leaves nexC week for California. At
ter enjoying the big spread, G. s. Judd,

DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO SUE.
Unpaid Bills for Care OF Insane Turn
ed Over to District Attorney.

County Clerk Russell H. Jones has
turned over to the district attorney
bills against twenty people in Keno
sha county for the care of insane in
the various state institutions. The
bill for the keep of these patients has
been paid by the county and the rela-
tIves are now expected to reimburse
the county. Most of the bills are for
the boasd and maintenance of the
patient amounting 20 $Ts.A3. In many
eases it is claimed that the relatives
of the patients are well able to pay
these bills and under the resolution
passed at the last session of the
county board the district attorney
must start suits for collection at once.
More than $500 in fees of this sort
has already been received by the
county clerk and it is possible that
other bills will be settled before the
formal suits are filed. 1t is expected
that the first of the suits which will
be III the nature of test suit will lie
filed the latter part of this month.

City Attorney Drawing Or
dinance to Limit Speed of
Cars on Milwaukee Ave.
BIG CARS SHAKE THE HOUSES

City Attorney John G. Slater, act
ing on the suggestion of Alderman
Jacob Saftig of the eighth ward, is
drawing an ordinance which will limit
the speed Of street cars in the city
Of Kenosha. The ordinance comes in
response to demand from the prop
erty owners on Milwaukee avenue and
it is probable that the ordinance will
regulate the speed to eight or twelve
miles an hour. It will be similar to
the speed limits prescribed in other
cities of the state.
AS a basis for the ordinance some
fantastic complaints have been receiv-
ed from the Milwaukee avenue peo-
pie. They claim that the interurban
cars have been run on Milwaukee
avenue at a rate of from thirty to
thirty-five miles per hour and that the
vibrations caused by the speed of the
cars has caused many losses to prop
erty owners. 1t is claimed that plas-
tering has been cracked in houses,
dishes thrown from shelves in the pan
try and ornaments thrown to the floor
and broken in the living rooms. It is
said that people III the houses can
easily recognize the vibrations caused
by the passing of the big cars and 1t
that time the houses are tilted as if by
earthquake shock.
The complaint seems to be gen.
eral one on the avenue and the peo-
pie declare that the rails on the street
are too light for the operation of the
big interurban cars. It is asserted
that at nights the ears run at higher
speed than in the day time and that
many people residing in houses along
the avenue are being deprived of their
sleep on account Of the shaking of the
houses. Racine has already enacted
an ordinance relating to the speed of
cars and it is pretty certain that the
ordinance will be passed by the Ke-
nosha council at an early meeting.
Some evidence of the damage that is
being done by the operation Of the
cars is to be brought out in the hear
ing of the suit brought by the proper
ty owners and it is declared that this
evidence will show clearly the need
Ct a limit to the speed at which these
cars are operated.

BAR PLAIN DRINKS
intoxicated People Will Not
be Permitted to Board
Cars of Milwaukee Co.
CONDUCTORS GIVEN ORDERS

For several years past the officials
of tn Milwaukee Electric Railway
and Light Company have been greatly
annoyed, because of rufians and
drunken men, boarding the interurban
cars, especially on Saturday and Sun
day evenings, creating disturbances
and often fighting. They have de-
termined to stop this practice and IN
convenience to patrons. During the
summer months a number Of deputies
are to be hired and placed on incom-
ing cars and arrests aud prosecution
will follow.
There is new law relating to
drunkenness on railway trains and
prohibiting the drinking of intoxicat-
ing liquors thereon and which pro-
vides penalty. This law has been
printed on cards and all conductors
and motormen on the interurban lines
have been furnished with copy. 1t
provides that conductors may place
under arrest drunken persons not be-
having themselves and also take liquor
it is necessary for the conductor to
resort to the authority under the law
to maintain order and prevent rowdy-
ism on the interurban cars by intoxi
Gated persons, immediate notice must
the conductor will be held responsible
for the use Of reasonable dicretion in
ed under the law. Motormen are re-
CURED to cooperate in every possible
way with conductors in the enforce
ment Of the law.
Operating Manager FL. II. Timme of
the Kenosha Electric Railway Com
pany has received instructions from
the head Office of the company that
the same rules must be carried out On
local cars. Drunken people will not
be tolerated on the cars and conduc-
tors have been instructed to refuse
such people admission to the ears
The greatest number of complaints
have been received from passengers
on the NJ. R. and X. road and it is
claimed that in the summer months
the cars of the company running be-
tween Kenosha and Racine have been
so frequented with drunken people as
to make it almost impossible for them
to be used by the general travelling
public. This has been particularly
true of the cars picking up the Sat
ufday and Sunday night crowds at
Central Park and at dance halls along
the electric line to the north of Ra-
cine. Frequent protests have been
made to the company and it is thought
that the new order will put an end to
these nuisances.

Bill introduced at Madison
Provides for Pay Of the
School Board Members.
MEETINGS AS DAYS WORK

Legislation is proposed at this SEES
sion for the payment of school board
members. The initial bill on the sub
ject was measure that came in early
in the session which provided that
members of the Milwaukee school
board should be given salaries of $500
year. There was then some talk Of
the introduction of bill for the COM
pensation OF school board members in
second and third class cities and as .
result a substitute bill is being formu-
lated by the assembly committee on
education which will provide that
members of school boards shall re-
ceive So a day for all days actually
devoted by them to school board work.
This will mean that attendance on
school board meetings and school
board committee meetings will be CON
sidered days work.
The bill for the compensation of
school board members originated with
the social democrats, who claim that
members of their party are working
men who could i'll afford to lose the
time necessary for attendance on
school board meetings and school
board committee meetings and that it
was no more than right they, should
receive compensation for the time
they gave the city in looking after
school board matters.
The members from the second and
third class cities seem to agree in this
view and also decided that there was
no more reason why school board
members should not be compensated
than aldermen or members of the
county board, and therefore bill for
the compensation Of school board mem
bers received at once considerable
endorsement.
The substitute bill will be drafted
for presentation some time this week
and the supporters of the bill appear
to think that it viii get by the legis-
lature. The compensation of school
board members is a new departure in
Milwaukee, they having been the one
branch of the government with legis-
lative power to whom no pay was
given. 1t is said also that the school
boards in all of the smaller cities o.
the state. serve without pay.

After beating about the bush for
weeks and weeks the special council
committee and the board of health
finally decided to locate the isolation
hospital on Washington Island on the
city property and the council appro-
priated a thousand dollars to put the
old buildings in condition for use.
There will be opposition to this action,
Of course, but not more than might
be expected no matter where the coun-
ell decided to put this institution and
as the city would be put to heavy ex-
pense if any other place was chosen
for the hospital, it was finally decided
to go ahead and test the rights of the
city to maintain such an institution
on the Washington Island site. From
the very first the board of health has
contended that an isolation hospital
was an absolute necessity under the
conditions prevailing il this city if
the spread Of contagious diseases was
to be SUCCESSFULLY combatted and the
public viii look for a speedy improve
ment in conditions following the open
ing of the new institution.
