County Commission
Bill is Passed

Madison = Commission form of gov
eminent for counties secured final ap-
prevail in the legislature yesterday af-
ternoon when the senate passed As
semblyman Summerville's bill giving
Wisconsin counties the option to dis
continue the present system. 1t is
expected that the governor will sign
the bill. Upon petition of electors and
following ratification by popular vote
any county may abandon the present
multiple member board and substitute
a small Commission. The compulsory
feature was omitted from the bill, but
it is hoped by the legislature that the
new plan may be tried by enough coun-
ties to be an indication of its merit.
Cities which have operated under the
commission form of government have
demonstrated that the success or fail
ure of the system often depend upon
purely local conditions.

Industries Lost Fight
for Return of Tax
Lands Decides Against Wisconsin
Manufacturers in Soldier Bonus
Tax Case.

Madison Wisconsin corporations
have lost their initial fight against
the government for S7O64,675 through
a decision of Judge X. M. Lands of
the federal court at La Crosse.
Judge Lands sustained the govern
ment's demurrer in the suit brought by
the Ed Schuster Co. of Milwaukee for
the recovery of $9,175 of taxes paid
under protest in 1919.
The Sckuster Company claimed the
right should be given it to deduct from
it's federal income taxes the amount
paid the state for soldier bonus taxes.
The company claimed it had no knowl-
edge of an increased tax due for 1918
under the soldier bonus law passed in
1919.
The Schuster Company is understood
to see the question through the courts
and will appeal from the decision Of
Judge Lands. Every corporation in
Wisconsin paying an income tax in
1919 is interested in the litigation.

SUPERVISOR ROBES
HEADS COUNTY BOARD
Seventh Ward Supervisor is Named as Head
of Board at Reorganization Session
Held This Morning.
BELL HERE WITH SET OF NEW PLANS
Minneapolis Architect Ready to Offer Plans for New
Court House TO Cost 100000 = Standing
Committees for Year Named.

! ing that he would have a chance dur
ing the day to show the members of the
new county board, a new plan for a
Kenosha county court house Archi-
tect Bell has his sketches filed away
in the Office of the county clerk and he
declared that he was ready to take up
the matter with the board at any time
the spirit moved Kenosha county to
build a court house.
Sees Improved Conditions.
Conditions in building have improv-
ed considerably" declared Mr.. Bell and
he intimated that he thought that the
coming two or three years would be an
excellent time in which to erect the
proposed Kenosha county building. II
am ready to make a proposition to the
board if the board desires to hear it
but am not urging matters. Plans
which I believe will meet with the
sanction of the county are now ready
for consideration and l believe that
the building will cost about 5000, 900
and it will take another hundred thous-
and dollars to get it furnished and
ready for the county officials to move
in. These prices are for job Of which
the county would be proud. l have
spent considerable time working out
the Kenosha problem and l would be
glad to have chance to submit it to
the people through the members of the
county board"
Has Contract for Big Building.
Architect Bell came to Kenosha from
Ironwood, Mich, where he has the con-
tract for the building of city hall
and Memorial building which to cost
in the neighborhood of quarter of a
million dollars. He was selected for
the work of directing this building
without the submission of any plans to
the committee in charge of the cree
ton of the building. He is working
out plans suggested by the committee
and the building is to be started at
once.

GAS FAMIlVES
GO TO DISCARD
Erection of Emergency
Plant in Racine Assures
KenOsha Supply.
TO MAKE WATER GAS

Danger of the failing of the gas
been greatly reduced if not eliminat-
ed entirely by the action Of the Wis
consin Gas & Electric company in in
stalling a new plant in Racine which
will be used for the manufacture of
water" gas. The plant is an emerg-
ency plant and it was placed in oper-
alton for the first time on Friday. 1t
is declared that in case of a serious
accident in the main plant in Racine
the new water gas plan would be able
to keep the two cities supplied during
the emergency.
The new water gas plant is housed
in two story brick building adjoin-
ing the old plant of the company. 1t
has capacity Of 100000 cubic feet
Of gas daily under the guarantee of
the manufacturer. 1t is said that if
worked to a twenty-four hour ca
pacity 100000 more cubic feet can be
added to the output.
Continue to Serve Kenosha.
1t is believed that the building of
this emergency plat gives the assur-
ance that Kenosha is to continue to be
supplied with gas from the Racine
plant and that it will not be necessary
to erect large plant in this city for
the company to meet the demands of
is customers,
1t is expected that within q few
days the company will make some of
fetal announcement to its customers of
the plans for the new plant.

FLOOD DAMAGE
MOUNTING HIGH
Western Part of County is
Buried Under Flood of
Storm Water.

Farmers all over the western part
of Kenosha county and the eastern
part of Walworth county are facing
heavy losses as result of food con-
ditions which have developed follow
ing the snow of last week and the
heavy rains of Monday noon and Mon
day evening The Fox river is out Of
its banks and a large amount of farm
land in the town of Wheatland and
smaller amount in the town of Ran
dali is under water. In some places
the flood water caused by the overflow
of the river is ten feet deep. The
bridge over the Fox river at Wilmot
was threatened on Monday evening
but it was declared this morning
that the damage appeared to be over
with the receding of the flood wa
ters. Farmers fear that the loss
from the food will run into the thou
sands of dollars but none of them
were willing to make an estimate this
morning. The town Of Pleasant Prai-
RE is also declared to have suffer
ed from the food conditions and many
low lands along the river throughout
I 7. L
no idea what the loss may be" said
/ Chairman Dowse of the town this
morning" but the food conditions are
very serious for the growing crops"
Genoa Junction Hard Hit.
The heavy rains converted the little
creek running through Genoa Junction
on the west border of the county in
to torrent on Monday afternoon and
evening and on Monday night the dam
near the Borden plant was torn out
by the water and short time later
the concrete bridge was carried away.
1t was estimated that the breaking
of the dam and the carrying away of
the bridge would mean a loss of not
less than ten thousand dollars.
There is very great damage from
the floods in the town of Randall and
the surrounding territory" declared
| Il. G. Nosburgh who came into Keno
sha this morning. ain some places
the water is still rising and I am I'M
able to even guess what this damage
may amount to. The water is the
highest that it has been in years and
the fields are buried with water all
over the town.
Railway Bridges Guarded.
It was declared that the railway
bridge near Richmond was in danger
of being torn from its abuttments this
morning and officials of the railway
company placed guards at the bridge
with view of preventing an accident
/ The 0Plane river running through the
center of the county is very high and
more rain would probable result in
serious floods from this source. Chair
man Bacon of the town of Bristol de-
clared that there had been little dam
age in the town Of Bristol but that
many farms were under water as
result of the big rain. Two head of
cattle were killed by tightening in
Bristol during the recent storms.
