City Orders Machine
to Clean Sewer Lines
Attached to Fire Hose the Knife-Noz-
zle Will Cut Roots Which Now Must
be Taken Out by Digging up Pipe.

A device which it is believed will
save the city hundreds of dollars a
year was ordered on trial today by
Peter J. Hurtgen, director of public
works. For years roots have been
causing trouble by working through
the cracks, in the sewer pipe and clog
ging the circulation.
Several times each year it becomes
necessary to dig up certain lines of
pipe and clean out the roots. This is
an expensive as we'll as an inconveni-
ent job, because to get at these lines
it is usually necessary to go into the
street pavement and block off the road.
The new device is a nozzle which
can be attached to line of fire hose
and from the outlet at the man-hole,
started into the pipe. Holes are cut
in such a way that the water pressure
causes the nozzle to revolve and at the
same time to be blown forward. The
nozzle is equipped with knife which
cuts the roots as it travels

ACTION DEFERRED ON
TRACT INDEX PROJECT
Kenosha County Board Votes to Investigate the
Legal Angles of the Project Further
Before Taking Action.
SEEK OPINION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
Motion to Send District Attorney to Madison to Secure
Opinion on Situation Here is Endorsed
by the Board

proceed with plans for the installa-
tion Of tract index without securing
first an opinion from the attorney gem
eral on the legal points involved.
To Seek An Opinion.
District Attorney Symnonds is to
be sent to Madison to interview the
attorney general regarding the situa-
ton in this county. It is believed
that heretofore the opinion has been
handed down in a general way and
that the peculiar situation in this
county may give reason for an
opinion more favorable to proceed
ing with the work.
Friends of the tract index project
were rather disappointed because the
board felt constrained to delay definite
action until the January session but
they were also optimistic over the
attitude shown by the board towards
the project.
The board also passed at its ses-
sion this morning a motion that the
new building committee be instructed
to place a tablet. in the new court
house on which would be inscribed the
names of the present county board and
whatever else the new building com
mittee might see fit to place on it.
Want Elevation of Tracks.
Going on record as favoring imme-
date action to secure the elimination
of grade crossings of railway lines by
the elevation of the tracks in the city
of Kenosha, the county board unani-
mously adopted a resolution present.
ed by Supervisor Hermann calling on
the Chicago and Northwestern Rail
way company to meet the need for
track elevation in Kenosha Immediate
ly. The petition is one of those grow
ing out of the movement started by
the Kenosha aerie of Eagles as a
result of the death of Trygve Udstuen,
a member of the order, who was killed
in a railway accident recently.
The question of whether or not
damages would be paid to the con-
tractor building the court house be-
cause of the delay in turning over the
site to him at the time scheduled, was
brought up Saturday afternoon and
the board agreed to hear the request
of the contractor on Monday after
noon. 1t is alleged that the delay
forced the contractor to change his
plans and caused him no little expense.

Paying by Weight for Au-
tOmobile Licenses Will
Cost a Plenty.
HERE'S THE SCHEDULE
Secretary of State Sends Off
ciaI Schedules to Show
Weights of Autos.

Attention of Kenosha automobile
owners was called today to the change
in the auto license laws by communi-
cations from the Office of the secretary
of state, which department has in its
charge the issuance of licenses for
the operations of automobiles in the
state.
1t is not to be a cut-and-dried SO
affair this year and auto owners are
warned now to plan to meet the law,
which establishes a tax on automobiles
graduated according to their weight.
The fee starts at minimum of $40
and increases to 500 according to the
weight of the car.
Chief of Police Thad Logan receiv-
ed this morning a bulletin from the
Office of the secretary of state asking
that wide publicity be given to the
change in the law.
Must Find Weight of Car.
This bulletin explains that in order
to secure a 1924 license plate, owners
must secure an application blank on
which in addition to the accustomed
description of the automobile there
must also be statement as to the
gross weight, on which the license fees
are based. If these applications are
not filled out properly they will be re-
turned to the applicant, which will de-
lay the issuance of the license. Blanks
may be secured from the county clerk,
dealer or bank.
The registration fees under the new
law are given as follows:

TO PAVE NORTH SHERIDAN ROAD.

