APPoRTIoNs SCHOOL FUND.
Kenosha County to Receive $50, 9155C
from State School Fund.

Kenosha County to Receive $50. 915. so
from State School Fund.
State Superintendent c. P. Cary on
Monday afternoon gave out the appor-
tionment of the state fund for the year
and Kenosha county will receive from
the fund the sum of $30,915.50. The
fund is apportioned to the various
counties in proportion to the number
of children of school age and the
amount to Kenosha county this year is
considerable in excess of the amount
collected as county school tax last year.
Last year the county received from
the state $27,985.93 and the amount of
the county school tax levied this wear
was $28,004. The county will secure
nearly $4,000 in "velvet' from the
state due to the large increase in the
number Of children Of school age dur
ing the past year State aid has been
denied to twenty three districts in the
state on account of the failure of the
trustees to meet the provisions of the
law and provide for at least eight
months of school for The children.
None of the districts so cut off are To-
Gated in Kenosha county.

CONCERNING XMAS SHOPPING.
Kenosha Woman's Business Venture
in Old Furniture and Fixtures.

There are doubtless many people In
Kenosha interested in old furniture and
the pictures and ornaments which grac-
ed our grandmother IS walls and parlor
mantels, who are unaware what a
unique little antique and gift shop we
have in our midst, presided over by
one Of our well known society and club
women, Mrs. Joseph R. Garrison.
Having failed to follow the good adj
vice of the Evening News to do any
Christmas shopping early | was at
my wits end this morning to procure at
a moment s notice gift to be sent at
once to a friend whose special fad is
g antiques. Suddenly the thought Of
these attractive curios at number 434
Exchange street flashed into my mind
and there the very old jewel box was
found that was sure to suit the fastidi-
Gus taste of my friend as well as it
did the limited capacity Of my purse.
Being specially keen on women s
clubs and women $ work, / was inter-
ested to hear from Mrs. Clarkson of
the growth Of her business Venture and
to learn that her search for treasures,
furniture in the farm houses near Ke-
nosha had been an inspiration to Mrs.
Col. Aiken Of Winthrop Harbor, to call
together the women Of her neighbor-
hood for a talk on "Old Furniture
and that from this had sprung the idea
of the founding of !" Women S Club !,
for the study Of home furnishing and
home building. At these worthy meet
ings Mrs. Aiken hopes that Kenosha
women will occasionally give addresses
on subjects in which they specialize, as
does Mrs. Clarkson in old furniture.

Parent Teachers Associa-
ton Seek for Schools to be
Used as Social Centers
PLAN FOR WELL At sCHu0L

Many questions of interest to the
teachers and parents of children Of the
public schools were discussed at a
meeting of the Parent-Teachers AS
ISOLATION held at the assembly room of
the high school on Monday evening
and most important Of all was the dis
cussion of plans to secure purer water
for the children at the high school
Some time ago the association sent a
communication to the board of educa-
tion asking that the artesian water be
piped into the school and the board
sent back letter in which it held that
all of the schools were provided with
filters which if properly taken care
of would furnish good water for the
use Of the students. This failed to
satisfy the members Of the association
and the digging Of an artesian well on
the school grounds with the under
standing that the water from it could
be piped into the building was strong
ly urged 1t was held that the cost Of
such we'll would be in the neighbor-
hood of $500 and the members of the
association present and there were
NOR than hundred of them, declared
that they would be willing to raise
funds for at least a portion of the ex-
pense of digging the well. 1t was urged
that other funds be sought from alum
nj members of the. high school and it is
thought that the plans started at the
meeting will result in the well being
provided.
The members Of the association list
ened to very interesting address by
Judge Clifford E. Randall on the sub
ject 1.-THE Amusement Of the Children
at Home Judge Randall urged strong
" the duty of the parents to provide
such amusement as would make the
home attractive and such as would sup
plement the moral training which the
children received at the schools of the
city The discussion which followed
the address led into discussion of the
use of the schools as social centers and
it was urged that the schools be made
the gathering places of the children out
Of school hours. The association will
lead in movement to secure wider
use of the schools for such meeting
places and the head of the association
will later name a committee to work
with the teachers of the schools IN Sc
curing more wholesome amusement for
the children.
At the close Of the evening refresh
ments We're served ard tie meeting
proved one q the mosf Interesting
ever held lly tbs Association.

