Committee of Council Gives
Sanction to Plan of the
Water Commissioners.
ORDINANCE TO Be PREPARED

Members of the council committees
on Judiciary and buildings and water
works met with the members of the
water commission at the city hall on
Thursday evening anG as a result of
the meeting the rcquest of the water
board for the passage of an ordinance
making possible an increase in water
rates in the city was given the almost
unanimous sanction of the two commit
tees and report viii be sent to the
council on the first Monday in Septem-
Der which will be accompanied by an
ordinance providing for the increased
rate for water. Alderman Rowe has
not as yet signed the report but it is
thought that he will join with the other
members of the two committees before
the report reaches the council.
At the meeting on Thursday evening
the members of the council got an in
sight into the plans of the water board
for the construction of the new intake
and at the same time they got chance
to see just what rates are being paid
for water rentals in other cities of
Wisconsin and Throughout the country
Members of the council showed little
opposition to the proposed increase in
the water rate and it was declared that
the only reason that a report Lad not
been laid before the council at the
last meeting was that two of the mem
bers OF the committee had not had a
chance to become fully advised as to
just what was planned by the commits
sion.
The ordinance which is now being
drawn will provide for increases in
rates to 90 into effect the first of No
vember of tbs year. The employees of
the water Company. have been instruct
ed to hold up all of the November bills
pending the action Of the council, and
while the delay in getting out the bills
will be considerable it is thought that
the new rate can be applied to all
patrons this year.
The rates now being charged in Ke-
nosha vary from 70 to 4 cents thou
sand gallons. Reports submitted to the
council members by the board and
taken from the annual report of the
American Water Works association
show that the average rate in 307 of
the principal cities of the United
States varies from % to cents. The
average rates of all the municipal
plants in the country vary from IS to
8 cents and In cities where plants are
under private management the rate
varies from a maximum of % cents to
minimum of 1912 cents. It is inter
esting to note that the maximum rate
now charged in Kenosha is only slight
ly in excess of the minimum average
rate in the cities where there are
municipal plants and the minimum rate
Of Kenosha is far below the average
minimum rate.
The report Of the Wisconsin railroad
commission shows the maximum and
minimum rates in Wisconsin cities, as
follows: Green Bay, 21c and be; La
Crosse, zoe and &c; Marinette, zoe and
15e; Milwaukee, Sc and &c; Racine,
2S15c and &c; Superior, 4Oc and Sc.
The statistics furnished by the water
board show that even with the increas-
ed rate proposed by the board the rates
for water In Kenosha viii be far below

Property owners in many parts Of
the city are getting very tired of the
actions of the DRINKS and vandaIs who
have been destroying trees and shrubs
on their property and an effort is to
be made to bring some of these people
into court to see what effect few
stiff fines will have in discOuraging
their operations. All of the cities
along the north shore have had the
same experience with this kind of van
dalism, but others have succeeded to a
large exte- in checking it by prompt
prosecutions Of offenders and there is
no reason why the same course should
not be followed in Kenosha.

coaches for California and intermediate
points made their start, From postal
standpoint st. Joseph was also important,
as there the mail for the west was dis
tributed and pouched for the long journey
across the plains.
The war had done much to hamper the
train service on the Hannibal & St. Jo-
seph, and the mails were often so late
that the westward bound stage coaches
left without them. This worried Davis
who wanted TO see the malls move rap
idly, and he conceived the idea of dis
tributing the mails in transit, between
Quincy and st. Joseph, so as to avoid the
long delay incident to distribution in the
St Joseph office He broached the plan
to Bittinger, who in turn passed it on to
Montgomery Blair. postmaster general,
Blair gave orders for a trial of the
plan and July 2S, 1852, Davis and Guy c.
Barton. clerk in the local office. made
the run from Hannibal to st. Joseph in
the first mail car, lmprovised out of q
baggage coach, with pouch racks and
pigeon holes. The mail was distributed
and ready for the coaches when the train
reached St. Joseph 1t was such a sue
cess that the idea was made permanent
and gradually the distribution in transit
was extended to all the Railroads.&c..

This honoring of the man who did as

part of relatives headed by William r.
Gordon, a son-in-law, who started the
fight for recognition in 1884, ten years
after Davis death.

TO LEAVE WITH NEW FACE
Surgical Patching of Canadian Who
Bumped Against the

Ross Allen of whitby, Canada, the man
with the new face. will be discharged
from St Joseph's hospital, Baltimore, be-
fore the end OF the month II he continues
TO improve.
The final touch was given to the new
face last week and all that now remains
is a shaping up OF the nose.
Allen spoke with pride yesterday of the
work of the hospital surgeons and took
interest in the accomplishment of the
wonderful work. He was practically face
less when he came to Baltimore six
months ago. His nose was gone, and the
lips were missing.
Aliens vitality pulled him through and
the scars gradually healed. His facial dis
figurement resulted in his coming to st.
Joseph's There by a skillful splicing,
new lips and mouth were formed for him.
The corners of the mouth had to be slit
nearly half an inch to allow the ends Of
the lips to be drawn together for the
stitching.
This also knit leaving only the nose to
be covered with skin. This covering
proved also a wonderful step. The fore
head skin, with bowl at the end. and.
with the shank cohering to the fore
head. the piece was turned around down
over the new nose structure.-Baltimor
