,sha County:

torlum, Wednesday, Nov. l4th, 1917,
beg to report that all members of
the Kenosha County Board with the
exception of Supervisors Burg and
Priddis were present. Through the
kindness of the County Clerk and sew
eral members of the Board we were
provided with automobiles for the trip.
On our arrival at Willowbrook we ex-
anined the driveway and found the
cement worl, in good condition except
near kitchen where acid has evidently
been spilled, taking off the top. We
visited the new barn recently built on
the farm. new tool shed for farm and
county tools was uncompleted. Ground
had been broken for a chicken house,
building badly needed for the flock of
chickens on the farm. Evidently somo
thought had been given to yard for
the stock but fence was not completed.
We found in the barn four Guernsey
cows and two Durhams, only one giving
milk at this time We were informed
that COWS had all passed tubercular
test.
Of the three horses owned we only
saw one black mare, the other two be-
ing at work on the pther side of the
farm.
Tho farm buildings when completed
will be credit to Kenosha County.
We were unable to visit the inside
of the Sanatorium, it being patients
rest hour. After due inspection of the
buildings and stock we returned to
| Kenosha.
Respectfully submitted,
T. S. Scott,
Chairman of the Committee of the
Whole.
J Supervisor Bacon moves to accept
and adopt the report as read and that
it be spread upon the minutes of this
Board.
Motion carried.
Report.
TO the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of KenoshS County:
Gentlemen:
AS Chairman of the Committee of
the Whole on tour of the County High
ways beg to report that on Tuesday,
November 81, 1917, we left the Court
House at Kenosha at clock a. M,
all members of the County Board pres
emit, excepting Supervisor Burg. We
proceeded west on the Geneva Road to
Wilmot Road, then over new 9-foot con-
crete laid this year from Farmers Home,
Larrabee Bridge. This work we found
in good condition excepting stone
shoulders not all complete. Leaving
the concrete we followed the WilmoS
Road to Liberty Corners, then north
through Salem to Geneva Road, then
through Silver Lake to Bassetts and
| Twin Lakes. We arrived at Twin Lakes
about 1890 clock where dinner had
been prepared at the Zerfas hotel.
After bountiful chicken dinner
County Judge Taylor, Supervisor Frank
Zerfas, Highway Commissioner John
F. Herzog, County Agricultural Agent
Griffith Richards and County Clerk
Russell Jones gave short talks on the
growth of Kenosha County and the ex-
cellent progress made in road buildings
under state aid.
Leaving Twin Lakes we proceeded
west to the County Line of Walworth
County and west one mile in said Coun-
ty then north and east to SHADES Cor
ners, New Munster, Brighton and home
via Burlington Road. We travelled 70
miles and of this distance fifty-five
miles was over improved roads built
under State Supervision within the last
five years. We desire to thank Cor
oner Milligar, District Attorney Fisher,
County Clerk Jones, Highway Commits
sioner Herzog, and Supervisor Barrowt
for the use of their automobiles on this
occasion. While this annual trip over
the roads is in some respects a pleasure
trip it gives the different members
of the County Board an idea of the
progress made, more than can be gained
from mere reports.
Respectfully submitted,
T. S. Scott,
Chairman of the Committee of the
Whole.
Supervisor Zerfas moves to accept
and adopt the report as read and that
it be spread upon the minutes of this
Board.

journed.
