Wants ufflers on
All Shrill Whistles
Agitation Is Started to Ask Northwest
ern Railway to Put MuffIer on
Shrieling Whistles.

The shrieking, shrilling whistles Of
the engines Of the Northwestern Rail-
way company have got on the nerves
of some of the people of Kenosha. A
movement was started today to ask the
company to do something to lessen the
noise which daily accompanies the OPP
Grafton of the trains at the various
freight yards of the city. It is de-
clared that there is constant din
from unnecessary bell ringing and
whistle blowing and that it has be-
come real nuisance to all those who
live anywhere near the railway tracks.
This morning a communication was
received by the Manufacturers associ-
alton asking that the question be TAX
en- up with the railroads. 1t was also
suggested that the long, wierd, shrek
ing whistles Of the locomotives that
pass through Kenosha during the
night might be dispensed with without
affecting the safety of Kenoshans. It
is believed that the "less noise cam
paign" will prove a popular one and
that other unnecessary noises may also
be brought under protest as soon as
the movement gets well under way.

Former Sheriff
Would be Alderman
Ex-Sheriff Joseph Meyers Comes Out
as a Candidate for Alderman in
the Eighth Ward.

Political circles in Kenosha had just
a little thrill this morning when
Joseph NJ Meyers, formerly sheriff OF
Kenosha county, took out petitions as
a candidate for alderman in the eighth
ward. Alderman Edward Mischler is
candidate for re-electi;n in the ward
and it is expected t,lat the coming OF
the former sheriff into the fight will
make a hot race for the control of the
ward. Meyers was an alderman at the
time he was elected as sheriff of the
county and he resigned his position as
alderman of the eighth ward when he
moved into the county jail.
Much satisfaction was expressed by
officials when Alderman Charles NJ
Anderson of the third ward took out
petitions as a candidate for re-elec-
ton. Alderman Anderson has been
one of the most progressive members
of the council and has been a leader
in the passage of constructive legisla-
tion for the city.

Can't Find Sister
of Joseph Ben

The body of Joseph Ben, who was
injured in an automobile accident and
who died at Mercy hospital at Gary,
Ind, late on Monday, is being held at
the Williams undertaking parlors at
Gary pending the location of relatives
on the unfortunate man. A sister is
supposed to be living in Kenosha and
the police have been making a search
sor her but no trace of her has as yet
been found Several addresses furn-
ished by the Gary officials have failed
to reveal any facts as to the identity
of the dead man. 1t is thought that
he was a former Kenosha man but this
fact has not been borne out by the
report made by the police officers con-
Quoting the investigation. A new call
is made to any one knowing the man
to report to the police at once. No
details of the accident in which
..sn met his death have been received
by the police.

WANT new DEPOT
STARTED AT ONCE
Central Improvement AS
ISOLATION to Force Hand
of Electric Company.
PLAN NEW WHITE WAY


Getting firmly behind the plan to
demand the completion of the new
passenger station of the Chicago
North Shore and Milwaukee electric
and laying plans for great west side
white way on Rowland avenue which
is to extend from Market street on the
north to the limits Of the city on the
south, the members of the Central I'm
provement association, business men
about the Hub of Kenosha, held a most
interesting meeting on Monday even
ing. All of the leading business men
of the district were present at the
meeting and pledged their support to
secure the carrying out of the big
plans made. An immediate appeal will
be made to the common council and to
the officials of the electric railway to
secure the starting of work on the big
station which is to be located midway
between Elizabeth street and Avery
street. The city council has vacated
land to the company as site for
the station and the business men will
insist that the work be done at once
Company is Hesitating.
The company is said to be hesitating
about going ahead with the work on
account of disturbed conditions of the
financial world, but it is probable that
if the work is not started in the early
building season for this year that some
appeal will be made to the council for
the repeal of the ordinance by which
the land was vacated to the company
Officials of the company have informed
the city officials that the work will be
started just as soon as the company
can see it's way clear to finance the
completion of the station.
Petitions providing for a great
white Way" on Rowland avenue to
be put in under the direct orders Of
the common council, are now in cir,
culation and it is said that they have
been signed by many of the property
owners. Under the plan the white
Way" will be nearly mile in length
and it is certain that it will make
Rowland avenue the most attractive
drive in the city.
The association members went or
record as being favorable to street
improvements by the rounding off OF
the corners at all street intersections
in the business district about Rowland
avenue and the council will be asked tc
order this work done. Some of these
corners are among the busiest corners
of the city and it is believed that the
rounding off of corners in the district
would be one of the best things that
the city could do to safeguard the
streets against automobile accidents.
The meeting of the association was
most enthusiastic one.

CEMENT PRICES
FAIL TO TUMBLE
Bids for County Supply Re-
ceived Monday Higher
Than i'm 1920.
KENOSHA IS FAVORED

Cement is one of the things that has
not tumbled in price, according to the
records of Kenosha county and bids
opened on Monday afternoon for the
supply necessary for the construction
Of county roads indicated slight in
crease in the price to Kenosha county
over the price at which the cement
was bought in 1920. To be exact, the
prices offered on Monday are 5 cents
a barrel net higher than the price a
year ago. The best bid received was
bid of 1921 barrel delivered at any
railroad platform in Kenosha county.
The Dunnebacke company was the low
bidder on all of the jobs save one
where the low bid was offered by the
Central Fuel & Supply company.
The price is slightly higher than the
price set by the state highway COM
mission for the season, but officials of
the county connected with the road
building program declare that they be-
lieve that the price is favorable one.
Kenosha County Was Favored.
"Kenosha county was favored last
year and got very low price for ce-
ment compared with the price paid by
other counties and by the trade in
general" said County Clerk Charles L.
Holderness this morning. eve took
bids very early in the season last year
and the price of $216 a barrel was a
lower price than was paid by most of
the counties of the state and by con-
tractors in general. In most places
the net price last year ran up as high
as $500 a barrel and looking at it
from this angle the price offered to
Kenosha county this year shows con-
siderable reduction over the general
price offered year ago"
No definite action has been taken to
accept or reject the bids and the mat
ter will be held open pending the de-
cision of the road commission as to
just how the road program is to be
carried out.

URGING WOMEN
TO JOIN PROTEST
League Seeks Organization
of Women to Demand
Lower Case Rate.
MILWAUKEE, In LEAD

Women in Kenosha are to be asked
to join in a statewide protest against
present rates charged for gas. The
protest was given its initiative at a
meeting of women in Milwaukee this
afternoon. The meeting was called by
the officials of the Fair Price League"
of Wisconsin and resolutions were pre-
sented asking the railroad commission
to take some action to reduce the price
of gas to the people in the state and
particularly in Milwaukee. An in
crease in the price of gas in Milwau-
kee was recently granted by the com
the scrutiny of the legislature on
Wednesday.
1t is alleged in the demand of the
women for readjustment that under
orders Of the commission the quality
of the gas in Wisconsin has been re-
duced while the price has been in
creased.
No United Action Here.
No united action has been taken
among the women of Kenosha to have
formal protest sent to the commits
sion. Several of the women who have
appeared before members of the rail-
road commission to protest against
the quality of gas sold in Kenosha
have received letters from the mem
bers of the Fair Price League asking
co-operation in the movement from,
Kenosha but as yet no formal action
has been taken to have Kenosha join
in tn movement. 1t is said that the
cities in this section of the state are
especially interested in the plan to
make protest to the commission.
Even at the increased price the charge
for gas in Milwaukee is considerably
smaller than the rates set for both
Racine and Kenosha.
