WHO'S TO PAY
THIS $4,000 BILL?
Kenosha Assessed $4,000
for C. of C. Building at
Washington.
NO ORGANIZATION HERE

Kenosha was rather informally
awakened to the fact that it had been
assessed $4,000 as it's share for the
erection of the new building of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States now being being erected in
Washington. The information came
in a letter received this morning by
Secretary Conrad Shearer of the Keno
sha Manufacturers association, from
D. A. Caldwell, secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce of Wausau, Wiscon-
sin, which organization has been as
sessed at $4,000.
Secretary Caldwell states that he has
been informed that ''the Chamber of
Commerce Of the United States of Am
erica has assessed Kenosha quota
of $4,000 as its share in the new
building"
Had Heard of Venture.
Several years ago Kenosha had a
Chamber of Commerce of it's own
which was affiliated with the national
organization, but now that this or
ganization has ceased to exist, there
! is some question as to who should
be expected to take the responsibility
of meeting the quota assessed" on
this city. The Retailers association
and the Manufacturers association in
Kenosha have been also affiliated with
the national organization but not in a
close enough relation to be assessed
in this method.
1t was expected, however, that some
steps will be taken to make a reason
able payment to the support of the ma
tional organization.
The assessment carries with it, of
course, no binding force merely acting
as a suggestion as to what the direct
ors of the national organization ex-
pect to secure from Kenosha.
4 Other Cities Object.
! The letter from the Wausau secretary
indicates that many cities of the state
are not accepting the assessments lev
led against them. Madison was as
sessed $4,000 and agreed to raise
$4,000. La Crosse and Manitowoc are
assessed $500 and $4,000 each and
other cities accordingly. Wausau is
awaiting reports from other organiza-
tions before announcing what steps it
will take

Dusseldorf Representative Of the
German magnates failed to appear this
morning before the control commission,
sending word they had decided to obey
the instructions of the Berlin govern
ment instead of the French orders as
to coal deliveries, thus placing the next
move squarely up to the French occu-

German magnates, however, seemed to
be eptomized in remark made by
Herr Thomas, representative of the

Madison, Wis. - A report from a re-

Manamy, nationally known railroad ex-
pert of Washington, D. c., will be ap-
pointed to the Wisconsin railroad com
mission by Governor J. j. Blaine to

Mr.. McManamy was formerly prac-
teal railroad man, and is at the pres.
ent time claim expert for the Inter

lnQuiring Reporter
ToDAY's QUESTION:

Do you think Kenosha has sufficient
fre-fghting equipment?
THE ANSWERS:
James Cowan, Adams street, Sim
mons employee: The equipment and
men that we have at present is very
efficient indeed. However, think that
we could have little more. Another
station on the Northwest side of the
city would be a good Improvement.
M. Hahn, Jenne street, clerk: think
that there ought to be another depart
ment on the south side Of the city, for
instance, one on Sheridan road near
the cemetery. This could cover all the
southeast side of the city. At the
present time that part of the city does
not have sufficient fire protection.
G. Yonts, Prairie avenue: | recently
read in magazine that Kenosha has
one of the best fire departments for its
size in the country. However, think
that it ought to be enlarged somewhat
in order to supply all needs. At the
Kemper Hall fire they had to call in
Racine.
C. Gascoigne, Rowland avenue: The
fire department evidently does not
have enough hose to supply all its
needs. This was shown at the recent
Kemper Hall fire. They have enough
equipment otherwise, and in my opin-
ion our firemen are very competent in
deed.
W. J. H. Milwaukee avenue: I am of
the opinion that Kenosha does not
have enough equipment for city of
it's size. The present apparatus is not
enough to cope with the fires that are
apt to happen in the city
