MAKE BIG PROTEST
People From All Parts Of the City
Make Strenuous Objections
to Plans Of Council
WANT RESERVOIR FILLED UP

An indignant protest is being regis
tered among people from all parts of
the city against the action of the Com
mon Council in insisting in keeping the
old fire reservoir at the corner Of
The business men in the neighborhood
are almost unit in the demand that
the old cesspool be abandoned and
filed up and it is possible that a petit
tion will be sent to the Council demand
ing that such action be taken. Many
of the members Of the Council were
opposed to the action of the body in
ordering the old reservoir kept OPEN
but it has been defended especially
by Aldermen Pirsch and Stemm, who
declare that it should be reserved as
a protection against fire. These alder
men have urged that the reservoir
might prove a salvation for the bust
ness portion of the city in case of a
big fire and they declare that had San
Francisco had such reservoirs at the
time of the recent earthquake the city
could have been saved. This rather
unusual view is not taken by many
men of the city who are in favor Of
better sanitary conditions in Kenosha
opd tbaca man x11oc+o No +;roo -, Joo1on
ing that to keep the old reservoir open
lis to keep a menace to the public
health in the very center of the city.
The old reservoir has not been used
in twenty years and it is the opinion
of the city engineer that it will never
be of any practical value to the city
DR.. George F. Adams, president of
the Kenosha County Medical Society,
was asked for an opinion on the action
of the Council in keeping the old cess
pool open this morning and he said:
"Were it not for the fact that the
action of the Council is tragedy from
q o6h1V1lJ oeQAup O1uG II WUulu Dt
huge joke for the old reservoir could
never be of any great value in case
of fire."
City Engineer Moth has done moth
ing but receive protests against the
action Of the Council during the past
few days. 1t will cost the city in the
neighborhood of $500 to make it pos
sible to pave over the old cesspool
and then it is most probable that with
in couple of years the people of the
city will demand that it be filled up
The old reservoir could be of little
value as a protection against fire as it
could be pumped dry in twenty
minutes and it will be almost an i'm
possibility to fill it up again if the
water system of the city was disabled

TO TEST WIRELESS
Ry. Co., to Have Wire
less instruments for Railway Use

less instruments for Railway Use
Plans are being considered for the
establishment of wireless telegraph
plant on top of the new Northwestern
station in Chicago. The wireless
will be part of system between Mil
waulzee and Chicago which may be
established on an elaborate plan as a
supplement to the long distance tele-
phone and the telegraph between the
two points.
The Northwestern company will soon
have between four and six tracks for
main line trains between Chicago and
Milwaukee A passenger train is now
operated between these two points
practically every forty five minutes and
the freight traffic is enormous. When
the new station shall have been finish
ed the suburban trains, of which per
'centage go to Milwaukee, will have
plenty of track room.
Several Of the electricians favor
experimenting with system Of wire
less telegraphy that will connect
main office in the new station with
branch Offices in every suburban city
and town along this road, with the
object of accommodating commuters
and booming suburban business. The
idea of the management is to electri-
fly all three branches of this road out
Of Chicago, which will mean that
fares may be reduced and more
trains operated. The wireless station.
with the electrifcaticn and great
searchlights to all parts of the city will
be unique features of the new depot.
The first story work of the station
is approaching completion and archi-
tects say that the building will be
finished next June, or six months be-
fore the expiration of the contract
time.
