City Council Receives Five
Applications for Position
of City Engineer.
ELECT ON ST. PATR|CKs DAY

There is going to be no lack of ap-
plications for the office of city engi-
neer when the city council meets to
fill this vacancy on the night of st.
Patrick's day and the word has gone
| out that Kenosha is in need of city
engineer and it is expected that there
will be q flooded Of applications.
Already five applications for the
position have been received by the
members Of the council. First in the
list is that Of B. G. Brennan, the pres
emit acting city engineer. He has been
connected with the engineering de-
partment of the city for the past thaee
years and in that time has given ex-
cellent satisfaction For the past five
months he has been practically in
charge of the Office and he has shown
that he is wholly capable Of handling
the office. The second application is
presented by Robert III. Moth, former
ly city engineer of the city, and it is
admitted that there are a !. large num-
| Der of the members of the council who
! favor the election of Mr.. Moth. He
held the office of city engineer for
more than ten years and resigned the
office just after the work on the trunk
sewer was started. Since that time he
has been working at San Diego, CAL
| Members of the council seem TO be of
the opinion that the race for the office
lis between these two candidates.
An application for the position has
| been received from Stanley H. Ed
munds of Yankton, South Dakota, an
engineer of many years experience and
from Alvin Hills at present city en-
gineer of the city of Marinette. En-
gineer Hills recently visited Kenosha
| and at that time made the acquain-
lance of many OF the members of the
council. He has been active in the
building Of a filtration plant in the
city of Marinette and this fact has
been considered by some Of the mem
bers of che council on account of the
fact that the city may see its way
clear to provide for the building of
such plant in Kenosha.
The last application is from Henry
Rohnwer of st. Louis. He has been
connected with the Office of the city
engineer of ST. Louis for several years
and offers splendid recommendations.

The Wisconsin Inspection Bureau
which recently reported an advisory
scale of rates for insurance for risks
in the business districts of the city
which scale has just been adopted and
put in force by the local agents, should
be invited TO inspect the residence
districts Of the city as soon as posi-
bile with view of making proper
Tomato reduction on this class of
premiums 1t is admitted that the eff
ficiency of the fire department. which
is responsible for the small losses
suffered by the insurance companies
in the past few years has had much to
do with the readjustment of rates in
the business district and as the prop
erty owners in the residence districts
are paying their proportionate share of
the cost of maintaining the depart
ment, they feel that they are entitled
to their share. of the benefits. The
fact that Kenosha has no building
ordinance worthy of the name and
that in consequence the city has been
dotted with improperly constructed
buildings will probably operate to pre-
vent any horizontal reduction in this
class of risks, but careful inspection
would result in a more equitable adj
sustment of the rates, giving. the own
ers who have built in accordance with
the general rules of safe construction
the advantage to which they are en-
titled over those who have put up
buildings that would never be allowed
in any city that exercised proper sup
ervision over construction work within
it's limits.

the best evidence of the strong in

Petitions are being circulated in

able consideration of the bill prohibit
ing the sale of tobacco in any form

parents and the bill is likely to pass

position may be expected The intro
duction of this bill is confession that
the anti-cigarette measure is a failure
and if it becomes law the other
should be repealed. 1t has never been
possible to enforce the anti-cigarette
bill. 1t went altogether too far and
the people of the state resented what
they believed to be an unwarranted in
reference with the personal liberty of
adult cigarette users. If conditions in
other cities of the state are similar to
those In Kenosha some measure along
the lines of the one proposed is ur-
gently needed. The use of tobacco
IS increasing to an alarming extent
among the boys of the city and the
evil effects of the habit on children
are SO apparent that it is believed
that there will be no difficulty in en-
forcing a law that will stop the sale
of the weed to children. 1t is not
necessary to state that the new law
meets with the full approval of every
teacher and school official in the state.
but it is poor policy to incorporate a
provision in the bill absolutely pro-
hibiting the sale Of tobacco in any
store within certain radius of any
school. That is going too far again
and discriminating against hundreds

law because he is in business in the

vertise for new bids. This action vas
taken after a long discussion. 1t was
Leld that the action of the committee
in fainng to open bids at the time
set had resulted in the bids
of several contractors being withdraw.
The, controversy over the high school
building was also brought up and the
connection of Contractor Anderson
with this contract was urged as
a further reason to demand new
bids on the engine house plans. AZ

cuseI from acting on the committee
il securing the new bids, but the coua
ell refused to take this action.
There was a big argument on pro-
posed extension of water mains to
people owning property outside the
limits Of the city. 1t was brought up
by demand from people on Jackson
street, who claimed that the wells in
that neighborhood had dried up on ac-
count of the construction of a sewer.
The members of the council refused
to act in the matter and it was finally
referred to the street committee for
further investigation. The members
of the council indicated clearly that in
the future the city water mains will
not be extended to property outside
the city.

the council very interesting report
in regard to the rebating of taxes.
Many petitions were brought to the
council urging rebates and in report
ing on these the committee held that
under the state law the city council
had no power to make assessments or
power TO rebate taxes, levied on as
sessments made In legal manner.
The committee suggested that the peo-
pie seeking rebates take up the matter
with the assessors and secure from
them certificates of error in making
the assessments. When such certif-
Gates have been secured it is possible
that the members of the committee
will find some way for the correction
of the errors.

