NORMAL CONDITIONS COVERED
Committee Will Secure Figures From
Other Companies Before Submitting
any Final Report to Council Recon-.
mending the Building Of the Plant

Alderman James Filben today re-
ceived the first figures on the building
of filter to take care of the water of
the city. The estimate is given by the
Pittsburg Filter Company of Pitts
burg, Pa, and the estimate of that
company on the cost of filter is $780,
600. The president of the company in
making the estimate states that the
company could not give exact figures
until after it had made a personal ex-
animation of the land to be used and
the conditions surrounding it, but the
figure is normal figure for the install
lation of a gravity filter which will
have capacity OF not less than ten
million gallons of water daily. The
Pittsburg company will at the direc-
ton of the city send experts to Keno
sha to make an examination Of the
conditions here and submit a definite
bid for the installation of the filter.
However, it is stated that the figures
viii not vary very much one way or
the other from that stated.
The estimate is considerably larger
than that made by other filter men
who have been in the city Some of
these men have suggested that sand
filter to meet the demands of the city
could be constructed for as low as
$4,000, but the cost Of filters which
have been examined By the members
of the committee leaves no doubts in
the minds Of the aldermen that this
figure is far too low In few days the
members Of the committee will inves-
tigate a filter recently installed by the
Chicago Brass Company. This filter is
said to have cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000. Of course, the filter is not
ynearly so large as the one demanded
by the city, but the members of the
committee hope to get some valuable
information from an examination of
filter used to meet the very water con
ditions which must be met by the city.
During the next two weeks the mem
bers of the committee will make a trip
to two cities in Ohio to investigate the
use of filters there. These cities will
probably be Toledo and Cleveland and
both of these cities have filters which
are being pointed out as models.
Before the report Of the committee
is submitted TO the council, it is ex-
pected that figures will be secured
from nearly all of the leading filter
companies in the country and that the
committee will be able to give some
estimate which will be pretty close to
the exact expenditure to be demanded
in Kenosha.

INTERURBAN STRIKES CHILD.
Cal Pals to Stop After Striking
Sophie Calhoun.


Sophie Calhoun, aged years, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. d. NJ. Calhoun,
who reside on the Lake Shore road,
near the Kenosha county line, was seri-
ously injured when struck by north
bound interurban car at about 8
% clock yesterday afternoon. The car
was not stopped when the child was
struck, and the section hands, employ
ed by the interurban railway company,
carried the child to the Calhoun home
and when it was found that she had
received bad cut on the head and
face, body and limbs were bruised and
cut, her father took her to Racine for
medical attendance.
The child was playing alongside the
tracks of the interurban line and did
not see car approaching from the
south and she was struck by the car
and thrown into ditch. Mr.. Calhoun
today declared that the section hands
had signaled to the motorman to stop
the car when they saw the child near
the tracks, but no attention was paid
to the signals, it is claimed.

SAYS PREMATURE
Milwaukee Company Man
ager Says Company VIII
Not Extend Lines Now.
NO EFFORT TO SECURE RIGHTS

R. B. Stearns, general manager of
the Milwaukee Electric Railway &
Light Company has given out state
ment in which he declares that the an
nouncement of the proposed plan for
the extension of the lines of the Mil
waukee, Racine and Kenosha interufS
ban to Waukegan is premature. Mr..
Stearns declares that the company
while considering this project, is not
ready to announce it's plans at this
time. Mr.. Stearns in his statement
declared that the matter had not been
officially taken up with the officials of
the various cities and while this is
literally true it can be said with au-
thority that the matter has been taken
up with members of the Kenosha city
council and that the various routes
have been discussed. The company
has indicated through the interview Of
Mr.. Stearns that it will not be in the
market to pay any large amount for
franchise rights in the cities to be
touched by the proposed extension.
The Waukegan proposition probably
will prove hard one for the
company to solve as at the present
time Waukegan is having big war
with the Chicago & Milwaukee Flee
trio and if this is a criterion of the
troubles that the new line will meet
there is no doubt but that the state
ment of Mr.. Stearns that the new line
will not build in the immediate fu-
ture'' will be carried out to the letter.
Kenosha people have been discussing
the matter at length and it is pretty
certain that the company will not get
la line South through Kenosha without
making concessions to the property
owners and the city.

ago on a charge of grand larceny con-
nected with the theft OF diamond pin
from room at the Hotel Plaza, was

that previous to the arrest in Kenosha
Gertz had borne spotless reputation.

all the costs of the case and asked that
Gertz be parolled. Judge Randall
granted the petition and the boy will
be given another chance. Other men

ADVERTISING IS QUESTIONED
Must Limit Printed Matter to Strict
Reading of the Law-Rules Against
filing of s'No Expense" Affidavits
Save on One Day.

| District Attorney Henry J. Hast
ings, County Clerk Russell H. Jones
and number of the candidates for
nominations at the September primary
held an interesting conference at the
court hourse on Friday afternoon at
which time the question of the inter
probation of the law against corrupt
practices was taken up. The district
attorney was asked to make some rul-
ings on the manner in which the law
shall be enforced. The first question
to arise was in regard to cards used
by candidates. The attorney ruled
that if the cards contained anything
beyond the name of the candidate, his
party and the nomination which he
was seeking, it would be necessary for
the cards to bear the name of the man
or men who sent out the card
and the amount of money expended
in the printing and circulating of
it. A card bearing only the
name, office and party the attorney
held, would not have to have this
statement.
He held that if candidate desired
to take the chance it was not lawful
to put his pictue on his card. "Vote
For" and "Support for Nomination =
are held to be unlawful on candi-
dates card unless he states the cost of
publishing and circulating the card.
In regard to the fling of expense
accounts the attorney held that ex-
pense contracted before the candidate
actually placed petitions in circulation
need not be scheduled in making ex-
pense accounts. He held also that
it was unnecessary for candidate to
file an affidavit for emo expense" ex-
cept on the Saturday before the Sep
TENDER primary.
Of course, these rulings do not apply
! to the candidates for nomination for
the legislature. These candidates
must have their political work done by
the state and candidates who are in
doubt as to just what can be done
would do well to confer with the sec
rotary of state before having any
printed matter sent out.
"We want to insist on a reasonable
Interpretation Of the law and strict
following of this interpretation, /" said
Mr.. Hastings today. 81 believe that
majority of the candidates of all
parties desire to keep strictly within
the law and in the rulings we have
made we have followed closely the
rulings made by the state officials and
others in authority at former pri-
mares. Ii candidates have expenses
they should file accounts of them
within the time set by the law, but if
candidate has no expense he does
not need, in my opinion, to file an
affidavit of no expense except on the
Saturday before the primary election.
I believe the reading Of the law makes
it necessary for all candidates to file
such an affidavit at that time"
Up to the present not a single ex-
pense account has been fled with the
county clerk, but it is expected that
following the ruling of the district at
torney all candidates will get busy and
make proper returns to the county
clerk.

It is said that there have been few
applications from Kenosha county
men for positions as members of the
board Of review to be appointed IN
der the ineome tax law. This is
strange, considering the fact that
these Jobs will be of the soft " varie-
ty, paying not less than s. per day.
Inasmuch as one of these boards is to
be appointed for every assessment dis
trict, the income tax law will probably
acquire over two hundred earnest
supporters before the end of the
