Kenosha knights of Pythias
Begin Notable Changes in
Brister Building Quarters
MAKE NEW CLUB H0MELIKE

The members of Red Cross Lodge Of
the knights of Pythias have abandon
ed for the present the plan of building

for the decorations promises to make
the rooms most inviting The front
portion of the building will be used for
a club room Partitions will be taken

building turned into club room.

club room there will be sanitary toilet
rooms and dressing rooms for the use
of both men and women. The plumb
ing in the club rooms will be of the

The furnishings for the new club rooms

OF the very latest pattern.

Man Long Prominent in the
Town of Bristol Died at
His Home on Monday.
LONG A RESIDENT OF COUNTY

Erastus S. Castle, aged seventy eight
years, one of the most prominent of the
pioneers Of Kenosha county, died at
the family residence in the town of
Bristol on Monday afternoon after a
long illness from complication
diseases. Mr.. Castle had been in fail
ing health for many months and his
death was not unexpected among his
friends and relatives.
Mr.. Castle was widely known among
the farmers of the county and he had
been active in the development Of the
towns Of Bristol and Paris during his
residence of more than sixty years in
the county.
He was born in Delaware county,
New York, ARiI a, 1886. He was a
son of Booth Castle, one of the pioneers
of the town of Brighton and he came
to this county with his parents in the
late forties. MIR. Castle was educated
in the common schools of the county
and supplemented this with course
at Salem Academy. After leaving
school he turned his attention to farm
ing and stock raising as life work
He was married to Betsy o. Holbrook
on December "a, 1863. A year later
Mr.. and Mrs. Castle took up their home
on the farm in the town of Bristol
where they lived until 1872 when they
removed to Racine. Mr.. Castle was in

BRISTOL ALONE IS IMMUNE
Delinquent Tax List Made Public BY
Treasurer Today Is the Longest Ever
known in History of the County
Tax Title Sharks to Reap a Harvest.

The protest of the people Of Kenosha
city and county against the record tax
levy made this year has been shown
more clearly than in resolutions or pro-
test meeting today when County
Treasurer Philip Harman made public
his list of unpaid taxes. Title to pieces
of property against which these taxes
were assessed will be sold at the annual
sale of tax titles in May.
In former years there were few de-
linquent taxes returned from the
towns Of the county and for the most
part these taxes were returned against
vacant lots on the outskirts of the city
but this year every town in the county
with the exception of the town of Bris-
toll has returned property to be sold
for the taxes and the lists from the
towns are long lists. In some cases the
amounts are considerable. Old time
farm property in the towns of the
county where taxes have always been
paid in the past is returned for the tax
sale this year and it is declared that
this is due almost entirely to the big
increase in taxes due to the increase
in the state taxes and the levy Of the
heavy tax for highway purposes.
The towns Of Somers and Pleasant
Prairie have an unusually large num-
her Of aelinaaents this wear, More
than minded lots in tho neW saoufbs
on the limits Of the city are returned
for tax SAL. The unpaid take, in the
towns of the county will amount to
more than $4,000 and this is regarded
as new record for unpaid taxes in
Kenosha county towns.
In the city the delinquent lis is
longer than ever known in the history
of the city and fully three hundred
pieces Of property are to be sold for
taxes. Not single ward of the city
escape dthe Delinquent list and for the
most part the amounts Of the tax are
considerable. The largest delinquent
tax is in the FIRST ward where enc piece
of property IS to be sold to collect a
tax OF 1854
The sale Of the titles will undoubted-
ly be gala day for the dealers in tax
titles and SO long 5 the list that it is
certain that men who traffic in the
misfortunes of others are certain to
throng the city to get the pick of the
large number of titles to : sold.
There are no very small amounts on
the tax list this year and the smallest
amount is in excess of a dollar.
1t is noticeable fact that there are
not great number of sales Cor taxes
levied for Improvements this year and
most of the delinquents are OF account
of the -raight property tax.
In pas; years foreigners IN Kenosha
have been very careful of the payment
of their taxes, but this year there is a
large number of foreigners on the de-
linquent lax list 1t is declared Sat
this is due to the fact that so many
people were out of work just before
tax paying time.
1t is expected that lot of the prop
erty owners whose property has been
returned for taxes will pa these
taxes before the day of the sale, but
even with these payments the sale is
certain to be record one.

Fred Hansen, Claiming South MilWau-
kee as His Home, Arrested Tuesday.

Fred Hansen, a man whose clothes
proclaimed him TO be opulent and

just one cent, dispelled the illusion,
was arrested late Tuesday afternoon
by Police Officer Breidt on charges Of
peddling without license. Hansen
claimed to live in South Milwaukee
and he had supply of lodge rings
and pocket knives which he was Of
fering at decidedly low prices. He de-
clared that he was able to give the
best of references, but the police of
ficer took him to the city lookup. This
morning he was arraigned before
Judge Taylor in the municipal court
and fine of So and the costs was as
sessed against him. Hansen is hopeful
that the fine will be paid during the
day. His supply of jewelry, according
to the officers, would not raise more
than enough to pay the fine. b

COST OF SCHOOLS IS LARGE
Report Given to New Members of the
Board of Education Shows Expendi-
lures of over S136,ooo in Last Nine
Months-Big Sum for Repairs.

The financial statement of the cost
of the schools of the city for the
period from July 1st, 1913 to April lst,
1914, has been filed with the city clerk
and the board of education and this
statement shows that the actual expen-
ditures of the schools for the nine
months was $136154.09. The report
shows that the school fund has a bal
ance of $72,004.74. This sum will be
held to meet all expenses of the schools
from now until the next tax levy is
made and it appears certain that there
viii be a deficit in the school fund at
the end of the year. During the nine
months the board of education receiv-
ed from the city total of $l40,524.40
and it had receipts from other sources
of little over $4,000, this being
mostly made up of receipts from the
state for the various branches of school
work
The report shows that the e1pendi-
ture for teachers salaries turing the
period was $6Q,4S7.96 and the next
largest account on the debit side of
the ledger was an item of 328,63073
for alterations made at the Balm and
Frank schools and at the high school
building This statement viii be Of
especial interest to the members of the
new board Of education as it shows
this board just what money it will have
to spend during the coming months Of
this year. 1t is pretty certain that the
increased expenditures of the schools
anC the certainty OF deficit before
tax paying time will make it sary
for the board to demand an increase
iii the budget to be submitted to the
common council at the ffst meetil in
October. The amount raised in the
last tax levy was only little over
100000, but it is pretty certain that
the board will be forced to demand
not less than $4,000 for next year.
The financial Statement follows:
