A TRAVELLED SPIDER.
Spider From Denmark Comes All the
Way to Kenosha in Letter.

Albert Jensen, one Of the members
of the Jensen Brothers Tea and COT
fee company on Park street, has a
much travelled spider at his place of
business. The spider arrived this
morning from Denmark. A cousin of
Jensen was writing him a letter when
the spider walked over the page, aud
just as joke he captured it and
placed it in the envelope and sealed it
up. The letter reached Kenosha this
morning after being on the way TWEEN
ty days. When the envelope was
opened the spider jumped out, but it
was too weak to escape and it is now
in captivity. The letter had passed
through two canceling machines, but
the spider had been able to keep out
of any real danger. The spider seemed
to take kindly to American life and
while in captivity he is spinning his
web, evidently as contented as an
American born spider

WOULD REPAIR PRAIRIE AVE
Property Owners Seeking to Cover
Brick Pavement With Asphalt.

Property owners on Prairie avenue
have started a movement to have the
brick pavement on the avenue con-
verted into an ashphalt pavement, and
a petition is now being circulated to
this end. 1t is proposed to have four
inches of asphalt wearing surface
placed on top of the present pave
ment.. The White Construction COM
pany has been asked to make an esti-
mate of the cost of the proposed work
from Park place to the tracks of the
Northwestern Railway company, and
If this estimate meets with the appro-
val of the property owners interested,
the work will be done at once. Many
OF the property owners have already
signed the petition. to have the work
done, and it is thought that the plan
will meet with unanimous approval.
The work will be done with small cost
to the city as the property owners will
be assessed the same as when a new
pavement is laid.

SHOWS BALANCE OF s4o,1e1.2s.
Quarterly Report of Board of Water
Commissioners Completed Today.

The quarterly report of the board of
water commissioners for the quarter
ending July LIST was completed this
morning and it shows that the commits
sion has cash balance of $41,161. %.
Of this amount $4,000 is in the sink
ing fund set aside for the extension of
the intake and the building Of the filter
the remainder representing the profits
set aside by the company. The profits
for the quarter would have been much
larger had it not been for the rebates
paid to people who had made deposits
at the time of installation of meters.
IL addition to the payment of these re-
bates the funds of the company have
been drawn on heavily in making the
extensions of the mains particularly
the big main extended north along Ra-
cine avenue.

START NEW BUILDINGS.
United Refrigerator and Ice Machine
Company Increasing Big Plant.

Ground has been broken for two
more large buildings to be rected by
the United Refrigerator and Ice Ma
chine Company on Pleasant street and
lit is expected that both of the large
buildings will be completed by the end
of the present summer One of the
buildings is an addition to the plant
used in the making Of ice machinery
and other is an addition to the big
dry kilns of the company. The com
pletion of these buildings will greatly
facilitate the work of the company in
filing orders. The present plant is
inadequate to the demands being
made on it and work is being held
up on account of lack of manufactur-
ing space. The business done b. the
company this year promises to break
all records.

SUGGESTS NEW PLAN
Want City to Open Munich
pal Green House to Aid
in Care of Parks.
sCHWANkE TO HAVE CHARGE

The board of park commissioners of
the city have planned for big improve
ments in the city and to this end the
board will ask that they be given the
power to employ John Schwanke as a
superintendent of the public parks for
"a term of one year at salary of 800
a month, it to be understood that Mr.
Schwanke will provide a horse and
wagon for his use in office. The park
commissioners believe that arrange
ments can be made by which the
board can use the service of Mr..
Schwanke during the entire year. The
Iplan includes the opening Of a green
house to be the property Of the city
of Kenosha, in which all plants to be
used in the various parks in the city
will be cared for during the winter
months. 1t is declared that with such
a flower house the commission would
be able to provide an abundance of
flowers and plants for all the parks of
the city at a cost much less than is
now being paid for a limited amount
of plants and flowers The new park
superintendent has had long expert
ence as florist and he has given the
commission some figures Of what can
be saved to the city by the mainte-
nance of a municipal green house In
the past these plants have been
bought from one of the green houses
of the city and no attempt has been
made to have any care taken Of them
during the winter months.
1t is proposed locating the municipal
green house on the lot adjoining the
Northside engine house with the I'M
derstanding that heat for it may be
secured from the engine house heating
plant.
The plan will be submitted to the
common council on next Monday even
ling and it has the endorsement of ev-
fery member of the commission. The
commission at the same time will ask
the council to make some changes in
the powers Of the commissioners in or
der that they may be able to tx the
width for the paving of streets. The
commissioners also seek to have an ap-
preparation Of $500 made in order to
give the commission funds to pay for
work done in the various parks.
August Batter has been formally
elected as permanent secretary of the
commission.

