Thankless Task at Best.
Scholey declared that he had given
a lot of time to the work of cleaning
up Racine and Kenosha counties and
that he had secured some results. He

HAS NEW PLAN
TO PAVE ROAD
Lake County Official Sug-
gests New Way to Get
Zion Road Paved.
GIVES SUGGESTIONS

New hope was aroused of eliminat-
ing the bad stretch of road at Zion
City when Kenosha motorists learned
today that Charles Russell ,superin-
tendent of highways of Lake county
had been appointed a member of the
Illinois state legislative committee on
highways. He has not yet sent in his
acceptance but thinks ne will as it
would place him in a better position
to obtain what he considers needed
legislation in state road laws
Mr.. Russell has long nourished a
plan which he declares would provide
for the paving of the worst piece Of
road in the world" at Zion and it is
believed that one of his first steps in
the new Office will be to attempt to Sc
cure the adoption of this plan.
Plan is Explained.
Mr. Russell strongly favors amend
ment to the law which provides that
state aid roads may not be constructed
through cities or villages of more than
$500 population. Mr.. Russell thinks
that the density of population on the
proposed highways should be the
guide.
His suggestion is that in cases
where there are but ten houses to the
mile the state should pay the entire
cost of the road, where there are
twenty houses to the mile the state
should pay half, the community the
other half
Such course it is pointed out by
Mr.. Russell, would make it possible
to pave Sheridan road through Zion
City. 1t also would make it possible
to pave Belvidere street near the
vest city limits of Waukegan where
there are extremely few houses.
State to Regulate Traffic.
In this connection Mr.. Russell sug-
gests that if such law is put into eff
feet the state should retain the right
10 regulate traffic. He says this would
put stop to the practice of some viii
lagos which are creating speed traps
where signs inform autoists they will
be arrested if they drive over ten
or fifteen miles an hour. He said that
4 IL the state put In the ROAD through
a town it should retain jurisdiction
of the traffic regulations.
Another suggestion made by Mr.
Russell is that the state should assume
the maintenance of state aid roads in
stead Of leaving it to the city or town
He said the upkeep of the roads would
be more certain if the state handled it
The present system is more or less Of
a hit-or-miss affair.

CENTRAL MARKET
is SUGGESTED
Board May be Asked to
Convert Court House
Site Into Market.
SEE SMALL EXPENSE

Plans are being made for the open
ing of central market place in Keno
sha at which the farmers of the sur
rounding territory will have chance
to offer their produce to the people of
the city in more organized manner
than in former years and when the
county board meets on February 18th
it is expected that it will be asked to
give its permission for the use of the
new court house site as a Central
Market"
The property is admirably located
for the purpose and it is believed that
with a little improvement the site
could be made one which would prove
most attractive for the use of truck
farmers as central place for trade,
For years there has been a public
market on the street near the corner
of Exchange and Wisconsin streets,
but the arrangements to take care of
the market have not been such as to
make it attractive to the large num-
Der of farmers who have produce to
sell and there has been no chance for
any attractive arrangement of the
wagon shops of the dealers.
May Be Vacant Long Time.
It is not improbable that this big
piece of ground in almost the center
of the city will be vacant for several
years and it, could be converted into
an excellent mart for the exchange Of
the products of the farmers in the
neighborhood of Kenosha. The county
board sometime ago expressed will
ingness to have the property used as
parking place for automobiles, but
this plan has not been worked out on
account of the fact that the property
was not ideally located for this use.
1t is believed that with some encour-
agement from the officials of the city
and county that the farmers them
selves would form an organization to
improve the property in temporary
manner with view of making it an
ideal market. The city council has
shown willingness to foster the pub
lie market plan and it is possible that
small appropriation could be secured
from the city council to.aid the work
The cost of leveling out the ground
and providing roadwavs through it for
the accommodation of the buyers and
the sellers of produce would be de-
cidedlE small.
Thousand Dollars to Do Work.
1t is believed that all of the work
necessary could be completed at a cost
not to exceed one thousand dollars and
that with proper arrangement Of the
big tract of land it could be made TO
accommodate a hundred wagons filled
with fresh garden produce. With the
assurance that the market would be
permanent or at least be for a num-
Der Of years. it is believed that the
spaces could be rented for small
sum and that the money received in
rent would pay the entire cost Of keep
ing the Central Market" in first class
condition.
The marketing season will open
about the first of April and there is
ample time to work out the plan.
Members of the county board who
were approached today declared that
they could see no objection to the
court house site being put to this use
and as the county owns all the prop
erty on the block it would have the
final decision in the matter.

tate dealers of Kenosha was completed

lar to the old association. It's partic-
ular work will be to foster the best

cation and the charter is being held
open for the admission of other mem
bers of the profession in the city who
will meet the requirements laid down
by the state and local associations. 1t
is expected that practically all of the
active real estate men of the city will
ultimately be listed as members of the
new association.
Name Zens President.
John Zens. who has long been active
in the real estate business in the city,
was named as president of the new
organization. Truman Tt Parker was
elected as vice-president and John Van
Hammer as secretary treasurer. Plans

at is not the purpose of this or
ganizatioh to control the real estate
business in Kenosha," said one Of the
members of the organization this
morning, "but we want to place about
the business such reasonable re-
straints as are regarded to be best for
the man who sells and the man who
buys real estate We want to be an
active organization for the protection
of good trades and for the promotion
of movements which will advance the
real estate and building interests in
the city. The state organization is
now recognized as one of the Creates
agencies in the state for the advance
ment of better trades and we expect
that the plans carried out by the state
body will be largely reflected in the
operation of the new organization
here. Other men engaged in the bust
ness will be invited to join the asso-
citation and we sexpect that the mem
bership will ultimately include all Of
the real estate men of the city who
desire to come in under our plan of
organization"
