Claim new CARS ARE COMING
Local Managers Of Company Insist New
Cars Should be Ready for Service in
Kenosha by Opening Month Of New
Year-Rsbuild Old Cars.

The officials Of the city of Racine
have informally appealed to members
of the common council Of Kenosha to
ioin with them in an appeal to the
Railroad Commission to secure better
rolling stock for use on the lines OF
the Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light Company in Racine and Keno
sha. The Racine officials will at once
send complaint to the commission
and it is desired that the commission
BE asked to make an examination Of
affairs in the two cities at the same
tine. Local officials of the railway
company have repeatedly asserted that
six new cars had been ordered built
for use in Kenosha and that they
would be of the latest pattern Fpay
as YOU enter" ears. This announce
ment was made many months ago, in
fact It was made fully two months be-
fore the Milwaukee company took over
the interests Of the Kenosha Electric
Railway Company and at that time it
was declared that the new cars were
in course of construction. Kenosha
people have waited in vain for the
coming Of the new cars. Many ex-
cuses have given the people cause to
doubt as to whether or not the cars
are to be Forthcoming. The prom e
of new equipment has for a great part
been responsible for the failure of
this city to make an earlier appeal to
the state commission to secure better
equipment.
The present cars in use in Kenosha
are even more dilapidated than some
of the cars in use in Racine. They
are sadly in need of paint and the pat
tern is Of the vintage of 1890. Some
of the cars used on the Kenosha lines
were brought to Kenosha after they
had seen years Of service in other cit
les. 1t has been the practice of the
companies to send cars we'll worn in
city business To- the smaller towns but
it is said that most Of the cars dis
carded by the Milwaukee company as
unfit for service in that city would be
totally unfit for service in Kenosha.
Thus far the common council has
shown no desire to take up the ques-
tion with the commission but it is
possible that the action of the Racine
officials will act as spur. Local
managers for the railway company
insist that the cars should now be in
service in Kenosha and that they are
expected to be on the tracks shortly
after the opening Of the new year.
1t is said that at that time the roll
ing stock that has, been in use here
win be sent in to the factory for re-
pairs and that the six new ears will
}be put on the regular runs. When
the other cars are rebuilt they will be
used for emergency service in the city.

were active in securing his discharge.

manufacturing plants carry similar
liability insurance. 1t is expected

TO WORK FOR WATER DEPT.
New Office Created at Demand of Man
ufacturers and Salary of oficial viii
me Pro-rated Among the Plants.
May Abolish City ONCE.

Edward j. Tanning who for the past
four years has served the city in the
capacity Of sidewalk inspector IS 70
resign his position as at tie meeting
of the Board of Water Commissioners
held on Wednesday evening Inspector
flaming was elected to the aew Office.
Of sprinkling inspector recently ere
ated by the water commissioners The
new official will have charge Of the
inspection of all sprinkling plants in
stalled in factories in Kenosha and
ne will be required to make regular
inspections to see that these plants
are in working order and that water
for use in them is not being diverted
to other uses. The Office was created
at the suggestion of the gnanufactar-
ers Of the city and with the under
standing that the salary Of II new
official is to be paid by these compan-
les.
TIE Board Of Water Commissioners
had ordered meters placed on OIL
sprinkling plants in factories and this
plan was opposed with vigor by the
manufacturers who claimed that the
installation of meters would result ia
the systems for sprinkling being weak
ened. The manufacturers held that
everyone of them was ready to pay
for every bit of water used in. legiti-
mate work but that it would he un-
fair for the city to charge the com
panies for water for sprinkling sys-
TENS as the protection of the factories
was properly the duty Of the fire de-
partment. 1t is expected that Inspec-
tor Tanning will give practically all
of his time to the inspection Of the
various sprinkling plants Nearly ev-
cry factory in Kenosha now has it's
own fire protection and the care of
these plants will be sufficient to Keep
a man busy all the time.
The election of Mr.. flaming TO this
new berth will probably result i'll the
aboishing of the position Of sidewalk
inspector. For some time many off
the aldermen have been in favor of
putting the work done by the insr &C.
tor into the hands of the street com
missloners and it is pretty certain
that no new official will be elected
during the winter months. When the
work of building sidewalks is well
under way again it is possible that
the city will employ a mar to work
as Inspector, but his time will be lin
tied.
Little business of Importance was
taken up by the commission outside
Of the election Of the Inspector. Many
of the patrons of the company are
still delinquent for water rentals and
the men in charge of the Office rave
been instructed to start at once with
the shut-off wrench.
The work Of shutting off the water
was started this morning and the de
linquents will receive no further warn
ings. Collections for the year are
slightly larger than in former years
but it IS not expected that there will
be any gain in the net profits On ac-
count of the. fact that large sums
have been paid back to consumers in
the way of meter rebates. Several
matters of Importance which were to
have been taken up at the meeting on
Wednesday were laid over on account
of the illness of Superintendent Bait
Ter, who was not present at the meet
ing.
