A big delegation Of school principals
and school janitors in charge of the
different school buildings in Kenosha,
went to school in Racine on Tuesday
evening. They went to the Belle City

ton conducted by Prof. Roberts of the

for the school rooms were also offered
When the Kenosha janitors all get
their diplomas from the school it is ex-

See NEEDOF MORE PROTECTION
Racine With More Modern Equipment
Has Loss of But $4,000 in the Same
Period Larger Losses Reported from
Other Cities in the State.

The demand of Kenosha for more
pressure for its fire protection system
is emphasized in the report Of the Wis
cOnsln state fire marshal for the eleven
months of this year, which shows that
In this time Kenosha had fire loss of
over 100000 while many Of the larger
cities of the state had a much smaller
loss. Of course the fire loss of any
period is matter a good deal governed
by luck. One Loss in Kenosha during
the year, the burning Of the malt house
elevators, put a loss of more than
$4,000 on the list for Kenosha. Few
cities in the state had such a SINGLE
fire loss. Outside the loss at the malt
house fire the losses for the eleven
months in Kenosha were for the most
part small. Men who have been in
close touch with the question of fire
protection believe that this loss could
have been considerably reduced if the
city had more water pressure.
The lowest fire loss in any of the
larger cities of the state is reported
from Racine where the loss in the
eleven months was only little over
$4,000. This was because Racine was
luckily and not a single big fire was
reported from the city in the year.
The officials of Racine insist that the
cutting of the fire loss was due mostly
to all efficient fire department connect
ed with tho use Ut ttslost modern
motor fire equipment. Kenosha is the
only city in Wisconsin at this time
to have a complete motor equipment
for its fire department and it is GER
tain that without this equipment the
loss from fire would have been consid-
erably larger this year
The Racine department. has featured
the cause of Che Observation-Disclosures
automobile pump and suggestions have
been repeatedly made to members of
the Kenosha council that such pump
should be installed in the Kenosha de-
partment.
The losses from fire in the Wisconsin
cities during the eleven months were
decidedly large. In Superior the re-
port showed losses in excess of $780,
600; Lacrosse, has loss of more than
$300,000. Both of these cities are now
considering the installation of motor
apparatus in an effort to cut the annual
bill of the fire fend.
Chief of the fire department, Henry
lsermann, is now busy on his annual
report which will be sent to the council
at its next regular meeting and in this
report he viii strongly urge some plan
which will give more fire pressure.
The detailed list of fires in Kenosha
is long one for the year, but the
losses have not been heavy with the
exception of the one big loss at the
malt house. The report of the chief
will show that nearly every one Of the
fire losses in Kenosha during the year
was covered by insurance

License Fees Received From
Wisconsin Gas & Electric
Co. Amount to $14,34O.44
PLAN BRIHGss 81 0QC3 Boost

The city of Kenosha has real money
in the bank again and it isn't bor-
rowed money at that. To be exact the
city has something like $4,000 to it's
credit as the city treasurer has receiv-
ed from the state treasurer the portion
of the taxes of the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric Company property apportion-
ed to the city of Kenosha. The amount
is $14, 340.44 and this is the total per-
sonal property and license tax that the
Wisconsin Gas and Electric Company
vii pay as a part of the 1915 tax roll.
The amount is. more than a thousand
dollars more than the total payments
made by the company this year. This
year the state has taken over the taxing
of utilities and all taxes are collected
In the form of state license and APP
portioned among the different communi-
ties in proportion to the business of
the company. The state collected from
|. the. Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany as railway license for Kenosha
last year the sum of $4,023.03 and in
addition to this the city later collected
personal taxes from the company to the
amount Of $8,947.80, making the total
tax paid to the city by the company
last year $13,070.83. This shows an in
crease in tho taxes of the company of
ST ,269.61 under state assessment. This
money has been counted on by the
finance committee in making up the es-
Inmates for the coming year and it has
already beer apportioned to the diff
received from the water board the city
should have money enough to pay its
running expenses up to Christmas time.
Only one other state license fee is to
be paid to the city treasurer and that
is. the fee of the Wisconsin Telephone
Company. Last year the Kenosha
Home Telephone Company paid ST.
1920 to Kenosha and it is expected
that the amount paid by the company
this year will be slightly in excess of
this amount. This check should reach
the treasurer later in the month and it
is counted on to help in meeting the
emergency expenses of the city pending
the collection of the tax roll
Thus far the city council has not
been forced to make loans of the
bank, but under the state law they may
make loans equal to one-ffth of the tax
actually levied. The banks are both
holding up orders of the city at the
present time, but with the deposit of
the railway tax all of these orders
will be paid.
With the rush that is being shown in
getting out the tax rolls the city should
have money COMM; in by the last week
in December and if the people show
little municipal patriotism and pay
their taxes early it is just possible that
it win not be necessary for the finance
committee of the council to negotiate
any formal loans further than the one
made by the committee a month ago
when $4,000 was borrowed from the
board of water commissioners.

Attorney Baker Says SUI
preme Court Will Hear the
Koscak Case January Is.
ORURY ENTERS FIRM DENIAL

Attorney Norman L. Baker of Mil
waukee, was in kenoslla today and lie
announced that the supreme court has
set the hearing Of the appeal of the
case of the State Of Wisconsin VS..
George Koscak for January 18th. Kos
FAX was the man sent to prison for q
term of five years after he had been
convicted OF transporting dynamite to
Kenosha for unlawful purposes. With
III few hours after Koscak had been
sentenced to prison the attorneys took
the matter up with Chief Justice Wins
lew Of the supreme court of the state.
They declared that a great injustice
had been done to Koscak. Chief JUS
tice Winslow declared his willingness
tc hear the argument of the case at the
earliest possible date.
District Attorney Drury who had one
of the hardest fights of his career in
the conviction of Koscak, when inform
ed that the case had been set for the
hearing on the 10Th, said: cit may be
that such an order has been made by
the supreme court but do not think
that the case will be argued at that
time. Up to the present no brief in
the case has. been served on me, and I
am advised that the attorney for the
defendant plans to submit to the court
practically all of the evidence introduce
ed at the trial. / am not going to
waive any of the rights of the state in
this case and before the hearing takes
place I shall insist that the briefs de-
manded by the supreme court practice
be served on me and that I shall have
time to answer the briefs and prepare
the argument in the case Under the
ruling of the court the opposing attor-
rey has forty days to respond and I
have made no effort as yet to prepare
the case for the supreme court
Mr.. Baker declared today that he
was hopeful that with the review of
the evidence in the case the supreme
court would direct the discharge of
Koscak without the formality OF order
ing new trial. He admitted that this
would be most unusual proceeding.
District Attorney Drury declined to
discuss the possible action of the court
when the case is submitted declaring
that he believed the submission Of the
writ of error to be matter of the fut-
ure and not the near future at that.
On account of the interest shown in
the case at the time Of the trial in this
county the action of the supreme court
will be watched with a great deal of
interest.
Kosca still in prison at Waupun
and so s lown he has made no
PERSONA enort to secure his release.
No formal demand for his pardon has
been mace by his friends in Kenosha
and no application for parole has been
filed hy the state board of control.
If Koscak is pardoned the matter must
come up before Governor-elect Philip
as it would be impossible to have the
formal notices given so that Governor
McGovern could act in the matter be-
fore the end of his term on the first
