VICTORY WAY
ONLYA MEMORY

The Victory Way" the most elab
crate decoration ever provided by the
city of Kenosha for any great celebra-
tion, became only memory this after
noon as workmen were completing the
work of tearing down the columns and
statues on Market Square which had
been set up as a tribute Of the city to
the bravery Of Kenosha soldiers in the
World War. The beauty of the q Vic
tory Way had been dilapidated in its
effort to weather hard winter and
most of the statues had been broken
and discolored. The columns are being
stored away in the basement of the
city hall and they may be used at some
future time when the city has need of
a similar decoration. The "yictory
Way" was designed by Charles Stuart
and it cost the city more than $4,000.
It was regarded as one Of the most
beautiful decorations installed by any
Wisconsin city in honor of the returned
soldiers.

Hill Steamboat Line Puts
On Big Steamer Pending
Repair of Steamers OF
the Line.
MAINTAIN REGULAR SERVICE
Steamers Marquette and "Mcveah
After Nearly Two Years of Continual
Service TO Have Rest and Remodel
ing At Local Docks.

The officials of the Hill steamboat
line completed arrangements today for
the ehartering of the steamer o 'ReiIey'
a large steel steamer of 1900 tons bur
den from the Chicago, Racine and Mil
waukee line to be used in the continu-
ance of the lake freight service through
the severe winter weather and while the
two boats of the line are being repaired.
The ice fields on the lake have be-
come very extensive in the last week
due to the extreme cold. The steamer
" McYea . which had been run contin-
ually since July I. 1878. through rne
year 1919 and up TO few days with
out stopping once for repairs, was dis
abled by the loss of her rudder in the
ice in the Waukegan harbor last Sun
day. The repair work to enable her
to resume service will take a few weeks
and to maintain the valuable daily run
to and from Chicago, the boat line
chartered the 'sO'Reiley"
Remodel Other Steamers.
The steamer Marquette" is being
re-modelled at the docks of the COM
pany, it having been intended to fit her
for better work in the Green Bay dis
trict where she ran this summer, and
the accident to the 'McVea" came at
a time when her sister ship could not
relieve her.
The company does not anticipate any
further trouble due to the ice because
OF the unusual size and the high power
of the ship to be used. The continu-
ance of the run will be of much value
and to the interest of all the shippers
in Kenosha and Waukegan as transpor-
tation Of all Minds are usually crippled
and hampered during January and
February.
The same schedule will be maintain
ed, the ship leaving Chicago every
evening and returning from Kenosha
in the morning.

Beautiful Wife of Louis Pig
Milo Comes From Italy To
Join Husband and Dies In
Cook County Hospital.
sUCCUhDs TO PNEUMONIA
Was In Pink of Perfection and Was
Picture of Health When She Land
ed In New York and Contracted
Pneumonia.

Doomed to drink the bitter dregs
from the cup overlooking with death
and disappointment, is the sorrowful
lot of Louis Pignilio, coal HEAVIER at
the ch,ste of the Northwestern Railroad
in this city.
Louis has been in Kenosha six years,
employed at the onerous task of heay-
ing coal. But he thought not of the
hardness of his lot. He cared not for
the WEAKNESS and the task. His mind
was ever fixed on beautiful soft-eyed
Italian maiden hes had made his wife
just before leaving sunny Italy to
come over here to- this great America
and work for the :money which would
pay her passage across the great water
to the arms Of the lover who was wait
ing, longing and toiling for her.
But before he had earned enough to
bring her to him, the great world war
came on and Louis had to wait until
that was over, for America was not re
ceiving any immigrants in those days.
But all dark days must surely come to
an end and the war over, Louis sent
the money to his beloved sweetheart
and she started for America She had
beautiful voyage across the ocean
and landed in New York in the pink
of condition. ( bright smile which
would not come off made more beautiful
the already beautiful features of the
woman who had come across the ocean
to join the companion Of her bosom.
But she arrived at Chicago only to
die. In the railroad trip from New
York to Chicago she contracted pneu-
monia and when she arrived at the
great metropolis Of the west on Sunday
morning it was only to be sent to the
Cook County Hospital. Louis was mott.
fed Of her arrival at the hospital and
on Monday morning went there to see
her. Instead Of finding the bright and
smiling woman whose image he had
carried in his heart for the last six
years, he saw grim visaged death glar-
ing at him out of her eyes. Not being
able to render her any service he re-
turned to Kenosha, when at clock
Monday night a telegram from the hos.
pital told him that she had passed tc
the Great Beyond.
The attack of pneumonia had bafflec
the doctors and was more than this
plant from her native land could sur.
vive. There are no children.

Annual Report Of Building
Inspector Shows Great In
crease In Building Oper-
atoms In 1919.
OTHER YEARS DISTANCED
Vast Proportion of Increase Is Shown
TO Have Been Expended In Construc-
ton of New Residences Fac
tories Show Big Growth.

Kenosha spent or prepared to spend
nearly four and half million dol
lars for new buildings in the year, 1919,
and in the increase for last year over
the preceding year was nearly 420 per
cent. These interesting facts are
shown in the annual report of Building
Inspector J. M. Albers, sent to the
common council at its meeting on
Monday evening. The report shows
that 1919 distanced every other year
in the history Of the city in building
operations and it shows that these
operations extended to prac tically
every part of the. city.
Most Successful Year for Dept.
''The year has been by far the most
successful in the history Of this de-
partment In spite of the greatly in
creased costs in labor and building ma
terials, the city has done tremend-
GUS amount of building and it would
appear that q lack of labor was the
only cause which kept it from being
stall larger" says Inspector Albers.
'GThe greatest single item is resi-
dcnces and new residential facilities
Lave been furnished for five hundred
and thirty-seven families. In spite Of
this there is today as notable lack
of homes as there was year ago. In
addition to new residences a large
number of buildings have been convert

1918. Tt is interesting to note that a
large percentage of the brick resi-
dences are owned by our foreign born
citizens.
Seven hundred thirteen heating
plants were installed at an average
cost of $277, an advance of SCI over
the average cost CT 1918.
Three hundred nintyfour garages

The comparative .dteta for 1919 shows
q much larger advance in the average
