here-were specializing today over who
will be named to succeed Truman HI.

Several names are being mentioned

VIEW PLANS OF
new COURTHOUSE
County Board Inspects Re-
vised Specifications for
New Structure.
DIG DEEP FOR, WALLS
Architect Lindl Explains 1t Has
Been Found Necessary to Dig
Down to Solid Clay.

Kenosha county's new courthouse,
as it appears. on paper, was spread be-
fore the eyes of the county board
members today as Architect Joseph
Lindl presented the final draft of the
blueprints for the building for in
spection. The plans were gone over
carefully by the architect, who ex-
planned slight changes which had been
made necessary by the change of site
and by further work on the bIueprints.
The members of the board went over
each plan in detail making suggestions
wherever these came to their minds
Several points regarding the building
of the structure were being finally
threshed out today as result of the
review Of the blueprints.
Must Place Foundations Deeper.
One of the important things ex-
planned to the board by the architect
was that an examination made by the
city engineer had demonstrated that
it would be necessary to dig to depth
of nine feet below the present level
for the placing of the foundations on
a solid clay basis. On the other site
it was not necessary to go so deep
and for that reason the board will be
asked to pay for the additional work
caused by this change. 1t was ex-
planned that the building would be
five feet higher than the established
grade and that this would prevent an
excessive amount of excavating for
the basement of the structure.
The same exception to the plans for
the county Jail which is to be part of
the courthouse project was also ex-
planned.
To Have County Morgue.
The specifications were largely the
same as they were when adopted by
the board at an estimated cost of
100000. They provided ample room
for all of the various offices and
gathering places for county business
and affairs, as described at that time.
One of the additions to the plans is
that q room is to be built for coun-
ty morgue with the idea in mind that
the room will not be equipped imme-
diately but will be ready for use
should the occasion arise in future
years.
The board seemed very well pleased
with the complete plans and specifca-
tions as presented by the architect.
Arrangements have been made for
the Kenosha county supervisors to
meet the Racine County Board on next
Thursday morning in order that the
two bodies may discuss their programs
of road building for the coming year.
There will be discussion of the pro
posed highway laws which will inter
est both counties. It is expected that
members of the state highway COM
mission will be present at the joint
meeting. Divisional Engineer. Wey-
mouth of Milwaukee, will probably be
in attendance to explain the mean
ing of the new laws. The meeting
will be held in the municipal court
room in Racine.

Observation-Disclosures of the ad-
ministration merchant marine bill was
urged upon congress today by Presi-
dent Harding as necessary to relieve
the government of present Staggering
losses" in operation of the war-built
merchant feet and to establish a pro-
gram Of assured shipping to serve the
nation in war and give a guaranty of
commercial independence in time of
peace.
Personally addressing joint session
Of the house and senate, the executive
declared an actual monetary saving to
the government would result from the
proposed law, He challenged every
insinuation of favored interests and
the enriching Of the special few at the
expense of the public treasury. The
legislation, he asserted, automatically
guarded against enrichment or per-
petual bestowal,
If success attend, as we hope it will
he added, the government outlay is re-
turned, the inspiration of opportunity
to earn, remains, and American trans
portation by sea is maintained.
The president said concern about the
American merchant marine policy was
not limited 'to our own domain add
ing that the maritime nations of the
world 'were in complete accord with
the opposition here to the pending
measure" He declarde those nations
had a perfect right to such an attitude
but that he wished to stress the Amer
lean viewpoint which he said should
be the viewpoint from which one sees
American carriers at sea, the depend
ence of American commerce and Amer
lean vessels for American reliance in
the event of war"
No Call to Class.
Mr.. Harding declared it would be
most discouraging if a measure of
"such transcending national impor-
lance" must have its fate depend on
geographical, occupational, professional
or partisan objection. A commercial
eminenAce on the seas and ample agen-
cies for the promotion in carrying of
American commerce, he asserted, were
of no less Importance to the people of
the Mississippi and the Missouri valley
the Great Northwest and the Rocky
Mountain states than to the seaboard
states and industrial communities in
land. at is a common cause with its
benefits commonly shared" said he.
If government aid is fair term to
apply to authorizations aggregating
$75, 100000 to promote good roads for
market highways, the president added
it is equally fit to be applied to the
establishment and maintenance of
American market highways on the
"salted seas"
AS to present government operation
of the shipping board feet, Mr.. Hard
ing said there was the unavoidable task
of wiping out s50,000,000 annual loss
and losses aggregating "many hundreds
of millions" in worn out, sacrificed or
scrapped shipping. He called attention
that the government ships were being
worn out without any provision for re-
placement and that program of sur
render and sacrifice and the liquidation
which he declared would be inevitable
unless the proposed legislation giving
direct aid, he said, with ocean carrying
maintained at the present average
would not reach $20,000,00O a year, and
the maximum direct aid if American
shipping were so promoted that it car
ried one-half the nations deep sea
commerce would not exceed 100000
annually.
