IN new DEMAND
FORMORE MONEY

teachers viii prepare for the considera.
ton of the board, tables showing the
cost of living, the pay of teachers in
other cities and the pay necessary to
hold teachers in Kenoaha.
Inspectors Report of Schools.
Much of the time OF the board was
given over to the discussion of the de-
mands of the teachers for the increase
IN pay, but several interesting reports
were presented. The report of the state
inspectors who have inspected the local
schools in recent weeks were laid before
the board and they showed that the
work being done in the schools meets
the approval of the inspectors in every
way. The inspectors gave the schools
high praise for their efficiency.
New Schools UP to the People.
The same time that the people vote
for q, president of the United States
next November they will be asked to
vote on the question of the erection of
two more school building for the city.
Rapid growth Of me city and rapid in
crease in the number of school child
rem has shown the need of these two
buildings. The board at the meeting
on Tuesday evening decided that it
would ask the city council to submit
for a referendum the question of the
erection of the new buildings This is
purely preliminary and between now
and the time suggested for the referen-
DUN the council will be advised as to
the proposed location of the new
buildings and the cost of them. 1t is
expected that the cost will be in the
neighborhood of half million dollars
and it is the pan of the board to start
the erection of the buildings in the
spring of 1921.
1t is the idea of the members of
the board that bonds may be issued to
meet the cost of the proposed buildings.

Five Young Men Ready to
Unite with Seven Others in
Building a Modern Apart
ment House.
MEET INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
Promoters of the Plan Ask Others In
terested to Join with Them in Or
ganizing Company and Carrying
Out the Plan as Prosed.

The Cunt Home Plan" promises to
invade Kenosha and a quintette of
young men have already formed an as
ISOLATION TO look into the matter of
building an apartment house with the
understanding of common ownership
with an apartment set aside to meet
the requirements of each one of the
stockholders and built in keeping with
their individual demands and desires.
It is said that the CUNT Home Plaa'
has been tried with success in some of
the larger cities Of the country ard
with the lack of homes and with con-
stantly mounting costs Of building the
plan is being carried to the smaller
cities. Here is the announcement that
the promoters Of the plan make to the
people of Kenosha.
The Unit Home Plan.
The method of home ownership called
the Unit Plan provide for joint owner
ship of a high class apartment building
in a desirable residence district in
which each of the owners have the ex-
elusive right to the occupancy of one
Of the apartments.
This is to appeal to those who wish
to live in a desirable residential dist
riot and whose means are such that
they cannot with today's price of such
Iea lestate, combined with the cost OF
building, afford to invest that amount
of money. Therefore why not combine
the resources Of say twelve such par
ties in securing the desirable location
and at the same time the advantage OF
the lesser cost of building twelve liv-
ing apartments as unit rather than
IL single units. It is estimated that
the cost of such department building,
together with the cost of real estate
viii not exceed $4,000 and that the
individual cost investment of each to
swing the proect would take from
$4,000 to $4,000. The idea being to
form cooperation corporation and
having members pay fixed rent for
their apartment and in this way to
pay off the borrowed money necessary
to the project and will result ultimately
in paying you a good dividend on your
investment. We have five individuals
who are ready to consider the plan and
would like to hear of others who might
be interested. If you are, drop lire
with address to the undersigned, 90
gether with occupation, age and size
of your family. = NC-42 News Office.

We're Not Arrested.

cit is true there is also an ordinance
providing that the person who does not
clean the snow from in front Of his
premises should be arrested, but if this
were done the patrolman would have no
time for anything else and the city
lookup would not hold the violators.
The thing that should be done is for
the city to compel these persons who
have neglected to clean their sidewalks
and where persons have been injured
on account Of it, to pay whatever dam
age is taxed against the city for their
neglect. just because the authorities
were lenient enough not to arrest them
for their neglect is no reason why
law abiding people should pay dam
ages for ito

violated Ordinance.

"There is an ordinance on the
statute books of the city of Kenosha
requiring every property holder to
clean the snow from in front Of his
property. Many and many of the peo-
pie of Kenosha have done this and no
accidents have befallen pedestrians
passing along these sidewalks which
have been kept clean. On the other
hand several accidents have been heard
from of persons falling on the icy side
walk where the snow has been allowed
to remain. If the city has to pay for
these accidents the persons who have
kept their sidewalks clean will have to
pay double. They either cleaned their
own walks or paid to have them clean
ed while the others who did not clean
the walks have been at no expense but
have by their neglect have compelled
the others to pay the damages for that
neglect and I do not think this is right
or just and it should no be so.

should be called upon to pay the dam

just what it resolves itself into.

mittee, today, if possible. The com
mittee today opened Headquarters in
the Warren Construction CO., office
in the East Oregonian building on
Main street, near Webb. and will list
all accommodations for visitors there.
Two telephones, number 977 and
9IS, were installed this morning and
there are two women. Mrs. Aron Astin
and Mrs Gladys McHatton, in charge
of the desk there. They are on duty
from 9 a. m. to p. m. and with the
two phones declare that they can ham
die all the calls that persons can pos
sibly give them.
Housing the Roundup visitors in
the past has always been one of the
big tasks and, with hearty cooperation
from householders, has been one of
the most successfully prosecuted. Per-
sons with spare rooms or spare bed
are urged to notify the headquarters
early.

mission from the Civic club to be al
lowed to erect a large temporary sign
on the depot park listing the arriving
and leaving times of all regular and

so that persons may see it from Main
