STREET PAVING
GROWING HERE
Kenosha in Two Years Es-
tablishes Record in Paw
ing Streets.
HOW IT WAS DONE
Analysis Shows that Work Was
Done at Minimum Cost,
Kenosha Saving Much.

Fifteen and seven tenths miles of
street paving in two years!
That was the paving program carried
out in Kenosha during the years 1922
and 1923, under the City Manager
form Of government establishing a
record for cities of this class in the
history of Wisconsin. All of the 16.7
miles of paving were ordered by the
city council after receiving majority
petition of the property owners on the
streets affected, requesting that the
street be paved. The city council has
approved of petitions for paving six
miles in 1924 and has received petit
tions for approximately two additional
miles to be constructed in 1925.
Kenosha is close on the heels of
Racine in this improvement. Racine
has been tagging behind for the past
two years while Kenosha has been
pushing forward If both cities carry
out the programs now proposed for
1924, Kenosha at the end of the sea-

nection with the international ali
races at Wilbur Wright field here
next fall, to be known as the pow
cred glider" contest, has been an
nounced by Dayton officials of the Ma
tional Aeronautic association, provid-
ed there are sufficient number of en-
trants.
The finance committee believes there
is a. large number of such devices now
being designed and built throughout
the country, and contest in which
the builders would compete would en-
courage future activities in this direc-
ton.
Prizes totaling approximately $780,
600 will be distributed to winners Of
the various races and the committee
expects, with such an amount in prize
money, that a representative number
of entrants from Europe will be en-
couraged to complete in the more i'm
portant events.
All costs of the race have been guar
anteed. 1t was reported by the com
mittee that about $150,000 has been
underwritten by a large finance con-
Germ, with Dayton money behind 1t
The races will continue three days and
arrangements are already being made
to handle 100000 people.

Crafty Money Getting
Plan Brings Rekard

Rome How to get MONEY without
working for it found original express
sion in Rome recently. Some men in
this city are ingenious, and not behind
operators in other countries in think
ing up ways to get lire quickly and
safely, from someone else's pocket in
to their own.
A handsome plate glass window in
a fine shop is shattered by stone.
The proprietor rushes out and finds
many hands pointing to small boy,
covering and afraid, and evidently
guilty, He grabs the boy and vents
his anger, lurid Roman words and
cuffs.
A well dressed gentleman, passing
by, reproves the store keeper. The
unfortunate boy puts UP a pathetic
tale, and afouses the interest of the
wealthy stranger who, out" of the
greatness of his heart, finally offers
to pay the store keeper for the dam
age, which has been estimated at 200
lire. He peels off 1000 lire note
from the top of thick roll, gives it
to the owner Of the shop, and gets
800 lire in change. The crowd melts,
the boy sinks away, the wealthy
stranger calls cab, and in the time
the storekeeper learns that the 1000
lire notes is counterfeit.

Racine.
Conform to Specifications.
The street paving specifications for
Kenosha conform to those used by
eighty-five per cent of the cities of
the country.
The City of Baltimore recently sent
out QUESTIONABLE to all the principal
cities of the United States to deter
mine what the standard paving prac-
tiee is in these cities. About $50 cities
replied to the QUESTIONABLE, and this
report shows that for asphalt pave
ments $3.50 of the cities use open
asphalt specifications, allowing either
natural lake or oil asphalts on an
equal basis.
The City of Kenosha specifications
are open specifications and conform
to the practice of this in $3.50 of the
cities.
Use Standard Specifications.
This Baltimore report shows the
majority of the cities using a sheet
asphalt, surface consisting of IL" of
binder and III" of top. This is the
pEdCIlCG VI sIHG Clby u ASlOsAd'
For the concrete base this report
shows that the largest group of cities
use a concrete base 6" in thickness
made of a mixture of 1 part cement,
8 parts sand, and parts broken
stone or gravel. The City of Kenosha
specifications require concrete base
6" in thickness, made of mixture of
1 part cement, 212 parts sand, and 5
parts broken stone or gravel. This
shows that the City of Kenosha con-
crete base is a stronger base by APP
proximately 1870 than the general
practice of a good many cities re-
quires. This stranger base will add
length to the life of the pavement.
The specifications of the City of
Kenosha also conform to the standard
specifications of the American Soci-
ETY. of Municipal Improvement, an AS
ISOLATION made up of cities for the
advancement of good city government
and practice.

Argentina Gaining
as Cheese Country

Buenos Aires As a producer OF
cheese, Argentina in the last decade
has made the greatest showing of any
country in the world, according to
Leon Estabrook, the American agricul-
tural expert who is temporarily serv-
ing the Argentine government.
Between 1913 and 1928, his statistics
show, the country's cheese production
increased 766 per cent. In 1910 Ar
gentina was actually importing cheese
while in 1922 the output exceeded "a
million kilos, sufficient not only to
supply the home demand but to per-
nit the expectation of 6,535,000 kilos

ums shows the streets that were paved
in Kenosha in 1922 and 1928, total
of 1877 miles of pavement laid in these
two years.
The price paid in 1923 was $3.50
per square yard for standard sheet as
phalt pavement, the price paid in 1922
was $2.70 per square yard, and the
price bid in 1921 was $500 per square
yard. This was for Main Street paw
ing and is probably 1920 or 1870 higher
than the ordinary resident street paw
ing would have cost that same year.
Paving Costs Have Dropped.
The cost of pavements in Kenosl
has shown considerable reduction dur
ing the past year This reduction ca
be traced to several causes. FRS
the large program of work undertake.
in 1922 and 1923 made Kenosha yer
attractive field for paving contractors
AS a result the competition was vi
usually keen, and lower bids wer
obtained. The adoption of open speci
fications for asphalt pavements in cor
formity with the standard and moder
practice of majority of the citie
has opened competition in Kenosha
many brands of asphalt instead of lin
iting it to one or two brands, an
this was one of the material cause
furthering the reduction in cost.
Then the establishing of a revoh
ing fund which permitted the city
pay the contractors monthly estimate
on material delivered and labor PEI
formed was one of the other feature
helping to reduce the cost of paw
ments.

BUsHY's SURPRISE

PUSHY SQUIRREL had. all his
- storehouses full. He was not
lazy, even if he was too fond of mis-
chief. After his work was done Bushy
began to look about, peeking into the
pantries OF all his neighbors.
Grandpa Squirrel lived all alone SO
of course he had to look out for his
stores and take care of his home all
himself, and such neat and tidy place
as it was quite provoked Bushy when
he peeked in through the shutters
and saw everything in apple-pie order.
Bushy's eyes began to twinkle. "Ill
have some fun" he said to himself.
Il will turn everything in Grandpa's
house topsy-turvy and / will hide all
his nuts and put stones in place of
them"
So the bad fellow went to work. He
upset everything in Grandpa's sitting
room first, and then he began on the
pantry. But Of course he could not
carry away all the nuts in one day,
so he didn't begin with those in plain
sight. He dug a hole under the pam
try and took the nuts that were stored
the deepest.
Day after day he worked, and by
and by he had carried off all of Grand
