kee were interested in the completion
of the Sheridan road through Kenosha
county and that this interest would be
expressed in dollars and cents contribu-
tions to the Kenosha fund just as soon
as the committee from .Kenosha county
saw the Milwaukee men and asked for
contributions. 1t was suggested that
Milwaukee would give thousands of
dollars to aid the project. This amount
was not pledged but Mr.. Apple declared
that the interest of Milwaukee in the
