GRANT DAMAGES
FORCHILD'SDEATH

The jury in the circuit court which
heard the evidence in the suit of Lewis
McGonegle and Dorothy McGonegle
against the Wisconsin Gas and Elec-
trio company, in which demand for
damages for the death of their son,
Lewis John McGonegle, killed when
caught under a street car on the even
ing Of June 2, 1919, was made, returned
sealed verdict to the court this
morning, finding the street railway
company liable for the death of the
little boy and fixed the amount to be
recovered by the parents at $1,821.50.
The amount of the damages was a
compromise, some Of the jurors being
in favor of much larger amount.
Accident a Distressing One.
The accident which resulted in the
death of the child was one Of the most
distressing in recent years in Keno
sha. The child had gone with his
father to a garage on West Grand
avenue and slipped away from the
father and ran out into the street.
The father attempted to save him but
failed. The jury found that the neg
ligence Of the men in charge Of the
car was the cause for the fatal
accident. It held that the father
showed no lack Of care. An appeal
of the case is possible.
Gascoigne Case on Trial.
This morning the jury began hear
ing eyidenc in the suit of Thomas
Gascoigne against the Wisconsin Gas
and Electric company. The plaintiff
claims damages for injuries received
in an accident on Market street on
July %, 1918, when wagon in which
he was riding was struck by street
car. His demand is for $1,000.

BULLETIN.

Up to three o'clock this after
noon the county board had taken
no final action on the installation
of the tract index or on hearing
architects with new court house
plans. The annual audit of the
books of the county was accepted
this afternoon. 1t declared that
all funds of the county were found
in excellent condition.
The members Of the Kenosha Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors spent their
entire morning session today discuss
ing the important problem of the in
stallation of tract index in the Office
Of the register Of deeds. Matt Guen-
Their of Milwaukee who has estimated
the cost of the index at something like
$4,000 was in conference with the
board during the entire morning and
outlined the vast amount of work to
be done and the expense of doing it
He strongly urged the necessity of ac-
ton at this time and he declared that
if the board laid the matter over until
later on, it was possible that the cost
of it would be great deal more. He
urged the board members to employ a
superintendent to have charge Of the
work under a contract and to allow
this man to have the power to employ
his own assistants. 1t was shown that
the work must necessarily be done by
experts and that to have it done in the
best possible way, the employment Of
these men must be away from a po-
litically controlled body.
Board Favors Index.
It was shown that it would take at
least four years to make the index for
the county Of Kenosha and that ex-
perts would be kept at work during the
entire time. Members of the board in
the discussion of the problem showed
clearly that there was no idea of turn
ing aside for the former decision of
the board to install the index and the
debate was largely on the method to
be followed.
Architects wanting to show the
board court house plans and make
propositions to build the court house
were waiting until this afternoon, as
it was held that the tract index would
be just as important as the court
house. Before noon, motion was
made to start the work ON the index
but it was held up for further discus
sion by the members Of the board.
More Aid for Registrar.
At the meeting of the county board
on Wednesday, afternoon, the list of
standing committees, as proposed by
a special committee, was approved and
the board voted without division to
grant another assistant for the Office
of the registrar to take care of the
vast amount Of work now passing
through the hands of Register Of
Deeds Schmitt. With the aid Of the
new assistant, the Office will be able
to take care of very large amount Of
work and it is certain that the work
will be provided for it.
1t is expected that the board will adj
journ late this afternoon, but censid-
GRAFTON of the court house plans may
hold the meeting over again for to-
morrow.

UTNEY MAN
PAYS LICENSE

The only jitney in operation in Ke-
nosha has complied with all Of the
laws of the state and the ordinances
of the city, as this morning Peter
Augustine, head Of the jitney organi-
cation and the only driver of a jitney
in the city, capitulated this morning
and walked into the Office Of the city
clerk and paid his license fees, not
only for the year, but for the previous
year. He left an even hundred dollars
with the city treasurer. This included
forty-fve dollars for the license for
the jitney for this year and last year,
and five dollars for the license of the
driver for the two years.
Before he took out the license
Augustine had a conference with the
mayor and he was told that the city
would insist on the jitneys living up
to the letter of the Kenosha ordinance.
With the license Augustine got a copy
of the ordinance. Augustine told the
nance and that he expected to have
from the city the protection Of his
business which the ordinance implied
and that this protection would include
the proper licensing of the taxi-cabs
which pick up passengers along the
street. Augustine held that these taxi
cabs were filing the place Of com
mon carrier and that they should be
licensed just the same as the jitney.
Others May Follow Suit.
The jitney drivers withdrew their
cars from the streets some time ago
on account of the license squabble.
The mayor let it be understood that
the city would take no backward step
in the fight to demand a license fee
from the taxi-cab drivers.
Other Licenses Coming Fast.
Other licenses are coming in with
a squirt. At the office Of the health
department this morning it vas re-
ported that round hundred licenses
collectable through this department,
had been paid since the first Of May.
It was stated that there was still some
fifty dealers in the city who had not
taken out the licenses. A list Of these
delinquents was ready to be t1rned
over to the city attorney this morning
and he was asked to take immediate
action to prosecute these men and
if necessary close up their business
until the full claims of the city for
licenses had been paid.
Only one arrest under the license
ordinance was reported by the police
this morning. The man arrested was
charged with operating q pawn shop
without q license. He was to be ar
raigned in court during the day.
1t was declared by the officials that
the general collection of licenses was
going forward rapidly and that every
license due the city was expected to
be paid by Saturday night.

County Farmers
Need Farm Help
State Report Shows That Need Is Most
Acute in This Section of the State
at This Time.

Some highly interesting statistics
concerning Kenosha county have just
been compiled for the state depart
ment of agriculture by J. A. Becker,
joint crop statistician for the state
and federal departments. These stats
tics cover farm labor supply, daily
milk production per cow, price received
for milk, and total value of milk prod
uct. From these it appears that the
present supply of farm labor in Keno
sha county is $3.50 of normal; that the
present demand for farm labor is 1890
of normal. The cows of the county in
1919 were MIXED an average of 505
days each and their average daily yield
was 10 pounds, for which an average
price of 1921 per cwt. was received.
The total value of the milk product for
the year was 50 ,924,6
