PETERSEN IS LOW
Kenosha Contractor to Get
Paving of Ashland Ave.
and Other Streets
FORMER ALDERMAN A BIDDER

The Street Assessment Committee
of the Common Council met in special
session at the city hall on Friday and
opened bids for the paving of Ashland
avenue from Strong street to the city
limits, Park street from Newell to Ed
ward street and Edward street from
Park to Market street. Chris Petersen
the Kenosha contractor had the low bid
for the three pieces of pavement and it
is probable that the contract for the
work will be awarded to him at the
next meeting of the council.
Petersen's bid for Ashland avenue
was $1.69 per square I'd. of brick pave
ment, 25c for the excavation. The curb
is already in on the street, it having
been put in this season. The price for
the pavements of the two west side
streets is $1.72 a yard for brick pave
ment and soc for the curb. Excavation
on these streets will be done at the
rate of 40c a yard. The next lowest
bid was presented by the Birdsall, Grit
fifth company of Racine, this being $1.74
for Ashland avenue and $1.76 for the
other two streets. The feature of the
biding was the appearance Of former
Alderan George r. Wade as a paw
ing contractor. Contractor Wade put in
bids for all three jobs of work but his
price was $3.50 or IL cents higher than
the low bid for Ashland avenue The
other bidders were n. f. Reichert, and
James Cape & Sons of Racine and the
McCugo Bullock company of Waukegan.
The bids of these companies was con-
siderably higher than that of Petersen.
Reichert having the high bid with $1.96
for Ashland avenue work.
1t is expected that the work on Ash
land avenue will be started just as
soon as the weather will permit as the
city is anxious to get this treet improv-
ed to the city limits to join with i'm
provements of the road to the south
proposed by the town of Pleasant Prai-
RE.
At the present time bids are not being
taken on any other paving work but it
is expected that half dozen other
streets will be improved during the
coming season and that the contracts
for this work will be let early in the
new year.

GET THEATRE TRAIN
Northwestern Finally Ac-
cedes to Demands of Ke-
nOsha Patrons of Road
new TRAIN STARTS SUNDAY

The long fight Of the city of Keno
sha to secure g theatre train out of
Chicago, started more than five years
ago, has at last brought results and the
new time card of the Chicago & North
western road which will become effect
i've on Sunday provides the new train
for Kenosha. 1T is scheduled to leave
Chicago at 11:30 each night and due
to arrive at Kenosha at 1856. The
train is the same train that has been
run for theatre patrons at other places
on the North shore, south of Kenosha
for many years and the only change
is that it is to be continued as far north
as Kenosha. 1t is stated by the Off
Gals of the company that the train
is put on for the theatrical season and
if it proves a paying investment for
the company it will be continued in
definitely.
Some weeks ago change was made
in the Northwestern schedule which
took off the train that left Chicago at
10:l5 at night and q new train leaving
nearly an hour earlier was substituted.
This resulted in many objections from
Kenosha men who were accustomed to
come out of Chicago after 1000 'clock
and these complaints aided materially
in securing the addition of the theatre
train to the schedule. The new train
will make it possible for Kenosha peo-
pie to. attend the theatres of Chicago
and get home in a reasonable hour. For
years Kenosha people have found it
almost impossible to enjoy the Chicago
theatrical productions on account of the
fact that they were forced to remain
in the city over night The schedule
for the train will make it possible for
Kenosha people to remain until the
conclusion of the productions and still
reach home at a reasonable hour.

"THE THIEF" COMING.
To the Rhode Next Thursday Night.
December 9Th.

The attraction for next Thursday
night at the Rhode will be Henri Bern
stein s great play EThe Thief The
play was seen here several years ago
and proved to be an attraction of ex-
ceptional merit Marion Sherwood. an
actress of much talent, will lead an
excellent cast and the production will
be staged with appropriate scenery.
1t was written originally for Madame
Simone and produced first in Paris
where it created a profound sensation.
Haddon Chambers then translated it
into English and it was played in New
York by Margaret Ellington and was
considered by many the greatest play
ever seen in the country. So pe4fect
was its construction and SO logical
We're its situations that it is said that
not one line of it is changed from the

