SAY TOO MUCH
Is TOO MUCH
Two Carnivals in Three
Weeks is Too Much
Says Council.
MAY ISSUE IT LATER

"Too much is too much" said the
council Monday evening as it refused
the application of the Kenosha Lodge
of Moose for a permit to operate
carnival in Kenosha during the week
of June 9th. In refusing the permit
the council pointed out that the AM
erican Legion more than a month ago
had been granted the privilege of
holding a similar carnival here dur
ing the week starting June 22nd and
that if both permits were allowed this
would mean that Kenosha would have
two carnivals within three weeks.
The council moved that the permit
be denied for June 9Th but that it be
granted for any time after June Goth.
It was explained that the council stood
ready'to grant the same privilege to
the Moose as to the American Legion
but that public policy dictated that
too many attractions of this nature
could not be booked within a short
period.
Peter Sorrensen appeared before the
council for the Kenosha lodge of
Moose, explaining that the carnival
was being staged to raise money for
the Moose building fund. 1t was stat
ed that the lodge had been offered q
contract by a most unusual group of
shows which had only this week va
cant.
Before giving any consideration to
the petition the council put to the rep
resentative Of the Moose lodge the
same questions which were put to the
American Legion before permit was
issued.
"Can the Order of Moose vouch for
the character of this carnival that it
will be decent and not offensive to
public morals?"
eyes," was the answer.
"Do they propose to operate gam
bling devices p
"No sir"
Offers a Compromise.
w. H. Afford, president of the city
council, pointed out the fact that it
was poor policy for all concerned to
issue permit at date SO near that
issued for the American Legion car
nival.
"If you will arrange to have the
Moose carnival at later date, I'll
personally give the Moose lodge a
check for $500 for their building
fund.-" said Mr.. Afford.
After the permit was denied, Mr..
Afford added, my proposition still
holds good"

London, Eng. - e.. The House
of Commons by vote of sos to % to-
day rejected liberal motion for a
vote of censure of the speaker the
right Honorable John Henry Whitley.
The motion to censure the speaker, q
very unusual proposal in the House Of

from the fact that it was made by the
liberal party of which tbs speaker Is

of the liberal party against the speak

BUILDING WORK
REACHING PEAK
Permits for $161, 71S Worth
of Construction Issued
In Week.
"a NEW HOMES BEGUN
And the work goes on!

And the work goes on!
Kenosha each week is setting an-
other record in building activity and
then when the next week comes along
the previous weeks record is shatter-
ed. During the week ending Friday,
May ga short week-according to
the report of the city building inspec-
tion department completed today,
ffty-seven building permits were
granted for construction work valued
at $161,71S, bringing the total value
of all construction work now in pro-
cess in the city of Kenosha to $5,1s1,
261-the highest point it has ever
reached in the history of the city.
The permits this week call for seven
flats and seventeen frame residences,
providing homes for twenty-sever
families when completed. The largest
single item in the report is $7s,8o0
for the frame residences. Twelve
frame garages will be erected for a
total cost of $2,525 and sixteen heat
ing plants at $9,53S, according to, per-
granted by the inspection de-
partment.
More Homes Than Year Ago.
The estimated cost of work COM
pleted during the past week is placed
at $31,235, making total Of $65S,l2o
worth Of construction work now oc-
cupied since the first of the year.
Homes completed during the past
week provide for seven families, maxi
ing a total so far for the year Of new
homes built, 131. This figure, it is
pointed out, exceeds the figure for the
same period last year at this time by
Al homes. The basis for the figures
is made on the number of families
provided for. And last years igures
were hailed as a new record in homo
building activity in the city of Keno
sha.
One of the most noticeable com.
ments which several visitors and dele
gates to the state convention of Odd
Fellows corvening here made on their
sightseeing trips about the city relat-
ed to the tremendous building activi-
ties now in process of completion.
These are taking home with them th
new city slogan-Kenosha, the city
homes.
