Common Council Con- mittee Ready To Swing Axe On Peti- tions Expected Next Month.
Allowance for Police Uni forms Also to Be Reject ed Unless New Accept able Plan Is Outlined.

Few, if any, pay increases will be recommended it the salary commit- tee of the common council pursues it's present policy and maintains the stand that, generally speaking, there Is no need for further boosts in the wages of city employees at this time.
 The stream of requests for pay in- creases which has been flowing into the office of the city clerk during the past week, preparatory to hear l ings after the December meeting of the common council, will probably | be checked by this announcement. 1 Councilman Thure Bengston, chair man of the salary committee, shares this belief with other members of the committee.
 | Together with the petitions for raises, an application of the police department for an allowance for uniforms Is reported to be slated for rejection unless the minions of the law offer a more practical plan than that submitted last year. Last year for the first time, the policemen re- Iquested the city to buy their uni- forms and part of their equipment. Several plans were submitted, but
 none apepaled to the governing body and all were rejected. One Ischeme suggested provided an al- lowance for each officer; while an-
 other budgoted the expense In one
 lump sum from which policemen
 might draw when, In the opinion of
 the chief, they needed new equip
 ment.
 Members of the salary committee
 today expressed willingness to give
 a committee of the police depart ment hearing if they have any new plan to offer. Chairman Bengston does not favor the uniform idea as = now planned. IL is his belief that the city government should give ' whatever 1t feels disposed in the way
 of salary increases, but should not

 exception of such isolated cases at
 could produce evidence of an entire
 ly changed set of circumstances. .t As yet the police commission ha, e received no request for a pay in 5, crease for uniform allowance. A 0 meeting Of the board will be helt '- next Tuesday evening and at tha o time it is expected either or botl E will be asked. As was the case las T. year it is likely the patrolmens re

Butler Says Opinion
Is Against Dry Laws

New York City = The tide of
public opinion has definitely turned
against prohibition, in the belief of
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia university.
Last weeks senate debate started by
Senator Edge of New Jersey, was the
beginning of what will be successful
movement to reform "the present in
tolerable situation" he thinks.
Voluminous correspondence on the
subject, he said, in a letter just made
public, showed that thousands of men
and woman who had been sincere pro-
hibition;fts have changed their views
and are asking leaders to engage in a
movement to reform the present laws.
DR.. Buffers letter was written to
Mrs. Victor A.. Seggerman of Atlantic
Highlands, N. j., and contended that
"to drive prohibition out of the coun-
try has become a moral issue"
The violation OF Fundamental and
righteous laws in the futile and law
breaking attempt to enforce foolish
and untruthful law" he wrote, is "the
most immoral undertaking on which
any government ever embarked"

ers.
If Christianity is impractical and
unattainable as the Jews feel it is, DR..
Wise told congregation in Carnegie
hall, it is because Christians have
failed to live up to its teachings. The

tinued, from code of ethics I'M

WORK HARD FOR
NEW POSTOFFICE
City Managers Office Pre-
pares Report Showing
Need Of Building.
SENT TO CAPITOL

When it comes time for congress-
men at Washington to vote on the
bill, which Congressman Henry Allen
Cooper has introduced for an appro-
priation of $450,oOO for the purchase
of site and the erection Of a new
postofice building in Kenosha, they
will have had put before them the
situation which exists in Kenosha,
which makes the new building an abb
solute necessity here.
This was made certain this morn
ing when City Manager C. M. Osborn
announced that he had prepared a
pamphlet, copies of which are to be
sent to Washington, one for congress-
man Cooper and one for each of the
Wisconsin senator's, Senator /. R. Len
root and Senator r. M. LaFollette.
These pamphlets include series of
photographs which show the progress
which has been made in the develop
ment of the civic center project here,
thereby revealing the part which has
been set aside for the new postoffice
building in this project. These pic
lures show graphically how the city
of Kenosha and the county of Keno
sha have Joined in this project by the
erection of the new high school build
ing and the new courthouse and by
the purchase of the court which is to
be situated between these buildings
and upon which the proposed new
postofice building would face.
A review of the situation shows
conclusively that a $450,000 post
office building is needed here to be in
keeping with these plans.
The pamphlet also shows the big
increase in postal receipts at Keno
sha, showing that Kenosha's claim for
a new building is entirely warranted
from that point of view.
1t is hoped that the Wisconsin sol
ons will use these pamphlets to push
Kenosha's rightful claim for new
federal building during the present
session of congress.

Fog Horn Disturbs
KenOsha's Slurnber

Kenosha residents were under the
impression their slumbers had been
disturbed during Saturday night and
Sunday morning, by the new cleo
trio propelled, intermittent fog horn,
on which installation began at
the lighthouse at the end of the pier
few months ago, but they were in
error. The groan which came from
the lake at intervals from some time
after midnight and lasted until noon
Sunday was from the auxiliary fog
horn at the lighthouse.
Lighthouse Keeper Charles E. Young
gives out information that the auxili-
airy horn, gasoline motor driven, was
used because the larger, electric horn
is not yet connected up. In fact, it
will be few more days before the
large horn is in commission. The heavy
f&g which descended on the lake shore
Saturday night and maintained a
blanket until noon Sunday, brought
the warning signal into use to pro-
tect lake shipping.
1t is explained it gave Kenosha resi-
dents a little chance to slumber be-
cause the wind happened to be just
right to carry its doleful tines in
shore.
