TAX MONEY NOW
COMING SLOWLY
Slump i'm Payment of City
Taxes Found After the
Early Rush.
SOLVE BOND PROBLEM

J,
Tax money is not rolling into the
city Golfers any too fast to suit city
officials according to the statements
made today, both by City treasurer
Lauer and City Manager c. M. Os-
born. Since the early rush which
greeted the launching of the collection
of the city taxes a slump has set In
and many taxpayers appear to be wait
ing until the last moment to get under
the wire and prevent the payment Of
a penalty.
In the first few days after tax col
lections started almost 100000 was
paid in at the office of the city treas
urer and hopes ran high that the rush
at the last hour would be avoided.
Since that time, however, the daily
average has decreased perceptibly un-
til the total now is probably but little
in excess of $575,00O. This, however,
has been the history Of tax collection
in Kenosha, slump always following
the rush at the first, the latter being
accounted for by large : payers, who
realize the situation ard are willing
to pay early to aid the city.
Have Solved Bond Problem.
Enough money has, however, been
collected to enable the city to solve
the bonding problem and save an ex-
pense of more than $500. The state
law stipulates that the city treasurer
shall during the period of collection
of taxes give to the county bond for
the delivery of the county share of the
taxes on the date set by law. In pre-
vious years the banks have furnished
the bonds but the banking laws made
it impossible for them to continue this
practice.
City Manager Osborn evolved the
plan of placing the first 100000 in
escrow in the bank for the county,
making the securing of a bond I'M
necessary. In addition the city will
secure interest on the amount paid in
escrow.
Last Day Is Approaching.
January 81, is the date set by the
law as the last day for the payment
of taxes with the stipulation that
after that date a penalty will be at
tached. If the taxes continue to be
unpaid the property is listed as de-
1inquent.
City officials are hoping that Keno
sha taxpayers will not wait until the
last moment and thereby make the
work of the clerks doubly hard

THIRTEEN PASTORS

The year 1924 promises to be signl-
fcant in the history of Kenosha
churches. st. Mary's Danish Lutheran
church will celebrate the fiftieth an
niversary of its organization on Tues
day January %. January "a, 1874, fifty
wears ago, several Danes met together
with the Rev. Adam Dan of Racine,
for the purpose of organizing a
Danish Lutheran congregation with
free will donations.
They realized that even though
their number was small, it would be
necessary to have their own church
home if they should succeed They &C
cordfngly bought the old Congrega-
tional church located at Park street
and Ashland avenue, which they sold
again in 1888.
In the same year they built a new
church on Grand avenue and Congress
street. This church was remodelled and
enlarged in 1895 at an expense of 49,
42908. In 1918 this church was sold,
and the following year, the present
church on Rowland avenue and Strong
street was built at a cost of about
$4,000.
Has Large Constituency.
The congregation now has over 400
commitment members. The Ladies
Aid society has a membership of $50,
and the mems club of rs. The Sunday
school has an enrolment of over 200
children, and 90 teachers.
The church choir at St. Mary'0 de-
servedly has become known not Snly
among the Danish Lutheran churches
throughout eastern Wisconsin, but is
considered one of the best unpaid
choirs in the city.
Thirteen pastors have served the
congregation during its existance The
first three-Revs. A. Dan, O. L. Kirke-
berg and T. H. Lyngby served the
congregation until the fall of 1886. Az
that time the Rev. p H. Miller was
called as resident pastor and since
then the congregation has maintained
q residential pastorate.
Other pastors who have served the
congregation are: Revs. N. P. Simon
sen, C. H. Fechtenburg, H. J. Dahl
strom, j. Borggaard, c.. Hansen, N. P
Lang, A. S, Nielsen, P. L. C. Hansen
and the presnt pastor, /. M. Anderson
Anniversary Celebration.

tion will celebrate it's fiftieth ami
versary. Supper will be served at Six
o'clock. The first pastor of the con-
gregation, the Rev. A. Dan, who is now
serving the st. Stephan Lutheran
church in Chicago, will speak at
eight o'clock A general invitation has
been extended to the Danish people of
the city to attend both the supper and
the services,
The original plan of the committee
in charge was to have opened the
celebration with the dedication of the
new pipe organ, which the choir is in
stalling in the church, on last Sunday
But due to the delay in the install
ment of the organ, it was necessary Il
~--.poae inis part of the celebration
together with g concert by the choir
and an organ recital by Mr. Vantine
Of Milwaukee. This part of the plan
has been postponed until the week OF

Mass meetings, torchlight pa
rades, dinners and luncheons were
in preparation for carrying the
campaigns down to the final wire.
The three presidential candidates
continued their schedule. Presi-
