plans for the building of the Sheridan
Road to the state line. Tt is planned
to make the road sixteen feet in width
with an eighr foot shoulder. This will
make a roadway of twenty-four feet in
width. 1t is possible that the county
highway commission will later make
plans to have the county portion of
the Sheridan Road built to the same
width. While no date has been an
nopnced for starting the state and fed
eral work on the improvement of the
road it is declared that when the work
is started it viii, be rushed to compile
ton so that the road viii be ready for
travel for the winter months. The
county contracts for work on the road

NEW ROOMS FOR RED CROSS.

The Kenosha Red Cross Association
will shortly be installed in new head
quarters over the G. Fl. Ernst and A. j.
Palica stores at the corner of Main and
Wisconsin streets The spacious rooms
have been provided rent free by Roger
n. Kimball, representing the Kimball
estate, and will furnish ideal quarters
for the rapidly growing association.
The hall is 40 by rs feet in dimensions
and is perfectly lighted by windows on
two sides. It will be redecorated and
refnished and equipped with linoleum
for the floors. Thus renovated, it will
provide Offices and work rooms for the
chapter at a much smaller expenditure
than was authorized by the finance
committee of the local association and
at the same time furnish headquarters
IN the heart of the city where they
will be asily accessible to business men
and residents alike. The change will
undoubtedly result in new interest in
the Red Cross work. The officials Of
the organization are congratulating
themselves on their good fortune and
thanking Mr.. Kimball for the gener-
osity which has made possible this pros
pective advancement of a patriotic
cause.
