COMMITTEE IN SESSION TODAY
Plans Which Have Been Sanctioned by
State Board of Control Now Ready
For the Consideration of Members of
the County Board Of Supervisors.

twenty-five tracts of land were of
fered for sites for the County Tubercu-
losis Sanatorium when the special com
mittee of the county board met at the
court house this morning to consider
the sites. 1t is not expected that any
selection will be made at this time and
the members of the committee arranged
this morning to go " site inspecting"
on Thursday morning.
Four towns in the county have pro-
posed sites and the amount of land Of
fered runs all the way, from ten to
three hundred acres. Pleasant Prairie
leads in the number of sites offered
with fourteen, Somers is second with
six. Salem has four, Bristol two. Even
the property in the neighborhood of the
"Salem Hill' is offered to the commit
tee as possible site.
The committee has announced that 1t
will visit all of the sites, but it is GER
tain that none of the old sores will be
reopened and property in neighbor-
hoods where there has been objections
raised by property owners in the neigh
borhood IS not being given serious con-
sideration. There are a lot Of people
in the county who have been educated
to see that a tuberculosis sanatorium
is in no way undesirable and it is GER
tain that the committee will have no
trouble finding site against which no
objection will be raised.
The committee has inspected some
fifteen sites on the different tours of
investigation and it is expected that a
half dozen other sites will be inspect
ed on the trip on Thursday. The MEM
bers of the committee feel that the
county should get ground enough to
make real park in connection with
the sanatorium and at the same time
leave plenty of room for garden spots
and buildings.
Plans for the proposed sanatorium
approved by the state board of control
are now on file in the office of the
county 81 TX. These plans were made
two years ago and they are considered
nearly ideal for small sanatorium
such as it is proposed to build in Ke-
nosha. The plans provide for large
administration building with less ex-
pensive quarters to be used as dormi-
tories for the patients. This plan Of
construction has met with the support
of leading experts in sanatorium build
ing all over the country and it is prob
able that the form will be adopted for
the Kenosha county inSti ution.
With $4,000 already appropriated,
the committee believes that it will be
possible to secure a site and start the
work of building. It is just possible
that the $4,000 viii not cover the en-
tire cost of site and building, but if a
large site is secured it is thought prob
able chat the members of the board
will be favorable to increasing the ap-
preparation to the amount needed to in
sure the completion of the sanatorium

RURAL LINES HARD HIT.
Many Phones in County Out of Order
as Result of Storm on Tuesday Night.

There were many reports of "trou-
ble' at the Office of the Wisconsin
Telephone Co. this morning on ac-
count Of storm damage to the rural
lines in various parts of the county.
The heavy snow on the wires caused
many broken wires and a big gang of
men went out in the freezing weather
this morning to make an effort to re-
store service to some of the points.
There was little damage to the lines Of
the company in the city and long dis
lance messages to Milwaukee and Chi
cago were not interrupted by the storm.
The railway company found it neces-
sary to keep the snow plows busy dur
ing the night in order to keep the
tracks free from ice and snow, but the
cars were running pretty close to
schedule time this morning. The steam
trains from the north were all delayed
on account of the storm and the service
on the interurban electric lines, while
maintained, was irregular.

GAME WITHOUT ANY WARMING
Agents of Wisconsin Gas and Electric
Co. Claim That Company Will Wei
come Investigation by Commission
Either Here or at Racine Any Time.

A survey of the electric service in
Kenosha in connection with a complaint
from Racine will not be necessary as
it is announced on authoritative sources.
today that the railroad commission en-
gineers have just completed the work
of making such 6 survey in Kenosha
and that they found nothing to war
rant any interference on the part of
the commission into the business of the
Wisconsin Gas and Electric company in
Kenosha so far as the electric lighting
is concerned.
Agents of the commission came to
Kenosha during the early part of No
vember and made the annual survey.
Without the knowledge of the officials
of the company the commission agents
set up testing sets in all parts of the
city. Some of them were set up in pri-
vate houses and others were placed in
down town stores and club rooms and
for ten days the test was conducted.
Later the agents of the commission
worked for four days in the offices of
the company making q survey of the
equipment, and it is asserted that when
they left here they expressed them
selves as satisfied with the conditions
under which electric current is being
supplied in Kenosha. No formal re-
port of this survey has been made pub
lie and it is probable that it will be
made public only in the reports of the
commission issued later.
This was simply the annual survey
OF the electric service of the city"
said one of the officials of the Wiseon-
sin Gas end Electric company this
morning, and so far as we know the
agents of the commission found things
in a satisfactory condition. We have
received no formal communication from
the commission, but / suppose one will
be along in due time showing just what
the cond-5ion is in Kenosha. The Off
Gals of the company have no hesitancy
IN saying that it is willing to have the
city Of Kenosha or the city of Racine
or the two acting in concert 90 to the
commission for an investigation of any
feature Of the business of the company
The books of the company are open to
the commission and the commission
knows just how adequate the service
furnished in the different departments
is. In fact, it is probable that the
commission has kept lot closer tab
ON this matter than the people of Ra-
cine, who have been doing most Of the
kicking. The commission recognizes
the fact that this is small company
and that the earnings have been small
and this fact probably accounts for
the fact that the formal orders of the
commission have not been hurried We
want the people to know that the com
pany is ready and willing to have any
feature of the company's business laid
bare before the commission. -
Several of the memt ers of the coun-
eil seem to take kindly to the sugges-
tion that Racine and Kenosha act in
concert in seeking survey of all
service of the company in the two cit
les and it is probable that the matter
viii be taken up at the next meeting
of the council.

DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
A. Burke, Manager of Fortune Bros.
Brewing Co. Died Tuesday Afternoon.

Alexander Burke, aged fifty years, a
brother of the late Walter Burke of
Kenosha, and manager of the Fortune
Brothers Brewing Company in Chicago,
died very suddenly at his home on
North Robey street in Chicago, Tues
day afternoon. Mr.. Burke had been
sitting in chair at his home talking
with members of his family when he
fell over in the chair and before phvsi-
clans reached the house he had passed
away. 1t is thought that death re-
suited from an acute attack of heart
disease. Mr.. Burke was widely
known in Kenosha. He had made
many business and social visits to the
city and was general favorite among
the men who knew him. The funeral
services will be held from Annuncia-
ton church in Chicago at ten o'clock
Friday morning and it is expected
that large number of Kenosha people
will go to Chicago to attend the
sercices.

There is considerable speculation all
over the state as to what recommends
tions Governor Philip viii make to
the legislature in his first message, but
no hint as to the probable contents
of that document hes been allowed to
leak out. One thing that the people
who listened to his speeches and read
his campaign statements are sure of.
however, is that his views on all sub
jeets will be expressed clearly and
forcibly and that there will be no
hedging ON any question in which the
people of the state are interested.
