KENOSHA 0. KS
SHORTHAND PLAN
Engineer for Model City
Submits Plans to City
Planning Body.
WANT WATER SERVICE
Representative of the Railway
Commission Here to Secure
Data on Probable Rates.

Further indication that work is to
start Immediately on the development
of Shorthand, the model city to be built
along the lake shore by the Mrs. NC
Cormick interests, was given today
when it became known that w. II. MIN
er, chief engineer for the Krenn and
Dato company, the agents of the Mrs.
Mccormick trust organization, had
presented to the city planning COM
mission of Kenosha the preliminary
plans for the big project.
j. M. Albers, head of the building
inspection department of Kenosha, and
member of the city planning COM
mission, announced this morning that
careful survey had been made of
these plans and the city had given
it's 80. K" to the development as out
lined.
Under the laws the city has juris-
diction over all subdivisions within
radius of one mile and half Of the
city limits, this being part of the
regional zoning idea. For that reason
it was necessary for the plans OF the
model city to be submitted to the city
planning commission to make certain
that they did not interfere with the
plans for, the development of Ke-
nosha.
The plan, as submitted, provided
for the immediate development of the
entire 1500-acre tract. 1t showed that
a magnificent big hotel is to be one
Of the first buildings erected after
the city has been laid out; other pro-
iects provided were a golf course, bus
mess blocks to meet community needs
and much of the remainder to be sites
for high grade homes.
At the same time the company In
charge of the plans took up the ques-
ton of whether or not the new city
could secure water service from Ke-
nosha and this question is being in
vestigated. G
Railway Commission Investigates.
Such water service could be fur
nished by the city Of Kenosha only
under the direction of the state rail
road commission, which has charge OF
all public utilities. w. r. Reynolds,
a member of the state railroad COM
mission, has been in Kenosha, making
a careful study of the water service
here to determine what would be the
rates charged for such service by Ke-
nosha in the event that the extension
was granted.

TO ELIMINATE
DEATH CROSSING
Shorthand Plans Provide
for Elimination of Dan
gerOus Crossing.
GO UNDER THE TRACKS

Death Crossing - the railway grade
crossing on the Park Avenue Road
about one mile south of the city linz
it's, where many fatal accidents have
occurred in recent years $ may be
eliminated in the near future. Hopes
for this were held out this morning
when it was learned that the plans for
the development of Shorthand, the
model city which is to be built by the
Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Mccormick in
terests along the lake shore south of
Kenosha, provided a means for doing
away with the dangerous crossing.
The engineer for the Shorthand prop
critics has mapped out the following
plan for eliminating Death Crossing:
Extend the Brookside Garden Road
east across the Northwestern tracks
with a subway under the tracks; ex-
tend the Park Avenue Road south to
meet this extension Of the Brookside
Garden Road.
This plan has been presented to the
railway commission and must be en-
dorsed by that body before it can be
prt into effect. The Shorthand in
terests own all of the property to be
affected by the change and most GER
tainly there would be no objection to
the project in the event it was endors-
ed by the commission.
The Northwestern Railway company
must of course be consulted but no
doubt would not object to a plan
which would eliminate one of the most
dangerous crossings in the county. In
the event that the new road is built,
the present road would, of course, be
abandoned so that motorists could not
continue to defy death by taking a
short cut

ROBERT REIN
TO BE TRIED
Jury of Municipal Court
Comes in Today for the
April Term.
A LONG CALENDAR
Parker Death Cases Not to Be
Tried This Week: Some
Cases Dismissed.

The new jury in the municipal court
answered roll-call this morning at the
opening Of the April term, facing a
calendar of about seventy cases that
are waiting to be tried.
The case of Robert Rein, proprietor
of the Lucky Strike" hangout on
Rowland avenue and the Burlington
road, was the first set, and at two
o'clock this afternoon the case went
forward for trial.
There are a number of cases in
which Rein is defendant but he went
to trial on the statutory charge
against him.
Painter is Fined.
H. D. Painter, charged with unlaw-
full possession came in with his plea
of guilty last Saturday before the
jury appeared. He was fined $3.50 and
costs. Mike Divjak, also has pleaded
guilty and been fined $3.50 and costs.
The case of the state against Jacob
Bentz, charged with unlawful posses
sion of a still was dismissed this
morning by Judge Slater on the mo-
ton of the district attorney, as the
"still'' taken during this raid consist
ed on just the boiler or wash boiler
which might and might not be a part
of still equipment
Parker Cases Continued.
The cases of the state against John
Hams, John Lipkowski, Abe and Sam
Rubenstein will not go to trial during
this week of jury cases. Roy s.
Stephenson, attorney for the defense
in three of the cases informed the
court that there was motion to be
heard first, and that as the cases
would each take about three days of
trial, it would not be worth while to
begin with one of them.
Edward Thomas will be brought
down from Waupun to appear as wit
ness in the cases, so that doubtless
they will not be set for trial until the
cases can be heard 'consecutively. They
arise out of the death of Truman
Parker and his daughter, Miss Jean
Parker, the driver of the car which
struck them testifying that he had
been drinking at the saloons of the
defendants.
