Report.
Kenosha, Wis, Nov. Is, 1912.
Having been appointed Chairman of
the Committee of the Whole to visit the
Racine County Insane Asylum, [ here
with tender my report on the said visit:
The Board left Kenosha via the T.,
NJ. E. r. & L. at $3.50 on the morning
of the 14th and were met at the corner
of Sixth and Wisconsin streets, in Ra-
|
cine, by committee of the Racine
County Board and taken to the St.
Paul depot and then via the st. Paul
train to Gatliff, and we were met and
escorted through the barns and out
buildings by Mr.. Lewis and Mr. Ma
lone, the Chairman of the Committee
of the Whole from the Racine County
Board, after which we were escorted
through the several wards of the Asy-
lum and visited with all Of Kenosha
County's patients.
| We found the barns and all outbuild-
| ings in number one condition as did
we find the stock on the farm and farm
work as well done as could be expected
for the season of the year.
We also found the Asylum proper in
equally as good condition and the pa
tients seemed happy and well cared
for, all seemed to be satisfied with the
care and treatment they receive.
After visiting the patients and in
| speeding the building carefully we were
invited down into the dining room
where we partook of very fine dinner,
after which several short talks were
given by the following: Judge Flett,
District Attorney w. w. Storms, and
Judge Smieding Of Racine, Judge Geo.
w. Taylor and Judge G. Il. Randall and
County Clerk Russell HI. Jones from
Kenosha, after being thus generously
entertained we departed for Kenosha.
Respectfully submitted,

Report.
Kenosha, Wis.,, Nov. 16, 1912.
Gentlemen:
We, your committee to whom was
delegated the duty of ascertaining as
to the approximate cost of gravel for
road purposes and availability of said
gravel for road purposes, respectfully
report that we met at Wheatland where
we met Mr.. Welch of the Welch Gravel
Company, on June 18th, 1912, Of Bur
lington, and discussed the gravel propo-
sition, but decided best to meet at
the gravel pit and view the gravel and
again met at the Welch gravel pit at
Burlington on the 10Th day of July,
1912, the machinery was not installed
and we decided to meet at the same
place at a later date as Mr.. Welch was
unable to give decided price and we
again met at said gravel pit on July
9th, when we were quoted a price of
40 cents per yard aboard cars at the
pit.
On August LIST we met at the Buck
ley gravel pit at Wilmot and viewed
the. gravel in said pit but Mr.. Buckley
being absent were unable to obtain
definite figure, but were assured that
the price was right and they would
furnish gravel at right price provided
the county desired to obtain same.
We desire to say that the gravel is
of very good quality in both pits, but
rather favor the quality of gravel in
the Welch pit.
Respectfully submitted,
T. Flemming.

Upon motion of Supervisor Kreuscher
the report was accepted and adopted.
