A NEW PREDICTION
Superintendent of Chicago & Ke-
nosha Ry. Says That it Will
be in Operation Nov. /
GRADING WORK HAS STARTED

&
| C. r. Fredericks, the new superin-
tendent Of the Chicago, Kenosha &
Milwaukee Electric Railway company,
has infused some new life into the
company and to such an extent that
Tuesday he came out with the an
tnouncement that his instructions were
to have the cars running between Ke-
nosha and Waukegan by the first Of
next November. To this end the
superintendent has advertised for
fifty teams to be used in the grading
work for the road and the contractors
at Zion City who are to have the work
in hand have been ordered to begin
building both north and south from
Zion at once. Mr.. Fredericks stated
that he would put to work ali of the
men that he could secure In this
neighborhood, but he would not in
wade Chicago and tempt trouble with
the Transfers union.
He stated that the company is now
thinking of two or three routes into
Kenoaha but that none has yet been
definitely decided upon.
In couple of days this route will
be decided upon and at once a gang
of men will be set to work grading
from this city to meet the line now
being built north from Zion City.
Much Material on Hand. u
The company now has SO, O00 ties on
hand in Zion City to be used in build
ing the line and 1900 tons of steel
rails are to arrive at Zion by the mid
die of June. The reason for taking
the ties, rails, etc., to Zion is that the
company there has it's only switch
tracks leading from the North West
ern to their right of way and the
heavvy supplies can be easily trans.
fdrred by that route.
A big gang of men is now at work
at Zion City building bridges and al
SO laying tracks.
A fact not generally known in the
city is that Mr.. Fredericks is the gem
eral uperintendent. of the Chicago
& Milwaukee. Electric Railroad COM
pany and Edmund Des Jardius is the
superintendent Of transportation.