Petition was received by the city
council for the paving of Second ave-
nue. between Selma avenue and Salem
avenue, and also for the paving of
Orchard street between Rowland ave-
nue. and the North Shore railway. The
petitions were signed by the majority
of property holders on each street and
the council decided that thSre was no
reason for not approving the petitions
and that the streets would be paved
when possible.
The matter of paving North Sheri-
dan Road was discussed, petition for
which has already been presented to
the council. City Manager Osborn
said that the paving of the street would
not interfere with the widening prop
osition if the street were to be wild
ened on both sides.
"It will give better satisfaction
generally if the street is widened on
both Sides" he said, than to widen
on one side only. If this is done the
paving can go ahead. A thirty-six
foot street will take care of the traf-
fc there for some time to come and
the zoning ordinance will take care of
the set back so that the actual widen
ing can be done later"
The American Brass company asked
permission to build an underground
conduit 80 feet long between the side
walk and the curb line on Pleasant
street, which request was granted.

CORRECTION.

In a report made of the fines col
lected by police officers in the NUM-
cipal court, it was incorrectly said
that there was formerly a practice
that such fines, instead of properly
being turned into the city treasury and
police pension fund, went directly to
the officers. The situation, cleared up
after a grand jury investigation, re-
lated merely to the informant's fees
in gambling raids. 1t has always been
the practice, the police point out, that
the regular fees earned by police Of
ficers in the municipal court go to
the city to be divided for the police
pension fund and maintenance of the
patrol wagon.

LIMIT PROFITS
OF RISK FIRMS
State Commissioner Would
Limit Earnings of In
surance Companies.
STATES MUST ACT

Madison. Wis. - Capital invested in
fire insurance business should not be
permitted an income in excess of a
fixed per cent and should not be al
lowed to appropriate the income from
investments of unearned premiums, In
the opinion of w. Stanley Smith, state
commissioner of insurance. Commits
sioner Smith has prepared statement
on reasonable underwriting profit
which he is submitting to commits
sioners of insurance of other states
who will meet in New York next week!
The public and social nature of in
surance makes it impractical to per-
nit excess incomes from investments
in such, the Wisconsin commissioner
declares. He advocated legislative ac-
ton by states to prevent excessive
profits.
Warranted by the social nature of
insurance, the state has prescribed the
standard fire policy, has fixed the con-
ditions under which the business is
to be conducted and because of the
semi-charitable character of insurance,
has enacted and is enacting legisla-
tion concerned with rate making cal
culated to put the conduct of the
business on a cost basis and to elm
mate all profits therefrom," Commits
sioner Smith declares.
Expense Account Excessive.
HFrom a common sense point of
view. it would seem that an expense
charge approaching the amount of
loss or equal to or exceeding the
amount of loss is excessive. This is
nevertheless the fact under existing
conditions in the fire insurance bust
ness and it calls for remedy. If cap
ital is allowed to appropriate the in
come from investments of unearned
premiums, which are often many times
the capital invested, the return to cap
ital will of necessity be excessive.
''The purpose to be served deter
mines what is an underwriting profit
and the reasonableness of specific
per cent is also determined by the pur-
pose to be- served. If it is the deter
mination of aproper premium rates
and to provide a reserve for confagra-
ton, underwriting profit is the diff
ference between earned premiums and
interest earned on premiums and the
losses incurred during the period COW
cred by the earned premiums. Expens-
es of operating the business cannot be
considered until the relation of ex-
penses to cost has been fixed. 1 think
The expenses which might be legiti-
mately incurred in the conduct of the
fire insurance business should bear a
definite relation to the losses and that
the capital invested should not be al
lowed an income in excess of a fixed
per cent"
