ALIEN ENEMIES
SWEAR ALLEGIANCE
Twenty five Aliens From Enemy Coun-
tries Admitted to Citizenship in
the Circuit Court Today.

Twenty-Five residents or Kenosha
city and county who had been classed
as "alien enemies = as a result of the
United States entering the war, were
made full pledged citizens of the nation
in the Circuit Court this morning when
Judge Belden sat to hear petitions for
second papers. Nearly every one of the
applicants for citizenship declared that
they never had any sympathy with the
war in Europe. A number of the men
admitted that they had served in ar
mics of nations which had been enemies
of the United States, but all of them
declared that they had not sought to
return to these countries for service in
the army during the war. After the
long list of alien enemies was disposed
of the judge admitted to full citizen
ship some twenty Of the men who had
served with the army and who claimed
citizenship as res< of this army
service.

solve many problems. The city now has
its own poor farm, but it has hnlita-
tions. At the present time it is large
enough to take care of all the paupers
on the city, but it offers a
very limited chance for the city to
work out any plan of self support for
the institution. It never has been self
supporting and under the present CON
ditions it is improbable that it ever
would be- With larger farm much
more farming operations could be car
ried on. 1t is just possible that the
union of the city and county on this
plan might solve the problem Of the city
securing a location for a piggery to. aid
in disposing of the garbage problem.
city Officials Not Talking.
Several members Of the council were
asked today what they thought of unit
ing with the county in the building Of
a home for dependents. They admitted
that there were elements of interest In
the proposition but suggested that they
would not want to make any decision
in. the matter until after they had seen
the proposition offered by the county.
The land in question was bought by
the county two years ago at cost Of
less than forty thousand dollars and it
is considered one of the best real estate
buys ever made in the county. 1t was
originally purchased with a view that
it might be used as a location for a
county hospital for the insane, but it is
improbable that this plan will be carried
out any time in the near future.

ANOTHER INFORMAL BID
FOR NEW COURT HOUSE
This Time With HALF the JAIL the
Cost Would be Under the
100000 Mark

Architects White, White & White,
who drew the plans for the proposed,
new court house, have another infor-
NAL bid for the construction Of the
building ready for consideration of the
county board when the board takes up
the building proposition probably on
Thursday. This bid provides for the
construction Of the building with half
Of the Jail plan eliminated for $867,590.
The plan figured on for the bid would
provide for Jail with y instead of 81
cells. The bids on which it is based are
from the Fleischer Construction Co., Of
Minneapolis, the Industrial Heating
Company and the Andrae Electrical
Company Of Milwaukee and the Ameri-
can Heating Company Of Superior. The
members of the county board have not
as yet intimated that they would be

Kenosha S population is increasing by
leaps and bounds and real estate is
changing hands rapidly, notwithstand-
ing the high prices which are demanded
for it. Persons from the country and
the villages of Kenosha and adjoining
counties are purchasing homes in the
city nearly every day. Within the last
few days a half dozen homes have

County Board Will Propose
To the Council a Union To
Take Care of Dependents
On County Farm.
RACINE HAS TRIED PLAN.

A farm home for dependents under
the joint control of the county of Ke-
nosha and the city of Kenosha, will be
proposed to the City Council by mem
bers of the County Board. A special
committee of the County Board headed
by Supervisor Thomas S. Scott, has
been directed by the County Board to
take the matter up with the council.
The matter was to have been presented
to the council on Monday evening but
it was overlooked in the rather avid
argument of the question Of bonds for
the soldiers bonus. 1t will probably
be taken up informally with the mem
bers of the council during the next
few days with view Of having some
formal proposition ready, or at least
a discussion Of it at the next regu-
lar meeting of the council.
Would Utilize County Farm.
The plan as suggested would utilize
the splendid farm property owned by
the county and it is admitted that the
property is ideally located for use as a
city-county farm for dependents. The
county has not at the present time
any great demand for place to take
care Of paupers, but with a steady
growth Of the county and with increas-
ed demands on the pauper officers of
the towns, it is believed that in the
near future such an institution would
be advisable.
Racine city and county have recently
united in the opening of similar in
stitution near the Racine County Hos
pital for the Insane. The expenditure
in that county was ein the neighbor-
hood of fifty thousand dollars, exclusive
Of the site for the buildings. It is
| not as yet been fully opened, but the
members of the county board of Racine
county are enthusiastic over it.

able story of successful court to the

and the county and this is the first time
that both the city and county has
profted as result Of its operations.
