Kenosha Contractor Has
Low Bid on Lake Shore
and So. Park Ave. Roads.
MILWAUKEE GETS BRIDGE WORK
(From Tuesdays Daily

Sharp bidding marked the letting of
contracts for the concrete work on the
South Park avenue and Lake Shore
roads when the bids for this work were
opened by County Highway Commits
sioner John Herzog on Monday after
noon and it is probable that the con-
tract for both jobs will be let to George
R. Wade of Kenosha. Wade failed to
put in bid for the installation of tile
on the Lake Shore road to the north
of the city and as this is a considerable
item in the contract the state commits
sion when the bids are presented to it
may decide to reject all bids and order
a new letting.
On the Park avenue road Wade was
less than $50 lower than M. McCugo of
Waukegan. On this road $685. is to
be expended, all the work being con
crete. Wade's bid was excavation Coo,
concrete per so. I'd. S5c, and SO for
the one culvert on the road. The bid
of the Waukegan man was excavation
Ale, concrete 90c and 81 for the culvert.
Wade had charge of the construction
Of the portion of the road now com
pleted and he will undoubtedly get the
contract for the completion Of the
work.
On the Lake Shore road $12,947 is to
be expended. The bids for this road
were: George r.. Wade. excavation SOC,
concrete re, cglverts, $40. NJ. McCugo,
excavation zoe, concrete 7se, and cul-
verts S6.75. The Delta Construction
company Of Escanaba, Mich, bid on
both jobs, hrt the bid was considerable
higher than the bids from contractors
in the district.
The lowest bid for the construction
of the bridge over Pike river on the
Lake Shore road was that of the North
western Bridge & Iron Company, the
figure being $2,0S5. TITS is within $50
Eof the estimate Of the cost of the work
as made by the state department. 1t
| is probable that the contract will be
let to the Milwaukee company.
The bids for the Bassett bridge were
not entirely satisfactory to the commits
sioner. DeBell Bros. of Salem had the
low bid but the price named was con
siderable over the estimated cost.
siderable below the estimated cost.
/ Fred w. Priddis Of Kenosha had low
bid for the bridges on the Paris road
his bid being s440. All of the proposals
will be forwarded to the state commits
sion for examination and the formal
contracts viii BE- let after the state com
mission has given it's sanction.

IS SCHOOLS REPRESENTED
County supt. Kerwin Praises staff Of
Teachers and Expresses Hope That
New Board Of Education Is Begin
ming of Better Era for Rural Schools.
From Tuesdays Daily

People from nearly every school dis
trlct In Kenosha county went to the
Old Settlers grounds at Paddocks Lake
today to attend the annual graduation
exercises of the schools of Kenosha
county and with perfect weather, the
commencement was the biggest gath
ering of school children, their parents
and friends ever held in the county.
It was estimated that fully six hundred
people thronged the pavilion during
the presentation of the program. The
exercises marked the close of the most
successful year in the history Of the
schools in the rural districts of the
county and it was in the nature of
great school meeting Of the directors
and parents. The program started at
eleven O'Clock this morning and with
an intermission at the noon hour 1t
continued until late this afternoon.
Seventy eight Of the eighty schools in
the county were represented by stu
dents on the program and diplomas
were presented to one hundred and
eight girls and boys who had complet
ed the work of the schools.
1t was notable fact that but two
of the schools in the entire county had
no graduates for the year and the class
was the largest ever receiving diplomas.
In presenting the diplomas County
superintendent John J. Kerwin made
short address in which he congrat-
ulated the people Of the county on
the excellent work done by the teach
ers in the district schools. He spoke
especially of the need of better facili-
ties for the education Of the children
of the rural districts and urged that
parents take an active interest in the
work being done by the various dis
triets. He spoke Of the work of the
new county board Of education and
expressed the hope that this centrali-
cation OF the school government in a
board which would specialize in school
matters would mean great deal in the
advancement Of the interests of the
little red school houses" of Keno
sha county.
The program for the day was made
up of musical and literary selections
given by the graduates of the various
schools and while an unusually large
number Of the students appeared on
the program arrangements for the day
were so perfect that there was moth
ing tiresome in connection with the
long program.
During the noon hour a basket din
ner was served and there were happy
reunions of the students and former
students of the various districts and
plans were talked over for the coming
year. Members Of the county board
.of education showed their interest in
the schools Of the county by attending
the commencement in body. Du1ing
the day the members of the board got
in touch with many of the district
school officials and many plans to make
the schools more efficient and of great
Ter value to the people Of the rliral
districts were suggested.

SETTLE ESTATE OF PRIEST.
Personal Property of Late Bernard Els
kamp to Go to Catholic Institutions.

In the county court this morning
Judge Taylor handed down a formal
order allowing the final account of the
Rev. Henry Kampschroer as executor
of the will Of the late Rev. Bernard
Elskamp, former pastor of st. George
church. The inventory of the estate
showed that it was valued at close to
$4,000 Under the terms Of the will
the entire estate was left to Father
Kampschroer. Some time before his
death Father Elskamp arranged with
Father Kampschroer to have charge
of the distribution Of the estate and
left directions that it be divided
among several of the Catholic institu-
lions of the Milwaukee. diocese. The
executor of the estate will make pro
vision for the carrying out of all the
suggestions of the deceased priest
within the next few weeks.

City Attorney Slater has received q
notice from the state railroad commits
sion that the commission will take up
the demand Of the city for better pro-
lection of the grade crossings of the
electric line within the city limits at

towards the city officials following shs
manning of the little Extra girl as oae
of the crossings where safeguards. are
demanded and that tlay wop54 prefer
to come to some agreem a7ss with the
city in regard TO the proSeefies az tbs

Iferred to the state eoEslission, but tbs
city officials viii GO on with the hes69
ing. Gentlemen s agreements; IN
less backed up by the Law, aave not
proved very effective in Kenesha arc
the city officials believe that the tine
has come to have the rights OF the city
to demand safeguards at the grade
crossings deainitely settled. In way
an agreement between the city and the
railway would be of no advantage to
the latter for it is certain that in>tbe
present state Of public opinion the city
would be satisfied to accept nothing
less than the commission is almost GER
ktain to order.

Wegner to Tend Bathers.
The council spent nearly half an
hour poking fun at the bathing beach
and all sorts Of suggestions were
made. Some of the aldermen demand
ed that the beach be closed up for
the entire year. Alderman Shearer
wanted a searchlight to aid in keep
ing order at the beach and Alderman
Rowe suggested that pollution Of the
lake water made the opening of the
beach a menace. Finally it was voted
to refer the matter of opening the
beach to the public grounds committee
with power to act. Mat Wegner was
named as keeper of the bath house for
the season at salary of $50 a month.
The committee on fire department.
reported that the plans for the build
ing of the Grand avenue engine house
had been held up on account of efforts
to sell the house on Dayton street, but
these plans had fallen through and the
committee will make report to the
council at the next meeting providing
for the building of the new west
side house.
On the report of the committee on
streets and alleys the council voted to
curb the little park about the north
side engine house using sandstone
curb and the street assessment com
mittee will advertise for bids for this
work at once.
A. Anderson, Waukegan house
mover, brought a real discussion to the
council when he asked for permit TO
move house from Chicago street to
Grand avenue. The council finally re-
ferred the matter to the committee on
bonds with the understanding that the
permit would be given on the fling
of a proper bond and with the under
standing that the work was to be cor
tinued both night and day. This plas.
is to be followed in granting all fut-
ure permits to house movers.
The council by unanimous vote
passed a resolution accepting the
bridge built by the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric Company on Ashland avenue.
