
able candidates.
Each seemed to think this would be
Democratic" year, and that the
treatment accorded the progressives at
the Chicago convention would mean a
record vote for any progressive candi-
date proposed by the Democrats.
Among the names mentioned as gu
bernatorial possibilities We're those of
Judge j. G. Karel, Judge Paul D. Car
penter and A. J Schmitz, Milwaukee;
John A. Alyward and Joseph Davies,
Madison; G. H. Weisse, sheboygan
Falls; Judge w. H. Sawyer, Hartford,
and George Hilton, Oshkosh.
