CHOOLS ARE FOR
DAYLIGHT SAVING
ublic Schools Of Kenosha
VIII go on New Time
Monday Morning.
'OTE is UNANIMOUS
oal Bid for 1922 Coal Sup
ply Given to Eugene Am
bier Co. of Chicago.

Kenosha schools will go on the day
yht saving time next Monday.
AT special meeting of the school
ard last night, for the purpose of
varding the coal contracts for the
2l-22 term of school, and for the
lrpose of taking some action on the
'ylight saving proposition, the school
BARD unanimously voted in favor Of
ivancing the clocks Of the city
ohools one hour in accordance with
lie measure adopted by the Kenosha
'etailers' association yesterday and
ne Manufacturers few days ago.
One member of the school board
tated that it was only a question of
even weeks for the children at any
ate and that the most of the school
children came from homes where the
ather was employed in factory and
II the school board did not coincide
With the manufacturers it would work
IN undue hardship on the housewife
Who would have to prepare meal for
her husband and then one for her
children.
1--WE are not going at this by saying
that the people should have this o.
should have that, but we have taken
canvass of the teachers of the city and
out Of 221 teachers approached 1873
voted in favor of the daylight saving
nd 90 against. That makes it almost
i've to one in favor of the daylight
saving bill, The teachers were in
rtructed not to vote their personal
convictions, but what they thought was
hest for the schools of the city. Since
he vote is so overwhelmingly in favor
of the daylight saving, there is moth
ing more for us to do than to vote
for it," he said.
The clerk called the roll and it was
found that the vote was unanimous in
favor of the daylight saving. The vote
means that the school children of the
city will be expected to be in school
en hour earlier. With the manufac-
turers and the merchants in favor Of
the daylight saving as we'll as the
schools, it looks very much as if the
city hall and the homes of the ten
aldermen would be the only dwellings
end public buildings in Kenosha OPP
Grating under the old-time schedule.
No Resolution on Council.
The school board did not adopt any
resolution asking the city council to
reconsider their last vote. When some
member of the school board made some
such a motion, he was drowned in the
protests of his fellow board members.
"The city council took us in so much
consideration when they case their
vote," one school board member said,
"and now they stand a fat chance of
getting US to petition them. The man
ufacturers didn't and the merchants
didn't and so why should 2" he
asked 1t was the same way yesterday
afternoon when the merchants at a
mass meeting voted to turn the clocks
Of the CITY up one hour. The mer-
chants deliberately decided to ignore
the city council and even went so far
as to say that since the city council
had deliberately taken issue with the
people on the question of what the
people wanted it was not up to the
merchants of the city to consider the
city council.
Amber Company Gets Contract.
From a list of seven firms who had
entered bids for the 1922 coal sup
ply for the city, all the bidders were
eliminated for one reason or another
until only two bidders were left. These
two bidders were the Central Fuel &
Ice of Kenosha and the Eugene Amber
company of Chicago. The coal men
put up heated scrap to the school
board, but it was finally decided that
since the Central Fuel & Ice company
had not lived up strictly to specifca-
tions as to the quality and kind of
coal, the bid must perforce go to the
Eugene Amber company of Chicago.
The Amber company will sign a CON
tract with the school board for 1000
tons of Franklin coal at $3.50 to be
delivered at differently specified times
by the school board.
To Inspect Mckinley School.
There will be a final inspection of
the Mckinley school held this after
noon in which the architects and the
school board will go over the building
thoroughly. The final inspection is an
important one and one in which the
entire school board will join. The
Mckinley school will be ready for oc-
