Fight Big Fire Ont
In Pleasant Prairie
Captain Schend and Three Men from
Central Station Aid Pleasant
Prairie People t1Save Town

Kenosha had the second call in a week
to help out their neighbor on Sunday
morning just after seven o'clock when
Captain Schend and detachment Of
three men from the Central Station
went out to the village of Pleasant
Prairie and helped save the town from
fire which started at the Mcneil
residence. It spread rapidly. The
members of the Mcneil family were at
breakfast when the fire was discovered
and the flames were beaten back by
a bucket brigade until the household
furniture had been removed from the
house. When the members of the Ke
nosha department arrived with three
tanks of chemical they aided materially
in preventing the spread of the fire to
surrounding buildings. The loss as a
result of the fire was placed at five
thousand dollars and it is partially
covered by insurance. Several times
surrounding buildings caught fire, but
they were saved.

knowledge of Railway Business.

E. Edwards, evidently an escaped
patient from the Illinois asylum for the
insane at Dunning,. was picked up in
Kenosha at an early hour this morning
by Police Officers McGivern and Long.
He had evidently been wandering for
many hours, When taken to the city
lookup he asked to be allowed to COM
msunieate with number Of prominent
manufacturers in Racine, but responses
from these men indicated that they did
not know him. Edwards had in his
possession long treatise on the railway
conditions of the country. He insisted
that he was perfectly sane. At Dun
ming the managers declared that they
would send man to take charge of
him at once. From the incoherent talk
Of the man it was supposed that he
mad formerly held very responsible
position with some manufacturing con-
cern in Racine.

In the Circuit Court, II. Gaastra,
widely known as an architect and
builder, has fled an action demanding
a divorce from his wife, Mary DeDie-
mar Gaastra, and it is expected that
the case will come up for hearing
later in the week 1t will be contested
and Mrs. Gaastra has served a cross
bill in the action in which she alleges
cruelty on the part of her architect
husband. Both the plaintiff and the
defendant are widely known in Keno
sha. In his complaint for divorce the
husband charges that his wife repeat
eddy neglected her home duties and
that she was unfriendly to him, for
weeks declining to hold any converse
ton with him. The couple were mar
ried in Kenosha and they have no
children. It is understood that the
case will be bitterly contested when it

LITTLE STRIKE AT TANNERY.
Fifteen "setters" Bring First Labor
Trouble of the Year Reported
in Kenosha.

Fifteen settlers employed at the Allen
tannery, are on strike. They have
been on and off for the past three or
four days and this morning when, they
showed a little attitude to interfere
with other men who had gone to work
in the department, police officer was
sent over to maintain order. The men
gave the assurance that they would
make no further trouble. Ten of the
places of the strikers have been filled
by men returning to work or other men
being employed. The strike does not
effect any other department of the big
industry and there is no indication
that the trouble may spread.

Utility Company to
Pay Increased Tax
Final Assessment of Property of Wis
consin Gas and Electric Fixed
at S3,8OO,00O.

The Wisconsin State Commission to-
day completed it's work of fixing the
valuation of public utility corporate
property in the state and the assess
ment of the Wisconsin Gas and Electric
Company is put at $3,800,000. The
company will pay tax of 52,610, this
being the fourth highest tax paid by
any of the companies in Wisconsin.
The street railway systems of Wis
eonsin will pay an aggregate tax this
year Of $974,764.70 as compared with
1926, 764.50 last year. The Milwaukee
Electric Railway and Light Company
alone will pay tax Of 1925, 1888.
Under the present law fifteen per cent
Of these taxes are retained by the state
and eighty five per cent goes to the
locality through which the companies
operate. No apportionment of this
years taxes will be made until the
legislature has determined upon the
policy which the state is to fol
low in this matter.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to give fifteen per cent of
the taxes to the state, twenty per cent
to the counties, and sixty-fve per cent
to the localities. This would reduce
the share of the locality.

The Pope Sugar Company, one of the
biggest contractors for sugar beet acre
age in Kenosha and Racine counties,
has made voluntary increase Of dol
lar ton on the price of beets to be
raised during the coming season. The
contract price as fixed with the farm
ers some time ago was. seven dollars

that the price will be advanced to
eight dollars ton. 1t is the plan Of
the company to do this to stimulate
better production and increased acre.

that other companies contracting with
the Racine and Kenosha county raisers
will follow this lead within a short
time. In the two counties it is ex-
pected that more than two thousand
acres will be planted to sugar beets
during the coming month.

The above is the list of standing
committees of the Common Council for
the coming year. 1t came to the coun-
ell from a special committee on COM
nittees under the craftsmanship Of AL
derman Shearer of the Second and 9th
er members of the committee being AL
defmen Bounsall, Stein, Joachim and
Barr The committees were not NAM
ed by the mayor. In fact Mayor
Pfennig did not even suggest the adop-
council through the medium of the
city clerk who presented the list as the
report of the committee.
There was no discussion of the merits
of the report and while it showed
conclusively that several Of the old
and hard working aldermen had been
"shelved" the only show of resent
1,,o,+ was demAnd for the aye and
nay vote in the adoption Of the list
and the vote showed Aldermen Sulli-
van, Roberts, Thomey, Rockwell and
Boylan voting against the report.
Featured in the report Of the commit
tee was the removal of Alderman Sui
Ivan from the leadership of streets

conspicuous success and his place was

ton from the start of the reorganiza-
ton of the council
The only other important matter to
come before the council was a decis-
ion on voting machines. A letter
from one of tho voting machine com
panies asked the council to protest to
the legislature to pass a law which
would GUST the machines from use in
this state. The K6nosha council went
on record emphatically as opposed to
the discarding Of modern methods Of
voting and counting the votes and
when the matter came to vote but
five members, Schroeder, Stein, Wade,
Meyer and Hoppe were in favor of
discarding the machines. Without
division the council then voted to
send a protest to the legislature
against the passage of the proposed
BILL
On the recommendation Of the fl
nance committee the council decided
to remove from the city records lot
Of old unpaid personal property and
income taxes for the years from 1912
down to the present time. Efforts
are still being made to collect these
amounts but they viii no longer be
carried on the balance sheet of the
city.
The unpaid income taxes for the
years in question amounted to $12,-
1886 and the unpaid personal tax to
$1528.22.
As there was no business in the
hands of the committees the council
reached an early adjournment.
