No Reuon Known for Act of Sergeant Dlwson who Killed Himself u Ubeflyville Many Complaints nude u to Service do not Appear to be Based on Full According to the Waukegan Gazette North Chicago is the latest city to plan .i war on the Milwaukee Electric. the statement made that the aldermen of that city have planned to enforce the ‘ordint ante which provides that. cars may not run faster than 16 miles an hour within the city limits. This they claim will be done in an effort to make the Electric Road give their city better service and would seem to be a performance of the old operation of cutting off the nose to spite the (ace. From a close watch of the Milwaukee Electric road schedule and the North Shore newspapers. Which do the complaining. one would judge that Superintendent Bock has been making: good effort to satisfy everybddy but that he is attempting the impossible. Sonic time ago. after many complaints. he made a schedule for Waukegan which was drawn according to the suggestions of the Mayor of that city but the com- plaints continued. When the road tried to operate the Milwaukee cars as special. stopping only at the main stations, ‘ every town entered an objection. the city fathers in nearly every case sug- gesting that the cars run special afteri they had left their town. As it is the North Shore is getting a car every twenty‘ minutes. about three cars to every one'in opetation by other electric roads, and in comparison with other lines and the C. i N. W. they are operated on time. Mil-l waukee cars ‘are likely to be a fewl minutes late and crowded. local patrons} know this and should make an effort, tori their own convenience. to time their trips so that they will catch the Waukeganl. cars. At present cars are delayed by thei repairs being made on the bridge at Win- ' netka. The same newspapers which con- sider this a sufficient cause for com- plaint said nothing when the North; western trains were delayed. often for a half hour. while the tracks were being reballasted. During the big storms last: winter the Northwestern could “hardly; get its trains out of the station . let alone get them in but the El Road maintainedits schedule in verygood shape. lf the North Shore towns would l work with the road instead of against it; we think they would get much better results. l AGHWOOD CATHOLIC CHURCH BAZAAR HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14. 191£ ARMY MAN COMMITS SUICIDE Referendum Vote Pootponed untilJln. l ' collcCtion of expiring Owing to Injunction I in 1912 ‘ Officers of theyodern Woodmen, which ’ 1 has nearly 200,th membersirhflinois, are, Defic“ in.