Power to Grant Rebates.

The proposition to limit the speed of
electric railway cars operated on the
streets of the city, the proposed whip
of the people of Milwaukee avenue to
gain their point against the MilWau
kee company, brought division on
Monday evening at the meeting of the
common council and it did not look
very favorable to the passage Of any
ordinance. The aldermen from the
north side of the city sought to have
the speed limit placed at from six to
eight miles an hour, while the alder
men from other sections of the city
indicated that they were favorable to
speed of from twelve to fifteen
miles an hour. A speed of twelve
miles was fAally named in the propos-
ed ordinance, but several of the mem
bers of the council have declared that
they will not vote for this provision
and it is pretty certain that there are
breakers ahead for the ordinance.
While the north side men were favor
able to operating the cars at snail 8
pace the south side aldermen held
that this would greatly affect the OPP
eration of the local lines of the rail
way company and that with speed
limit placed at from eight to twelve
miles an hour it would be impossible
for the railway company to furnish
local service as is furnished at the
present time. The real fight on the
ordinance will come ait the next meet
ing of the council.

WESLEYAN WON'T PLAY YALE TEAM Declines To Be Chopping Block For Eli Warriors On
 Grfdiron

Wesleyan has awak After hay ing been the football goat for Yale for almost forty years. and having obliged the Ellis by allowing itself to be the trial horse in Ya4e's opening game, Wesleyan has decided to abandon the contest. It was announced at Middle town yesterday that the New Haven management had again offered Wes- 1eyan the first game of the campaign, but, much to the surprise of the Ellis, Wesleyan has declined the date.
 The game held out no promise for Wesleyan but defeat. Y ear after year the NIidd1etown eleven went to New Haven in order to give the Yale coach es a chance to try out all their ma terial, and never did the minor college succeed in making much of an inpres- sion on the big varsity. This season, for instance, Wesleyan had only a seant week in which to gather it's forces for the Yale game, and conse- auently went down to an easy defeat, by 21 to 0.
 It may be that Yale will favor Wes 1eyan with later date, but present in Blue will very likely regard the action as 8 snub and take Wesleyan off the schedule, for next year at least. Danny Hutchinson, the old Pennsylvania play CT, who is coach at Wesleyan, started the movement to drop the opening trimming by Yale, as the defeat has always had a. dispiriting effect on the Midd1etoWn men.

LEvInSKY WINNER
 OVER JIM FLYNN

Despite an advantage. of twenty pounds in the weight and consistent use of foul tactics that would have justified his disqualification in any round after the first, Jim Flynn was the easiest kind of a cinch for Bat ting Levinsky, in their bout in the Atlantic Garden A. C., New York, last night With all his greater experi- ence and rushing tactics that early in the opening session made him look like a, speedy winner, Flynn was out c1assed and fortunate to go the limit of ten rounds.
 Levinsl1y proved the Pueblo Fire mans master at every angle of the game except one-and that was but ting and hitting on the break. Not only was Levinsky far too clever for his man on the attack, but was equal ly adept in defensive tactics. Flynn rarely got chance to get at his op- ponent, and even then he failed to do very much damage. Flynn did not land more than a dozen clean blows during the entire battle.
 Levinsky entered the ring scaling at 1s7, while Flynn weighed in at 187.

RAMBLERS CLEAN UP BLUE RIBBONS StratfOrd Five Catch Local Bows With Weak Lineup and
 Win Out
(By WRGner.)

The Blue Ribbons are either over confident to the point of foolishness or else they are kind hearted. They went against the strong Rambler bas- ketbaH team at Colonial hall last night with four of their regulars and an in experienced substitute. The result was that the Ramblers ran away from them in the first half. When Manager Leavy put on a uniform in the second period his team did better and many thought that if he had started the game the result might have been diff ferent. Although the Ribbons rallied in the last few minutes they were beaten by 39 to 36. The Ribbons were weakened because Beardsley would not play against his old team.
 In the first period the Ribbons were off form completely. Neither Hurley nor Wigglesworth could locate the basket and many chances were lost. On the other hand Stark and Blame piled 'em in for the Ramblers. Stark proved the sensation of the evening and his shots wrom the center of the floor were features. Chief Snyder was sent to guard Stark in the second half and the youngster didn't get SO many goals.
 Pig Smith. who was expected to ar fol tne Ribbons, did not play in his usual style and his lapse had sor4et9 9ins .-> with the Ram -lers' victory Tn, half ended with the Fscore 22 to 15 in favor of the Ram nlc"s In the second session the Rib 1ons, wth I.eavy in the game, started brilliantly and soon made two goals, making the figures 22 to 19. Then tho FsambIers went ahead again and piled up a big. lead. But the Ribbons rallied and in the closing minutes the crowd was in an uproar. Time was called, however, with the Ribbons three points shy.
 Dancing followed the game. The line up:
