OVERLOOKED THE FAIRGROUNDS
Council Fails to Make Levy of Tenth
of a Mill Voted by the People
at SpeciaI Election.

People in Kenosha, who are inter-
ested in the playground movement and
the advancement of various sorts Of
recreation for the children and the
adults of the city, were greatly dis
turbed on Thursday afternoon when it.
was discovered that the city council
had failed to include in the annual
budget the one tenth of a mill tax voted
by the people for the support of the
playground and recreation movement.
1t was wholly an oversight on the part
Of the finance committee of the council.
The attention of the members was not
called to the tenth of a mill levy and
they went ahead and made up the bud
get without it. Alderman Shearer,
chairman of the finance committee. de-
clared that the Fairgrounds were not
going to lose their support and that
the council would have to make some
provision to take care of the fund from
funds already levied It would be, i'm
possible to change the tax levy at this
time. The amount is in the neighbor-
hood of thirtv-five hundred dollars and
while it is not large the collection of

WINTHROP HARBoR FRIENDLY.
Chamber of Commerce Takes Up the
Suggestion of Neighborly Village
TO Have Train Stopped


Winthrop Harbor wants to be friend
ly with Kenosha. The people of the
6 dream city, just over the state line,
want to come to Kenosha to see the
picture shows in the evening, they
want to trade in Kenosha stores and
they want to be able to do all this
with the understanding that they viii
have way to get home in the even
ing. On this account the people of the
village have appealed to the Chamber
of Commerce Of Kenosha for mission
airy work with the Chicago and North
Western road to have the train which
leaves Kenosha at $50 in the evening
stopped at the s'Harbor.' At the
present time there is no train from
Kenosha stopping at Winthrop Harbor
after the early evening. A hundred
people at Winthrop Harbor, practical
ly the head of every family in the
village, has signed the petition to the
North Western asking that the train
be stopped. Secretary Lind of the
Chamber of Commerce has sent the
matter to some of the transportation
men of Kenosha and they will take it
up with the railway company. At the
present time Winthrop Harbor people
spending the evening in Kenosha are
forced to return home on the electric
line and walk mile before they can
reach their homes.

SEE CHANCE OF LONG LOOP
Company Is Planning to Complete Line
West from Waukegan Within the
Next Two Years = Kenosha County
Territory May Be Included.

Farmers in the western part Of Ke-
nosha county and owners of properties
on the lakes in the county, see a new
hope of better transportation to Keno
sha and the lake shore in the announce
ment that the new owners of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and North Shore
Railway Company are planning for
the extension Of the lines of that
company to the west. %
The plan that has been made now
provides for an extension west from
either Lake Bluff or Waukegan and it
is said that the company is not opposed
to building loop which would include
a large territory to the west of the
lines of the company 1t is said that
the line is planned to ultimately CON
meet Waukegan with Rockford and that
the company is anxious to get line
which would connect the lines with
Lake Geneva and many other summer
resort points. Superintendent Book of
the company, has announced that the
company is considering such lire but
he has also stated that the plans for it
are just little undecided
1t is possible that the summer resort
owners in the western part of this
county will unite to send a delegation
to Highwood to confer with the of
fcials of the company with view of
having a survey made to include the
lake district Of Kenosha county in the
proposed survey for the new line. It
would be an easy matter to build a
loop line which would leave the main
line at Waukegan or Lake Bluff and
swing round through the western parts
Of Lake and Kenosha counties and
form union with the main line again
at Kenosha. 1T is declared that many
Of the property owners in the western
part Of this county would be ready and
willing to make many concessions to
the company in order to get such a
connection with Kenosha. 1t is even
possible that the people would be agree
able to the operation of freight cars
over the lines. Several preliminary
surveys for such a line have been made.
During the days that A. c. Frost was
at the head of the Chicago and Mil
waukee lines one survey was made and
plans were under consideration, for the
building of such line when the Frost
business was overtaken with financial
reverses. Since that time several other
companies had made similar surveys.
It is pretty certain that the city of
Kenosha would be willing to go a long
ways toward aiding such line and it
is not improbable that franchise for
down town station could be secured
on very favorable terms. The super
intendent of the company, while al
hitting that the plans are under consid-
Grafton is not willing to make any
further announcement in regard to
them
