The council made virtue Of neces.
slty when it rescinded the order of the
street assessment committee to the pub
nc service corporations to place con
dults for all wires on West Park and
Division streets before these streets
are paved. 1t appeared from an opin-
ion OF the city attorney drawn after
careful investigation that repeated
decisions of the state railroad com
mission show that the underground or
dlnance so far as it relates to streets
IN the outlying districts of the city
where the public service corporations
involved have few customers would un-
doubleday be held to be unreasonable
by the commission when an appeal from
the order of the council was taken bv
the companies to the state commission,
There is no use in the city carving
the matter any further when the de-
cislon is certain to be against it as the
record shows that it will be.

URGES VACCINATION.
School Officials Urge Parents to Have
Children Made Immune to Smal]nox

School Officials Urge Parents to Have
Children Made Immune to Smallpox.
In support of the effort being made
by the health department to have all
school children vaccinated, the super
intendent Of schools calls the attention
OF parents to the following statement
made by the State Board of Health:
s Vaccination not only lightens small
pox, IT one happens to take it, but when
successfully done, and not too remotely,
insures almost absolute protection from
taking the disease. .
This fact seems to be better under
stood by our foreign citizens than by
some of our Americans of longer resi-
dence. To the direction of the Health
commissioner in regard to the neces-
sary vaccination of all children in GER.
tain localities, the foreigners have
yielded ready compliance. IT is prob
able that they know the disastrous con
sequences coming from failure to Sc
cure protection through vaccination !:
but anyone should need no further cor
roboration of the statement above than
thls-that every case of small box in
Kenosha last year and this has been
that OF person either without or with
very remote vaccination.

TEN SECONDS TO RESPOND
State Commission Holds that Service Is
Not Adequate if Person Using Phone
Is Forced 20 Wait a Longer Time for
Connections-Must Publish Rates

Kenosha telephone users will be in
terested in the question are your tele.
phone calls answered in ten seconds or
lesse IF they are, then you are getting
reasonably prompt service. IF you are
not, then register your kick.
This is the advice given telephone
subscribers by the Wisconsin railroad
commission in tentative rules for the
betterment of telephone service which
will be discussed before the commiss-
ion at Madison on Feb. 10.
In these rules, the commission says
that telephone companies should en-
courage subscribers to make com
plants by designating some one official
to whom the complaints should be reg
iStered.
The commission says that in all ex-
changes of 500 subscribers the service
should not be considered adequate If
the tests do not show that at least "a
per cent of the calls are not responded
to within ten seconds Of the summons
of the subscriber. The more import
ant rules follow:
THAT all lines of the company
shall be so constructed and equipped
as to eliminate as far as possible all
cross talk and Objectionable noises on
the line
That on all new construction no
more than ten subscribers shall be con
nected to any one line having length
of ten miles or less.
3.-That every telephone line be-
tween two or more towns shall main
tain at least one line for through traf-
fc and that more lines shall be segre-
gated for such through traffic if the
business demands such lines, the num-
Der to be sufficient to at all times care
for the through traffic business.
