FIRST MADE IN FORTY YEARS
New Charts will Aid Materially in Sc
curing Improvement Of Conditions at
Ports AL Along the West Shore of
the Lake-Years to Complete Task.

Work on the surveying Of the Great
Lakes for the new government chart
which is to be made, has been started
at Sheboygan. Not since 1871 have
these lakes been surveyed and so many
unchartered shoals, rocks and changes
in the shore line have been found that
it was deemed necessary to make new
records.
Three boats, the .Search,' the elm
spection7 and the Number Eight =
are doing that work. There is a crew
of twenty four men on the boats, six
of whom are experienced civil engi-
neers.
It will require about three more years
before the chart will be completed.
The government has been laboring on
the new survey for the past two years,
winter only stopping the work each
year.
During the cold months the maps are
drawn by government experts in De-
troit, Mich.
1t is not probable that the govern
ment engineers will reach the port of
Kenosha before sons time next year.
Men interested in Tae lake business in
Kenosha nosd that This. .nasv chart will
be the most important. work Of the
government in this district in many
years. During the more than forty
years that have. elapsed since the MAX
ing of the last chart the entire condi-
ton of the Kenosha harbor and the
lake surrounding it has been changed.
The northeast storms have. swept the
sand into the harbor changing the lines
to such an extent that the present
charts are of little value to mariners
sailing out Of the local port.
The engineers are not only making
the new charts but they are making
other Investigations which will be of
greatest value to the engineers of the
war department in providing for future
expenditures for harbors along the
west shore of the lake. All the cities
on this shore of the lake have to meet
the same problem in providing proper
harbors and the data now being gath
cred will give the department something
to work on. The charts so far made
have been utilized in making provi-
sions at ports in Michigan and other
states and when the work is completed
off Kenosha it is certain that congress
will see the necessity of making some
further appropriations to provide for
changes here.
Charts of the inside lines of the har-
Dor have been made in recent years
but these are of little value save as a
guide to demands for dredging.

BOARD OF CONTROL TO BUILD
State Board of Control Met Tuesday
regarding erection of Hospitals, etc.

The state board of control held a
meeting yesterday at Madison to con
slider the erection of new buildings and
improvements provided for at the last
session of the legislature. One of the
first things to be considered will be the
erection of the women s reformatorv
near Fond du Lac, an appropriation for
which has already been made. 1t is also
expected that committee of the
board will be ready to report on the
site for the new home for the feeble
minded, which is to be located in
southern, or southeastern Wisconsin.
Among sites being considered by the
committee are places near Watertown,
Oconomowoc and Waukesha. State
Forester E. N. Griffith and DR.. G. w.
Coon of the Wales Sanatoriunl will re-
port for the new tuberculosis sanato-
rum to be located on the state forestry
reserve. 1t is understood that site
has been found SO that the patients
will be able to do some farm work in
connection with the work that will be
furnished by the forestry board
Plans will be also made at this
meeting for the opening of the Grimm
al insane hospital at Waupun. This
building will be completed early in Sep
TENDER and nearly sixty people will be
Immediately moved to this institution.
1t is also possible that the board may
consider plans for the employment Of
prisoners in highway construction at
this meeting.

COLLECT FOR SEWER STUBS
Property Owners Have Withheld Pay
ment Claiming that they dosnot know
to who the Money Should be Paid

The Friebefg and Laureson sewer
contract on Lyman avenue is to have
further complications as on Tuesday,
E. @. Nye, referee in bankruptcy for
the eastern district of Wisconsin direct
ed Attorney A. E. Buckmaster of this
city who was named as trustee for the
bankrupts several months ago to insti-
tute suits against thirty property own
ers in Kenosha with a view of collect
ing for the creditors monies alleged to
be due the sewer contractors for the
putting in of sewer stubs. A claim of
ty cases and Attorney Buckmaster to-
day notified the property owners that

the amounts claimed were not paid to
him as trustee These stubs were put
in by the contractors at the same time
the partial building of the sewer was
in their hands and the amount claimed
is the amount agreed upon between the
contractors and the property owners.
The city has no jurisdiction over these
claims as the work was no part of the
contract between the city and the sewer
contractors.
Many Of the property owners rave
refused to pay for the stubs. alleging
that the work was poorly done and that
the abandonment of the sewer contract
ors by the bankrupt company made it
possible for the cellars to be filed with
sewage. Other property owners have
refused to make any settlements until
directed by the court holding that they
wanted to be safeguarded against fu-
ture demands of creditors. Many cred
itors of the COMPANY in Kenosha sought
to nave the affairs of the contracting
company settled outside the bankruptcy
courts but this effort failed.
Trustee Buckmaster stated this morn
Ing that the assets OF the contracting
company would amount to close to $500
and that the liabilities including monies
advanced by banks on the contract
would amount to more than $4,000. Tt
it thought that small dividend will be
declared in favor of the creditors.

that final settlement between the
bonding company and the city will be
made at an early meeting of the COM
mon council.

FOURTH PHONE CITY IN STATE
Twelve Hundred Phone Stations have
been Added to the Kenosha Lines in
Last Two and a Half Years, the To-
tai Reaching $500 at Present Time.

A big force Of Workmen of the
Western Electric Company have start
ed work to make notable additions to
the plant of the Kenosha Home Tele-
phone Company and in the next two
months the capacity Of the Kenosha
plant will be largely increased. This
has been found necessary in order to
meet the rapid growth Of the use of
the telephone in Kenosha. The work
men will make additions to the big
switch board Of the company which
will make possible the addition of FIVE
hundred new phone stations. The Ke-
nosha exchange has grown by leaps
and bounds during the past two years
and in that time an increase Of more
than fifty per cent in the number of
phones has taken place. At the pres
ent time the local exchange has a
total Of thirty-three hundred phone
stations and from a telephone stand
point Kenosha is the fourth largest
city in the state. The cities with a
greater number Of phones are Mil
waukee, Racine and Superior.
In Kenosha the telephone has be-
come necessity n e#ery BUSINESS
house and in a large number Of resi-
dences. Twelve hundred new phones
have been put in service in the city in
the past two and half years and
there is q demand for a further ex-
tension Of the service making it neces-
sary to proceed at once with the in
stallation of the new section of the
switch board.
In addition to the extension of the
lines in the city many extensions have
been made ito the rural lines. At the
present time nearly every farm house
in Kenosha county is equipped with a
telephone connected with one of the
three systems of phone lines Farmers
have taken very kindly to the extern
sion Of the phone system and the men
in charge of the rural lines have of
fered many inducements to the new
subscribers. Extensions have been
made to all of the lines in the county
during the present year and and the
companies are facing the problem Of
putting in larger plants in order to
take care Of the growth of the service.
The local company has done much
this year to do away with the wire
systems and many wires have been
placed in cables. The officials are now
working out plans to comply with the
ordinance recently passed by the COM
mon council which demands that wires
in the down town district be placed
under ground. It is expected that the
Kenosha Home Telephone Company
will comply with the provisions of the
ordinance before the time set by the
common council for placing the wires
under ground.
