one from the standpoint of the people
who have occasion to do business in
these Offices" declared Secretary Shaw
this morning. eve are trying to made
this organization one which will be
really valuable in securing better

of things which can be bettered by the

hopeful that we can secure legislation
which will make it easier for the reg

WHITE COMPANY
GETS PAVING JOB
Cream City Contractors
Have Low Bid on Three
Miles of Paving.
WORK TO GO FORWARD
Contacts Will Plan for Compile
tion of all Work Before Com
ing of Winter Months.

Street pavement costs are travelling
rapidly along the road back to normal
cy and bids for the paving of more
than 31z miles of streets n-Kenosha,
which were taken on Wednesday after
noon, showed that there had been a
large reduction in the cost of pavement
of every type since bids were taken
for similar pavements in March of this
year. The White Construction COM
pany of Milwaukee was the lowest bid
der for all types of pavement. It's bid
for excavation showed reduction OF
more than one-third over the prices
charged in March, dropping down to 80
cents yard as compared with bids OF
80 cents. The price for concrete curb
and cutters was getting back to the
old figure as the cost of these per foot
under the new bid will be so cents as
compared with 80 cents quoted /, in
March of this year and Of more than
a dollar as a quotation in the fall of
1921.
Four Present Bids.
Four contracting firms presented bids
for the big paving job, which will run
into the tens of thousands of dollars.
The bidders included James Cape g.
Sons of Racine Western Improve
ment company Of Racine, the Dean
Construction company of Milwaukee,
and the White Construction company.
The low bid of the White company
for excavation made it low on all types
of pavement. The bids for the various
kinds of paving did not vary great
deal and in several instances other bid
ders tied the, White company on the
yard bid and the, excavation charge
made the bid of the Milwaukee COM
pany low.
Under the bids received, vertical
brick pavement will cost $3.44 square
yard, as compared with $3.49 in March
of this year and $4.77 in 1921. Asphalt
pavements will cost $2.95 a yard, as
compared with $3.50 earlier in the year
And reinforced concrete will cost $2.32
as compared the March bid OF
S2.49. 1t is admitted that the bids are
considerably below. the estimates OF
the cost Of the work as made by the
engineering department.
Many Streets on the List.
The list Of pavements to be com
pleted under these bids, and it is ex
pected that contracts for the work viii
be let by the council at its meeting or
Monday night, include portions o.
Pearl, Edward, Drew, Garden, Huron
Congress, Fleet and Jenne streets ant
Lyman, Rice and Tanck avenues.
1t is expected that one of the provi
sions of the contracts will be\that the
work on all of these streets must bt
completed by thee latter part of Octo
Der. Bids for thes installation of til,
various kinds of stubs under th'
streets ito be improved will be opened
on Friday afternoon. 1t isnot believed
that the installation of the service
pipes will delay the work of laying tn
permanent pavements. Within shor
time the council will get bids for thu
paving of other streets and the, mex
bids will include the resurfscing Of thu
macadam streets of the second ward

Tourists Pouring
Into State Daily
Badger State is Popular This Year as
Camping Grounds for Long
Distance Tourists.

Milwaukee. Wis. Wisconsin's sum-
mer visitors are pouring into the state
from all parts of the country over
highways leading to the Northern
Lakes region. Although it is COM
paratively early for the camping sea-
son in the northern part of the state,
it was said that the largest number of
tourists ever noticed at this time of the
year were passing through Milwaukee
and neighboring towns.
Each year the camper carried added
equipment, a striking difference COM
pared to a few years ago, when blank
cts, few dangling cooking utensils
and fish poles made up the summer
home furnishings. Today automobiles
pass through the city with equipment
hanging from all sides and some even
have traitors attached carrying every
thing from tin cup to radio outfit
1t is reported that fishing is ex-
ceptionally good this year and it is
expected that no frying pan will have
to hold bought fish,"
The early number of campers is gen.
orally attributed to the high rental
conditions in cities, where many peo-
pie have given up their apartments
flats and rented homes for the sum-
mer, and also the growing number OF
car owners who stage annual trips

FOR LONG OUTING
President of Council Off to
Bradford, r. I. for Rest
and Recreation.
NO MANAGER SIGNED
Council Head Declares He Will
Come Back Any Day COun-
Gil Can Agree on Man, !,

