not because the city people are more law

To the County Board of Supervisors
of Kenosha County.
Gentlemen:
We, your Committee chosen by Your
Honorable Body to act as such commit
tee, for the year just past, respectfully
report, that we have to the best of our
ability performed each and every duty
laid out for us to perform.
The committee was organized in De
eember 1917, with Supervisor Thomas
Fleming as Chairman and other meet
ings were held during the winter for
the purpose of purchasing cement,
trucks and other machinery and for the
purpose of hiring patrolmen for the
State Trunk Highway System within
our county as well as patrolmen for
parts of the County Highway System,
and the discussion as to the advisa-
bility of the location and kind of work
! to be done.
I We inspected work under eonstruc-
ton on the several roads of the county
at different times. We also inspected
9he patrol system at different times
Ind find the patrol system to be most
satisfactory.
Your committee attended tho letting
of the Federal and State Aid contracts
for the Sheridan Road, both north and
south of the City of Kenosha; we at
tended the road school at Madison,
where we met with other committees
and highway commissioners represent
ing the several counties Of the state
and attended the sessions of the road
school wherein discussions were held.
which were of very great interest to
such committees, which was clearly
designated by the fact that the COM
mittee in cherge of this class of work
was present from nearly every county,
in the state and we are of the opinion
that great good can be obtained along
the lines Of road building by having
| your committee attend these road
schools, where they may learn how
others do their work and compare same
with their work.
With reference to Highway Police
Patrol your Committee decided best to
employ one regular officer and place
him under the direction and control of
the Sheriff and give the Sheriff the
authority to employ additional officers
on such days as he deems same to be
necessary, not to exceed. however, the
| three officers.
For the ensuing year your Commit
tee re- ommends that these patrol Of
fcers be managed and hired under like
conditions of last year.
Respectfully submitted,
T. Fleming,
James Martin,

accepted and adopted and that it be
