THE PEOPLE
ON THE ROAD QUESTION.

I would like to say few words on
the road question. The highway com.
mission has built some cement roads

ing them cost four or FIVE hundred dol
lars a mile per year This is for
fourteen foot road Mr. Hirst stated
that each foot in width will cost one
thousand dollars per mile. Whyf In
his figures a fifteen foot road would
cost fifteen thousand dellars. He also
states a fourteen foot road is wide
enough that an auto can keep close
enough to the curb line to let his mud

want, not being afraid to bump noses
with the horse, but the horse won Z
rub noses with the auto if he can help
himself Mr.. Hirst says that all money
appropriated to roads are expended on
roads, giving the impression that the
highway commission was working for
nothing. Mentioned 100000 a year.
The people of Pleasant Prairie feel
that they can build their own roads
cheaper than the state can They are
rot satisfied with the expensive roads
built by the state highway commissions
and when spoiled, left to the towns to
take care of. A hearing before the
highway commission seems to be
joke. The town of Pleasant Prairie
appropriates about thirty per cent fc
the state roads funds and eight pei
cent for town funds. We believe We
can build our own roads for about
three thousand dollars mile.

PETITIONS GOING OUT FAST
Many Candidates for Ward ofices Are
Getting Into the Field Now and Big
Rush Is Certain Before the End of
the Month Signatures Needed.

Matt p. Kleist, better known to Ke-
nosha people as Capt. Kleist on ac-
count of his connection with the fam
Gus Park City baseball team, on Thurs
day took out petitions as candidate
for assessor of the city under the new
ordinance recently passed by the COM
mon council and he is the first candi-
date to enter the field The duties Of
the Office of assessor are not new to
< leist as he served the city in shis
capacity for term of four wears.
Three years ago he removed to Lyons,
Wis, and was forced to give up his
office, but he came back to Kenosha
year ago and has established his resi-
dence here. AS an assessor Kleist was
popular with the people and with the
officials and it is certain that he will
make a. strong candidate. AS yet no
other petitions have gone out for can
didates for assessor, but it is pretty
certain that there will be large num-
Der of candidates for this Office.
City Clerk Harrington was kept busy
filing out primary petitions on Thurs
day. He managed to get a number of
his own petitions in circulation. Pc
tltions were also started going by City
Treasurer Martin Steinmetz Candi-
dates for ward Offices began to get
busy and large number of petitions
were given out. Members of the social
democratic party got big bunch of
petitions and regardless Of the work
ings of the non-partisan law the social
democrats plan to have candidates in
nearly all of the wards and it is GER
tain that they will have candidate
for mayor and for the various city Of
fees. Up to noon today no petitions
had been taken for any candidate for
mayor, but it is expected that before
the end of the week these papers will
be moving. Under the rEw non parti-
san law it is an easy matter to be
candidate as the number of signatures
required is not nearly as large as un-
der the old primary law The candi-
dates need but two per cent of the

Kenosha Improvement Co.
Decides to Sell Off All Its
Holdings at Once.
SEEK FACTORY FOR kENosHA

Members Of the Kenosha Land and
Improvement Company held their first
annual meeting in years at the offices
Of Attorney Henry j. Hastings on
Thursday evening and plans were
made for a regeneration of the boom
for land in " Feathertowno The
members of the association voted
unanimously to put all of the property
on the market at once. The property
consists of a large factory site and
eight building lots. The factory site
is ideally located and it is thought that
the officials of the association will be
able to dispose of it to some company
which is seeking location. If the
site can not be sold for factory pur-
poses it will be subdivided into lots.
There is land enough to make twenty
FIVE lots. The recent building up of
Ropeville and the territory surrounding
i has brought big increase in the
value of the property owned by the i'm
provement company and it is thought
that there will be a ready sale for the
lots as soon as they are put on the
market. The members of the asso-
citation would of course prefer to sell
the large factory site to some indus
trial company but it will not be held
for any extended time.
Aside from the discussion of the
business matters of the organization
the meeting was interesting from a
social standpoint. Many of the mem
bers were present and they spent an
hour discussing interesting reminis-
censes of the stirring events which had
centered about the land owned by the
company.
In order to continue the organiza-
tion pending the sale Of the lots new
officers were elected as follows:
President-Peter Jacobs.
Secretary Henry J. Hastings.
treasurer oseph Bendt.

Board Of Health Planning
for Crusade for Cleaner
Conditions in the City.
CUSpIDORS FOR STREET CARS

The Kenosha board of health is to
start a crusade against viclators of
Kenosha S anti-spitting ordinance and
one of the city laws which has long
been made dead letter is going to be
intelligently enforced with view of
making better sanitary provisions for
the city More than seven years ago
the Kenosha common council passed an
anti-spitting ordinance. 1t provided a
fine for splitting on the sidewalks, in
public places of amusement and in
street cars and other common carriers.
Il has not up to this time been en-
forced, but the health board is deter
mined to see to it that at least some
portions of the ordinance are enforced.
1t is not probable that every man who
dares to expectorate on the sidewalk
will spend week in Jail, but the men
who have made nuisances of them
selves by splitting on the floors of
street cars and in places of public as
semblage will be forced to stop
splitting
Great placards are being prepared
by the health department. AID these
will be posted prominently about the
city. These placards poo iaim that
splitting on the floor or sidewalk is not
only nuisance, but that it is also
dangerous to the health Of the com
munity and that it is one OF the best
possible ways Of carrying contagious
diseases from one part of the city to
the other Since the enactment of the
Kenosha ordinance state laws have
been passed which will aid materially
in the enforcement of the ordinance.
These laws provide that cuspidors
must be placed in street cars, steam
cars, factories and theatres and in all
places of public or semi public nat
ure. The health department has al
ready called the attention of the own
ers and managers Of such places to the
provisions of the state law and they
have agreed to aid in the general fight
to secure a cleaner city. Nearly all
of the factories in the city have some
time ago installed proper aids to sani-
tation and work men in all of these
places have learned that they can not
spit on the floor and hold their jobs.
eve are hopeful that we will have
tie active cooperation of the people
of the city in the intelligent enforce
ment Of this ordinance and the state
laws in regard to spitting,'' said one
of the members of the health board
today 1t appears to use that much
can be done to secure better sanitary
conditions by the enforcement of this
ordinance, but it can not be enforced
without cooperation from the people
of the city A healthy public senti-
ment against splitting in public places
and on the sidewalk will go long
way towards bringing a strict en-
forcement of the law Cities all over
Wisconsin are enforcing these laws
and there is no reason for Kenosha to
lag behind in this movement for more
sanitary conditions

at Wales has been so great that it has
been impossible for the institution to
