The question Of the Lake avenue
breakwater park was before the coun-
Gil again on Monday night, but no ac-
ton was taken in the matter and re-
vised report is to be sent to the coun-
Gil by the special committee handling
the matter. The recommendation of
the park board in regard to the pur-
chase of the lands proposed was lit
tie Indefinite. The board held that it
would recommend the purchase of the
lands if it was deemed necessary to
build the suggested breakwater in or
der to protect the city's property.
Final action in the matter will be tax
EN- at the next meeting of the council
The council gave up lot of time to
parks on Monday night After consid-
cradle discussion the park property
just north of the city cemetery was
turned over to the school board for use
as playground during the coming sum-
mer with the understanding that the
permit for its use in this manner is to
be extended from time to time until it
IS used for park purpose. The play
ground is to be under the joint manage
ment of the board of education and
the park commission.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1915-06-10

The commission has spent more than
a year in studying the plans for the
park system and the land selected is
counted on to give adequate park ia
cilities for people in all sections of the
city. 1t provides for the purchase of
the beautiful Bonds Woods on the
south limits of the city and several
pieces of land adjoining and for the
purchase of the Tasting, Ludwig and
Balm groves running along the range at
the north limits of the city and extend
ing back almost to the west city linn
it's. For years it has been the dream
of people interested in the development
of parks in the city to secure these
pieces of property for the use of the
public as parks. Each piece of prop
erty selected is particularly suited for
use as park and the natural lay of
the land is regarded as most beautiful
With the large acreage suggested by
the park board there would be abun-
dant room for Fairgrounds which would
be accessible for children from all
parts of the city. There would be great
outdoor amphitheater for public gath
erings of the people and the land is of
such nature that the improvement of
it for park purposes would demand only
small expenditure.
In keeping with the recommendation
of the park board the options are to be
secured at cost not to exceed one-half
Of enc per cent of the purchase value
Of the property and with the under
standing that the amount paid for OPP
tions is to apply on the purchase price.
The members of the park board are
hopeful that the sum of $125,000 will
be voted by the people as this viii
provide not only for the purchase price
of the property but also small sum
for improvement Tt is declared that
the price at which the property is Of
fered to the city is a fair price and a
price much lower than is being demand
ed for surrounding property.
1t is probable that the question will
be submitted to the people some time
in July as it is the purpose of the park
board to close up these deals,s if the
people favor them, before the end of
the year. With the purchase of these
lands parks would be assured for all
the people Of the city.

OPTIONS ORDERED BY COUNCIL
Recommendations of Park Commission
Providing For Purchase of 14o Acres
Are Adopted BY Unanimous Vote
and Question Will go to the People.

Plans for an adequate system OF
parks for the city of Kenosha are to
be put directly to the people. The
council paved the way for the submis-
sion Of the question to referendum at
the meeting on Monday night when by
a unanimous vote a accommodation of
the board of park commissioners in re-
gard to the purchase of park lands was
adopted and the members of the board
of park commissioners were instructed
to take options on the property in ques-
tion providing for the completion of
the purchase when the people by ma
jority vote, at a special election, pro-
yided for the issuance of bonds in the
amount of from 100000 to $125,000.
The plan submitted by the members of
the parks board provides for the pur-
chase of one hundred forty acres of land
all Of which is either in the city or adj
joining the city limits and every acre
of which is regarded as most valuable
for park purposes.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS L KIDNEYS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In p hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
lions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine 80 it no longer is source of irri-
tation, thus ending bladder weakness
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now md then to keep their kid
neys clean and active: Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became Of
your kidney trouble and backache.
