LOGAN-SCHWARTZ
GET NEW TERMS
Osborn Appoints Leaders
for Department of Pub
lie Safety.
STEVENS TO REMAIN
Will Continue to Serve as City
Assessor under the De-
partment of Finance.

There is to be no change in the lead
ership of the police and fire depart
ments under the city manager form, as
this morning City Manager C. M. Os-
born re-appointed Thad Logan as chief
Of police and John Schwartz as chief
of the fire department. Both will be
directors of the department Of Public
Safeyt. The civil service provisions
covering the men in the departme
remain in full force under Kenosha's
new form of government and it is not
expected that the naming of heads of
the departments will bring any consid-
cradle changes in the makeup Of the
personnel of the departments.
At the same time City Manager Os-
born announced that John W. Stevens
will remain with the Department of
Finance in the capacity of city assessor.
Mr.. Stevens has been in the Office
of assessor for many years and he has
proven his worth to the city. His
plans for work have had the complete
sanction of the State Tax Commission
and he has shown an intelligent work
ing plan for handling all problems of
assessment.
Chiefs Came from Ranks.
The action of the city manager in re-
appointing Chiefs Logan and Schwartz
meets with general approval, as both
of these leaders in the Department Of
Public Safety have made good in Office.
The continuation of them in the Office
is of especial isltere - the men in the
two departments on account of the fact
that they came up from the ranks.
Chief Logan was called into the
"front office" with the retirement of
the former chief of the department and
he faced hard condition in the re-
organizing of the force He brought
to the task willingness to work and
a willingness to regard the law rather
than custom as his guide. He has
made long strides toward perfecting
the organization of the department.
He has under consideration at the
present time many plans for better
ment of the department of Public
Safety and these plans are now being
considered by the city manager. The
close harmony which has existed be-
tween Chief Logan and the city man
ager has given assurance of excellent
results.
Schwartz One Of the Boys.
Chief Schwartz has won high place
in the department on account of the
fact that he was just one of the "fire
boys" when he was placed in the Of
flee of chief. He has been of great
value in the department on account of
the fact that he had the view of the
men who served under him. Under his
directions many improvements have
been made in the department and he
has been able to get maximum results.
The two chiefs will have complete
charge of the Department of Public
Safety.

InQuiring Reporter
TODAY'S QUESTION:

What, in your opinion, is the hard
est job in Kenosha? Editors Note:
The question for tomorrow will per-
tain to the easiest job in town. Watch
for it.
ANSWERS:
]. Long, 858 Prairie avenue: 1t is
pretty hard to decide just what is the
hardest job there is in Kenosha. How
ever, l should say that the man that
works in the rolling mill has about the
hardest. The position is one that is
very dangerous and also very detri-
mental to the health. The heat is
very hard to stand.
Emery Dazy, SIC South street: About
the hardest job that there is during
these days is trying to borrow money.
1t is very hard to borrow little
money these days. People are keep
ing all their money to buy necessities
for themselves. Then, too, after
Christmas people haven't got any
money to loan.
w. A. Seiberlich, $50 Division street:
/ haven't had many jobs in this town
so it would be pretty hard to tell
from my own experience. l think, how
ever, that the hardest job there is in
town is job in a foundry. The work
is very hard and dangerous. The heat
is terrific and breaks down persons
health.
Oliver Patch, Antioch, Illinois,:
What is the hardest job there is in
Kenosha? Well, I've been over to the
tannery and judging from appearances
would say that the hardest was
cutting the raw flesh from the hides
before they were tanned. That is q
job that is very sickening on account
of the awful smell that comes from
the hides. It is very detrimental to
health.
