2 JtnesvUle Dally Gazette Tnesday. Jan. 12. IMS Obituaries "Trial" on Fee Increase (Continued from Page 1) ciflloQ of the Supreme Court In vrfaicfa a ruling was made against West Allis which attempted to increase its monthly fee from $5 to $10 as Janesville was proposing' to do. lite $5 monthly fee has been in effect here since 1954.

If increased to $10, it would mean ao Increase in the city's income from $11,000 to $22,000 per year. The increase is already provided for in the 1965 budget adopted last November. Steil also pointed out that the traOer courts do not receive the same municipal services that regular residences do in that the courts must provide and Aiaintain their own roads, including snow removal, no individual trash pickup, and having to furnish their own street lighting. Compromise Figure Suggested After testimony was completed, it appeared that the council might arrive at a compromise figure ot $7.50 or $8 per month as offered informally by four members, including Mrs. William Henke, Richard Rosenberg, Verne Burrows and Dale Hen- Ding.

However, that met strong objection from John Fredendall, who said the $10 was proposed as a fair figure. "If we allow ourselves to bo prejudged or arbitrated by the people we are dealing with we are going to set a dangerous precedent for future councils," he said. He later made the motion to set the preliminary determination at $10 per month and the vote was 5-2, with Leland Bell, Henning, Miller and Burrows siding with him. Rosenberg and Mrs. Henke voted against that.

Now the matter will be proposed in ordinance form at the Jan. 25 meeting with public hearing on it at that time. WilUconF. Warner William F. Warner, 35, 615 Johnson life resident of Janesville and a Chevrolet foreman, died shortly before noon "Hiesday in Mercy Hospital.

As to dogs and cats, the ordinance states that not more than two of each may be kept on any lot or residence, except business places such as feed mills or In outlying farm districts.

Under the ordinance, the city sanitary inspector determines when a nuisance exists with regard to the various animals. Another ordinance ijitroduced Monday would prohibit the accumulation of unsightly debris that would tend to depreciate the property values in an area. This is designed to eliminate the collections of old automobiles, trucks, refrigerators or other appliances, on a nonbusiness property. The third ordinance will require that all drive-ins have a hard-surface parking area or to have the parking area treated to eliminate dust and iitt. Vocational School Urged of a committee to make a new study of whether Walworth County needs a vocational school was authorized by the county board this momtag.

The executive committee of the board will name five county board members to serve on the committee. TTiey will recommend five lay members to be appotated to serve with them. Action resulted from a talk to the board by Richard Manske, Delavan school superintendent, who spoke ta behalf of all county high school administrators. Manske said he was also speaking in behalf of 50 per cent of high school graduates who don't enter college, but go out In the world to earn a living without a "saleable skill" to offer tadus- try. "The closest our high schools are able to come to educattag them for earning a living is the typist training in our bustaess education departments," he said.

"Our electrical, shop and woodworking courses help them pick an area of taterest, but it is not economically feasible for any of Walworth County's small high schools to offer terminal training that will enable them to get jobs." Manske said there are 3,900 high school students in the coua ty, with student bodies ranging from 160 to 833. If a centrally located vocational school were built, he said. It would be possl ble to transport about 1,000 of the students two or three days a week for vocational classes. They would conttaue to receive academic tratatag In their own high schools. Such a vocational school would also be useful to older workers when their jobs are eliminated by automation, Manske said, addtag, "Predictions are that in the future man can expect to change his occupation four or five times durtag his working years because of the rapid development of new machines." Manske said federal aids now available might pay up to 50 per cent of the cost of a county vocational school.

He mentioned several funds which have been established for this purpose. "I have conservative views about federal aid to education, but until everyone agrees not to use them, we will be paytag our share into Washington, so we should take advantage of getting all we can back agata to enhance the opportunities of Walworth County's young people." Supervisor Harold (Pete) Kelley, Elkhora, recalled that another study of the need for a vocational school ended with a report in August 1962 that It would not be economical for the number of pupils who would be served. Kelley said he favored the new study, however. Franklin Walsh, linn, suggested that it would be better for the eastera half of the county to send vocational school pupils to Racine and Kenosha and the westera half to send them to Beloit and Janesville, "That way the schools would be large enough to keep pace with the changes ta tadustrial demands," he said. "But the vocational schools ta those cities have waiting lists of their own people," Manske said.

