PRESSURE PLANT FAVORED
Members of the Commission Are In
speeding Plant at Brass Works and it
is Thought Similar Plant For City
Would Cost About $4,000.

New hope for filtration Of the water
supplied through the mains of the
Kenosha Water Company was brought
at the regular meeting of the board
Of water commissioners on Tuesday
evening and figures presented to the
board indicated that it would be pos
sible to install a sufficient filtration
plant in Kenosha without issuing a
cent S worth of bonds Figures be-
fore the board indicated that pres
sure filter sufficiently large to supply
100000 gallons Of water daily could
be installed in connection with the
city water plant for an expenditure
of $4,000 and it is certain that this
amount Of money will be in the hands
Of the commission before the time
that plans and specifications for the
plant could be prepared
The pressure plant under considera-
ton S the one now in use at the plant
Of the American Brass Company and
members of the board of water COM
missioners are planning to make an
inspection of this plant during the
week. City Engineer Brennan de-
clared this morning that pressure fl
ter with colonization would insure to
the city clean as well as practically
pure water Figures secured by the
board indicate that the cost of build
ing a gravity GltFation plant would
be ic Che neighborhood of $4,000.
These figures are considerably less than
Vie figures reported to tho council by
the special filtration committee some
time ago. The commissioners have not
taken any action to have the figures
sent to the common council as the
members of the board are waiting for
detailed figures now being prepared by
one of the engineering companies in
Milwaukee. It is thought that the de-
tailed figures will confirm the prices
that have been given informally to
the members of the board. When the
report is submitted to the council the
commissioners hope to have it show
every detailed fact in regard to the
business and operation Of the plant.
Should il be found possible to install
q filtration plant without bond issue
It Is possible that the water board will
proceed with the work with the open
ing of the building season.
1t is thought that a majority of the
members Of the council would be fav-
ably to the installation Of such a
plant especially if it could be secured
without increasing the bonded indebt-
adness of the city. The commissioners
are going deeply into The proposition
and it is certain that their report will
be an intelligent one when submitted
for the consideration of the council
and the people of the city.

ICE MEN ARE READY.
Ice Cutting on Lakes in County May
be Started on Thursday Morning.

While the ice on the lakes is far
from satisfactory it is expected that
cutting will start on all the lakes in
the county on Thursday morning or on
Friday at the latest. Some seven humid
red men are at the lakes awaiting or
ders and hundreds of others are held
in Chicago for the first ice to be NOV
ed On the Kenosha county lakes
there is seven inches of ice today and
with the drop in the temperature it is
thought that the ice will reach nine
inches and make possible the opening
of the lakes. Thus far not pound of
ice has been cut for any of the thirty
ice houses in the county. Nine inch
ice is not regarded as the best posi-
Bile ice, but it is better than no ice at
all and the big Chicago companies will
start cutting at once. Most of the ice
cut at this time will be shipped direct
ly to Chicago to be used for cooling
purposes. President Tom Scott Of the
independent Ice ompany of Ksassha
has declared that he will not start cut
ting at Twin Lakes until he has twelve
inch ice even if it is necessary to ship
ice in from the north to supply Keno
sha during the coming summer months

tempt to vote proxies in the annual
election was denounced by s'insur-
gents,' led by Nathan E. Gatzert of
Libertyville, and in a trice the con-
vention was in an uproar.
When it seemed that the convention
would end in a riot, Mrs. Scott S. Du-
rand, society woman and model dairy
enthusiast of Lake Bluff, stepped into
the breach and stopped the pende-
monium by diplomacy.
Mrs. Durand arose and shouted:
Be quiet! You men ought to be
ashamed of yourselvesl What will
the out of town delegates think of
you9 And what will the newspapers
say of youg If this is going to be a
convention, let's get down to bust
ness.
Gatzert applauded Mrs. Durand and
gave up his fight. Mrs. Durand left
soon after E. ]. Fellows of st. Charles
had been reelected president and Al
bert 2. Jack Of Antioch, secretary,
Producers at their Libertyville meeting
last week endorsed Mr.. Jack for secre-
tary and G. G, Small for president of
the association, winning out on the
secretary but losing on the president.
The milk producers at the Monday
meeting fixed the summer price of
milk by wholesalers at II cents a gal
Ion. Production is heavier than ii
ever has been, it was declared, which
will delay for some time the plan of
farmers to stand out for. half the re-
tail price of s cents quart.

