JAN|TOR SYDNEY WIELDcA MOP
Unemployed Men Refuse to Leave the
City Hall After They Are Informed
That There is no Work in sight-Ice
Company is Slow Taking the Men.

The novelty Of having a public en-
ployment bureau right in the city hall
is beginning to wear off and the Of
fcials of the city are being bombarded
with complaints. Not because the peo-
pie Of Kenosha are not in favor of Sc
curing work for the unemployed, but
Oh account of what is held to be the
useless destruction Of property and the
demands that are being made on the
janitor of the city hall to keep the
place anything like in good condition.
Janitor Sydney scrubbed out the main
corridor of the city hall three times
before ten O'Clock this morning and
then with a good deal of vigor he an
nounced that he was through until the
men had gone to the ice fields.
This morning there were no less than
two hundred of the unemployed at the
city hall looking for work and no or
der to send the men to the lakes ar
rived. Sixty men went out to the
lakes on. Monday afternoon and every
one of the sixty paid his own railway
expenses. While the Consumers Com
pany had asked for but fifty men all
of the men who went out managed to
get work this morning and they sent
back word that at a lot of the lakes
the ice companies were looking for
men. The heavy snow which started
IN early this morning put crimp in
the plans of the ice companies to cut
the ice and now it will probably be a
couple of days before the snow can be
taken from the ice and the men put to
work storing the cakes away in the
houses. In the meantime the city hall
is the scene of near rioting among the
men who want to get to work.
On Monday afternoon there was
such jam in the mayors office that
the highly ornamental railing which
was supposed to guard the sanctum
sanctorum Of the head executive of
city collapsed under the strain. Car.
penters were brought in to repair the
damage this morning. Janitor Sydney
refused to be eomfofted with the
statement that it was probable that
the use of the city hall as an employ
ment bureau would not continue more
than the present week The men in
charge of the employment bureau were
hopeful that there would be new call
for men this afternoon. In the mean
time lot of the men who have
registered for work on the ice have
taken matters into their own hands
and they went to the lakes in large
numbers this morning taking the
chances of getting work. "A lot of the
men walked the twenty miles to the
lakes through the snow

Treasurer and Clerks Busy
Getting Out Tax State
ments For KenosILa.
FEW PAYING TAXES THIS week

When the bills of New Years day ar
rive next year there is going to be
mysterious stranger" among them
as City Treasurer Steinmetz and
force of three clerks are busy getting
out the annual tax bills and it is
thought that most of them will be
mailed so as to come as a New Years
greeting. The "bills' are duplicate
receipts for taxes and some of the
people who receive them will probably
make the mistake of thinking that
some good kind soul has gone to the
treasurer and paid the annual taxes
for them. There will, however, be a
rude awakening as on examination
the property owner will see stamped
over the face of the bill this message.
"Please bring this bill with YOU when
you come to pay your taxes" These
bills show the valuation of property.
its description on the tax rolls and the
amount of the tax. At the bottom of
the bill will be found the amount of
the income tax and the amount of the
personal property tax. No mistakes
in killing can be made as the bills are
| all compared with the tax roll before
| they are sent out and the duplicate
held by the treasurer is carbon copy.
ct the bill sent to the property owner
1t is expected that the sending out Of
the bills will greatly facilitate the
collection of the taxes in 1915.
The books have been in possession of
the city treasurer for more THAI
week and there hiss been considerable
taxes collected. There has been the
usual number of patriotic citizens who
believe that the city needs the money
now and they have hurried to pay the
taxes even before the treasurer was
| ready with his tax bills. Several
thousand dollars have been paid into
the treasury by these early tax pay
ers, but there has been no grand rush
and it is probable that the majority
of the tax payers will hold on to their
money just as long as they can this
| year. Under the provisions Of the law
the taxes must be paid on or before
the last Monday in January of 1915
and after that date the treasurer has
right 70 add two per cent to the
amount charged against each delin-
ouent. The two per cent penalty has
not been exaeted in Kenosha during
the month of February in the past, but
il win require specific action on the
part Of the common council to waive
the charging of this penalty.
The taxes this year show no reduc-
/ ton from the amount collected in 1914
ard in many cases there is a slight in
crease on account of changes in valua-
tior of the property. On account Of
the lack of city work during the year
many people had expected reduced
taxes and these people will Rave a r(Al
