Is Sending out Application
Blanks and Information to
Cities Brought Under Lii
censing System in State.
MUST PASS EXAMINATION
Plumbers in All Cities of 5000 or
More Must Pay License Fees-Law
Applicable to Masters and
Journeymen.

Under the amended plumbing law
effective on January l, the state board
Of health is sending application blanks
and information to plumbers in many
cities brought under the licensing re-
quirements. BY Chapter 1888, laws Of
1919, licensing was extended to cities
and villages having population above
5000. The old limit applied to cities
above 5000. Licenses are optional for
plumbers in places under 5000.
Licenses for plumbers in these cities
under 5000 win be issued without ex-
animation provided application is made
and the fees paid before March |. The
initial master s fee is $25 and jour
neymen IS $1.00. Men engaged in the
plumbing business in cities under 5000
and having required qualifications may
also be licensed without examination,
according to the attorney general. At
ter February 20, however, licenses will
be granted only upon examination.
Yearly renewal fees are $15 for mas
tiers and 81 for journeymen. Contrac-
tors licenses were eliminated by the
new law, and licenses are issued now
only to masters and journeymen.
eff your place of business is To-
Gated in city or village having at
the present time a poulation Of 5000
or more, or will have after the 1920
federal census report" says the board
in the letter to plumbers today, or
you desire to install plumbing where
the licensing provisions Of the law APP
ply, then licenses should be secured by
all master and journeymen connected
with the business as such, or employed
by you. Plumbing apprentices are not
eligible to license without examination
unless they have had the experience
provided by the rules of the board
governing examinations. !"
The state board is also receiving re-
newals of plumbers heretofore licensed.
These licenses are now renewable
throughout January, under the new
law, and failure to do so within that
time calls for the payment of a reviv-
al fee of So for masters and 81 for
iourneymen, in addition to the regular
license fee, before renewals may be
granted. A large percentage of plumb
ers have already received 1920 licenses.

GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE
EXHIBITS AT BIG SHOW
Aviation Pigeon Lofts at Great Lakes
Will Bring Large Number of Birds
to Kenosha Poultry Show.

The Coliseum poultry show, which
will be held next week, will be the
greatest exhibition Of poultry and pet
stock ever seen in this city. In addi-
tion to some of the finest birds which
were ever seen here, there will be an
exhibit of fancy poultry, pigeons,
pheasants and eagles which will great
II enhance the Importance of the show.
The United States government will
have an exhibit Of a large number Of
carrier pigeons which are used in car
rying messages in government and war
work. This will consist of the stock
from the aviation pigeon lofts at Great
Lakes and is the best display Of pige
ons that have ever been seen in Ameri-
ca. These pigeons were shown at the
Madison Square Garden show recently
and made great hit. The number
which will be shown here will be linn
tied only by the space the officials can
spare, This aviation loft has enough
birds to stock the whole coliseum if
that much space could be given to it.
Outside of this, the local exhibits
will be the largest ever shown here, it
being estimated by the secretary that
there will be at least 800 birds shown.
Besides these, Chief Of Police Owen
O'Hare will have on display his golden
eagles, which will be quite an attrac-
ton for the show and Officer Breidt
will have on exhibition his beautiful
golden pheasants.

Joseph Goldstein and Arthur A1brecht
Get Valuable Property on
North Shore Road.

The first Kenosha North. Shore Sub
division is in the making as it was an
nouneed today that Joseph Goldstein
and Arthur Albrecht had purchased four
acres of the "Quarles" farm on the
North Shore road. The property is
about half mile south of Central
Park and runs from the concrete road
to the lake front. The consideration
was in the neighborhood of $1,000. The
property is to be snbdivided and sold
for residence purposes and it is planned
to build several houses on the property
during the present year. 1t is expected
that the opening of this property along
the north shore for residence purposes
will result in a large amount of it be-
ing placed on the market within the
next two years. The Quarles farm is
little over forty acres and it is expected
that all Of it viii be sold.

new DIRECTORY
ISSUED THIS YEAR
Wright Directory Company
Coming Monday To Start
Work of Listing People
of Ken0sha.

Kenosha rs going to nave new city
directory. 1t is going to be issued by
the Wright Directory Company Of Mil
waukee which has had charge of list
ing the people Of Kenosha for the past
twenty years and over.
James P. Ward, superintendent of
the company, will be in Kenosha next
Monday to start the work and it is
expected that the company will issue
the directory in the early summer. The
fact that the Wright people are issuing
the directory is promise that it will
be a good directory. Kenosha's pres
ent city directory was issued in 1918
by the Wright company and in keeping
with the customs of the past the di-
rectory should have been issued this
month, but the war and wartime de-
mands for men has made it impossible
for the Wright company to get full
supply of men to make the enumera-
ton of the people of Kenosha and for
this reason the work OH the regular
edition Of the directory has been de-
layed.
Kenosha Women to Aid.
The company is following new plan
this year and the enumeration of the
people Of Kenosha will be made largely
by Kenosha women. The company is
seeking a number of women to make
the enumeration but the checking up
of the work will be placed in the hands
of experts and the usual safeguards of
the Wright company will be followed
to insure the enumeration of practical
ly every person in the city. Postal
cards will be sent in due time to every
person listed in the directory at the
present time and there will be follow
up system which will make certain that
very few people are being overlooked.
It is just possible that the women Of
Kenosha who are now making the fed
eral census will be added to the Wright
organization to make the enumeration
for the city directory.
TO Have Much Information.
1t is expected that the 1920 directory
for Kenosha will be nearly double the
size of the directory issued in 1918. It
will contain lot of valuable informa-
ton and the city has been growing SO
rapidly that it is believed that the di-
rectory will contain at least a third
more names than were found in the
directory issued two years ago this
month.
The Wright company is now issuing
a city directory in practically every
one Of the large cities in Wisconsin.
The company is now busy with a new
directory in Racine and it is expected
that the work in Kenosha will follow
the completion Of the enumeration

Promises Lower Taxes.

The mayor gave the assurance that
the mill tax for 1920 would be lower
than the tax assessed last December.
He based this prediction on the fact
that the city would not be called on to
pay the heavy demand for the soldier
bonus and that there would not be de-
mands for the erection of new schools
during the coming year.
Mayor Joachim had carefully pre-
pared his figures for the consideration