The children of the city will be IN
terested in the sale of the Red Cross
Seals before long not only because
their work will help swell the total of
sales, but because 1T is desirable in
every way that they become interested
IN the work of the association. 1t has
been possible to reach people through
the children that could be reached in
no other way. In their eagerness to
gain the prizes offered however, the
children should not be permitted to
make nuisances of themselves and that
IS what came dangerously near happen
ing last year. The housewives, who
were called to the door twenty or
thirty times day by the enthusiastic
peddlers of the seals got very tired
of the sale before it was over and be-
fore the children are turned loose with
the seals they must be given to under
stand that they must see according
to rule. A stamp affixed to the door
bell indicates that the inmates of the
house are supplied win the seals and
must not be bothered again and this
rule must be obeyed to the letter.
Care must be takcn not to make the
annual sale unpopular and that is what
is likely to happen if the sale is push
ed too hard.

WANT MORE FOR PATIENTS.
Legislature to be Asked to Increase

Legislature to be Asked to Increase
Pay for Care of Chronic Insane.
The next legislature of this state
will be asked to amend law so as to
permit counties having asylums for the
chronic insane to increase the amount
charged for the care of each inmare
from So per week to $3.50 per week.
A resolution has been adopted by the
Racine County Board of Supervisors
urging such amendment and similar
resolutions will be adopted by boards
of supervisors of other counties hav-
ing asylums for chronic insane. Coun-
ties not having such asylums and who
send their chronic insane TO institu-
tions in other counties, are to protest
against an, increase in the rate charg.
ed per week. It is claimed that it
costs county having an asylum for
the chronic insane more than So per
week to care for each inmate and as
result the institutions cannot be self
sustaining, but that if the rate was
increased to $3.50 per week the coun-
ties would not suffer Losses each year.
The state pays one-half the amount
charged for the care of chronic in
sane patient and the county, OF which
such patient is resident, pays the
other half, unless the patient has
property or relatives who are able to
pay for such care, then the state or
county does not pay for patients :

Stores of the City Promise to Make the
Red Cross Seals One of the Features
of Christmas Displays in the City and
it is Expected 100000 Will be Sold.

every city of the state this morning.
The Kenosha committee is expected to
hold its place at the head of the state
column this year, but to do this it is
necessary for the local committee to
dispose of at least 100000 seals. This
will mean contribution Of $4,000 to
the fund, half of which will be left
in the hands of the Kenosha commit
tee. It is expected that this money
will be used here in connection with
the equipment Of the proposed SAM
tarium for the care of consumptives Of
the county. The local committee will
organize at once and a thorough canvass
of the town will be made. Later con-
tests will be organized among the school
children of the city and it is planned
to offer prizes to the children. The
work of disposing of the seals through
the schools will probably not be start
ed for another week.
For the past four years Kenosha has
been among the first three cities in the
state in the sale Of seals and last year
the city was first by large margin.
The state turned back to the city
more than $500 received from the sale
in Kenosha last year and the local COM
nittee is hopeful that the amount will
be much larger this year. Nearly
every business house in the city has
promised to have a part in the sale
Of the Christmas seals and several of
the stores will feature them OH their
Christmas counters this year. Booths
will be opened at the postofice during
the last week of the Christmas season
and it is expected that these booths
will sell large number Of seals daily.
Beginning today over $4,000 coo Red
Cross Christmas Seals will be placed
on sale in almost every large city and
nearly every state of the United
States, the proceeds to go for the pene-
fit of the anti-tuberculosis movement
in the community where the seals are
sold. This announcement was made
today from headquarters Of The Ma
tional Association for the Study ard
Prevention of tuberculosis which is
directing the sale from it's New York
Office.
So carefully has the sale been or
ganized throughout the country that
with the exception of the states Of
Florida, Oklahoma, Nevada and Idaho,
Red Cross Seals will be on sale in al
most every city, town, village and
hamlet of the United States and even
in Hawaii, Porto Rico, and The Canal
Zone.
The seals will be sold from drug
stores, department stores and other
kinds of stores and shops, from post
offices, railway stations, booths on the
street, hotel Hobbies and in numerous
other places. The number of agents
handling the sale in this way aggre-
gates over $4,000, while the actual
number Of individuals engaged in the
sale, almost entirely volunteers, will
reach well over 100000. Society lead
ers in almost every large city of tho
country, notably in Pittsburg, Brook
