RECOMMEND 81 FOOT STREET.
Park Commission Makes Recommends
ton in Regard to Paving Congress ST.

The board of park commissioners has
sent formal report to the common
council regarding the paving of Con-
gress street. The report followed
long conferences with the property
owners and the commission recommends
ed to the council that the width of the
street between Grand avenue and
Strong street be placed at twenty
seven feet. This is in The nature of
a compromise. Some of the property
owners sought to have the street paw
ed to a width of thirty feet while
others declared for a twenty-five foot
roadway. 1t is thought that the coun-
ell viii follow the recommendations of
the commission in the Improvement Of
the street. The commission holds that
the street is a residence street and
that as there is no reason to believe
that it will ever be lsed for business
purposes that the sentiment of a ma
jority of the property owners should
be considered.

BLAZE AT FREIGHT HOUSE.
Firemen Fight Blaze at North Western
FREIGHT House Just before MIDNIGHT.

The fire department was called out
just before midnight Monday night on
account of a blaze in the main freight
house of the Chicago & North Western
railway company. The fire started in
bunch of coats which had been hung
up along the side of the depot about
the center of the building and when it
was discovered it had burned quite a
hole ir the side of the building. The
iremen managed to extinguish the flame
with the use of two tanks of chemicals.
Fortunately the flames did not get into
the center of the building which was
filed with freight and no damage was
done to any of the merchandise. The
loss from the fire will not exceed SIS
and it is fully covered by insurance.
Agent kits and his assistants are MAX
ing an effort to discover the cause of
the blaze. 1t is generally supposed to
have resulted from a lighted pipe be-
ing left in the pockets of one of the
men.

ASSESSORS START WORK.
City Assessment Board Started Work
Today and will Complete it Aug. Is.

The City Board of Assessment started
its work for the year this morning and
for the next ten days the assessors will
be kept busy copying real estate trans
fers. Under the orders of the council
the assessors started work three weeks
earlier this year and every possible eff
fort will be made to have the assess
ment completed and turned over to the
city clerk on or before the 18th day of
August. The card system which was
used SO successfully last year will be
used again this year. Early assessment
of personal property will be demanded
this year and the assessors expect to
have the assessment Of this property
completed early in the summer. In
other years the assessment of the per-
sonal property has been left to the last
but this year this work will be done
at the same time real estate property
is assessed.

inauguration of a new governing body.
The last meeting proved Il very i'm
portant one for the people Of the city.
Before giving up the reins of the
city to new council the old council
provided for publicity for the proceed
ings of the council in the future and
by a unanimous vote it was decided
that the proceeding of each meeting
should be published officially in the
Kenosha Evening News. Printed
copies of the minutes Of each meeting
will be served upon the aldermen and
at the end of the year fifty copies OF
the proceedings will be bound into
book form for permanent records
This step is regarded as long step
forward as the people of the city will
now be able to keep close tab on the
detailed work of the city council.
One of the last things done by the
old council was to settle the question
of the paving of Salem avenue and the
council decided that the contractor
must carry out the original petition Of
the property owners. This provided
for the paving of the street with Barr
brick and filing the brick with
Pioneer filler. The manufactures of
the Pioneer filler sent a letter to the
council giving assurance that a special
bond would be provided to safeguard
the city against loss through any
court action and Alderman Rhode of
the street and alley committee, who
had made a careful investigation in
Chicago, declared that there was no
foundation for the declaration that an
effort was being made to over-charge
Kenosha contractors for Barr brick.
The final action on the matter had the
unanimous vote of the council. The
mayor and city clerk were instructed
to sign contract with George r.
Wade for the paving of the street I'M
der these provisions and with the
further provision that the work be
started on or before April 18th. If
Contractor Wade is unwilling to &C
cept the contract under these terms
new bids will be asked
There was little other business of
Importance before the old council

Figures compiled by the industrial
commission of Wisconsin for the year
ending Sept. l, 1912, give one some
idea of the enormous cost to the pub
lie of industrial accidents. Under the
Wisconsin law employees are entitled to
sixty-fve per cent of che loss in wages
during disability; payments are to be
made weekly, except that the first
week IS wage may be withheld until the
twenty-ninth day.
During the first year 1915 out Of
6.641 cases reported were settled by
the payment of a lump sum Of
$63,432.9o, ar average Of 1921 per
case. This represents the amount paid
as compensation to the average iniur-
ed employe; it does not represent the
actual cost of the accident. The 1921
represents sixty-five per cent of the
average yearly earnings lost by the
employe; the real loss is $S0.32. In
"POuU NAAGy pSICGuG VI GHo cases T06
disability was for less than twenty
nine days, and, therefore, to get the
actual loss it is necessary to add a
weeks wage to the amount given
above in sixty per cent Of the cases.
On the basis of an average wage of
$1,000, the wages lost in an average
accident case would amount to 1862
The total loss, therefore, for the goal
cases reported would amount to
$575, 243.42.
This figure, imposing as it is, does
not tell the whole story by any means,
for accident reports were not required
from railways during the first year.
If railway accidents be included, the
total loss must have been about
100000. A million dollars in a
single state in a year is a pretty high
price to pay for industrial accidents
large proportion of which are avoid
able. Here is indeed an object lesson
worth bordering. Record Herald.

