MUST WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR
Harbor Appropriation for Kenosha VIII
Probably Be Included in Emergency
Measure Which is Slated for Pas
sage Before Session Closes Sat.

Hopes of Kenosha men Of securing
an addition to the Kenosha post Office
Or the extension of postal facilities in
the city by the construction of west
side branch, are going glimmering, as
a telegram from Washington today de-
clares that it has been practically
agreed by members of the upper and
lower houses of congress that appropri-
ations for public buildings will not be
made at this session of congress. An
appropriation of $4,000 is provided
for Kenosha in the public buildings
bill, but it was announced on Monday
that this bill is to be allowed to die
a natural death between now and next
Saturday night and that no substitute
for it will be proposed. The only hope
left for Kenosha to get an addition or
a branch building is in the general
post Office bill This bill carries at
present appropriations of $312,000,oo0
but it may be cut to the marrow be-
fore it is passed by the two houses of
congress in the closing days of the SEES
sion and when it becomes a law it is
expected that it will carry only money
enough to provide for the demands Of
the post Office department.
The men in Kenosha who have been
fighting for extended postal facilities
were holding consultations of war to-
day to seek some way to get the houses
of congress to act on the Kenosha de-
mand. Congressman Cooper has a
special bill prepared, but it is of no
value if the appropriation is not
included in the general bill.
Kenosha is not the only sufferer as a
result of the new conditions in con-
gress. Hundreds of cities who had
been given assurance that public build
ings would be provided for them at
this session of congress must wait I'M
til the next session unless the public
buildings bill iii its present form is
taken up at a pecial session. Members
Of congress have declared that with
the possibility Of an appropriation of
$500 100000 to handle the affairs of
the nation in case of arced neutrality
every cent available must be saved in
order to make up this fund.
The rivers and harbors bill is also
to be cut to the minimum, bat it is de-
clared that the small appropriation of
So, 500 made for the maintenance Of the
Kenosha harbor will be left intact.
This is included in the engineers de-
mand for maintenance and it is under
stood that the bill to be passed will
carry an appropriation of $25,000,000
for emergency purposes.
Tt is probable that a formal confer
ence Of the Kenosha business men
favoring the new branch will be held
within the next few days and that
some plan will be outlined to have the
question taken up at once by the
Chamber of Commerce and other or
CARNATIONS SO that Kenosha will get it's
appropriation just as soon as any appro-
priations are made along these lines.

KAISER OUTLINES PROGRAM
Departments for Work Will Be Organ
lied Within Next Fortnight and Di-
rectors Agree to Fine Themselves
for Non-Attendance at Meetings.

The Chamber of Commerce is going
to be q real institution from now on.
The members of the Board of Directors
met on Friday evening with the new
secretary, Richard F. Kaiser, and heard
his outline of the plans for the organi-
cation Of the work in kenosha and
from now on weekly meetings of the
Board of Directors are to be held and
within the next two weeks it is ex-
pected that a number of the depart
ments of the organization will be thor
oughly organized. The meeting Of the
directors on Friday evening was en-
thusiastic to a marked degree. The
new secretary had made a careful
study of conditions in Kenosha and
just what is demanded to make the
Chamber Of Commerce a real power
in the life Of the city and the directors
fingered until midnight discussing the
various phases of this plan and it can
be said that it met with the complete
sanction Of the board.
In the absence Of Acting President
Dan 0. Head from the city, Secretary
A. D. Drury of the Board of Trustees,
presided. It was a ground floor prop
osition to be considered and the work
Of organization will be started all over
again with the idea of installing in
Kenosha' the most modern methods of
commercial organization. It is expect
ed that within two weeks the full quota
of committees will be named and put
to work. There is to be real business
methods, for coupled with the plan to
hold weekly meetings of the Board Of
Directors the directors voted them
selves to assess q fine ON tardy or alb
sent members and this fine is going to
be stiff enough to~compel attendance.
The general plan for the work of the
organizations included many depart
ments for civic betterment and ad-
vancement of commercial interests Of
the city. This plan. will be put
into operation just as rapidly as the
equipment can be installed and the
various working bodies organized.
" We are working along the right
track 70. have a real organization
now,o said one of the directors this
morning. SsThe meeting revealed the
fact that Kenosha is going to put pep
into the Chamber Of Commerce and we
are going to have a hundred of the
members into active work within a
fortnight and before we get through
every man in the organization and
every womal too is going to have some
thing to do and what is more, they will
be expected to do it. Secretary Kaiser
has outlined real plan for the work
and this plan will be laid before the
members at a public meeting later"
Members Of the Grand Army met
with the directors on Friday evening
and the plans for The coming state
encampment of the Grand Army were
discussed at some length. This will be
one Of the first big problems to be TAX
en- up by the Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber is also in charge of the
coming Community Institute and ac-
tive work is being done to promote
this big institution.

And that thirty-fve thousand dollars
which is slated to be thrown into the
lake at Broad street, might be used
advantageously to secure more land for
the extension Of the harbor. In fact,
there are lot of ways that it could
be spent lot better than digging
channel at Broad street.

And carrying prohibition to the ex-
tent of preventing some people owning
guns would meet with the instant APP

is the regular authorized officers Of

And the jitney men do not seem to
be nearly as anxious to get decision
from the Supreme Court. They appear
to be more willing to take their chances
that the officials will not want to fuss
with jitney prosecutions. AT that they
lave great vision.

U. s. OFFICERS AT FRONT TRAIN
 NEW ROCKIES

With the American Army in France, Sunday, Dec, 2-(By the As- sociated Press)-A number of off, cers, who were attached to the first battalions to enter the trenches have been transferred to the newly arrived units of former national guardsmen where they will direct the work of getting the new troops ready for the front line. Later men on the first unit to establish contact with the enemy also may be transferred tenn porarily to assist the officers. This conforms with the announced plan of Gen. Pershing.
 Reports from all divisional head- quarters indicate that the training is progressing most rapidly. The course of instruction has been shaped so as to achieve the greatest results in the shortest time without abandoning any necessary detail:
 Snow fell today over the entire American zone, whitening the ground, buildings and trenches in the higher places, but adding to the mud in the AOWAeIl0S. 2L6Ai1COIo uOHh11l6 O1a l1ld supply line today reported that they had passed through several fairly lively bombardments without casual ities.
 Vance Mccormick, member of the American mission to the inter-Allied conference, came out from Paris to. day to visit headquarters and see the troops. Later he left to inspect the French front. Col. B. M. House and the other members of the mission are expected to visit the American zone during the week.
