That old plan & the city getting out
with snow ploF and cleaning off the
walks, had LOT of things to recon-
mend it. Just WY it was given up is
not apparent. a might have cost a
little money to Qerate the pillow, but it
was a real servie to the people. Pos
sibly the street department could find
a way to get the plows out of storage
and put them on the walks again.

No Argument as to Necessity.

As for the necessity for grade seper-
alton, there can be no argument to the
contrary. When travel was mostly by
horse driven vehicles, the danger at
railway crossings vas not SO. great and
was not expected to receive the con-.
sideration it does today when people
are endeavoring to save time and
money and most of the travel is by
automobile and auto truck. In order
to take care of this new mode of travel
particular care is taken that the proper
type of pavement is secured, bridges
are built stronger, and the fact must
be appreciated that the public streets
are a part of the great transportation
system and are entitled to the same
consideration as the system of railways.
The present railway crossings in this
city as in practically all cities, are very
poorly maintained and in crossing them.
regardless of the rate of speed, one
receives. a severe jolt which to some
extend reduces the life Of both the
vehicle and its occupants. If the wear
and tear on motor cars and other We
hicles could be reduced to dollars and
cents we would find the cost to be no
small amount. If we assume this cost
to be onlys one cent for each vehicle
each time it crosses railway track in
the city, it would amount to 1855 per
year. There are in the city of Kenosha
alone over three thousand automobiles
add to this the other vehicles and autos
from out of town that use our streets
and You have OF less than four thous-
and vehicles using our streets; then as.

Order Extremely Favorable.

This order of the Railroad Com.lis-
sion as to the distribution of the cost
is extraordinary favorable to the city
by reason Of the fact that the damages
to property if the plans are carried
out, would not be excessive in compari-
son with the cost and value to the city
of the improvement; the. greatest dam
age, in fact, practically all the damage
that. / can foresee at this time would
be suffered by the + -operty adjoining
the Simmons spur track on Main street.
and as the changes in the street grade
extend over a very small area, the
damages on this street would not
be excessive.
1T is necessary to call your attention
to this matter at this time because of
the fact that if new bridge is to be
constructed at Main street across the
harbor, it must besdesigned either with
or without the idea of grade separation
as the two plans would be entirely diff
ferent 1T will therefore be necessary
to decide if in the near future the plan
of grade separation will be carried out.
If it is to be, the Main street bridge
can be constructed only in conjunction
with the work Of grade separation be-
cause the plans as approved by the
Railroad Commission provide that the
bridge across Main street shall be be-
tween seven and EIGHT feet hipher than
the present bridge. The order also pro-
vides that the Wisconsin Gas and Elec-
trio Company shall pay $4,000 toward
the construction Of new bridge and
$500 if the old bridge is placed on
a new foundation.

THE GERMAN u BOAT

Freed from the fear Of the official
whip, the German publiclstS are now
giving out information which would have
deprived tEem Of liberty and possibly
life less than a year ago. Among the
revelations are those referring to the
losses among the German submarines
during the war. One of the leading
Berlin papers states that Germany lost
1913 submarines during the period of hos
~tilties, including 7 interned in neutral
ports and IA destroyed by their own
crews. This ean that 1T were sunk
by the Allies or lost at sea, together
with the three thousand men who Pan-
ned them 1t may be stated mere that
the Allied claims regarding the destruc-
ton OF these boats are greater than the
German figures, in fact they are placed at
$50. But the most tragiclthing of thewhole
matter is the confession that several
thousand sailorsin fhis terrible service
went mad and wire committed to- insti-
tutlOns for the insane. No doubt this is
n of the explanations OF the mutinouS
spirit which spread through the fleet and
destroyed its morle. The defeat in the
Battle Of Jutland at once and completely
remove all possibility of another action
on the open sea, and the best officers and
sailors were drafted for the undersea
service. AS the horrors of the submar-
inc life became known, the men begun
to refuse service and at length all disci-
pine failed and the High Sea Fleet had no
fight left in. it. which accounted for its late
surrender without striking a blow. The
submarine campaign was lost long before
the Germans signed the Armistice. The
relentless pursuit by the Allied Fleets,
the testing devices, the depth bomb, and
the deadly guns Of the destroyers which

FARM LOAN SYSTEM
SUGGESTEDFDR HOMES
B. and L. Leagues President Sug.
gests Aid for Its Mem
bership.

Aid to homebuilders on a national
scale. and in a manner similar to that
BY which the federal farm loan banks
aid agriculture, has been suggested to
the division Of public works and con-
struction development Of the Depart
ment Of the Interior by President
kessler Of the United States League
of Building and Loan Associations, in
order to interest the public in build
Ing during the transition period from
var to peace.
Huiiding loan associations OF this
country, according to this plan, would
perform for workingmen much the
same service as that, performed, Tor
farmers by farm loan banks. Mort
cages made over to building ana loan
associations, it is suggested, should be
rediscountable at federal reserve banks,
In order that these associations might
render most effective service. AT
present, however. two difficulties stand
in the way--first. the associations are
not members Of the federal reserve
bank system, and have no capital stock
and reserve therein; second, the re-
serve banks are designed for handling
commercial paper. not mortgages.
suggested is that special measures be
taken to protect the reserve banks, and
that the second be met by limiting the
amount of mortgages rediscounted. AS
an alternative, 1t is thought that the
farm loan banks might be authorized
to accept mortgages ON homes as well
as on farm lands. Either method, it is
thought, would be preferable to the
creation of new organizations.
The building and loan associations
for the country number 1853, with a
total membership of 3,83s,612. Their
total assets exceed $1,750 ,000, 900.
Their receipts from all sources in 1917
were $1.220.000. 900, and their cost of
doing business. $500. GOO, amounted to
only 0.8 of per cent. They are semi
philanthropic associations. and officials
are moderately paid or unpaid. Losses
are light because of the conservative
basis on which loans are made. Ordi-
narfly, If q man owns a lot of ground,
he may Immediately obtain a loan for
two-thirds the combined value of land
and buildings.