NO CHANGE IN CONTRACT
Old Council Votes Unanimously to Give
More Publicity to the Proceedings of
the Council and a Detailed Report
Will be Published.

The old council passed into history
on Monday night and the men who re-
tired from the body carried with them
out of the council chamber memories
Of one Of the most pleasant meetings
they had ever attended. If there was
bitterness over the outcome of the
election it was completely eradicated
by the good fellowship which marked
the last gathering of the men who
had served the city for the past year.
1t was an evening Of fareWells, but
there was no note of sorrow in the
farewells and the men who retired
from tthe council took with them the
best wishes of the remaining members
and also. words Of praise for the loyal
service they had given the city during
their terms of Office.
The aldermen began to say "good
bye" when they gathered about the
dinner table at the Hotel Kenosha
where the members OF the old council
and many of the officials of the city
were the guests of Mayor Head. The
dinner was a delightfully."- informal
gathering at which the men who call
ed themselves "about to be has beens'
furnished the oratory and the amuse-
ment. Alderman G. F. Stemm, and he
was in one of his happiest moods, was
the postmaster for the evening and
every one of the retiring aldermen
were called upon for a speech at the
post prandial exercises. All Of them
declared that they had served with
pleasure as members Of the council
and that in leaving they carried with
them only happy memories. Toast
master stemm paid great tribute to
Mayor Head during the evening, de-
claring that no mayor had ever treat
ed a council more impartially.
The council went directly from the
dinner to the council chamber and in
an hour closed up all the business in
hand and cleared the decks for the

linaro and two daughters, Mrs. Louisa
DeBartelo and Mrs. Carmen Potenzino,
all of Kenosha. Funeral services will

THE PAULIST CHoRIsTERs OF
CHICAGO.

A great deal of curiosity has been
manifested as to the methods and
point of view in vogue among The
Paulist Choristers who are to appear
here Thursday evening, April 18th I'M

can hardly listen unmoved to the train

boy, seems to surcharge all Of the mu-
sic that seems to proceed in his throat
with an almost supernatural message.
Wherever these Choristers have APP
peared, there has been unanimous ex-
pressions of this conviction.

of work which does not resemble in
any detail a phase the output of other
musical organizations, consequently, it
is reasonably said that these Choristers

The rummage sale season is on us
again and although several boxes of
clothing were made up for the flood
sufferers it is probable that there is
enough left in the city to furnish the
material for several of these sales.
These sales are Objectionable on many
grounds, but they will doubtless con.
tinue to be held so long as they re-
turn quick and easy profits to the or
CARNATIONS which promote them and
that being the case, an order should
be made by the health department. re-
curing the managers of these sales to
have all the second hand goods to be
disposed of thoroughly fumigated be-
fore they are offered to the public.
There is no easier way to communicate
contagious diseases than through the
medium of old clothes and the health
department SHOULD take all possible
precaution to prevent any dissemina-
tion of disease through these rummage
sales. Kenosha has had too hard a
fight to control contagious disease in
the city to take any chances.

ARRESTS IN ZION CITY RIOTS.
Three Men and Two Women Crusaders

marshal of Zion City yesterday to en-
force the recent ordinance against
street parades. Five arrests were made.
Two of the prisoners are women cru

were knocked down in the fight. Vo-
Iva did not take part in the parade.
Those arrested were: Mrs. Theodore
Becker, Mrs. F. NJ. Royal, Thomas
Mole, Robert MacMichael and Emerson
Thompson.
The trouble started in front Of the
administration building. The crusad-
ers had been warned not to attempt to
hold a parade. Voliva declared the
officials had no right to prohibit the
parade and ordered his followers to GO
into the street.
nO CIuoduCIo IOIH0Q LII Two ulN1-
sions. The first, composed of fifty men
and women, proceeded out the front
door of the administration building.

ers went out the rear door and had
gone two blocks before they were dis
covered.

So far the objections made by the
federal government to the location OF
the isolation hospital on Washington
Island are purely formal and it is not
intimated in any of the correspondence
between the government officials over
the matter that the government will
take any further steps to prevent the
use Of the city property for hospital
purposes should the city authorities go
ahead with the plan to locate the hos
pital on the island. One thing is GER
tain and that is that the city authori-
ties will meet opposition no matter
where they locate the institution.
