Building Corporation Formed.

Fifteen Of the far-s;ghted busi-
ness men of the city have recogniz-
ed the pressing need for additional
housing facilities and an organ;za-
tion which plans to construct houses
to rent or ftr sale was formed last
Tuesday evening.
The preliminary outline Of the
| corporation was made and action
toward perfecting and completing
it will be taken within the next
week. The program outlined calls
for subscr; ption on the part of
the member, a small part Of which
will be called every year and which
will extend over a period ct ten
years. Under this plan, sufficient
funds will be procurable every year
for the construction of several
moderate priced homes which will
be sold on contract or rented.
This money realized will in turn be
used for the construction Of more
houses the following year and VIII ich
will assist materially in relieving
the serious problem which confronts
the big boom now is due for the
city.
Every new business firm. when
looking for location must first
consider the housing facilities and
undoubtedly the lack of houses for
the employees has caused large
number Of prospective business
firms to abandon the idea of locat-
ing here in the city. Practically
every city in the country is faced
with this problem and many solu-
tions have been offered and suggest
ed. The city that makes success
| of such efforts and builds surplus
of homes will see stride in the
growth of population during the
coming year unsurpassed by any
previous year. Everyone cohceejs
that the year of 1920 will be ban
ner year and if the organization
can be formed which. will take ac-,
tion toward reducing this problem
to minimum. it will be the direct
means Of causing Milbank to gre =
and prosper as ever before.
The permanent organization will
be completed withia the next Il.
day and articles Of incorpc at ;on
drawn up. While the inve>tn enc
will promise to .yeild no more tran
fair return on the money invested.
the proposition will appeal to .hs
young business men, who sav- a
owing business and great nj -tn
in the future growth Of the c;'y.
and is going lover the top biz.

Construction Work Rushed.

Construction work has been start

adequate for the business needs Of
the concern for the time and addi-
tions will be made ds the increase
Of business demands it. The week
ly pay roll Of the company is now
about $1,000 giving employment to
20 men, which will be increased
when the factory is in shape to
handle the full output possible.
This is Milbank concern, back
ed by business men who took
$4,000 worth of stock in the con-
Germ when Mr. Dewar made the
proposition. Ortonvi!le displayed
a great anxiety and effort to induce
MIR. DeWar to locate there, and
made an offer of $4,000 backing
and a site. The additional five
mile haul from the granite quarries
caused him to decide in favor of
Milbank.
The quarry is located seven miles
east of this city and the men en-
ployed there have been making the
drive back and forth to Big Stone
in the past. 1t is the intention of
the company to provide housing for
them in the city so that they will
be able to live here during the COM
ing summer. Material that could
be salvaged from the ruins Of the
fire has been brought here and is
being used. New equipment has
been purchased and is hereon the
way. The building material is on
the grounds and nothing will delay
the completion Of the factory ex-
cept severe weather.

Washington.-A race between the

the honor of enfranchising the women
of the nation in time for their parti-
cipation in the November elections to-
day appeared probable The two par
ties, the indications were, would work

making body Gov. Roberts Of Ten

President Wilson announced several

to act on the federal suffrage amend

a conference here last night with SEN
ator Harding, the Republican candi-
date for president, did not state def
initely when the Vermont legislature
would be called but the impression
prevailed that the session would be
convened at an early date. The Yer

in fact did not openly state that he
contemplated calling an extra session
but declared that despite his reluct-
ance to permit change in the funda-
mental laws without deliberation

tice was signed she returned to Elk

with members Of the collegiate circle
but also with the younger set, to whom
she has endeared herself by her charm

friend. She is slightly known in Ke-
nosha by reason Of a recent visit with
friends in this city.

real battle will be on at Mccain feld
on Sunday The Regners have chosen
Richter to oppose Overlook.

WANTS TO WIDEN
ALTMAN STREET
Alderman Palrngreen Fa-
theirs Plan to Make Main
ST. More Metropolitan.
ASK COUNCIL TO ACT

The criticism of Kenosha's narrow
Main street has aroused to action
Alderman Fred Palmgreen of the Sec
ond Ward who announced today that
he was preparing an ordinance to be
submitted to the City Council at its
next meeting, which he believes will,
if adopted, give more metropolitan
aspect to Kenosha biggest business
street.
Il intend to ask that the city take a
foot and half on each side of the
sidewalk and add it to the street"
explained Alderman Palmgreen, "and
with this additional three feet. 1
think that Kenosha's Main street will
look more as it should look" He de-
clared that he had considered the
plan for some time and that recent
suggestions in the what Kenosha
Needs Most column of this paper,
has persuaded him to suggest the plan
Immediately to the Council
Telegraph Lines Under Ground.
Alderman Palmgreen declared that
the change would necessitate conside
cradle expense but that he believed
that it would be entirely justified by
the change that it would make in Ke-
nosha's busiest thoroughfare. He ad-
mitted that it would probably mean
that all electric wires now on Main
street would have to be placed under
ground and that street car poles would
have to be moved back the requisite
distance. Some of the telegraph wires
might be placed on other streets as
has already been done by the Wiscon-
sin Telephone company.
The project met with approval with
practically all to whom the Second
Ward Alderman mentioned it today.
It was admitted that while it might
not prove the whole solution to the
problem, it would certainly be step
in. the right direction and would help
to make other changes in Main street
more probable,
Sidewalks Are. Wide Enough.
The only objection which has been
brought to the plan with the exception
of the cost of it, is the fact that the
change would decrease the size of the
sidewalks materially. Alderman Palm
green insists, however, that there
would still remain as wide sidewalk
PC IS tho r'lle in manv of the larger
cities and that it would still be amply
large to accomoda all ordinary
crowds. He declares also that the
Improvement to the street would far
overbalance this opposition to the plan
The presentation Of the measure is
expected to launch rather spirited
discussion in the council and while the
measure may be not be adopted, ii
is thought that it will at the least
start the ball rolling and result in
the taking of some step in this direc-
ton.

CALL RECEIVED
FOR STATE MEET
Chester d. Barnes a Signer
for Republican Confer
ence at Madison.
MAY BOOST Phillip

Kenosha Republicans this morning
received the formal call for the state
Republican convention, to be held at
Madison on the afternoon of July 18th.
It is declared that the conferences has
been called by close personal friends
of Governor Philip. Interest in Ke-
nosha attaches to the fact that Ches-
ter D. Barnes is one of the signers of
the call. The call says in part:
s'The purpose Of the conference is to
endorse the nominations made by the
National Republican convention and
the National Republican platform, also,
to adopt a state platform and endorse
a candidate for governor, and to per-
feet an organization in support of the
Republican national and state tickets.
eve deeply regret that the people
cannot themselves select these dele
cats at, an election provided by law,
however, inasmuch as the law makes
no such provision, the calling Of vol
untary conference is the only system
under which a party gathering can be
held.
Each county will be advised Of the
number of delegates allotted, which
will be based upon the number Of Re-
publican votes cast at the last general
election.
"The committee asks for the gener-
Gus cooperation Of Republicans thru
out the state in order that the confer
ence may be said to fairly represent
the Republican thought on national
and state questions.
"This conference Is not called in the
interest of any person who is now or
may wish to be candidate for state
Office The delegates to the confer
ence will be free to give their approx
al to any candidate, who may appeal to
theFa as the most desirable person to
meet the present political situation
and the services to the state required
Of him."