ROAD FUNDS TO GET BALANCE
AL Contractors Claims Will be Paid at
Once and Money in Funds Will be
Left as a Balance to Start the Work
With the Opening of New Season.

There was something doing in the
highway department of the county to-
day as this morning County Treasurer
Hartman received in the first mail a
state warrant from the secretary of
state for the payment of all of the
unpaid road money due to Kenosha
county from the state road fund The
total was $4,000 and with this money
the county will be able to meet all
claims against. it for road work and
there will be a balance to the amount
of more than $4,000 in the various funds
OF the different towns. Some time ago
the contract work on the roads was
completed, but the contractors were not
paid in full on account of the failure
of the state to get out the warrant for
the amount due the county. This af-
ternoon county orders were issued to
settle up every outstanding liability
against the road funds. 1t was big
day for the contractors as they had
been anxiously awaiting their money
for the better part of a month and all
of them had been forced to make pro-
visions for the payment Of their work
men III anticipation of the coming of
the funds from the state. The money
was apportioned by the state among
the different towns as follows:

CITY TO HAVE ONE ASSESSOR
Council Votes Without Division to
Amend Charter and Change System
of Assessment in the City Christ
mas Money for the Officials.

The city council had its first formal
notice Of plans for the building of a
new high school in the city on Monday
evening when a communication was
sent to that body by the board of edu-
cation asking that the council provide
that the question of issuing bonds in
the sum Of 100000 for the erection
of new high school building be sub
mitted to the people at the election to
7 be held next spring. In demanding
this amount the board has sought to
cover both. the cost Of site and the
! cost of the erection Of the new build
ing 1t is estimated that the site for
/ the new school will cost in the neigh
borhood Of 1000 and the plans now
/ in the hands of the board provide for
the erection of a building, the esti-
mated cost of which is $250,000. The
council by a unanimous vote, directed
the city attorney to draw up a resolu-
tion providing for the submission Of the
question of the bond issue to the peo-
pie ard formal action on the matter
will be taken at the next meeting of
the council. Should the high school
plan meet with the approval Of the peo-
pie of the city it will be possible to
begin the work of erection in the sum
mer Of 1914 and this would make the
completion of the building possible in
1915. Members of the school board
and council at joint meeting agreed
that no action on the building of new
building should be taken without the
submission of the question of the
people

Change Assessment Plan.

d
Next year the city of Kenosha will
have but one assessor The council,
without division, voted to accept the
report of the finance committee in
which one assessor was recommended.
There was a considerable discussion as
to the methods of the naming of the
assessor. Several of the aldermen de
sired to have the matter taken out OF
the list of regular elective Offices and
have the assessor named by the com
mon council. City Attorney Slater de-
clared that this plan could not be fol
lowed, either under the special charter
of the city, or the general charter law.
There was anxiety among the aldermen
as to what would become of the asses
scr who would hold over, but in the
plan Of the committee it was provided
that during the first year of the single
assessment plan the hold-over assessor
should act as an assistant to the new
assessor to be elected. 1t is thought
that after the system is in working
order it will not be necessary to en-
ploy any assistant for the assessor
Members of the council We're unit in
declaring that the present system of
assessing the property of the city was
decidedly unsatisfactory. Before the
final action of the council is taken an
ordinance mast be passed to change
the city charter, This will be done by
adopting certain portions of the gen.
eral charter law.
No Action on Lights.
The council again laid over the ques-
tion of providing for decorative lights
in the down town district of the city.
This was made necessary on account of
the fact that the petitions for the lights
had not been properly signed and the
city attorney claimed that it would be
impossible to proceed legally with the
ordinance until these petitions had
been put into proper form. The one
petition in doubt was in the hands of
the promoters of the scheme and It is
expected that it win be properly sign
ed before the next meeting of the
council
There was little routine business to
come before the council The new or
dinance providing for residence dis
tricts along Prairie avenue as recent
" outlined was given its first reading
and it will be up for passage at the
next meeting of the council. The con
tract for the relaying of the floors in
the central engine house was awarded
to Windorf Brothers and the cost of
the work will be in the neighborhood
OF $400 The council turned down a
plan for the installation of reinforced
concrete floors IN the building. holding
that such floors would not be practical.
Officials Of the city are to be given
a chance to have visit from Santa
Claus at their homes and to this end
the city clerk and mayor were instruct

Der. The council completed it's work
