TO EXTENDTHEM
Water Commissioners Decide on
Extension Of Many of Water
Mains to the Suburbs
MILES OF PIPE TO BE LAID

People residing in the suburban
parts of the city are to have the beue-
fits of the Kenosha city water before
the end of the present year, as at the
regular meeting of the Board of
Water Commissioners held on Tues
day evening plans were made for the
extensions. Two car loads of pip
for extensions are now on the way Id
two more car loads were ordered
Tuesday night. The rapid growth of
the city is making it almost impossible
for the commissioners to extend the
mains rapidly enough. The extern
sions provided for at the meeting of
the commissioners will include mains
on Quinton, Strong, Linden, Ever
green, Bronson, Lyman avenue,
Pleasant Place and West Grand Ave.
With the opening of Rice Park a
large number of petitions have been
received for the extension of the water
mains to this new territory, but It is
possible that the people building
homes in this section will be forced to
wait until next fall for the water
mains. Many applications for SER
vice are on file at the office of the
commissioners, but it is almost inn
possible to get the materials and the
workmen to lay the mains. The mains
ordered at the meeting Tuesday night
will be more than a mile in length
and will furnish water to several
hundred people.
The new stand-pipe is now practi-
cally completed, and the waite will
be turned into it within a few DAYS.
It is expected that the stand-pipe will
have the effect of bringing a more
steady pressure on all of the mains.
and that it will in short time save
its cost to the commission. With the
standpipe taking care of emergency
pressures it will not be necessary to
run the pumps at thesCentral Station
at such high tension, and something
will be saved in the coal bill paid by
the City Water Company.

PoIIson tuesday. thirds
Of Population for Him
ELECTED A SCHOOL BOARD

Overseer Voliva proved his suprem-
acy in Zion City Tuesday by the sue
cess Of his ticket in the election of
members of the School Board.
Out of 1885 votes cast the candi-
dates receiving his Endorsement OBJ
tanned 800, indicating that about two
thirds of the population of The city
are true to him.
For the first time in the history Of
the city political methods were used
at the polls. The election was unique
in several respects and proved the
most exciting that the former Dowie
followers have ever had.
Deaconesses of the church were
pressed into service by Voliva to cleo
tioneer for his candidates and proved
themselves able politicians. Station
ing themselves at various points of
vantage, they buttonholed the voters
as they approached the polls and
exerted every influence to lead them
to vote for the Voliva ticket. Car
riages were also used to take cripples
and others to the voting places.
The independents also had force
of workers and the contest waxed
warm at times. Wordy arguments
took place and the quiet streets of
the little city we're thrown into tur-
moil.
Those who we're elected as members
of the Board of Education we're Over
seer H. D.. Brasefeld, president; Jas.
Brister, l. J. Thurston, Mrs. Ella
Keller, Walter Rockefeller and Geo.
Chenoweth. Brister is negro.
The election was held as a result of
the separation of the schools from the
church, made necessary by insufficient
funds. With the placing of the
schools under state supervision a
Board of Education was necessary,
the members Of which were chosen
Tuesday.
An independent convention was
held recently at which ticket was
put into the field. Voliva was not.
however, satisfied with the nominees
and Sunday announced the names of
the six persons who we're successful
Tuesday. He urged that hearty sup
port be given them as it was neces.
sary that the Board should be in
sympathy with the church.
