lay over MILK ORDINANCE
Pasteurization Must Wait for Considera-
tion Until After Election - Aldermen
Wrangle Long over Question of
Resignation of Jantior.

The City Council at its meeting on
Monday evening selected streets which
are to be improved during the coming
paving season and the report of the
street committee, accepted by the
unanimous vote Of the aldermen, pro-
vides for mile and half of paving
at cost to the city of fifteen thousand
dollars. Under the new ordinance the
property owners will not file petitions
for this work. For the most part the
committee has decided on the improve
ment of stub ends of streets where the
remaining portions Of the streets are
already improved The list includes:
Sheridan Road, from the end of the
present paving to Selma avenue; Divi-
sion street, from Milwaukee avenue to
Lake avenue; Howe street, from Mil
waukee avenue to Lake avenue; Wis
consin street, from Chicago street to
West Main street; Rowland avenue
from Grand avenue to the north line
of the Rice subdivision.
Under the new plan the city will
proceed with the paving of these
streets and the portion of the cost
provided by the new ordinance will be
charged to the property owners. The
only protest made against the proposed
program of the committee was made
by Alderman Smith of the eighth ward,
who held that the consent of the prop
crty owners should be secured first. 1t
is probable that contracts for all of
this work will be let early in May with
the understanding that it is to be com
pleted before the end of the year.
The meeting of the council was not
bristliug with big interesting matters.
The better part Of an hour was spent
trying TO find out whether or not Janitor
Sydney Of the City Hall, had resigned.
There seemed to be some doubt as to
the fact at the end Of the discussion
and the further consideration of the
matter was left open until the
next meeting.
The report of the judiciary commit
tee on the proposed ordinance for
pasteurizing milk was not forthcoming
and Alderman Boylan announced that
no report would be brought in until
after election. He admitted that some
of the aldermen were just q little shy of
voting on the matter at this time
Two claims for damages totaling
three thousand dollars was fled against
the city. Mrs Mary Romano claimed
two thousand dollars for injuries re-
ceived when she fell on an icy walk on
Grand avenue and DR., Germano win
settle with the city for a fall on Lyman
avenue for half this amount.
The city engineer reported on the
proposed plan to build sewer on
Brockett street. 1t was shown that
the portion of the cost of the sewer
to be paid by the city would be twenty
four thousand dollars and the matter
was sent to the sewer committee for
further consideration.
The people living west Of the city
asked that some plan be worked out
to furnish proper road from the west
TO connect with Salem avenue and the
matter was referred to the committee
with the understanding that the com
mittee will find some way to get away
from the sewer contract and keep this
west avenue of the city open.
J M. Thomas was given the contract
for the re-varnishing OF the interior
woodwork at the City Hall at the price
of two hundred and seventy dollars.
The question of buying an automobile
for the police department was laid over
for further consideration. The booster
pump for the fire department. was an
nounced to be in Kenosha and Chair
man Donahue of the fire department
committee, announced that it would be
tested out during the present week and
be in service within the next three
weeks
