KENOSHA NEWS (Wis.) Sept. 11, 1957 Find Jobless Pay Frauds cases of fraud in connection with unemployment compensation benefits are being processed here Dist. Atty. J. B.

Molinaro said the cases were brought to his attention by Harold T. Roehrborn, investigator for the Wisconsin Industrial Commis- sion. Illinois Residents All of the frauds involve Illinois residents, who collected unemployment compensation here though they held jobs in that state. Four of the persons are from Waukegan, three from North Chicago, two from Chicago, and two from Zion. It is contended by the commission that a total of $3,476 is involved in the frauds.

The individual amounts range from $936, for a Waukegan man who allegedly collected illegal compensation for 40 weeks, to $108. A' stew of the men have made minor repayments. No Warrants Issued Since no warrants have been issued yet, the individuals were identified today. Dist. Atty.

Molinaro said he first plans to contact each of the persons, giving them a chance to make restitution before warrants are issued. The 11 cases represent the first mass effort here by the state in recent years to trace down and prosecute compensation frauds. Some time ago, one man was convicted in this county for the same offense, Dist. Atty. Molinato recalled.

Shaffron at Builder Session Joseph E. Shaffron, local realtor and builder, left today for San Francisco, to attend fall director's meeting of the National Association of Home Builders. It begins tomorrow and ends Sept. 17. The board of directors, of which the Kenoshan is member, represents 40,000 members of the NAHB, will explore all of the new regulations flowing from the new housing legislation passed by the recentlyadjourned Congress.

Shaffron said one of the important phases of the meeting will be the "tight money" situation. Throughout the country, the lending institutions either refuse to buy per cent paper make such stringent requirements of the veteran is almost impossible for an average veteran employed industry to meet them, Shaffron declared. The new regulations on FHA which reduced the required payment did not seem to do much good, Shaffron said, as the increase of one-fourth of one per cent in interest increases the monthly payments to a point which the average industrial worker cannot meet. The home building industry will try to solve these problems at this meeting because the effect of the tight money is beginning to hurt and will result in unemployment in the industry, Shaffron emphasized. He represents the RacineKenosha Home Builders as a national director and the Wis consin State builders as India aims at introducing free and compulsory education of children up to 14, by 1960, New Delhi reports.

Village Board Discusses Roads TWIN LAKES Members of the Village Board, in their September session here, received accepted the resignation of Civil Defense Director John Indrika who indicated that the press of private business prevented him from devoting further time to the assignment.

In another action, members of the village board condemned a residential building in Twin Lakes Park, following a report by Building Inspector Elmer Winters that the structure is unsafe for habitation. The village clerk was instructed to. notify H. Lawrence Hastings, of Kenosha, owner of the building, that the structure must be razed or removed from the property within 60 days. The village board men also voted changes in the sewer system plan affecting six parcels of property.

The changes were made in the plan to protect pavements on county trunk roads. In the course of the routine session, control over roads in two subdivisions of the village took up major portion of the meeting. L. V. Fischer, president of the Twin Lakes Park Improvement association, ap: peared at the meeting to reiterate a protest against a board resolution through which control of the subdivision streets was assumed by the village.

Fischer, in his appearance, said that he felt the disagreement over the resolution could be settled without court action and pointed out that Mount Moriah Subdivision, formerly reported as landlocked because of the Twin Lakes Park Subdivision, actually has access to the streets under its description "Block Five, Twin Lakes Park." Another street problem, which sees residents of Muellers Twin Lakes Estates asking village to take over the management of their streets, was discussed and action on the matter was delayed, pending a report on the possibility of assessing the area for paving and grading work that will be required. The board also discussed the village taxation program involving a change from taxation on an equalized rather than assessed valuation. Under the proposed change, the village would secure a broader tax base for larger borrowing power and a lower interest rate. Assessor W. B.

Bartells was instructed to confer with representatives of the school districts in the area and with County Clerk Richard Lindgren on the taxation change. The board withheld action on the purchase of a crawler type tractor for the street program and received and accepted reports from Frank Platts, road committee chairman, and H. E. Wisdom, finance committee chairman. Dial 7-5121 for Classified Ads.
