ed in the treasurer's Office" Levitan

country banks in loaning the states
money in order to facilitate loans, in
agricultural communities to relieve
financial deficiency in some farm COM

The cost of grain ration for dairy

LOCAL HARBOR
HAD Big YEAR
Figures Show Growth of
Tonnage at KenOsha
Harbor in 1923.
MANY AUTOS SHIPPED
254O Autos Shipped from Ke-
nOsha by Water During 1923
Setting a New Record.

Value of freight handled by boats
in the Kenosha harbor in the year
1928, reached a record total of
$12,OOo,oOO, according to statistics
gathered by City Manager G. M. Os-
born and made public today. This
shows the increasing growth OF lake
shipping in Kenosha, also demonstrat-
ing the Importance of the further i'm
provement of harbor facilities here to
provide for even greater development
of this method of shipping.
The big jump in the tonnage came
from the increase in the shipping Of
automobiles by water from the Keno
sha docks in 1928. In 1921 very few
automobiles were shipped by water
from Kenosha; in 1922 the number
had reached several hundred and in
1928 there were a total of 2,540 au-
tomobiles shipped on boats from the
Kenosha harbor.
Other Tonnage Increases.
Other tonnage also increased dur
ing the year. The records show that
approximately $4,000 tons of freight,
exclusive of automobiles, were shipped
by water from the Kenosha harbor in
1928 as against $4,000 tons in the
previous year. The automobile boats
carried autos almost exclusively as
shown by the fact that only 200 tons
of other freightage was taken by them
from the Kenosha harbor in 1923.
The value Of the freightage in 1921
was set at 100000 as compared
with $12,0o0,0o0 for 1928. No data
was available for the year 1922.
See Continued Increase.
1t was pointed out that there was
every reason to expect continued
increase in lake shipping in Kenosha
and that this city would soon be again
back en- the lakes as one of the lead
ing harbors as it was in the early days
before railway transportation took
such big part in the carrying of
products in and out Of Kenosha. An
other steamship company has secured
dockage in Kenosha and will soon have
it's. boats entering the harbor. The
companies which have been operating
here for several years, have increased
their service so that they are meeting
the demands of the lake shippers for
prompt and regular service.

PROMISES AID
FOR KEN0SHA
Senator LaFOllette Also
Agrees to Back Keno
sha p. 0. Plan.
KNOWS OF NEED HERE

Senator Robert M. LaFollette in a
letter received by City Manager G. M.
Osborn this morning, assured Kenosha
that he would cooperate in every way
in securing favorable action in the
senate on the Cooper bill now in con-
gress providing for an appropriation
for a new postoffice building in Ke-
nosha, to be built in keeping with the
civic center project in this city. Sew
eral days ago City Manager Osborn
sent to both Wisconsin senators and
to Congressman Cooper, complete
outline of the plans for the new post
office for Kenosha, accompanying
these with a letter urging the solons
to support the bill now introduced by
Congressman Cooper to authorize the
new structure.
Congressman Henry Allen Cooper
from this district has shown great in
terest in the project, having intro
duced bill in the House of Represen-
tatives to start legislation for the
erection of a new postoffice building
in Kenosha.
Both Senators to Aid.
Last week Senator l. L. Lenroot sent
work to City Manager Osborn that he
would cooperate with Representative
Cooper in the project. Senator La
Toilette has now also promised to
support the bill in the senate.
Both senators stated that they were
familiar with the situation in Kenosha
and knew that this city was badly in
need of more adequate postoffice ia
cilities and that likewise the govern
ment could i'll afford to long delay
the erection of new building here.
The letter from Senator LaFollette
received this morning together with
the support promised by the other two
solons brings high hopes that the
proper legislation will be pushed rap
idly in Washington and that the new
postoffice will soon become reality
here.
