Receivership for Frost interests
May Delay Work Of Carrying
Out Kenosha Contracts
PROPERTYOWNERS
Frost Was to Have Aided Materially
in the Paving of Market
Street and Ashland
Avenue

Notwithstanding the IacC GnaC a. y.
Frost has withdrawn as receiver for
the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Road he has been urged to remain
as the operative manager of the road
under the receivership and it is thought
that he will accept this position under
the receivership and that the lines will
be continued in operation on practical
ly. the same policy that has prevailed
since they were first opened for traf-
fc. The receivers are planning to
make a trip over the road this after
noon or Monday and Judge Grosscup
who made the receivership possible has
given orders that steps be taken as
soon as possible to complete the road
into Milwaukee so that it will be pay
ing proposition.
There were no developments in the
receivership yesterday save in the fl
ing OF a large number of notes against
Frost which were secured by the bonds
OF the Electric Railway Company.
These notes had been given to bankers
in Chicago for the purpose of securing
the completion of the road to Racine
last year.
The charges brought by Charles
G.. Dawes against President Frost are
being investigated and it is possible
that Frost will decline to accept the
position of operative manager of the
road until after some report is made
in regard to the truth or falsity of these
charges.
The receivers for the company held
their first meeting on Friday and it
was decided that the road would con-
tinue in operation. It is also stated
that a decision was reached not to take
up any of the companies in which Frost
was interested save the ones directly
mentioned in the receivership. Under
this ruling the Kenosha Electric Rail
way Company would not come under
the receivership in any way and it will
be continued in operation as before
1t is possible however that Mr.. Frost
may meet with some trouble in secur-

sions planned in Kenosha and it is
feared that these extensions may have
to be abandoned There are number
Of plans for paving in the city which
Frost is interested notably, the paving
of Ashland avenue and Market street
On each of these streets the work of
paving was to be done during the com
ing spring, but it is feared that it will
be impossible for Frost with a receiver
ship to fight to find money for this
work. The receivership may result in
work in Kenosha being delayed for g
year or even several years. The people
Of Market street were very anxious tc
have the work done this year and had
| it been done there is no doubt but that
Frost would have carried out his end
of the bargain.
1t is just possible of course that some
arrangement will be made for carrying
on the work in Kenosha as the fran
chises in this city are regarded as most
valuable and it is not thought that the
company will let them slip out of Their
hands if there is anyway to keep them
intact. It is pretty certain that moth
ing. will be done on the work in Keno
sha until President Frost can get the
tangle over the through line straighten.
ed out in some way.