1t is possible that the contractors
on the trunk sewer will come before
the council at the next meeting with
some kind of a proposition for furth-
er payments on the big ditch, but I'M
less so. le Of the aldermen have
changed their views on this matter
since they last expressed an opinion
on the proper course to be taken by
the city any attempt on the part OF
the contractors TO secure any more
money until the final settlement IS
made between them and the city will
meet with opposition. In the opinion
of some Of the aldermen at least, the
differences between the city and the
contractors over the charges for ex-
tras should be settled before the city
lets 90 of any more money. 1t would
have been better and safer to adjust
each claim for extras as each section
of the sewer was completed right up
to the date on which each partial
payment was made, but since this was
not done the city might as well make
one job of it and when the next set
tlemcnt, is made make it final one.
Furthermore the city has been made
a party to claims for damages arts
ing over the construction work OF the
sewer and the contractors should be
required to show releases signed by
the property owners before the city
even takes up the question OF a final
settlement. 1t is tr1' that the city
has u bond TO protect it against dam
age claims, but it need not be neces
sary to rely on this bond AS be-
tween the contractors and these claim
ants it is the duty of the council to
use every means in it's power to pro-
tect the people of the city and it
should not leave them in a position
where they will have to sue for their
money even if the city is protected
against any loss. There have been
chickering's and unpleasantness. enough,
not to use stronger terms, over this
sewer from the very beginning, to tire
out any body of men, but the city of
Gcials should not be persuaded to sur
render the slightest advantage the
lity may have in any way through a
Hesire to get the whole mess cleaned
up and out of the way.

While the-dueS ion of the ACCESSIBILITY
of increasing tie lumber of aldermen
IN the council may be open to argu-
ment no fair minded man can deny that
the time has come when revision of
the ward boundary lines is demanded
by every consideration of justice and
fair play. No attempt to retain any
petty political advantage should be per-
mitted to delay the redistricting of
the city any longer and any attempt
at a gerrymander by any party when
the revision is made should be sat up
on by the honest men of all parties.
1t is of course impossible to lay out
the wards of the city-whether it is
finally decided to retain the present
number of divisions or raise the num-
Der of wards to ten or twelve-so that
each would cast exactly the same
Number of votes in an election, but
any high school boy could make a
more equitable division than the pres.
ent arrangement The rapid growth
Of the city since the present boun-
daries of the wards were established
ten years ago has created inequalities,
that are little short of absurd from
any standpoint and every election and
every census in the past five years has
only emphasized the injustice Of the
present arrangement of the ward lines.
NO one can maintain with any show
of reason that one political division
of the city which casts but $50 votes
at an election should have the same
representation and power in the coun-
ell, tie board Of supervisors, and the
BOARD of education as a division that
casts 1900 votes, but that is approx
mately the differences between the
largest and smallest wards of the city.
With such conditions it comes pretty
near being 2 case of taxation without
representation for a majority of the
citizens of some of the larger wards
for their influence in shaping the af-
fairs Of the city is only about a
quarter Of what it should be. Poll
ticians and office holders are slow to
advocate any changes IN political di-
visions Winch may effect their in
duence or chances of reelection, but
Che demand for e-districting of the
city is so universal that the council
can hardly ignore it, The injustice of
the present arrangement Of ward lines
is 50 apparent that even the most
hardened politicians would hesitate to
defend it on any ground and any pet
~ question Of political expediency
must give wy before the demand for
fair play ard equal representation for
All citizens in the governing bodies
Of the city.

WILL ASK TEN ACRE TRACT
Committee is Agreed on Necessity of
Building Such an Institution but Be-
lieves Site for it Should be Close to
the City of Kenosha.

The special committee of the county
board in charge of making an investi-
cation of plans for the building of a
county sanitarium to take care of
people in the last stages of consump-
ton has completed its first trip about
the county and several sites that have
been offered for the location of such
an institution have been examined.
The committee its not ready to begin
the preparation of its report The
committee is made up of Frank Stuart
of Bristol, chairman of the county
board, Supervisors Herzog Of Somers.
and John 7. Ynle of Kenosha, and DR..
G. II. Gephart Of Kenosha, and DIR. H..
20. Darby Of Wilmot. The committee
spent one whole day travelling about
the county in an automobile looking
over sites proposed One thing is GER
tain and that is that the members of
the committee appreciate the neces-
sity of building the sanitarium and
the committee will report favorably
on the plan. AS yet the plans and
specifications for the building have
not been drawn, but it is the purpose
of the members of the committee to
have these plans ready before the
meeting of the county board All of
the sites investigated by the commit
tee in the first round of the county
were in the western part of the coun-
ty. The committee believes that it
is wise for the county to secure a
tract of land of from five to ten acres
for the sanitarium and it is the de-
sire of the members to secure good
tillable land in order that the patients
may find a chance for out of door
work. It is thought that with ten
ceres of land surrounding such an in
stitution it would be an easy matter
for the patients to aid materially in
the institution.
One site THAT met Nth a good deal
of favor from the members of the
committee is located on the bluffs
near Camp Lake. Ten acres of land
has been offered to the committee at
this place. Several other sites in the
town Of Salem have been offered but
the members Of the committee seem to
be Favorable to a site closer to the
city, as they believe that large
majority of the patients will be sent
to the institution from the city and
for this reason they plan to make the
institution as accessible to the city as
possible.
The committee has several sites in
view nearer the city. One of these.
is beautifully located in the town of
Somers and it is thought that the
land necessary can be secured at a
reasonable price. W1thln lew days
the committee will make trip
through the eastern part of the county
and look over such sites as may be
offered in the towns long the East line
of the county. The members do not
seem to favor lake shore site as they
believe that the institution would be
more valuable if situated a short dis
lance from the lake.
The question of the cost of the in
stitution has not as yet been consd-
cred, but it is thought that the whole
expenditure to be asked by the com
mittee will not exceed twenty thous-
and dollars.
