NEW PLAN Is
MADE PUBLIC
Ordinance Changing the
Names of Streets in City
Is Launched.
SETS NUMBERING PLAN
Ordinance Also Establishes {
Plan for the Uniform Mum
bering of Houses.

Changing of the names of practi-
cally all of the streets of Kenosha
so that distance and directional value
would be shown by the names was
brought nearer to reaiization on Nom
day evening when the city council,
at it's regular meeting, by an unan-
imous vote, placed on its passage an
ordinance for changing the names of
streets and the method of numbering
houses in the city. The movement for
a change in the names of streets of
the city has been underway for many
months, having been launched by the
American Legion and endorsed by the
Kenosha Civic Council and various
other civic organizations of the city.
The ordinance, as it was submitted
to the council Monday evening and
placed on passage by it, has been
drafted after serious consideration of
all the plans proposed for adoption of
new names for the street.. of the city.
One Street Unchanged.
In the plan proposed in the ordi-
nance only one street in the city would
remain entirely unchanged, that thor
oughfare being Sheridan road, which
is to remain under this name. for the
convenience of the touring public. The
general plan suggested in the ordi-
nance, as explained more in detail be-
low, is that the north and south thor
oughfares shall be known as avenues
and shall be named alphabetically be-
ginning at Lake Michigan and each
two consecutive avenues be given
names beginning with the same letter
Of the alphabet. 1t directs that the
east and west streets be called streets
and be named numerically and con-
secutively. This is to be done on the
basis previously discussed with Prairie
avenue as Goth street; Middle street
as Goth street; Selma avenue as 18th
street and intervening streets in ac-
cordance.
Diagonal thoroughfares are to be
known as roads under the new plan,
if it finally becomes law in the city.
Salem avenue would become Roose-
Welt road; the Burlington road become
Washington avenue, and others accord
ingly.
1t also provides for the naming of
all short or disconnected thorough
fares running in general east and
west direction as places, and all short
or disconnected thoroughfares run
ming in general north and south di-
rection as courts.

KENOSHAN IN
RACINE TRIANGLE
Mayor Armstrong, Racine,
In King Solomon Role
In Triangle Case.
NO NAMES PUBLISHED

A Kenosha man, whose identity has
not been revealed is involved in a
strange triangle case which has been
put up to Mayor w. H. Armstrong
of Racine, to settle, according to an
article appearing in the Racine Times
Call on Tuesday evening. The article
shows how Mayor Armstrong has as
sumed the role of Solomon to pro-
tect the interests of the child in
volved in the case. He has refused
to settle the case involving a Racine
girl and the Kenosha man.. who is al
legged to be the father of the child
until he finds out whether or not the
baby has been regularly adopted in
Illinois as it has been reported.
The article continues as follows:
Last spring the mayor was ap-
preached by an attorney who sought
settlement of the case for 500 to be
paid the girl. Armstrong denounced
the attorney for his efforts to settle
the case for only 500 with no
thought for the future Of the child.
The child was born in July. Yes
terday another effort was made to
settle the case, this time for $4O0.
The mayor again refused to give his
consent. Then he was told that the
child had been adopted in Illinois
and that it, was now a member of a
prominent family which will rear it
as one OF their own children.
Armstrong indicated that he would
agree to settlement of the case with
out any money being involved, if
the child is properly cared for.
Money has no bearing or the set
Element of the case," he told the at
torneys. "Only one person should be
considered, the child.
off you can show me that the child
is now taken care Of will agree to
the settlement"
Consent of the mayor is necessary.
to the settlement of cases where no
marriage is contemplated between the
parties involved.
The Kenosha man was engaged to
another girl when information of his
relations with the Racine girl leaked
out. Although the Kenosha girl knew
of the situation here she refused to
release him from the promise, it was
said.

Monday afternoon for arraignment on
the charge of possession IF high ex-
plosives with intent to use in bur-
glarizing. Martin is AT and weighs
LOT pounds. His manner was more
like that of college graduate, his
English was perfect, and he gave evil
dence of having seen better days as
he stood before the judge.
But Martin has also stood before
other judges and faced similar charges.
He has served time twice in Illinois,
he admitted. He has leen arrested
many times before, he also admitted,

Before Martin was brought before
the court he lad asked to be shown a
law book. He evidenced a good work

of law book. 81 know I'm stuck"
he told Turnkey Ray Willems in his
cell in the county Jail. "If they play
me right I'll plead guilty. If they
won't, I'll be my own lawyer and I'll

squad had conversations With the man

that the nitro-glycerine found in Mar
