Both Houses of Legislature
Pass Bill Granting Sub
merged Lands TO the City
Of Kenosha.
OPENS WAY FOR Big PARK
Riparian Rights Tc Land On North Of
Kenosha Harbor HeldN BY State Is
Transferred TO City Ends Bick-
ering With Property Owners.

The question Of riparian rights along
the north breakWater in. the city, was
closed up at Madison late Tuesday af-
ternoon when the Assembly by a vote
of so to 3, concurred in the Buck bill
which had been passed by the Senate,
granting to the city Of Kenosha the
title to certain submerged lands along
the shore of Lake Michigan. Under
the bill, which was proposed by the
officials Of the city, the state for a
small consideration, deeds these lands
to the city Of Kenosha and gives to
the city chance to proceed with the
work Of developing great lake shore
park. The action taken by the legis-
lature on Tuesday is similar to the ac-
ton taken some time ago when the
legislature granted to the City Of Ke-
nosha similar title to submerged lands
on the south side of the harbor The
bill, which will become law, practical
" cleans up. the title Of the city to
these submerged lands from one end Of
the city limits to the other.
Under the provisions Of the bill the
city will pay the state five hundred
dollars for the quit claim deed from
the state. Governor Philip has adj
vised the City Attorney and Mayor
Joachim that he will approve the bill
as soon as it reaches him and it is
expected that the city will have title
to these lands valuable for park pur-
poses before the end of next week.
The formal deeds for transfer of state
claims to the lands on the south of
the harbor, has already been filed for
record in the office of the Register
.of Deeds here.
While no publicity had been given
to the passage of the bill to grant the
city the title. to the submerged lands,
officials were very anxious to secure
the passage of the bill and it is be-
lieved that it will put an end to lot
of quibbling as to the city s right to
the property made by the construction
'of the breakwaters. Several private
property owners had shown desire to
claim riparian rights which the officials
held were properly the property of the
state and the passage of this law recog-
nizes the right of the state to pass a
title to these lands and provide that
this ownership of the state be convey
ed to the city of Kenosha.

ANDERSON AMENDMENT
FAILS TO GET SUPPORT
Kenosha County Mans Solution for
Eight Hour Day is Killed in the
Assembly on Tuesday

Every eight hour bill which has been
introduced at this session Of the Wis
consin legislature, has been killed. The
last eight hour bill to meet death at
the hands of the Assembly was the
Masiakowski bill providing for an eight
hour day for women in the commercial
establishments and limiting the amount
of overtime to four hours week. This
bill had already passed both houses of
the legislature but on motion Of As
semblyman P. n. Anderson of Kenosha,
was recalled. He said that he desired
to offer an amendment providing that
the bill should not take effect until
January !, 1920. The friends Of the
bill agreed to recall the bill for this
purpose. A new amendment was then
offered exempting printing establish
ments from the provisions Of the meas
ure. This amendment was adopted.
The bill was then killed by q vote of
% to SO. Assemblyman NJ E. John
son, Madison, Immediately asked for
reconsideration and moved call of the
house. He said that the bill had been
recalled for the purpose of a slight
amendment and not for the purpose of
killing the bill. The Assembly has been
tied up for hours over this matter.

Passed Without OPPOSE
ton Tuesday Evening.
MAY YET STRIKE "sNAG
Senator Buck Declined To Introduce
Bill But He viii Not Oppose It When
1t Comes Up In Senate No Argu-
ment over the Bill Next Time.

The lower house Of the legislature
on Tuesday afternoon, without opposi-
tion, passed the P. M. Anderson bill
granting to cities ofSthe third class the
right to contract with any public utili
hty, street or interurban railway, for
the lease, purchase, improvement, ex-
tension or part ownership of public
utility. This is the bill introduced to
give the city of Kenosha the right to
enter into an agreement with the Wis
consin Gas and Electric Company for
an extension Of the street railway lines.
1t was expected that the bill would
meet opposition in the Assembly, but
when it was called up by Assem.blyman
Anderson just after five o clock Tues
day the bill was passed without a
dissenting voice.
Tt now goes to the Senate and it is
expected that it will come up for ac-
ton in that body of the legislature
either late this afternoon or Thursday.
| While Senator Buck of this district, de-
.clined to introduce the bill, it was said
that he, would make no effort to pre-
vent its passage if the bill came over
with the sanction of the lower house
Of the legislature.
The bill is expected to be up to the
Governor for his signature by Saturday
and while he is expected to approve
it, he will call in representatives of
other cities in the state before taking
final action,
The passage of the bill by the As
sembly without opposition came as a
surprise to the city officials who had
been active in proposing the bill. They
had been given to understand that
there would be opposition to the bill.
1t is not expected that there will be
any great opposition to it in the Senate
since the unanimous action was taken
in the House The advancement of the
bill has aroused new hope here that
the city will be able to carry out the
plan of entering into a contract for
guarantees with the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric Company, provided the people
at referendum approved of this course.
