Last Day to Pay Taxes

Wednesday, the last day for the
payment of taxes, found the rush at
the county treasurer's office but little
diminished. The books closed with
the end Of the days business. All day
the lines were maintained unbroken
by the late-comers up to the hour of
closing.
A large qantity of mail has been
received by the treasurer this past
week, but because of the rush at the
counter none of it has been opened.
This will explain to those who have
sent in checks for their taxes by mail
why they have not received receipts.
The papers will be sent out as soon
as it is possible for the treasurer and
his deputies, to catch up with the Of
flee business.
1t was reported Wednesday at the
treasurer's Office that the collection
for Tuesday amounted to $29,55953.
This leaves the total of unpaid taxes
approximately $79,4440.47. This fig
ure will be reduced materially by
Wednesdays payments and by the
mail payments mentioned above.

MAY SHIFT TRACK

Northwestern Sends Plans
for Installation of Via
duct at Bridge.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

With view of making certain the
proper service of Simmons company
in the future, the Northwestern Rail-
way company has sent to the city en-
gineer today new plan for the in
stallation of the tracks on Main street
just south of the Main street bridge
and the city has been asked to take up
the proposed amendment of the plans
for the track and viaduet with the
Wescott Engineering company of Chi
cago which is in charge of solving the
engineering problems in connection
with the building of the bridge and
the strengthening of Main street. The
amended plan provides for the moving
of the track and viaduct about six
feet south of the former proposed To-
cation. 1t is understood that the rail
way company is ready to take care of
such additional expense as may be
made necessary on account of the
change in the plan.
May Need Other Tracks.
The change is suggested on account
of the fact that big developments of
the plant of Simmons company may in
the near future demand further track
age for the handling of the output of
the company. with the change in the
location of the viaduct," declared City
Engineer Brennan, "it might be posi-
Bile for another track TO be installed
leading to the plant of Simmons COM
pany" The city engineer declared
that he could see no objection on the
part Of the city to the proposed change
in the location Of the viaduct.
The matter will be submitted to the
engineers and it is expected that some
report will be sent to the city council
at it's mex regular meeting to be held
a week from Monday evening. It is
not believed that there will be any
objection to the proposed change on
the part Of property owners in the dis
trict affected by the bridge work.

KEINOSHANS AT
WAGE HEARING
Several Kenoshans Attend
Minimum Wage Hearing
in Milwaukee.
TO SECURE MORE DATA

The public hearing of the Wisconsin
Industrial Commission and the Ad-
visory Wage Board, held at the Re
publican House, Milwaukee, Friday,
was attended by about three hundred
employers and representatives of labor
from all sections of the state. The
question under discussion was the re-
duction of hours of women from fifty
five to forty-four per week and the
proposal to introduce an increase in
the present minimum wage scale.
Those who attended from this city
were: H. ]. Mellum, representing the
Nash Motors company; Robert S.
Cooper, Cooper Underwear company;
John H. Brine, the Allen A company;
Conrad Shearer, the Advisory Wage
Board.
Fridays session was given over
mainly to receiving statements from
interested parties attending the con-
ference. Among those who spoke
were ]. j. Handley, representing the
Wisconsin Federation of Labor; H. H.
Jacobs, president Milwaukee Council
Social Agencies; Mrs. William Kittle,
Wisconsin Consumers League; George
Kull, Wisconsin Manufacturers assoc
citation; 1albraith Miller, Milwaukee
Garment Makers association and the
International Association Of Garment
Workers; A. S. Farnum, Lacrosse
manufacturer; H. c. Hancke, of Rhine
lander; F. W. Luening, representing
the merchants and manufacturers of
Green Bay; Mrs. Van Eyck, Associated
Charities, of Milwaukee.
Many of those who spoke in opposi-
ton to the proposed change in the
present hours and wages, based their
objections to the proposed change on
chaotic conditions of industry now
prevailing and the constant decline in
the cost of articles of living. 1t was
held that to fix a fair minimum wage
now for any length of time would be
impossible, and to fix one for a brief
period would only make matters worse.
Labor men held that the existing mini
mum wage was too low and the present
schedule of hours too long for the
health and general welfare of women
At the close of the hearing, the Com
mission and Advisory Board held a
session to consider further action. It
was deemed advisable to secure more
complete data on the subject and to
conduct other public hearings in vari-
Gus sections of the state. Next SEES
sion of the board will be held in about
two weeks in either Milwaukee or
Madison.

SLOT MACHINES
in MERRY TIlVKLE
Gambling Devises Have a
Rich Sunday Working in
County Resorts.
MANY SEEK TO PLAY

There may have been something of
an exodus of the gamblers from Keno
sha and the immediate territory about
the city, but reports received from the
county this morning are that the handy
little gambling devices were working
overtime in lot of places of the
county on Sunday and the merry Jingle
Of the bells and the branching of the
machinery was aiding materially to
help the resort keepers keep on the
right side of the ledger during the
rather quiet winter season and to per-
nit the gamblers who own the ma
chimes to reap rich harvest With
fair going for Automobiles it was 90
clared that the play for the slot ma
chimes in the outlying resorts of the
county on Sunday was unusually heavy
and that in some of the places both
men and women found lot of invi-
tations to take the chance.
Open Gambling Going On.
1t was declared that open gambling
was going on in many of these places
and that the men in charge of them
did not indicate any fear of the COM
ing of Constable John SchoIey or any
one else. "Scholey is too busy acting
as state prohibition agent to be very
much interested in slot machines now''
laughingly remarked one of the resort
keepers as he craned his neck to watch
the play on the machines. 1t is said
that people in one town of the county
are now circulating petition to Gov
ernor John j. Blaine asking that he
send state agent to Kenosha county
to put an end to slot machine gamb-
ling. So far as is known the attention
of the district attorney has not as yet
been called to the existence of the
slot machines.
