On account of the prevalence of
storms from the east ON the lake for
a week past, the water in the city
mains has been in fearful condition
the last day or two and while it was
clearing slightly this afternoon, the
indications are that the muddy condi-
tion VII continue for some days yet.
The water in the mains Thursday was
as bad as it has ever been since the
building of the water works and that
is saying a good deal. Some days ago
the health commissioner sent out a
warning to boil all water used for
drinking purposes and since then the
water in the mains has grown steadily
dirtier. The warning to take every
precaution in using the water could
have been repeated every day this
month with added emphasis. 1t is
evident from the appearance of the
water that a great deal of the dirt
carried in it comes from the clay
banks in the vicinity of the intake
and this dirt, while unpleasant, is not
particularly dangerous, but the lake
has been so stirred by the succession
of storms that if there was any poi
sonous vegetable or animal matter
resting on the bottom of the lake it
must have been taken up by The ac-
tion of the waters and is now held in
the solution coming through the mains.
The health commissioner and the city
engineer who is ex oficio superinten-
dent of the water company, are now
investigating the chlorination process
which is being used with such success
at Waukegan and it is possible that
this means of purifying the water sup
ply will be adopted for this city at
once; but in the meantime every pos
sible precaution should be taken to
prevent the diseases which come from
the use Of impure water gaining a
foothold in the city.

ROAD WORK STARTS IN PARIS
Work in the Eastern Part of County
Will be Started just as Soon as Plans
Have Been Secured From State Com
mission Buy New Highway Outfit.

ne long contest over Gne improve
ment of South Park avenue and the
Lake Shore road to the north of the
city in the town Of Somers, came to an
end on Wednesday afternoon when it
was announced that the state highway
commission had handed down decision
that both of these roads should be i'm
proved by the construction Of con-
crete roadway. 1t is probable that the
width of the roadway on both pieces
Of road will be fourteen feet. Engi-
neer A. r. Hirst Of the commission was
in Kenosha and announced the decision
and the engineers Of the commission
are now busy working out the plans
and specifications for the work on the
roads. It is expected that these will
be ready by the first day of May and
that the work will be started at that
time and rushed as rapidly as possible.
The work on South Park avenue will
probably be started at the city limits
and the work on the road to the north
of the city at the north limits of St.
George cemetery. While money has
not been provided to complete the
work to the county line on the north
and to the union of the South Park
avenue road at the railway switch to
the south of the city it is thought that
money for the completion of the road
will be voted by the towns of Somers
and Pleasant Prairie next season.
Highway Commissioner Mcclellan
has started the road work in the
county. The start was made in the
town Of Paris on the Burlington road
on last Monday morning and full
road outfit is being used on that road.
The wet weather just at present is in
terfering with the work, but it is
thought that within a month the work
will be well under way in several parts
of the county In order to facilitate
the road work the committee met on
Wednesday and ordered an entire new
outfit for road work and it is probable
that a third outfit will be ordered let
er in the month.
Just at present the work is being
held up on account of the fact that
the state commission has not sent the
plans for the work to Kenosha. The
demand from all over the state for
plans is so great that the state COM
mission has been unable to meet it,
However, the work is now getting we'll
under way at Madison and the local
officials have received assurance that
plans will all be ready by the first
Of May.
The town boards Of the various
towns in Kenosha county are taking a
great interest in the road work this
year and it is certain that it will be
pushed with all vigor in all parts of
the system.
It is possible that some Of the con-
crete work OH roads in the county will
be let to contract, but this matter has
not been definitely decided upon.

Some of the bills introduced at this
session of the legislature which were
not regarded seriously when presented
managed to develop considerable
strength. Take the bill abolishing the

influence of the fraternity men of the

most certain to bob up again at the

GATES TO CONFER WITH
 EQUALIZATION BOARD

Little Rock, Sept, 19.--David A. Gates of the State Tax Con- mission, is in the city from his tour of the state, and will go to Pine Bluff tomorrow, to confer with the Jefferson county Board of Equalization. He reports that he finds nine out of ten of the county judges, and about two ou t of three of the Boards of Equal ization ready and willing to CO., operate with the Commission in the equalization of taxes.
 In some counties, however, he has found conditions very dis couraging. In Calhoun, for in stance, he found that all lands, improved and unimproved farm lands and cut over lands, have been assessed uniformally at S2.5O an acre, regardless of their value, and timber lands at about $6 an acre. This year the as. sessor attempted to rectify this discrepancy, and increased the assessment of farm and cut-ove1 lands to S4 or $5 an acre, but the Board of Equalization came along and undid his work by placing il back at the old figure.
