8. In elevating track through Ke-
nosha, it is recommended that the rail-
road adopt concrete trestle construc-
tion so far as possible in order that
the ground space underneath it may be
made use of in connection with the
new passenger station and for general
utility purposes.
Praises Work of North Shore.
8. The Chicago, North Shore and
Milwaukee Electric railroad is a very
valuable asset to the city both in the
handling of passengers and less than
commended that a downtown freight
station be established with auto truck
delivery to the North Shores Salem
avenu freight station.
10. 1t is recommended that the
North Shore make auto truck delivery
at Chicago in connection with it's regu-
lar service.
II. Street car schedules should be
so arranged or other means provided
whereby passengers to and from the
North Shore station can more quickly
reach their destination.
Need Many New Industries.
II. The development Of new indus
trial districts for Kenosha is essential
to it's progress.

structural shops; auto tires; disc
wheels; auto bumpers; auto tops; stor-
age batteries; manufacturers of lin
seed oil, paints and varnishes; farm

/ Regarding Harbor Extension.
! Is. The st. Lawrence deep waterway
| when constructed will stimulate in
dustrial development in and around
! to the Gulf waterway
| Is. The present harbor facilities
/ should be improved in order to secure
the maximum benefit therefrom, but
! it is not believed that Kenosha would
! be justified in entering upon an elab-
crate program for harbor development
at this time.
! II. 1t is believed that the necessity
! for extensive harbor development will
arise when the st. Lawrence Deep
! Waterway project becomes certainty.
Ms. The city should at this time ac-
quire the riparian rights to as much
! of the lake front as it is possible to
obtain in order that future harbor
plans may be carried out at minimum
cost.
10. The present harbor is not we'll
adapted to exclusive development as it
cannot be easily served by the rail-
road. \
Railway Track to Port.
20. For the Improvement of the Ke-
nosha harbor it is recommended that
Pike Greek be filled above Main street
and that in the space so provided s.
railroad track be built to serve a lake
terminal for freight and passengers.
81. 1t is recommended that future
new harbor be located Approximately
opposite the north city limits where it
can be primarily of service tn the in
dustrial districts. The port shipping
coal, building supplies and other bulk
material, wheat, corn, rye, flax and
other grains.
Space should be reserved in that area
for dry docks, and coal and oil bun
kering facilities Direct rail connec-
ton must be provided, and ample yards
for maintaining an adequate car sup
ply.
