movement looking toward the es-
adjustment of Hub Improvement
Association in Kenosha was officially
launched at a meeting Of representa-
tive residents and business men Of
the West Side, held in Danish Broth
erhood hall on Monday evening. y.
G. Geittman, cashier of the Kenosha
State bank presided at the conference
and generally directed it's varied ac-
tivities.
The purpose Of this meeting" he
said in opening the discussion of the
evening, lis to promote pride in the
West Side and it's Improvement. We
want to make it a better place to live
in and to do business in, place
where there is wholesome amusement
for everyone. This is not a selfish
aim. A better West Side means a
better Kenosha, not only out here but
up town and everywhere that Keno
shans live. In brief, we propose to
exploit q part Of city to make a
more perfect whole. This, we believe,
should be the aim Of every loyal citi-
zen."
Mr.. Geittman's remarks were ably
supplemented by constructive speeches
from A. Ne. Neergaard, Ole Rasmussen,
+. Holderness, A. J. Kappus, Herbert
Thomey, Henry Soulen and H. al.
Bruner.
"A map Of Kenosha will show you"
said the latter, "that the corner of
Rowland avenue and Elizabeth street
is just about the center of population
for the city. On this account its bust
ness men have recently styled it the
Hub of Kenosha. It's good name for
it. There's no reason why it shouldn't
be made second center Of business
as we'll as q mere center Of popula-
tion. I'm for this association because
believe it will help to make the
Hub -dinger."
Other speakers emphasized the nee
essity of starting the association on
a moderate basis and allowing it to
grow in momentum by its own move
ment.
Accordingly it was voted to post
pone permanent organization until a
second meeting to be held in Danish
Brotherhood hall at 1880 o'clock on
the evening Of Monday, June 18th. At
this session the committee Of seven,
under the Craftsmanship of HI. A. Brun-
er will submit names for the associa-
tion and present the first draft Of its
constitution and bylaws. The adop-
ton Of the latter will make possible
permanent organization and an eff
fective campaign among all people in
terested in the Improvement of Ke-
nosha's West Side.
Better Lights on Wider Streets.
The discussion Of general plans for
the association, which followed the ap-
pointment Of the organization com
mittee, brought forth suggestions that
the associations first projects be a
system Of ornamental lighting for the
West Side business districts and a.
movement to safeguard the width Of
its streets or widen them where wild
ening is possible.
eff we're to make the Hub the bust
ness center we expect it to be-" Mr..
Bruner suggested, "we must have UNI
| interrupted traffic. This is impossi-
Bic on narrow or poorly lighted streets.
Consequently our first aim should be
better lighting for wider streets"
These projects will receive detailed
discussion at the meeting to be held
on next Monday evening in Danish
Brotherhood hall.
IN the meantime Hub-enthusiasts
present at last nights session will
be awhooping her up for the next
meeting, making suggestions as to the
name and constitutional provisions for
the association, and generally advanc-
ing the. cause of new pride in the
West Side and its improvement as a
part of better Kenosha.
