MUNICIPAL COURT
HAS BIG TRADE
Report Shows Heaviest
Volume of Business In
Last Quarter.
FINES ABOUT $4,000
Liquor Offenders and Others
Bring the Cash In;
City Gets $4,000.

By doing about $1,000 worth of bus
mess during the quarter which closed
on July /, the municipal court puts
itself on the map as a more than self
supporting" institution. During the
three months of April, May and June
there was turned into the court for
various fines and so forth, $9,412.67
for the city of Kenosha and for the
county of Kenosha as collection Of
state fines and so forth, the sum of
$12,189.65. This latter sum repre-
sented the amount of $6,46S.46 collect
ed in justice criminal court, $6.75 in
justice civil, Sal. S5 in circuit civil
and $5,577.99 in the circuit criminal
branch of the municipal court.
The report for the quarter which
has just been completed by Deputy
Clerk Frank Bennett and signed by
Clerk John L. Wattles, shows the ma
ture of each offense, the names of the
defendant, the fine, officers fees and
court costs.
For New Police Station.
A percentage of the fines collected
under the enforcement Of the city pro-
hibition ordinance will go to the build
ing Of new police station, and the
amount collected in the municipal
court for the three months shown
marks a considerable stride taken in
this direction.
The money turned over to the city,
however, represented fines imposed for
speeding, disorderly conduct, intoxi-
cation, violation of the traffic rules
and other ordinances in addition to
the fines imposed for violation of the
new liquor ordinance.
But the state cases, brought to trial
by the police and sheriff for viola
ton of the state laws, still represent
by far the bulk Of the work in the
municipal court, as shown in the re-
port just filed.

lected during the three months under