WILL MAKE OUT new ORDER
Company Will Insist However, THAT
Some Limit be Made to Number Of
Property Owners to be Included in
Forma Agreement-To Pay Damages

Agents of the Northwestern Rail
way Company who came to Kenosha
today to look into the progress that is
being made i'll the passage of the pro-
posed switch track ordinance express
ed the willingness Of the company to
meet the protesting property owners
half way and reiterated the oft ex-
pressed declaration of the company s
officials to pay every cent Of damages
caused by the building of the proposed
new industrial tracks in the city. The
agents Of the company had a long con-
ference with Mayor Head at which
the protests against the building Of
the switch fled at the last meeting Of
the council were taken up and they
agreed to secure an new order signed
by the proper officials Of the company
which will provide for arbitration Of
all of these claims as we'll as the
claims provided for in the former or
der signed by President w. A. Gard
ner of the company. 1t was declared
that the company had no intention of
seeking to avoid the payment Of any
damages that any property owner was
rightly entitled to and that the COM
pany would prefer to submit all Of
these questions of damages to arbitra-
ton. 1t will not however be possible
to get order after order to satisfy ev-
cry individual property owing and the
claims not included in protests before
the council can not be included in
the new order to be submitted at the
adjourned meeting of the council. If
further claims are fled the council
will be asked to proceed with the or
dinance without the formal demand
that the names of such claimants be
included in an agreement for arbitra-
ton. This does not mean that the
company has limited the number of
claims to be arbitrated to those now
listed If there are other valid claims
the company will consent to arbitra-
ton in the settlement Of them, but it
is impossible to delay the passage of
the ordinance in order to keep these
protests travelling back and forth be-
tween the company and the mayor.
If the company is to take advantage
Of options on land to the value OF
$4,000 the ordinance must be given
its final reading and put upon its pas
sage at the adjourned meeting of the
council Otherwise the company will
not have time in which to close up the
large number of real estate deals
necessary to get possession Of the land
for the proposed right Of way.
Mayor Head said after his confer
ence with the agents of the company
this morning sThe conference was
a most satisfactory one and the agents
of the company showed willingness
to do the fair thing with every prop
etry owner in the city. ] am hopeful
that this assurance of fair treatment
to all will make possible an early ac-
tion on the ordinance by the council. y

M'GEEHAN TOO ILL TO APPEAR
Attorney for Retired Commissioner De-
clares That it Will be Impossible for
Him to be Present at Investigation
to be Started on Thursday Morning.

The resignation of County Highway
Commissioner M. G.. Mcclellan will
make no change in the plans of the
special committee of the county board
in charge of the investigation Of the
Kenosha county highway tangle and
the investigation under the direction of
the members of the state highway com
mission will be started at the county
court house at nine clock Thursday
morning. 1t is not expected that Mr..
McGeehan will be present at the hear
ing. His attorney, Peter Fisher, mott
fed Attorney A. L. Drury, who repre-
sents the county board, on Tuesday
that Mr.. Mcclellan was i'll at his home
and that he was confined to his bed
and his condition was such that it
would be impossible for him to appear
as a witness at the investigation on
Thursday. A copy of the resignation
of the commissioner reached the county
clerk on Tuesday afternoon while the
special committee was in session and it
was laid before the committee. The
members of the committee declared
that they were not DESTROYS of accept
ing the resignation of the highway
commissioner until such a time as the
complaints against the work during the
past season had been cleared up by the
state commission.
The board is ready to act on any
suggestion made by the state commits
sion and members of the committee
held long telephone conversation with
Engineer Hirst before the decision was
reached to continue plans as arranged
some time ago. The commission has
it in it's power to accept the resigna-
tion of Mr.. Mcclellan at any time, but
it is certain that the action Of the
state board will be governed entirely
by the wishes Of the members Of the
county board in the matter. Mr.. Nc.
Geehan has prepared defense to the
complaints Of the committee and it is
possible that this will be in the hands
OF his attorney when the state board
INdShCo IACAOSHd Ull 4 uuISud mOIuIng,
Chairman John T. Yule was present
at the meeting Of the special commit
tee on Tuesday afternoon and he insist.
ed that the plans for the hearing by
the state commission go forward with
out interruption. He held that the
people of the city and county had been
given formal notice that the entire
matter would be made public at this
hearing and that it would be unfair to
the people to call the hearing off on
account of the resignation Of Mr.
Mcclellan.
1t is said that Mr.. Mcclellan is I'M.
der the care Of physician, but it is
possible that his condition will be suf-
ficently improved by tomorrow to make
it possible for him to be present at al
least part of the hearing.
The committee is ready to lay before
the state commission all the facts thai
lit has gathered in regard to errors
made in the building of the county
highways and it will insist on the state
commission continuing the probe even
though it may be necessary to adjourn
the hearing of the statements of Com
missioner Mcclellan until some time
later date.
