MANY DISCUSS
ZONING PLANS
Property Owners Present
at First Hearing on
Zoning Ordinance.
SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE

The first hearing on the proposed
zoning ordinance for the city of
Kenosha was held on Tuesday even
ing in the city council chamber and
was a pronounced success.
Just what the council had hoped for
intelligent discussion of the zoning
plan with constructive suggestions
from the property owners of the city
was developed at the hearing when
more than fifty property owners from
that part of the city south of Eagle
street, Strong street and Seminary
street, were present to discuss the
proposed ordinance.
All who spoke expressed themselves
as in favor of the general plan of
coming; several suggestions were made
as to changes in working out the de-
tails of the ordinance as it affects
certain localities of the city; five
formal petitions were filed setting
forth these proposed changes in the
tentative ordinances, all of which
will be given careful consideration
by the council before definite ac-
tion is taken.
Explain Commissions Work.
Councilman H. E. Barden, as acting
president of the council, presided at
the hearing, explaining that the object
was to secure an expression OF
opinion from property owners regard
ing all phases of the zoning plan
R. S. Cooper, chairman of the city
planning commission, and Howard
Dennis, another member of the com
mission, spoke briefly telling of the
vast amount of work done by the com
mission and the exhaustive study which
had been made in the compiling OF
the tentative ordinance. The com
mission held 58 meetings and discussed
the zoning of the more than 1900
parcels of real estate within She
limits of the city.
"Zoning," said Mr.. Cooper, sis use

at the last session adding $500 aadi-
sie9al niles 10 the states trunk sys-
tenn, making total of 10000 miles Of

When men appointed to name the
roads which were to be added to the
system met, they discovered that the
only way to properly do the work was
to make a survey in each Of the couh-
tiles. This, the senator said, led 20
the tour of the counties.
Would Require 40 Years.
w. o. Hotchkiss, chairman Of the
highway commission, said that if Ke-
nosha county waited for the state and
federal aid funds to pave these roads,
the majority Of the men present would
pass on to their reward before the
work was completed. He said that it
would take between 80 and 40 years 20
get sufficient funds with which to do
the work, according to the present APP
preparations.
Figures compiled by the state show
that the average cost Of operating all
the automobiles in the state is about
III cents a mile" he said. "Now, the
question is, do paved roads pay div
dends to their investment? A survey
has been made that shows that the
operating cost on hard surfaced roads
is reduced more than / cent mile and
that the saving Of this one cent mile
will more than pay for the cost of the
roads in very few years, and for ever
after that saving will be clear profit.
"The people of this state can't afford
TO wait for the state to build these
roads from clear business standpoint.
| don't believe that any state legisla-
ture will ever screw their courage up
sufficiently to pass sufficient appropri-
ations to pave all the roads that should
be paved Immediately. The levying of
a tax which would meet the appropri-
alton would raise a storm of protest
which would take the dome 'of the
capitol. Meanwhile the people actually
pay money, indirectly, for the privilege
Of running their cars over bad roads.
License Tax $6,500,000.
"Under the new tax by weight meas
ure which was passed at the last ses-
sion Of the legislature, the average fee
per car will be $3.50 instead of So.

Oklahoma City-A temporary re-
straining order preventing the state
election board from certifying the
returns from yesterdays special cleo
ton, was issued in state district
court today upon application of coun-
sci for Governor ]. c. Walton.
The order was granted Immediately
after the executives petition was filed
before Judge Tom G. Chambers, Jr.
1t enj oins w. C. McAlister, secretary,
John P. Logan, "deposed" chairman,
Ira Mitchell, newly appointed chair
man, and Claude Baker, member, from
certifying the returns of "the pre-
tended election" to, the secretary Of
state. The action was brought by
Mr.. Walton as governor.
At the same time it was announced
by Campbell Russell, former chair
man of the state corporation and a
leader in the opposition to Governor
Walton, that he would file immedi-
ately petition for grand jury in
district court to investigate official
acts of the executive. Mr.. Russell
circulated the petition early today.
Charges Against Governor.
The petition, Mr.. Russell said, would
seek an investigation of alleged misuse
of public funds by Governor Walton,
and also would direct inquiry into the
governors actions in commissioning
thousands of special state police.
A former grand jury called upon
petition circulated by Mr.. Russell to
investigate the executives use of pub
lie moneys, was stopped by the mill
tary authorities who trained machine
gun on the grand jury room.
The charge of misuse of funds grew
out of the allegation that the governor
used state employees contrary to law
in checking signatures on the initiated
petition, approved yesterday at the
polls to provide a way for the legisla-
ture to meet without his call to review
official acts of state officers.
Hearing on an application to make
permanent the restraining order
against the election board, was set
for October 8.

