TO START BUILDINGS At ONCE

movement has been started to pro-
vide a Social Centre for the west side
of the city. The Mems Club of ST..
Matthew's Parish is behind the pro-
ject 1t is proposed to erect build
ing at the corner of Salem avenue and
Edward street that shall be equipped
for all kinds of social and educational
work. 1t will also provide place of
recreation for the people of the west

WORK TO The TAVERN ASSURED
State Highway Commission Will Pass
on Bids at Once and Work Will Prob
ably Be Started on or Before First of
May-Water Proves Big Problem.

That concrete roads in the county
this year will cost, more than they did
in 1913 was shown by the bids receiv-
ed by the highway commissioner on
Wednesday afternoon for the fifteen
foot concrete roadway to be built on
the Geneva road. Mockler and Darrow
of Waukegan will undoubtedly get the
contract and their bid for the con
struction of the road to the Tavern
cross roads will be $28,504.11. This
point was arbitrarily selected for the
figuring out of the bids and with an
appropriation of $4,000 for the i'm
provement of this road the work will
be extended to a point considerable
farther west than the tavern.
1t is expected that close to three
miles of concrete .oad will be built.
The main trouble that is confronting
the contractors is securing water for
the construction Of roads at a point
a considerable distance from the city.
On the roads built last season the
water was secured by pipes laid from
the mains of the city. On the roads
in the towns of Bristol and Pleasant
Prairie it will be necessary to haul all
the water used in the mixing of the
concrete and the work of getting the
water has brought an increase in the
cost of the roads. The bids received
on Wednesday afternoon were sent to
the officials of the state commission
this morning and it is expected that
the authority to let the contract will
be sent back to the highway commits
sioner within the next few days so as
to make possible the starting of the
work on the Geneva road by the first
of May.
The Waukegan contractors are said
to have had a lot of experience in
building concrete roads and they have
had contracts in this county in past
years.
The contract price includes the COM
pletion of the road including the ex-
cavation, concrete roadway, culverts,
shoulders and all other work in this
connection. Extra work will be paid
for at actual cost with an added profit
of ten per cent. The bids for the work
figured from the end of the present
roadway to the Tavern cross roads
follow:
Mockler & barrow, W'kegan. $28, 5O4.11
Griffith Co., Racine 28,697S1
M. M. McCugo, Waukegan. ). 30,745.07
M. A. Kent, Kenosha ....... 31,993.45
Olaf Jorgensen, Kenosha -. 33,614.99
George R. Wade, Kenosha ;. 35,981.36
This morning the highway commits
sioner received from the state the
specifications and profles for the
concrete work on the Burlington road
and this work will be advertised for
contract at once. This road will be
nine feet in width with gravel

In the municipal court on Thursday
afternoon Judge c. E. Randall handed
down formal order of the court anul.
ling the marriage of Ella Bierbaum of
Kenosha, and John B. Wurthman of
Chicago, which was celebrated at tie
home of the bride S sister in Milwau.
kee on the ninth day of last August.
ut was one of the most unusual suits
ever heard in divorce court in Ke-
nosha county as the principal witness
for the wife was August Wurthman, an
engineer on the Chicago fire department
and the father of the defendant in the
case. Mrs. Wurthman was on the
stand and declared that she had been
separated from Wurthman in less than
twenty-four hours after the marriage
ceremony was performed and that she
had neither seen him or had any com
munication from him since that time.
August Wurthman, the father of the
man, declared on the stand that he had
heard of the marriage If his son to the
Kenosha young woman and knowing
that he had wife and two children
living in Chicago he had gone to Mil
waukee to prevent the marriage, only
to find that the ceremony had already
been performed. The father declared
that he had never seen his so2 since
August 10th, 1918, when he had found
him with his wife at the Milwaukee
house. He told the court that he had
expended considerable sum Of money
i'll seeking to secure some trace of the
missing son, but that all of his eff
forts had been futile Wurthman de-
ciared that since the disappearance Of
the son following his marriage to the
Kenosha woman he had supported his
wife and two children in Chicago and
he declared that he was willing to con-
tinue such support until the MYSTERY
attending his disappearance had been
cleared up. tt is thought possible that
Wurthman is dead. He was but twenty
one years Of age when he contracted
the bigamous marriage with Miss Bier
baum and his father fears that he may
have been mentally unbalanced at the
time. Wurthman strongly urged to the
court the annulment of the marriage.
The order of the court as handed
down contained no prohibition against
the re-marriage of the wife. Under
the law an annulment of marriage is
not followed with the prohibition from
re-marriage within year.
The father of Wurthman declared
that the efforts to find the son would
be continued and that if found he
would be forced to return to Chicago
and support his wife and children
there.

Miss Louise Cottrell to Be-
come Head of Associated
Charities Early in May.
HAS WON ENvIABLE RECORD

President George HI. Allen of the
Kenosha Associated Charities has an
nounced that Miss Louise Cottrell, for
merly secretary of the Kenosha organ
ization, will return to this city and
will resume her work at the head of the
organization early in May. For some
time the officials of the "charities
have been seeking the return of the
former superintendent. Miss Mary
Sands, who has been in charge of the
work in Kehosha for the past year and
a half, is planning to return to settle
ment work and the board of directors
are highly elated over the success of
their efforts to secure The return of
Miss Cottrell.
When the Kenosha Associated Chair
ties was organized four years ago Miss
Cottrell was called to Kenosha 20 take
charge of the organization and she
gave lot of time and energy to get
ting the work started in Kenosha. The
plans which she originally outlined for
y
nosha have been followed by her sue
cessors and the work has been most
successful. There is no person who
knows better the conditions and de-
mands of the poor of Kenosha than
Miss Cottrell. After leaving Kenosha
Miss Cottrell took short rest before
going back into the charity work and
then she was called to LaSalle, ILL.,, to
take hold of an organization in charge
of the charity work in three cities
LaSalle, Oglesby and Peru. She has
been most successful in this work and
the people at LaSalle made strong eff
fort to retain her in that city. Since
its organization Miss Cottrell has taken
a deep interest in the work done by
the Kenosha organization and she adj
mitted her willingness to return to Ke-
nosha if she were released by the La
Sale organization and this release was
finally secured the latter part of last
week.
Miss Sands will remain in Kenosha
until Miss Cottrell can close up the
work at LaSalle and pave the way for
her successor there, and then Miss Cot
trell will be back at her old desk again.
President Allen is enthusiastic over
the return of the former superintendent
and he feels certain that her return
will bring a renewed interest in the
work done by the Kenosha organiza-
ton. Memttars of the board of direc-
tors are planning to give the superin-
tendent a great welcome back to Ke-
nosha.
The work of Miss Sands has been a
notable one in Kenosha. During the
time that she has been in the city she
has done much to make records Of the
relief that has been given by the AS
ISOLATED Charities and her systematic
records will be of great value in flu
ture work. Her intimate knowledge of
foreign born people has been of great
est value to the association workers.
Miss Sands. will carry with her to new
field of labor the best wishes of the
directors of the Kenosha association.
