EVANSTON OFFERS Her HELP
Illinois City Which Has Just Secured
Much Data in Regard to Cost Of
Filters Offers Facts to the Council
Of Kenosha.

With q view of getting all of the
information possible before the cues
tion Of building q filtration plant is
submitted to the people the members
Of the common council are being urged
10 take immediate steps to secure bids
for such plant in the city with a
view of giving the people some idea
Of the exact cost Of the plant and its
operation.
The special committee on filtration
which recently made a report to the
city secured figures from but one COM
pany. This company estimated the
cost Of a filtration plant for the city
at $4,000. Men representing other
filtration companies have declared that
different types of filters could be built
IN Kenosha and some of them have
placed the figures as low as $4,000
f,l a filter which would give Kenosha
eltsl e. if not pure water Of course
it is very probable that the council
would follow the suggestion Of it's
special committee which has given a
great deal Of time to the Investigation
Of the question. Figures from other
companies would however throw a lot
IF light on a subject that is little
understood by many Of the people.
The vast difference in figures on fl
tration plants seems to leave great
margin for investigation. The alder
men have been invited to take adj
vantage Of the experience Of the city
OF Evanston in securing the erection
of filtration plant. Evanston has
sold bonds to the amount of $1S0,00C
and the work of constructing the filter
will be started within a short time. It
is probable that Evanston could furnish
Kenosha with a lot of useful as well
as interesting information. Alderman
w. III. Knapp, who had an important

part in the work at Evanston, is also
interested in Kenosha and he has
furnished the members Of the Kenosha
council with report of the special
committee in Evanston Of which he
was member
The plant to be built in Evanston
is just about the size of a plant sought
in Kenosha and there is little doubt
but that this city could save hundreds
Of dollars in SECURING facts taken from
the experiment at Evanston. As the
question Of filtration or no filtration
is to be decided by the voters at the
next city election no time should be lost
IN getting all the information possible
In regard to the proposed plan.

room for these tracks without seeking
additional right of way.
It is said that the company in plan
ming these big switch yards has an
eye to the future and that il is the
plan of the company to use its best
efforts to locate factories on the land
between the two cities. This is re-
sar}ed as one of the best pieces of
land for factories in the country and
it is said that several big plants are
already considering propositions to
build factories. The building of the
great switch yards viii insure to fac
tories all along the route perfect
switching facilities.
The work of construction win begin
just as soon as the work of securing
title to the land can be completed.
