R. ]. ARNOLD SUPERINTENDENT.
Chicago Man to Give His Entire Time to
the Management of the Line.-Llne
Proves Paying Proposition.

All the troubles between the Keno
sha Electric Railway company and the
city are to be settled at once and. Pres
ident Arnold, in conference with the
mayor, city clerk and city attorney
Tuesday, madesall arrangements for
the carrying out of every provision of
the franchise ordinance.
Mr.. Arnold agreed to put on force
of men at once to keep the streets
clean between the rails of the COM
pany's track and if it is found neces-
sary sprinkling carts will be attached
to the cars several times day. The
Main street bridge is to be repaired at
once, the work to be done by the city
and the railway company will stand
it's share of the burden of expense con-
nected with the work. There will be
no more trouble in regard g to the
running of the cars, as the company
has agreed to run three cars at all
times in the future and make the regu-
lar scheduled time on all points of the
line. No special occasions will be al
lowed to interfere with the regular
running of the cars and the people are
promised prompt and efficient service.
No double fares will be charged and
while the system of transfers is being
worked out and the arrangements made
for the printing of the transfers those
seeking transfers from one branch of
the line to the other will be taken care
Of. All that is necessary is for the
passenger to demand transfer and he
will be allowed to take the other car
without paying any other fare. In this
manner it is not possible for the pas
sengers to lose, but it is possible that
the company will be many fares short
through the work of schemers. The
transfers will be ready probably in an
other month.
New Superintendent Coming.
The line has proved such a paying
investment that after the first of
August r. ]. Arnold, one of the officers
of the company, will come to Kenosha
from Chicago and take entire charge
of the line. He will be the general
manager for the company. in Kenosha
and will give his entries time to the
railway. Willis Russell, who has been
in charge of the line since it was
opened, will remain in the employ of
the company and will have charge of
the construction department of the
line.
The new superintendent has been
connected with the street railway bus
mess for number of years and is en-
tirely capable to have charge of the
running of the line. With the coming
of Mr.. Arnold as superintendent it is
probable that the company will open
down town Office somewhere on Main
street.
Profits Exceed Expectations.
In speaking of the business that was
being done by the company Mr.. Arnold
admitted that the patronage was ex-
ceeding his expectations and that the
line was daily paying operating ex-
penses. It is even stated that the line
is paying a good interest on the
money and if the statements of people
connected with the company are to be
believed the line is paying! as well as
any electric line in this section of the
state.
Mr.. Arnold stated that the business
the company was doing warranted the
managers giving the people of the city
every possible accommodation and he
assured the officials.that there would
be no cause for complaint in the fu-
