THE RIVER COMMISSION.

The Committee Of Thirty citizens, appofnt-
cd at recent public meeting, to take into
consideration the two-fold subject of dis
charging The fifth which finds its way into
our river, and of furnishing the city with
pure water for drinking purposes, have done
their work not only promptly but we'll. Our
readers have already eecn their report, with
the accompanying bill, to be presented to the
Legislature, to create commission to tAko
charge Of The work, and to commence active
operations on our Augean stable. The public
will probably ngree that nothing but au over
powcring necessity could hare inpelled SO
numerous body as this committee to do 50
much work, and do 1t as thoroughly. In so
short time. We know that these gentle
men have labored necessarily, often protract-
Ing their sessions TIL past midnight. For the
perseverance and intelligence which they
hare brought 10 their task they are entitled
10 The thanks Of the whole community.
The bill which the committee hSve pre-
pared does not commit the city or the Com
mission 10 any plan for carrying forward the
work. It Is simply agreed that tht thing shall
b. done. The groundwork Is prepared and the
means provided for. The *sodus epe7andi is
an after consideration. Those. who believe
that the Calumet plan is the best will bs
heard those who favor the deep cut in the
Illinois and Michigan Canal will also be
heard those who believe 1hat the Des PLANES
river will afford the desired relief, will receive
proper consideration; and all other plans
will DO heard and judged according to their
merits. It does not follow that twelve
month will be lost in idle wransling about
