DELAYS SWITCH TRACK PLANS
Railway Company Is Forced to Make
New Surveys in Order to Lay Tracks
Along Dock Lines as it Had Planned
Company Getting Gas From Racine.

1t is declared that the rehabilitation
of the plant of the Kenosha Gas Com
pany has been decided on by the of
fcials of the Wisconsin Gas and Elec-
trio Company and Mayor Head has re-
ceived notification in roundabout way
that the company is planning for the
building of q gas tank on the property
on Grand avenue which win be one Of
the largest in the state. 1t is declared
that the tank will be $50 feet in diam
eter and it is said that the plans Of the
company provide for its installation
within the next few months.
The announcement has come as a
surprise to Kenosha people who have
followed the course of the gas company
as it was supposed that the company
was making an effort to abandon the
old historic Kenosha plant and that
within a short time pipes from Racine
would bring all the gas used in Keno
sha. 1t is admitted that at the present
time large portion of the gas in use
in the city is being piped in from Ra-
cine. The action of the company IN de-
Gliding to build this big gas tank has
badly interrupted the plans of the
Northwestern Railway Company for
the rebuilding of switch tracks leading
to the factory districts in the first ward
Of the city The plan had been made
to run track along the docks and near
ly all of the property owners had shown
a willingness to give right of way for
the tracks when letter to the COM
pany from the gas company blocked
the move. This plan had been design
ed with view of doing lot to relieve
conditions on Main street and other
north and south streets in the city.
Manager Stearns of the Wisconsin
Gas and Electric Company informed
the conn any that it would be impossi-
bic to give a right of way on the north
end Of the property owned by his com
pany on account Of the proposed build
ing of the great gas tank. 1t is not
thought that this action on the part
of the gas company will block the plans
for the relaying of the railway tracks,
but much of the work will have to be
done over and a new route outlined.
Most of the surveys for the new tracks
had been completed and no trouble had
been anticipated in securing right Of
way from the Wisconsin Gas and Flee
trio Company.

The railway company is not as yet
ready to make public its plans, but the
engineers of the company are busy at
work on them and the officials are
hopeful that the plans will be carried
out some time during the coming year.
1t had been expected that an ordi-
nance giving the plans in full and ask
ing for the establishment of grades for
tracks would be presented to the coun-
Gil with the opening of the new year,
but this will lee delayed on account Ct
the necessity of making the new plans
Mayor Head is in close touch with the
officials of the company and he has
done much to aid in working out plan
which he feels convinced will be en-
tirely satisfactory to the people of the
city and which will do much to better
shipping conditions for the big indus
trial concerns of the city.

Kenosha Officials to Seek to
Promote Sheridan Road
From State Line North.
TO join ILLINOIS ASSOCIATION

Kenosha is going to take just one
more try to secure the completion of
the Sheridan road from the state line
to the north limits of the county and
the officials of the city have notified
| Z. L. Lobdell, president of the Sheri-
dan Road Improvement association of
the state of Illinois, that kenosha, as
municipality, will be glad to meet him
and make such plans as may seem wise
| to secure the completion of the road.
The plan that is made by the local
officials is to have the Sheridan road
run directly from the north to the south
limits of Kenosha over Ashland avenue
and Caledonia street. The building of
the new bridge over Ashland avenue
Will make this plan feasible one. 1t
order to open the road to the north it
would be necessary for the city to
unite with the town of Somers in the
condemnation of property at the north
limits. To the north of Ropeville it is
thought that it will be an easy matter
to secure a union with one Of the roads
running directly north to Racine. The
Kenosha Automobile club has also re-
ceived letters from the officials of the
Illinois association urging the club to
get behind the movement.
There is no. longer any doubt of the
completion Of the road from Chicago to
the state line. Under the new Wiscon-
sin law the building of the road from
Chicago north to the Wisconsin state
line has been placed under the direction
of the commissioners of Lincoln Park
and this board will have charge of the
maintenance of the road after it is
built The Lincoln Park commission
has an abundance of funds to provide
for the building Of the road and it has
already had surveys made with the
view of building splendid concrete
road
The board has been busy during the
winter months securing consent for the
building Of the road from the town
boards Of cities and villages along the
right of way and every assurance is
given that the actual work Of building
the road will be started with the new
year. Beyond the Wisconsin line the
road must be built by the people of
Wisconsin, but the commissioners of Lin
coin Park have agreed to do everything
in their power to reduce the cost of
this work by furnishing plans and spe-
cifcations and it is said that if neces-
sary engineer corps will be loaned for
this purpose.
With the city of Kenosha the first
city in Wisconsin to be touched by the
road the Illinois men are anxious to
secure favorable action toward the
building of the road in this city and
through this county.

MAY BE KENosHA MAN.

Local police have been asked to aid
the police officers Of Glencoe, H., in
identifying the remains of an unknown
man found floating in the lake off that
village on Friday morning. The body
is described as that of man about 5
feet 4 or 5 incehs tall and 40 to 45
years of age. The clothing consisted Of
a pair of black trousers and white
shirt with black stripe and black but
ton shoes. The features are round and
smooth-shaven, while the hands are
soft. The police believe the victim is
resident Of the north shore towns.
