Westchester Builds Water Reservoir in Forest Park
Westchester plans a water reservoir in Forest Park to supply the village from Chicago. Barr and Collins will locate the plant on the rear of a lot between Elgin and Marengo, north of Harrison. The project includes laying twenty inch mains underground along Harrison and through Oak Park and Forest Park, with mains to Westchester fed from Chicago daily. The site is zoned for apartments, raising questions about impact on the reservoir and local development.

Frank Rieth, aged 47, died suddenly at Kahone 916 Circle Avenue. He was found in his bed, after long heart trouble, and leaves a complex account of his last hours.
