BUILDING BOARD IS
 PREPARED TO QUIT
Chairman WeXler DiSpleased at Attitude Of Common Council
INSISTS ON COOPERATION
Commission Will Ask For Transpors tation for Inspectors-Niayor Pao-
 nessa Will Veto Salary Increase
 Given Meat Inspector C. R. Witte.

Chairman Israel WeXler of the
 building commission made 1t known
 at meeting of that board last night
 that he is displeased with the atti-
 tude of the common council toward the building commission and he urged that, unless the council shows more
 disposition to cooperate with the board, we all throw up our hands
 and quit"
 The chariman's remarks came
 when the matter of asking the com mon council to provide transportation for the departments inspectors came up for discussion. Members of the board expressed themselves as of the belief that the city would benefit if tine inspectors were provided with : means by which they could cover greater territory and it has been voted to ask the council to provide cars. The commissioners recalled the coun- cifs action several months ago when their request for an increase for the electrical inspector Was rejected without discussion on the council floor, and they expressed fear that once again the council would ignore the boards wishes.
 One of the inspectors, using his own car, covered II miles during the forenoon one day last week, Commis- sioner T, J. Quinlivan said. Figured at the rate of 10 cents q mile and maintaining this mileage through fhe week. inc cost to the inspector would be more than SIP week or nearly half his weeks pay.
 With tho building commission adopting belligcrent attitude toward the council and the fire commission having already made plans to dispu,e the councils power in the drafting of rules to govern that department. tho next session Of the city's governmental body is expected to be a very lively one.

PROFITS OF BOOZE
SUBJECT TO TAXATION
One Kenosha Man Reputed to Have
Made a Fortune Must Pay Tax
on $4,000 Additional.

The county income tax board of re-
view held an interesting session at
the county building on Thursday
afternoon at which consideration was
given 20 one of the ''reputed fortunes"
made by illicit dealer sin liquor dur
ing the years of 1919 and 1920. While
the proceedings of the board are held
to be Of confidential nature and not
made public, it ia known that in one
ease under consideration an assess
nlent Of $4,000 was made. This was
against the man who had formerly
been in the saloon business on Main
street and wko was indicted by the
local grand jury and served time.
The man appeared before the bonrd
and admitted rather generous earnings
as insult Of his dabhling in liquor.
Il is understood that the board has
under consideration the calling, of a
number Of other men who hsYe boast
cd OF having won large PROFITS from,
the illicit liquof trade. OF course no
list of the names will be given out
and the msn hit will know of it fist
hand when the income tax assessments
are made public. 1t was said TO be
not improbable that a considerable
sum will be added to the income tax
rolls by these arbitrary assessments
made by the board.

Brings Two Suits Against T. M. E.
r. & l.. for Injuries to Self
and Death of Horse.

Arthur j. Hooking, formerly of Ke-
nosha, has filed two suits in circuit
court against the Milwaukee Electric
Railway and Light company, seeking to
obtain $4,000 for injuries he alleges
he received when a street car struck
q horse on which he was riding, throw
ing both to the pavement and for ST.
600 for the death Of the horse. The
animal had its right rear hoof torn
off and it was necessary to kill the
horse. The accident happened on May
25, 1924, at 8 o'clock in the afternoon.
It is the contention of the plain
tiff that he, was riding his horse in
a southwesterly direction on Kinzie
avenue in Racine, being on the right
side of the street and to the west
Of the street car tracks. A street
car approached from the southwest.
The plaintiffs horse became fright
ened at street car and the plaintiff
alleges it became unmanageable. He
charges that the motorman was negli-
gent and careless, causing the car to
run into the horse, throwing it, and
the plaintiff to the pavement Mr..
Hooking alleges he received a com
minuted fracture of the right foot be-
sides other injuries as The result of
which he was confined to the hospital
for a long time.

CDR. Pavich has also had in his fam

one Of his great-great grandfathers
several centuries ago picked up in the
Holy Land while a soldier crusader in
that country
"The relic appears to be covered
with brass, although the owner says he
has never determined the nature of the
substance on account of its age. 1t
contains tiny wooden cross, claimed
to have been from the original cross
on which Jesus Christ was crucifed.
There are also crosses and bones of
the ancient holy men and many other
tiny relics of ancient Christianity. All
Of these are framed within the brass,
and covered with glass. A seal of
one Of the pope's more than 1000 years
old, the doctor says, lies between the
two brass covers"