Jack Fagan, Delavan, who ta' troduced Manske, moved for establishment of the study committee. P. L. Lusignan, Lake Geneva, seconded the motion, which was adopted unanimously. Machinery Purchase Under Investigation JEFFERSON The Jefferson County Board's tastltutlons committee is tavestigattag the purchase of machinery for use at the county home.

George! solve Shadow Lawn School Dis- DELAVAN The Walworth County school committee voted unanimously last night to dis Striegl asked corporation counsel Harold Eberhardt If he should pay for machtaery bills stace there was a question as to whether the machtaery was purchased or rented. "Purchase of machinery cannot be disguised by calling the payment rent," Eberhardt answered. "If the trustees (of the county home) pay more than the usual and normal rental for machtaery, they would be givtag away county money or else making a purchase without following the normal purchase proce dure. If they elect to rent machinery, the deal must be a rental payment, pure and simple, and not a combination of rent, interest and principal combined tato one package." The institutions committee agreed to pursue the matter further. In other action, union contracts were approved with highway and county home employes.

The only change involves 40 days of sick leave instead of the present 36 days. Also under the new contracts, any employe retained after six months of probation will receive an automatic salary increase. It was announced that Jefferson County received $166,800 as its two-year apportionment in federal aids for secondary roads. The money is available for 196667. Supervisors voted 40 to 8 to accept a bid of $23,650 for a four-wheel drive tractor loader from the Drott Tractor Co.

When asked why a $19,500 bid by Aring Equipment Co. was not recommended, highway committee members explained that the Euclid model offered by Drott had a new steering feature which provides greater safety and that the machine has a higher resale value. The highway committee was also authorized to buy a truck from Hlckey Motors, Jefferson, for $1,865 and three pickup trucks from Donahue Motors, Watertown, for $5,985. Trustees of the county home were authorized to accept a bid from the Robert L. Yoerin Milwaukee, for $18,020 for a flat work ironer.

It was announced Mrs. Charlotte Boyle, county speech therapist, has resigned effective Jan, 31, and that Patricia Nichols will fill the vacancy. The board was told that Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Kanow have given the county a stock certificate worth nearly $1,000 for development of Kanow Park near Ixo- flia.

Legislature Will Open Wednesday MADISON (AP) The 1965 Legislature, which will convene Wednesday politically divided and poised for the biennial battle to make ends meet, faces an additional challenge: a Nov. 1 deadline set by the Wisconsta Supreme Court to reorganize county boards. The Legfalatlve Council, a 15- member group compristag leaders of both parties, started the machinery Monday to change an 1849 law which the high court says runs counter to the principle of "one man, one vote" as enunciated ta the U.S. Constitution. The council unanimously rec ommended for introduction in the new session a proposal that would reorganize county boards and limit theh- size accordtag to population.

Sen. Walter Hollander, R- Rosendale, chahrman of the council's county boards reorganization committee, said the plan would meet the Supreme Court's requirements and "preserve some semblance of representation for small communities." Under the plan, supervisory districts would be created "in such a manner that each supervisor shall represent as nearly as practicable an equal number of persons, but considering such other factors as continuity of ex- isttag town, village and city Itaes." A day after the 132 senators and assemblymen return to the State Capitol, Republican Gov. Warren P. Knowles will address a jotat session of the Legislature. Knowles, faced with budget requests totaling $896 million, wiU outltae his program to the lawmakers the 11 a.m.

address. Even before the Legislature tackles the difficult budgetary problems, other and will arise ta the form of bills. Its only expected action will be the official discard of all pending legislation. Food Handling School Opened Restaurant, hotel. Institutional and other personnel handling food for public consumption, will attend a series of four sessions of a school for food handlers conducted by the State Board of Health.

