Ksnosha Electric Railway &C.
Begins Tearing Up Track on
North Side of Elizabeth St.
RUSHING EXTENSION WORK
Ashland Avenue Line Has First Car on
It This Morning and Track is
Being LAID With Record
Breaking Speed

In keeping with the order Of the
courts handed down some time ago, the
Kenosha Electric Railway Company
this morning began the work of remov-
ing the north track which had been
laid on Elizabeth street more than a
year and half ago and the action of
the company comes as probably the
closing chapter in one of the biggest
railway fights ever known in Kenosha.
Manager Loughridge this morning said
that the action was being taken at the
order Of the court and that after the
track was removed an effort would be
made to reach some agreement with
the property owners in regard to the
operation of the single line with cut
off at the corner of Elizabeth and West
Main street. 1t is not thought that
the property owners ON the street will
make any great protest against the
operation of the single track and it is
expected that the company will shift
this track to the center Of the road
way and begin the operation Of cars
over Elizabeth street within short
time. The fight over the double track
was first waged before the Council and
then taken into the Circuit Court
where the decision was against the
Frost Company. When the hearing Of
the case came up in the Supreme Court
no one appeared to defend the rights
Of the company and the decision Of the
lower court was affirmed.
The work Of building the extensions
is not being delayed any on account
of the work for the Elizabeth street
line. Ashland avenue north of Mar
ket street saw it's first street car early
this morning. One Of the cars of the
company was run over the portion of
the track which is being installed and
from the rate the work is being car
ried forward it looks as if it will be
possible to operate cars on Ashland
avenue within the next three or four
days. In a single day-o real track
laying the company completed the
track as far north as the switch track
Of the Chicago and Northwestern and
this morning the crossing of this line
was put in. There seems to be a
~; foo1;prc +bo 4rxvo
panies and the work was put in under
the supervision Of the Northwestern
officials. The work of building the
track to the north of York street will
probably take little longer as it will
be necessary for the company to make
big fill between York street and
Grand avenue. The trolley wire has
all been strung for the Ashland avenue
extension and provision was made fol
the turn outs of Market street this
morning.
! The hardest task before the con
struction crew is the crossing of the
Northwestern tracks on Grand avenue
There will be seven tracks to cross at
this point and both companies will
lclosely watch the installation of the
crossings
| Manager Loughridge is having hard
time figuring out just row the cars will
be operated, but it is probable that he
will have this worked out in salts
factory manner by the time the exten-
sions have all been completed.
