Three Essential Features to
Mark Legislation in Wis
consin Next Year.
MUST CUT DOWN THE TAX BILLS

Three essential features will mark the
legislation to be enacted in Wisconsin
this year:
Taxes will be lowered by the repeal
of many standing appropriations for
new buildings and extensive road work
and by the curtailment of the admins
trative expenses Of the state.
Constitutional government will be
brought nearer to the people by the
repeal Of some commissions and the re-
posing of this power in the hands of
the regularly elected state officials.
Legislation will be enacted to en-
courage business development and the
entrance of new enterprises into the
state without the rigid laws of in
spection.
This in brief is the program mapped
out by Gov.-elect Emanuel L. Philip
Of Milwaukee in his platform at the
gymnasium convention in June and in
his public addresses. A canvass of the
Legislature indicates that he probably
has majority of the assembly and a
possible majority of the senate for car
rying out his reforms.
The state taxes the past year were
nearly three times what they have been
before. The investigation shows that
this was occasioned by large state APP
preparations for road building and for
other permanent Improvements at state
institutions. The present indications
are that the amount that the state will
contribute each year for road work, in
dependent of what the county and To-
caIity raises, viii be $685. 600 The law
appropriating a quarter of a million
Ct dollars for dormitories and Com
mons at the university viii be repeal
ed and many of the other administra-
tive expenses of government will be re-

and the path of the ordinance will
probably be a stormy one. The com
mittee on judiciary reported favorably
on the annexation Of Homework
and the ordinance for the annexation
was given its first reading. 1t must be
published and action may not be taken
on it until after thirty days
The bills for street work showed
that the employment Of extre men had
been nearly done away with and the to-
tai bills showed a reduction Of more
than $4,000 from the amount which had
been allowed at the last egular meet
ing of the council.
The aldarme. went on record as IA
voring the plan of employing Kenosha
men on the ice fields and made an APP
preparation Of $25 to pay the expenses
Of the municipal employment bureau
in the city hall.

WORK TO Be Started IN MARCH
Plan Drawn by Kenosha Architect Pro
vides for One of the Most Complete
Club Houses to be Found III This
Section of the State.

The building committee of the Keno
sha Aerie Of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, which had been given power to
act in the selection of plans for the new
club house to be erected at the foot of
Wisconsin street, at a meeting on Mon
day night accepted the plans and speci-
fcations prepared by Architect Joseph
Lindl and work on the new building
will be started in the early spring. 1t
is expected that the contracts for the
new club house will be let about the
first Of March with the understanding
that it is to be completed by the lat
ter part Of September
The club house will cost in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000, is to be the most
handsome home ever planned for a fra
ternal organization in Kenosha The
building will be fifty by hundred
feet, two stories and q basement. 1t
will be built Of vitrifed brick with a
trim Of Bedford stone and the entrance
i to be an ornamental Bedford stone
"ntrancc. It will have a sixteen fJot
porch four hundred feet in length and
a covered balcony extending along the
entire east front of the building The
building will be as near freproof as it
is possible to construct it.
Featured in the plans is the fact that
the second floor of the building will be
made up Of one single hall which will
have more dancing space than any hall
in Kenosha at this time. The hall viii
be so constructed as to make it possible
to rent it for parties and dances with
out in any way interfering with the
club activities of the Eagles.
The plans of Architect Lindl are I'M
usually complete from the basement to
the hall. In the basement there will
be a modern heating plant to furnish
heat and hot water for all portions of
the building. There will be four bowl
ing alleys, a club room, locker rooms
and toilet rooms. Sanitary plumbing is
provided for all three floors of the
building. On the ground floor Of the
building there viii be several club
rooms, ladies parlor, library, locker
rooms, an Office for the secretary, the
buffet and serving rooms. In addition
there viii be commodious kitchen
and store rooms
The entire upper floor viii be given
over to the lodge and dance halls. The
trimming for the entire huiJ9inor will
be oak and the specifications provide
for finishes Of the most modern sort.
The new building viii be a most at
traetive one from the exterior and it
promises to be a great Improvement for
the Kenosha water front.
The members of the committe at
work on the plan Of financing the new
club house have met with great sue

MEETING ENDS IN RECORD TINE
Mayor and Aldermen Spend Lot Of
the Time Wishing Merry Christmases
and Happy New Years and Hatchet
of Discord is Buried.

The Christmas spirit of peace on
Earth, Cool Will to Men, penetrated
to the inner sanctum of the city hall
on Monday evening. 1t slipped up the
marble stairway, got past the police Of
fee without being pinched, hurdled the
danger OF vaccination and quarantine
at the offices of the health department
and entered the sanctum sanctorum of
the council chamber and this spirit so
dispelled the discordant passions Of the
mayor and the aldermen that the lamb
and the lion lay down together and the
lamb got away with it-once. In fact,
the Christmas spirit was so much in
evidence that the passing of the Christ
mas compliment, the wishing of the
Happy New Year and of course, the
retort courteous, was the principal
feature of the regular meeting of the
council
There was nothing doing along the
lines of wrangling and the meeting
was lot tanner than a Sunday school
picnic. The last motion had been made
and the council had adjourned before
the clock struck nine.
There was not a great deal of bust
ness transacted. In fact, there was lit
tie of interest before the council. The
members seemed to appreciate this fact
and with Christmas spirit all about
them they decided that it was a good
time to bury the Ratchet The eulogy
on the aforesaid Ratchet was pro-
nounced by the mayor who in an adj
dress which ought to have made every
eye bedimmed with tears brought his
Christmas message-and calendar for
each of the aldermen. Even Alderman
Kisten sheathed his knife for the time
being and when the mayor proclaimed
that by-gones were to be by-gones and
that the members of the council would
forgive and forget there was audible
applause. Alderman Conrad Shearer
made the response for the members of
the council, admitting the beauty of
the calendars of the mayor and the ex-
cellency of the cigars which he was
about to purchase.
The routine business came mp and it
was disposed of with dispatch seldom
seen on she floor of the council. There
was absolutely nothing that could pro-
woke an argument. The possibility of
discord was seen when an ordinance
changing the name of Ashland avenue
to Sheridan road was proposed, but
this was laid over. as the ordinance will
not come up for final action till the
next meeting of the council While
all of the members of the council vot-
ed in favor Of the change of the name
at the last meeting Of the council it
seems that objections have Aaan made