He has set up elaborate displays illustrating attractive and sanitary equipment and food preparation and serving techniques.

Stress is placed upon "good business" as well as health safeguards in proper )reparation and serving of food, le said, because good sanitary practices also attract customers. In addition to commercial personnel, the classes are for those ta charge of food preparation and handling for institutions, school lunch program personnel, etc. Those attending will be presented with certificates of award.

Wolfer, 18, 1028 Center was arrested Monday night on a charge of speedtag. Officers said ho was traveling 48 miles per hour in a 2S-mile zone. He is to aopear ta municipal court Jan, 10. trict and attach it to Delavan Joint District 1 effective July 1. Action followed a public hear- tag ta Shadow Lawn School at- lended by some 125 persons.

The school Is east of Delavan at County Trunk and Mound Road. It includes five classrooms, a kitchen, gym and three acres of land. It serves 122 children ta grades 1-8. Jack Cusack, Lake Geneva attorney and principal spokesman for objectors to attachment, htated Uiat a referendum would be sought if the merger was approved. A motion bv school committee member AUce Behlman to call a referendum died for lack of a second when the committee met to vote on attachment.

It was potated out after the session that if a petition for a referendum is received, voters ta the entire Delavan Jotat District 1, tacludtag the city and rural areas, would take part. The rural vote and city vote would be counted separately, and a majority ta each area would be needea for passage. Twenty-four persons spoke for reorganization at the hearing. James Holt, Shadow Lawn School Board president, told of the favorable attitude of State Department of Public Instruction officials. He said he was told at Madison that a Under garten-12th grade program for tiie Delavan area will eventually be brought about, by the Legislature if not by vote of electors.

Robert Gallup, former Shadow Lawn Board member, pointed out the additional expense ta- volved if the school decided to 10 on its own ta a future build- ng program. "Why spend thousands of dollars here and additional thousands ta the city when a merger is comtag?" Gallup asked. Mrs. Don August said it was impossible for Shadow Lawn to provide educational opportunities offered ta city schools, cludtag home economics, trial arts, algebra and foreign languages. Some persons said they felt children from Shadow Lawn were behtad city students when they reached high school.

Delavan Supt. Richard Manske, ta answertag claims that Delavan wanted only the additional tax base provided by Shadow Lawn, said Shadow Lawn equalized valuation was $7,424,100, while Joint District 1 had a valuation of $48,819,300. "Just who do you thtak is go- tag to pay the bill?" Manske asked. Cusack, who was among 12 persons speaking against the merger, said that stace origtaal petitions asking for attachment were filed, 118 of the 341 signers had changed theu: minds and signed a second petition. He said that another 185 persons signed petitions agatast the merger.

Cusack questioned whether Delavan persons who signed the petitions for the merger werft more interested in education or in getttag Shadow Lawn tax lars. He pointed out that Lawn has a debt of only $12,000, which will be paid by 1967, and that the district believes it can, build an addition consisttag two classrooms, a storage two rest rooms, a new boiler and plumbing. Later ta the meettag Mtinske said the present school tax. Shadow Lawn is $22.90 $1,000 assessed valuation, arid" that the rate would rise to if the district started a program. He said under the'' merger, if a million-dollar upper, elementary school were built, Shadow Lawn taxes would riM only to $36.55.

Some opponents to the merger felt that the school would its "personal touch." Mrs. seph Oleksy, Tom Ferguson, John Hopkins Sr. and Robert Svensen expressed dislike of "bigness" of larger school tricts. "We don't want to be taken over," Ferguson said. "We 'd lose our individual thtaktag." "This Is the last chance we've, got to keep our home Hopkins declared.

Hopkins also asked where Shadow Lawn 7th and 8th graders would attend school, and' when informed it would be Parjj School in Delavan foe a few months or a year, until a new' junior high is built, he said he' "wouldn't have my kids ta that fire trap."
