PLAN BIG PROGRAM
Judge Slater, Mayor Hoan OF

Scheduled for Addresses.

Formal announcement of the plans
for the annual convention of the Wis
consin County Boards association to
be held at the Kenosha county court
house, March 17th-19th was made to-
day with the making public of the
program for the three days gathering.
These programs, sent out by r. w.
Davis, president of the association
and chairman of the county board of
La Crosse county, have outlined pro-
gram which will discuss several top
les of interest to all of the county
boards of the state.
1t had been hoped at Kenosha that
the convention could be held in Ke-
nosha county's new courthouse and
the meeting was delayed until as late
in the winter as possible in the be-
lief that this might be done. When It
became certain that the courthouse
could not be completed until late in
the summer, the date was set for
March. While the new building will
not be completed, it is so well adj
vanced that tour through it for the
visitors will be one Of the features of
The cqnventioa.
Expect Many Visitors.
Representatives from every county
board of supervisors of the state are
expected to attend the convention with
possibly $50 in all in attendance. Ar
rangements are being made by the
committee of the Kenosha county
board in charge of the convention for
the entertainment of the visitors, one
of the big problems being to provide
quarters for them for the three days.
The local committee consists Of Su-
pervisors William Bacon, N. j. Rod
ers, Jacob Hermann and County
Clerk Charles Holderness.