Selection Of a city manager for ke-
nosha will possibly be delayed for an
other thirty days or even longer, as
Walter H. Afford, president of the
city council, who has given some very
strenuous weeks of work to Kenosha
and its business since his election to
the head of the city council, left today
for Bradford, Rhode Island, for va
cation and he does not plan to return
to Kenosha untiN after the first OF
August, unless the >other members OF
the council reach an agreement on a
manager. "My going away is not go
ing to interfere with the election of a
city manager" declared President Al
ford this morning. 81 have told the
other members of the council that II
they are able to pick out man that
suits them that / will come back in
order to join with them in the election.
We have not been able to agree as yet
on any one of the candidates and l
have no reason to see any immediate
decision. Il know that some Of the peo-
pie and some of the candidates, too are
getting anxious about this matter, but
we are all going to be satisfied that
we are getting the best possible man
before any appointment is made"
New Applicants Being Considered.
Mr.. Afford said this morning that
the members of the council were still
receiving applications for the position
and that the new applicants were given
the same consideration as those who
had come into the race for the office
earlier in the game. Mr.. Afford would
not admit that the agreement had been
practically reached for the employ
ment of manager. The rumor about
the city said that the members Of the
council with one exception had agreed
upon an appointment. Mr.. Afford did
not confirm this Statement but he did
not deny it. 1t was said, however, that
the council was anxious for unani-
nous agreement on the appointment
of a city manager if such an agreement
can be reached in reasonable time.
Railway Matters Later.
Mr.. Afford stated this morning that
he had been considering with the mem.
bers of the council the need for street
railway extension in the city and that
this matter was to be taken up or
his return to Kenosha. While it il
admitted that no plan has been worked
out along this line, it is said that some
suggestions have been made and thai
these suggestians may open the way
for further extensions of the lines. L
is not expected that there will be any
trouble of any kind over the coming o.

Shore and Milwaukee lines to Kenosha

KUEHNL TOSSES
GLOVE IN RING
Candidate for District At
tOrney Gives His Concep-
ton of Duty.
ENFORCE LAW SANELY

John F. Kuehnl, who is the only can
didate in the field for the Office of dis
trict attorney with the exception of
the present incumbent of the Office,
Frank S. Symmonds, has already come
out with his candid statement of what
the Office calls for, and commenced his
active campaign for nomination on the
Republican ticket 1t is clear from
the, tenor of this statement that the
young attorney will have two slogans
that describe his faith, one "prosecu-
ton and not persecution" and the 9TH
err, "sane enforcement of the law"
Nothing to Do With Prohibition.
Mr.. Kuehnl points out, without
mincing words, that it is not within
the province of the district attorney
to make political capital of the pro-
hibition issue, and that prohibition as
c$usus belli has nothing to do with
the Office of prosecutor at all. "He
must enforce the law as it stands upon
the books; he cannot modify or change
! it, Again he emphasizes this point
IF view when he says, "the district
attorney has nothing to do but follow
his oath of office He swears under
oath to enforce the laws, and no one
should take the oath unless he intends
to carry it out in full"
However, the attorney-candidate also
makes it clear that he does not believe
in trumped up and fiimsy charges,
which he sums up in the word "perse
cution.~
Ridiculous charges brought against
citizens should be avoided" he says,
"because it only breeds contempt for
of money"
Throws Down Gauntlet.
Mr.. Kuehnl's letter to the public
reads as follows:
81 am candidate for district attor-
ney on the Republican ticket and wish
to solicit your support at the coming
primary election. A safe and sane en-
forcement of the law is what this
county needs. Prosecution >and not
persecution must be carried out to the
letter with the least expense to the
taxpayers. Ridiculous charges brought
against citizens should be avoided be-
cause it breeds contempt for law and
costs the countya great deal of money
prohibition has nothing to do7with
the Office of district attorney. He
must enforce the law as it stands upon
the books. He can not modify OF
change it. If the people want the law
changed, they can do so through leg
islation by electing men to the legis
lative branches of our government who
will modify the law or submit the re;
peal of the eighteenth amendment di
rectly to the people of the severa
states.
"The district attorney has nothing
to follow but his oath of Office. HI
swears under oath to enforce the laws
and no one should take an oath unless
he intends to carry it out in full. NJ
prejudice or bias for or against Law
should even enter his mind in deter
mining whether or not a warran
should be issued If he permits hi
prejudice to rule his action, he will
bring unfounded charges against per
sons and thereby endanger life an
, property and liberty of our citizen
| and add expense to the county"
