A way was opened whereby the city
of Kenosha may eventually have a
beautiful park along the shores Of
Lake Michigan north of the present
city limits as the result of a land
transfer made public today whereby
w. H. Afford, president of the city
council, purchased from Mr.. and Mrs.
q. G. Simmons more than one hundred
acres of valuable park land lying along
the lake shore just north of the city
limits.
In announcing the purchase it was
stated by Mr.. Afford that he would
offer the tract to the city at exactly
the figures which he paid for it plus
the carrying costs. The city at the
present time would be unable to ac-
quire the land without embarrassment
and the purchase was made with an
idea of bridging the gap until it was
more convenient for the city to take
over the property.
There is, however, no agreement
with the city and the officials may feel
free to either reject or accept the pro-
posal.
Offered Previously to City.
The tract in question is the beau
tiful park property which WIS offered
to the city more thru year ago by
/ the Simmons company in exchange for
certain "made land" at the end of
Wisconsin street, along with other
considerations, which proposal was
baked by the refusal of Governor
Blaine to sign the bill passed by the
legislature sanctioning the exchange.

A huge Roman cheese, big enough

stolen from the grocery store of An

The police are anxious to deputize

KENOSHA's FAME.

Did you know that Kenosha was
the first city in Wisconsin to adopt
the city manager form of govern
ment?
In 1922 Kenosha changed over
from the aldermanic form of gov
eminent to the city manager plan,
which last year saved the taxpayers
approximately 100000. That other
cities in the state are closely watch
ing developments here is evidenced
by the fact that last year GAINESVILLE
changed her government and next
year Two Rivers is to follow suit.
The city manager form of gov
eminent is simple application of
business principles to government.
Since this has been done the de-
velopment of the city has gone for
ward rapidly. Some of the adj
vances made last year are as
follows:
Adopted a city plan. Completed
the coming ordinance. Created
revolving fund to pay contractors
cash, thus saving approximately 8
4 per cent on the price of improve
rnents. Constructed nine miles of
pavement, three miles of sewers,
four miles of sidewalks and four
and eight-tenths miles of water
mains. Appointed policewoman.
Installed new police signal and re-
call system Established a motor
police patrol. Adopted new milk
ordinance. Purchased a motor street
sweeper which kept streets cleaner
and saved about $4,000 over old
method. Increased interest rates
on city deposits, bringing in an adj
ditional $4,000. Increased the har-
Dor facilities and leased two sites
to leading boat lines for shipping
purposes.
These improvements were car
ried through without increasing the
mill rate.

Cleveland-After a heated and
prolonged discussion, the resOlu-
tions committee today adopted the
World Court plank as presented
by the subcommittee on the as
surance that it had been written
personally by President Coolidge.
When the full committee began
consideration of the report of the
drafting committee, a fight de-
veloped over the tax plank and it
was finally agreed that there
should be no reference to tax ex-
empt securities in the platform as
submitted to the convention.
Several members suggested that
those who could not support the
general principles of the party
should leave it when Representa-
tive Cooper of Wisconsin first
brought in the LaFollette propos-
ais. Senator Norbeck interviewed
in the exchange to say that the
differences in the northwest we're
not between the party and the
leaders, but between the party and
the voters.
The next subject taken up was
the reference in the agricultural
plank to the use of the flexible
provision of the tariff act.
