NEED OF new FIRE HOUSE
Report of Chief Schwartz Which VIII
Go to Council on Next Monday Night
Shows Need of Extension of city's
Equipment for Fire Fighting.

Fire losses in the city of Kenosha
during the year 1919 amounted to
$17,867.32. Of this $11,230.S2 was on
the buildings under fire and $6,5a1.50
Is listed as the loss ON contents of the
buildings. The department answered
254 calls during the year. The loss as
compared with the year 1918 shows an
increased fire loss of more than $4,000.
The report shows that the insurance in
effect on the property damaged by fire
was $308,950 and that the value of the
property endangered was 1891, $50.
The year 1919 was not a year of
big" fires and the amount Of the loss
about averages the loss for Kenosha of
recent years. The long list of rlosses is
for the most part made up Of losses
reported from small fires and there
were scores Of calls made on the de-
partment which on the records indicate
no loss. =
Sees Need on Expansion
The annual report of the chief of the
department will be submitted to the
city council at its meeting on next
Monday evening and it will again sug-
gest the need of expansion for the de-
rpartnent in TSenosha Serious need is
felt Of better distribution of the fire
fighting equipment. Large territories
on the south side Of the city are mac
cessible for the fire trucks of the houses
now in use and there is an insistent
demand for the erection of new fire
house on the south side, somewhere east
of the Northwestern tracks. IT has
been held for the past two years that
such new building is necessary for
the proper protection of the city.
No Appropriation is Made.
No appropriation has been made in
the budget of the city for the erection
of a new fire house but it is expected
that the council viii take up the mat
ter, possibly next Monday night, and
that before the end of the year some
plan will be worked out for the extern
sions suggested The equipment of the
department is now up to the high
water mark and it is not expected that
any great amount of money twill be
asked for addition equipmenN during
the year.

SNOWMAN LEAVES
ACTORS STRANDED
Police Asked by Moose
Lodge to Find A. C. HUI
bert Of Mid-Winter
Amusement Co.
some MONEY IS MISSING

The blaze Of glory which last night
ended the six day carnival which has
been in progress at the Coliseum, was
dim1ned a little at three O'Clock this
afternoon when a warrant was sworn
out in the Municipal Court for the ar
rest of A. G. Hubert, an official of the
amusement company, that helped stage
the carnival, charging him with having
taken French leave = with some Of the
funds of the company. The warrant
was signed by an official of the Kenesha
Lodge of Moose who held the carnival
and who lost small amount of the
gate receipts for the event through the
sudden departure of the Snowman.
Leaves Actors Stranded.
When the time came this morning for
settlement Of the affairs of the COM
pany with the Kenosha Moose, Hubert
was found strangely missing and with
him practically all of the money which
was to have been paid to his employees.
The actors and concession people who
came with the carnival found them
selves practically stranded here this
morning and are said to have suffer
ed the most heavily from the .disap-
pearance of their manager.
Some of them without enough money
to buy breakfast, waited in vain at the
Coliseum this morning for their man
ager to appear and finally giving up
hope manager to gather up enough
money amongst themselves to 60 to
Chicago.
Moose Meet the Bills.
The disappearance of Hubert did not
bring any serious loss on Kenoshans or
the Kenosha lodge Of Moose, according
to the statements made this afternoon.
A part settlement had been reached
early in the week which had met prac-
tically all Of the bills Of the carnival
so far as Kenosha is concerned and on
" small amount of the gate receipts
for the last few days are missing. The
Kenosha lodge of Moose was in no way
responsible for the affair and helped
in every way to make up for the loss
even though they were not responsible.
Hubert gave his home address as
Columbus, Ohio, but members Of the
company thought he might be located
at Detroit There is still hope that he
may return and settle up the affair and
explain his absence satisfactorily.

GARBAGE CREW

Members of Special Gar

waukee to Investigate
''Drying' Plan Today.
DETROIT COMPANY FLUKEs
Committee Fails to Get Expected Pro-
position for Conversion of City Gar
bage into Saleable Products and City
May Make Fertilizer.

The special garbage committee of the
Common Council under the chairman
ship of Alderman Anderson of the third
ward, got away from Kenosha early this
morning and went to Milwaukee in a
new effort to find a solution of Keno
sha problem of disposal of garbage.
The committee plans to investigate a
dryer system in Milwaukee. Under
this systems the garbage picked up in
Kenosha would be submitted to drying
process with the understanding that
the product secured could be sold
for fertilizer.
9 ] am not fully acquainted with the
process, declared Chairman Anderson
before he left for Milwaukee this morn
ing, but have been given to under
stand that the system is one worthy Of
consideration and that it may aid ma
terially in solving the difficulties that
we are up against in Kenosha. / have
never seen this system in operation,
but it comes well recommended. -
Detroit Company Fails City.
The ruby plans Of the city to make
the garbage business profit rather
than a loss to the city by the adoption
of plans for converting garbage into
saleable products, have gone glimmering.
The Detroit company which had agreed
to present proposition to the special
committee of the council, has failed ut
terly and the committee has been adj
vised that the company will probably
not submit such a proposition to the
city. The plan of garbage reduction
offered by the Detroit company was one
which had the enthusiastic support of
the members of the special commits
sion, but it was declared some time
ago that the Detroit company consid-
cred Kenosha too small city for
operations at the present time.
Solve Problem Before Spring.
Chairman Anderson and the members
of his committee have been CO.
operating with the health department
of the state in an effort to find as early
as possible, a solution for the question.
1t is admitted that the city can not use
a public dump after the warm weather
comes with the opening of another
spring and summer and it is the inten-
tion Of the commission to have some
solution of the problem which can be
worked out before the hot weather
comes. The committee is to report
to the council at the meeting on next
Monday night.
