old chief.
Complaints are coming
daily to the Police Department from property owners who do not want their
neighbors' chickens in their yards. There is an ordinance against chickens

letting the spring rains clear the street.
The South Kaukauna Creamery was found to be on
fire early Tuesday morning by a passerby. He immediately sent in an alarm to
the fire department which in a short time had the fire under control. Owner
Hubert Fassbender appeared on the scene to survey the damage. The operation of
the creamery suffered no interference but carried on as usual.
A Kaukauna girl, aged about eighteen, is

The city has a crew of
men at work on the former city hall which was presented recently by the city
council to the Kaukauna Post of the American Legion and the remodeling of the
building so as to make it convenient as a clubhouse and assembly hall.
The Combined Locks Paper company has purchased
the Peter Berghuis farm comprising one hundred and thirty acres near the mill.
Among the changes which will result is a viaduct being put across the railroad
tracks thus rendering the highway safe from railroad accidents.
