HIGHER RATE IN ALTERNATE
Bca-d Finds Receipts Of Company WIN
Not Provide for Vast Demand for
Extension Of Mains Let Contract
for Pipe and Meters.

The Board of Water Commissioners
met on Monday evening with the com
mlttee on Judiciary Of the Common
Council ard after frank discussion of
the proposed ordinance to charge q dol
lar foot to the property owners for
the laying of water mains, the ordinance
was given the sanction of the members
of the commission. It is expected that
It's course through the council will be
made as easy as possible with a view
of having che ordinance in effect when
the Water Board begins the work of
adding to the present pipe system with
the opening Of the building season.
Members of the board are convinced
that the only way to provide for proper
| extension of the water mains is to
charge the cost of them TO the prop
erty owner directly benefited
Pay Frontage or Increase Rates.
The members Of the board agreed
that there was bit two courses open to
provide for the proper extension of
water mains. One was the council plan
OF assessing the property owners for
the laying Of the mains and the other
was to raise rates to be charged 80 con-
sumers. Under the regulations of the
Wisconsin Railroad Commission the
company Is hrnited on the rate it caa
charge for water and the commission
win not permit increase Of rates on all
the patrons of the company to provide
for the extension of mains DO new ter
risory. 1t has repeatedly held that the
public utilities must make proper as
sessfnents against people directly bene-
| fitted in order that the rates n1ay be
kept as low as possible.
The six per cent earnings on invest
ment, which the eommiasiom permits
the city company to earn, wo1ld m
no way meet the demands for exaen-
sions in Kenosha.
Make Contracts for Pipe.
The board anticipating very large IN
creases IN the underground systenns dur
ing the coming year, les contract to
the j. B. Glow company of Chicago,
for FIVE hundred toms Of iron pipe for
mains The cost of TINS pipe viii be. q
little over $33y 900. Three bids were ne
eeived, all of them offering the pipe to
the water department. at a rate IF
$67.40 ton. In addition to the pxzr-
chase of pipe the beard voted 10 yur-
chase a Thousand new water HaeSanx at
q cost of something IN the nsighbor.
hood Of ten Thousand dollars. It Is ok.
pected that the growth OF the city dHr
ing the coming year win Iemand very
large number of new water meters.

SPENT VAST sum
ON COUNTY ROADS
Ready to Sanction Council
Plan to Charge Dollar a
Foot for Water Exten-
sions in the City.

Kenosha county expended $132,871.86
for the construction and maintenance
of good roads in the county during the
year 1919. This fact was shown in the
annual report of County Highway Com
missioner John Herzog, presented to-
the county board at the opening of the
January session of the board this even
ing. Commissioner Herzog gave over
much of his report to the setting forth
of the figures of expenditures during
the year but he urged strongly upon
the board the value of the work which
has been done and its value in flcreas-
ing the value of property along the
roads permanently improved. He urged
strongly that the work Of building good
roads be continued in the county and
declared that he considered expendi-
lures for roads the best expenditure
that could be made for any county.
Bristol Leads in Expenditure.
The report showed that the town Of
Bristol led all the towns in the county
in expenditures for roads during the
year, the total for that town being
$S8, 765; the town of Somers was sec
ond with an expenditure of $19,f80;
Paris was third on the list with $4,000
and Pleasant Prairie traiIed with ex-
penditures of $14,624. The report
showed that with the closing of the
year of work, there was SIC, 1000 in the
road fund for construction and main
tenance This will be added TO the
funds for expenditures during the pres
emit year. The report showed that
$17,9S7 had been expended for main
tenance Of the improved roads during
the year. The employment of an as
sistant for the highway commissioner
was left in the hands of the roads com
mittee.
Ofaeials Make Report.
The opening session of the January
session of the board was devoid of
pyFoteehHies. The first session was
given over almost entirely to the re-
ports of the officials Of the county and
to organization work. The building
committee had not completed its for
NAL report to the board this afternoon
and Chairman James Martin told the
members of the board that the commit
tee would submit its report ON Tuesday
morning with the understanding that
the entire day Is to be given over to
the discussion Of the court house eues-
I'm. Chairman Martin said that he
s4d not believe that the committee
would make formal recommendation
for action but that this would be de-
cided at meeting Of the committee
this afternoon.
There Is not great deal Of impor-
tant business to come before the board
and it is possible that the January ses-
sion will be closed on Wednesday af-
ternoon.
