Illinois Central Eyes Water Site Purchase For Expansion
Illinois Central aims to buy the Wood property at Ullon and Lafayette streets to relocate its water plant and gain track expansion space. The Wood Ice Company land, adjoining the river and near the artesian well, could suit the water works and extend the property from Park Avenue beyond the freight house, aiding passenger yard congestion. Nearby Waterloo Water Company supplies complicate relocation, as Central officials review the deal via R. N. Dowle and Loret Morg.
