Urges Women to
Seek Citizenship
New Laws Proposed for Congress May
Make Way to Citizenship for
Women Much Harder.

Alien women in Kenosha county who
have desire to be citizens of the
United States, are being urged to
make applications for admission to ci-
tizenship at once. This action is taken
on account of the fact that a number
of bills are now pending in congress,
which if passed will throw many han
dicaps in the way of women gaining
full citizenship. There is a strong
probability that these laws will be
passed at the regular session of con-
gress and that they will become effec-
tive the first Of the new year. There
is still ample time for the women who
have declared their intention to be-
come full citizens to have these appli-
cations granted before the new laws
go into effect.
February 21st has been set as the
date for the next naturalization hear
ing in the circuit court and at that
time mora than one hundred and fifty
petitions will be heard.

The Kenosha Y. M. G. A. decided to
sell out and start all over at meet
ing held at the Elks Club on Friday
night and with two dissenting votes
resolution was passed directing the
directors of $he association to trans
fer the property at the corner Of Chi
cago and South streets to the Grelner-
Nash company for a consideration Of
$4,000. The resolution adopted was
as follows:
''Resolyed, That the directors OF the
association be and they are authorized
and directed to accept the offeS OF
100000 by the Greiner-Nash COM
pany for the Y. M. G. A. lot at the
northeast corner Of Chicago and South
streets, and to cause the officers to
execute and deliver a deed thereof,
and to do all things necessary to carry
this action into effect"
The proposed sale of the property
has been something Of storm center
for some time, but a large majority
of the men who have been leaders In
the Y. M. G. A. work in the city have
been Of the opinion that the site in
question was not the best possible site
for a home for the activities OF the
association and they have been in IA
vor of the sale of it. The fact that
but two members voted against the
resolution (there were thirty of the
members present at the meeting)
leaves no doubt but that the great
majority of the members of the asso-
citation favored the sale.
Start Work Over Again.
After provision had been made for
the sale of the lot, a motion was unan-
imously carried declaring that it was
the sense of the members represented
at the meeting that the directors take
immediate steps for the revival of the
work of the Y. M. G. A. in Kenosha.
AS soon as it is deemed practical, a
campaign will be started to raise funds
for the purchase of site and the erec-
tion Of new building. With the sale
of the property on Chicago street, the
association will have an excellent
start toward fund for a new site
and a new building. The members
were agreed that the association
should have a larger site with some
assurance of grounds enough to carry
on the work of the association on 3
big scale.
Discuss Other Properties.
Informally the members of the as
ISOLATION discussed several pieces Of
property including the splendid Sim
mons property on Prairie avenue and
the Hoyt property on Park avenue.
Either one Of these pieces of property
have a lot Of things to recommend
them for use by the Y. M. C. A. and
the large grounds about them would
offer chance for expansion. The
formal suggestion that either property
be purchased did not come before the
members of the association but it is
understood that the purchase of one
or the other of these pieces Of prop
erty will be taken up by the directors.
Modern Home Is Real Need.
"The Y. M. G. A. must come back to
Kenosha in an up-to-date and efficient
manner" declared one of the members
Of the board of directors following the
meeting "There is real need Of the
association here, but We must not seek
to do the work in q halfway method.

TO DEMAND VOTE

To Present Resolution to

ing Referendum.
VOTE ON BOND ISSUE

| When the County Board of Super
visors of Kenosha county meets a
week from next Tuesday it is to have
chance to refer to the people Of
the county the whole question of the
building of a new court house as
Supervisor N. ]. Roders announced
this morning that he had prepared a
resolution providing for referendum
on the court house question and this
will be presented to the board at the
January session. 81 have always been
of the opinion that the matter of
building court house should be sub
mitted to the people" declared the
supervisor in announcing that he would
present the formal resolution. sThe
project is one which is so large that
the board should not act without know
ing that the people want it to act.
am inclined to believe that this is the
proper time to submit the question.
After the January session sof the
board there will be time to issue the
notice of the referendum and the mat
ter may be voted on at the spring cleo
ton. The question can be given a
lot of thought and there is not hot
campaign. of candidates for Office to
make it probable that the people will
forget to vote on the referendum I
believe that at this election the peo-
pie can give full consideration of this
big problem and vote intelligently on
| it.
To Fix Amount of Bonds.
The resolution will provide that the
people by referendum vote fix the
amount of bonds to be issued for the.
building of the court house. 1t has
been suggested that several questions
be placed on the referendum ballot
with view of giving the people a
chance to show just how much of an
expenditure they want to make for
court house. With the assurance that
the resolution will be before the board
for action it is expected that the board
will be ready to hear propositions
from architects in regard to the build
ing. Architect Bell of Minneapolis
has new set of plans in the city now
and he is ready to go before the board
and show just why the board should
order the construction of court
house this year. It is said that sew
eral Of the local architects will also
be asked to be heard on the question.
If splan is presented which meets
with the approval Of the board it will
be easy to secure estimates on the
cost of the building before the time
set for the referendum.
