DOPLAYGROUNDS
LESSEN CRIME?
Juvenile Delinquency Rec
ords to be Compared
Next Year.
OTHER CITIES BENEFIT

AtIthe close of Kenosha's play
ground season, it is interesting to
note what other cities have accom-
plished with municipal Fairgrounds,
in lessening their juvenile dehnquen-
CIV. Kenosha can make no comparl-
son in its records this year and pre-
vious wears, because of the addition
of the probation officer, Miss Sibyl
Campbell. Next year, however, a COM
parison of the records will be inter
esting, to show just what degree the
supervised Fairgrounds betters the
morale of the city's childhood.
Juvenile delinquency in Sioux City,
Iowa. is showing a decided decrease
over the records of previous years, C.
H. Orpin, Juvenile officer declares. He
estimated that misdemeanors among
children have been cut down 20 per
cent in the last two years.
Better Moral Fibre.
Municipal bathing places, parks and
playground activities are responsible
for the better moral fibre of children,
Mr.. Orpin says.
Taxpayers seldom realize the good
investment that is being made by pro-
viding facilities for recreational &C
Invites which furnish an outlet for
the energy of the young" said Mr.
Orpin "Good, healthy exercise and
amusement leave the minds of the
children clear, and theresis very little
energy left for crime, plots, or in
clination toward misdemeanors."

BEGIN DITCHING
FOR NEW MAINS
City Laying Four Miles of
Water, Gas and Sewer
age Connections,
GET START ON PAVING

For the first time in more than five
years the city engineering department
are starting to put theory into prac-
tice in the paving of Kenosha streets.
Robert M. Smith, engineer, stated that
today gangs of men are starting on
the underground work on streets which
are to be paved next year.
The laying of the water, gas and sew
erage mains in the fall allows the dirt
in the filled in bitches to settle during
the winter. This prevents the crack
ing of the pavement. For years he
said, the department has been attempt
ing to get this work done, but never
before have been able to get head
start on the PAYERS.
Digging to A Miles of Ditch.
Between three and four miles Of
bitches are to be dug this fall Mr.
Smith said. When spring comes the
paving gangs will start on these streets
where Thea underground work is COM
pleted, while the city gangs will start
on another three or four miles of
bitches These also will have settled
by the time the pavement men are
ready to start on them late in the sum-
mer.
This summer the laying Of the I'M
derground work has been done just
