AMOUNT PLACED At s25O,OOO
Frank eraser is REFLECTED President
of the Water Commission at Meeting
Held on Monday Evening - Water
Plant Plans Nearly Ready.

At the meeting of the Board Of Wat
Ter Commissioners on Monday evening
plans were laid for the financing of the
new water system for the city of Ke-
nosha and the clerk of the board was
directed to have the city attorney act
ing for the board make an application
Ito the Wisconsin Railroad Commission
for a certificate of necessity and con-
Ivenience for the issuance Of liability
bonds to the amount Of $250,000. It is.
understood that these bonds are not
to be liability against all the property
,of the city but against such property
las may be part of the water plant.
Before these bonds may be issued rep
resentatives of the commission will
come to Kenosha and make a full ex-
animation of the plans and specifca-
tions for the various features of the
new plant. The agent of the commits
sion will submit a report to the board
authorizing the issue Of bonds and af-
ter this has been done the matter must
be passed on by the common council.
In reaching the amount of bonds to
be issued the commissioners have con-
sidered the complete rebuilding Of the
plant from the ground up. The total
cost is figured at $355,oo0. This includ-
ed the intake, pipe under the harbor
and the crib at a cost of $4,000, the.
filtration plant at cost of 100000,
the buildings and equipment for the
pumping station at $125,000 and $4,000
for mains and extensions. Of course
it is possible that when bids for these
various items are received it may be
possible to scale the cost of them
little, but with the determination of
the commission to build for the future
it is not thought that any great re-
duction in the estimates will be poss-
ible. The members of the commission
estimate the available funds at $105,-
600. This includes $4,000 now on
hand in the funds of the commission,
$4,000 TO be received from the rim-
mons Manufacturing company as the
part purchase price for the cid pump
ing station and $4,000 the estimated
profit of the water plant for the year
just closing, 1t is admitted that the
amount of the bonds is higher than
had been originally expected but the
members of the commission will of
course be governed in making the issue
wholly by the action Of the railroad
commission. The commission will have
men trained in this work considering
the problem and it is certain that the
people will be fully protected in the
matter.
The meeting on Monday evening
brought a harmonious reorganization
of the board and Commissioner eraser
was unanimously elected as president
of the board for another term.
Plans and specifications for the wat
er plant are now being drawn and it is
expected that all of them will be ready
for the consideration of the commits
sion within week or ten days.
