The buildings are to be made accord

generations in the English family from
which it was procured. It is rich with
nuts, dried fruit and suet, but instead

MUST GET INDIVIDUAL BILL
Appropriation of $500 Is Made for
Kenosha Harbor But Big Need at Post
Office Is Over Looked Entirely in
the New National Budget.

If Kenosha is going to get an addi-
tion to the postoffce during the coming
year, the people are going to have to
fight for it, for while the estimates for
public work for the coming year, which
were sent to congress by Secretary
McAdoo on Monday afternoon total
close to a billion and half, the Keno
sha postofice addition failed to get a
mention. In fact, but thirty-fve thous.
and dollars was set aside for public
buildings in all the Wisconsin cities.
Kenosha people had been given to
understand that the appropriation of
seventy-fve thousand dollars for the
addition to the local postofiee had
hurdled the committee on buildings
and that it would certainly be included
in the list of appropriation sent to
congress at this time. Evidently the
fact that Wisconsin was not in line for
the administration and that Kenosha
gave its vote to the opposing candidate
at the recent election has been taken
into consideration and the first
economy shot was fired in the di-
rection of Kenosha. The failure of
Kenosha to land came as a great dis
appointment to the postmaster and
other people interested in the proposed
addition to the Kenosha building.
Kenosha was one of the half dozen
Wisconsin cities mentioned in the re-
port and estimate but she was men,
toned in connection with a proposed
appropriation of thirty-fve hundred
dollars for the maintenance of the
harbor. No appropriation was made for
the harbors at Racine and Waukegan,
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1916-12-07

Kenosha being the only city on the west
shore mentioned in the report.
The failure of the secretary of the
treasury to include the appropriation
for Kenosha in his estimate will mean
that it win be necessary to secure the
passage of an individual bin in or5er
to get the addition for the local build
ing. Such bill has been introduced
by Congressman Cooper and kilograms
were sent to Senator Husting today
asking him to introduce a similar bill
into the senate. There is still hope
that the bipartisan movement in
the two houses will bring some action
on the bill.
1t is certain that there is going to
be a fight in the present congress to
get any appropriations for certain
states and Kenosha is located in one
of those "certain - states. The Keno
sha Chamber of Commerce win be ask
ed to take up the matter at once with
a view of getting a united demand on
congress for the appropriation. It is
understood that the matter viii have
a favorable report from the postofice
department, but it is evident from the
estimate that it has not as yet been
given such report.