Life Saving Work
Of Red Cross Corps
Wars on DroWnings

The insignia of the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps on the bath
ing apparel of men, women and
youths is seen everywhere at favorite
bathing places along the coasts, riv-
ers, lakes and ponds. In it's unrelent,
ing campaign to reduce loss of life by
drowning the Red Cross is making
constant Roadway The demands for
instruction from organizations in all
parts Of the country were SO numer-
GUS the past year that it was neces-
sary to more than double the staff of
Red Cross instructors. This work of
training for water life-saying showed
an enrolment of over 10000 volun-
teers enlisted for duty on patrol, for
rescue and resuscitation, all compe-
tent to instruct others in the standard
water-safety methods. The Red Cross
by request of the War Departm emit
gives water first aid training at the
United States Military and Naval
academies and in the military training
camps for reserve officers and civil
ians. The four cash prizes awarded
by the Red Cross last year for heroic
rescues were conferred upon two girls,
a boy and man, indicating that the
youths of the country stand well at
the top in conserving life along our
water courses.

10 DIS TIERS IN YEAR
ENLIST RED CROSS AID
Nearly $500, 900 Spent in United
States Greek Refugee
Work Completed.

For its preparedness to render re-
lief through effective and generous aid
to the sufferers from disaster the
American Red Cross is universally re-
garded as the one organization from
which response to appeal for help is
Immediate. In the last year, accord
ing to the annual report of the Red
Cross, its disaster relief operations
were carried out in Ito localities in
the United States. This work, with
activities carried over from the previ-
Gus year, required the expenditure in
the United States OF 1897, 468.04 by
the American Red Cross, its Chapters
and Branches. In the emergency fol
lowing the defeat of the Greek forces
in Turkey and the burning of the city
of Smyrna, which entailed the relief
of nearly 100000 men, women and
children, Red Cross National Head
quarters expended $2.605, $4,000. The
food distributed in Greece aggregated
$4,000 tons: garments. 100000; blan-
kets, 1850; new shoes, 5000 pairs;
medical, hospital and sanitary sup
plies, 304 tons. In the feeding of the
refugees there was listed upwards of
$4,000 children under three years Of
age.
The disasters in the United States
during the past year reported 240 per.
sons killed. 991 injured, 1881 rem
dered homeless. The total property
loss was estimated at $20,710.000.
Relief of suffering caused by disas-
ters of such magnitude as to over
whelm the resources of the communi-
ties in which they occur is fundamen-
tai to the charter Of the American
Red Cross. In addition to making ap-
preparations from it's treasury and as
signing trained personnel to relief
work, the Red Cross in disaster cen
tralizes and makes more effective re-
lief funds and supplies contributed by
the country at large.
Since 1881 the Red Cross has ad-
ministered more than $20,000,000 for
the single purpose of disaster relief.
That it may continue to accept the re-
sponsibilities which grave emergen-
cies place upon the American Red
Cross appeal is made for a nation
wide renewal of membership during
the annual roll call, which opens on
Armistice Day. November IL. and
closes on Thanksgiving Day, Novem-
Der 20.

membership enrolment and sent to
national headquarters In Washington
mounted to $60,216.54. while an addi-
tional s33,350 was forwarded for the
endowment fund Of the American Red
Cross. The high seas roll call in 1922
was an inspiring success. The Navy
signed on 1881 for the Red Cross and
the merchant ships 4,141. OF the to-
tai membership outside the United
States $500 are registered with chap
ters in foreign lands, the insular pos
sessions and dependencies.
