ing was entirely harmonious and that
the last objection to the passage of
the ordinance had been removed.
president Nash stands for Kenosha
and wants to build up a greater indus
try here" said one of the members
of the council at the conference. "He
is ready to meet Kenosha half way
in everything which will advance the
city and the industry along with it..
We feel certain that the members of
the council will see their way clear
to grant the small piece of land sought
by the company and that the grant
ing of it will be long step toward the
building of a greater city"
Last Before Primary.
The meeting of the council this even
ing is sthe last before the primary
election and the last but one before
the city election on April 6, and it is
expected that the aldermen will start
the work of cleaning things up for
the close of the fiscal year. Three
of the aldermen will not be on the
council next year. Aldermen Turkel-
son, Martin and Hensgen have an
nounced their withdrawal from coun
Gil work. There are lot of matters
before the council, as it is now consti-
tuted, and an effort will be made to
clean up all the matters before the
new board is elected. Mayor Joachim
may this evening send to the council
his appointments of members of the
City Planning Commission and the
council will have lot of important
reports to act upon.
Get Prices on Bridge.
The bids recently received for the
work of improving Main street and
building the new bridge will be for
mally submitted to the council this
evening, but Of course no final action
can be taken on the matter until after
the matter is submitted to the people
at the referendum set for week from
tomorrow. The report of the engineer,
however, will be of interest, as it will
give definite figures on what the bridge
is going to cost the city. These figures
will form the basis of the appeal to
the people for support of the bridge
bonds.
1t is expected that the council at
the meeting this evening will take
steps to. secure the condemnation of
added property for the Washington
school site and this may open up
again the question of opening North
Chicago street.

city engineering force will be before
the council this evening 1t has been
the custom to take up this matter at
the last meeting of the council in

by any of the aldermen in regard to
plans for the future of the department
and it is believed; that present compe-
tent workers in the department will
be retained for another year.

business on the desk of the clerkffor
