The National Gas and
Water Company
Is Ready,
And Will Make a Prop
OSitiOn to the
Aldermen.

The proposition that the National
Gas and Water company announces il
will make TO the City Council at it's
meeting next Monday night is at
tracing considerable attention in
several circles, not the least being
that great circle which includes the
thousands and tens Of tn usands Of
consumers who now feel themselves
the victims of one of the most ruth
less and outrageous of all trusts, the
Chicago gas trust" And especially
is the agitation opportune now when
IL is announced that in addition to
the many millions Of Illegal and fic-
titious stock already issued by the
trust another issue of 10000 600
will be made Oct. /.
Whether the proposition of the Ma
tional Gas and Water Company is ac-
cepted or some other proposition, the
fact remains that if the people of
Chicago expect cheap gas gas made
by the latest improved methods and
furnished at price that does not
take into account $25, 900, 600 Of wat
cred stock, they will have to take
hold OF the matter with determina-
tion.
The proposition originally made by
the National folks and given to the
press last week has been changed
largely at the instance of Prof Ed
ward Bemis, Of the Chicago Uniyers-
ty, and other gentlemen interested
in the Municipal Gas League of this
city. Prof. Bemls is probably the
best known and by far the ablest
wIiter on the municipal gas problem
in the country, having personally in
yestigated every municipal plant in
the United States up to July, 1892
The proposition Is substantially as
follows:
/. That the Chicago and Cook
County Gas Company be chartered
with capitalization of $50, 0G0, 600.
2. That this $50, 600, 600 of stock
be issued and $40, 1000, 600 paid to the
city for a franchise, $40, 600, 600 to.

cess now in operation at the Cicero

and Cook County Gas Company, to
be used for the benefit of said com
pany as determined by its board of
directors.
3. That SO, 900, 600 of bonds be is

We w9uld further recommend that
the Commissioners of Lincoln Park
shall hereafter annually make de-
tailed estimate of the necessary ex-
penditures for the succeeding year
and the purposes for which these ex-
penditures are to be used, which
shall be submitted to the Supervisors
of the Town of Lake View and of
the North Town, at reasonable
length of time prior to the time for
making the annual tax levy.
Favoritism in Privileges.
Your committee finds that the
manner of letting privileges has been
careless and that favoritism has APP
parently been shown. Propositions
have not been advertised for, but
certain selected parties have been
asked to make bids and competition
has been confined to these few par
ties. Higher bids from responsible
parties were refused on trivial
grounds and the public not given an
opportunity to know anything of
these matters.
We would recommend that all sup
plies be purchased and privileges let
where the amount exceeds $500. 90
by bids advertised for in the news
papers, and contracts made with the
best responsible bidder We would
further recommend that all meetings
of the commissioners of Lincoln Park
be held at stated times and be open
to the general public also that in
loaning park property to private in
dividuals or extending other courte-
sizes, this shall be ordered by the com
missioners in open meeting, and not by
direction Of the superintendent with
out any authority whatever from the
board
No Eight Hour Law.
Your committee further finds no
attention has been paid by the Board
Of Commissioner Of Lincoln Park to
the law providing that eight hours
shall be a days work, and that the
park laborers have been required to
work ten hours day.
We would respectfully recommend
TO the next General Assembly that
laws be enacted to carry into effect
the suggestions and recommendations
herein contained. and that in the
meantime the Commissioners shall
endeayor TO carry out these recon-
mendati0ns.

its county convention for oct 4,
and set the primaries for the day
previous.
The basis of representation will be
one delegate for every 200 votes cast
for Cleveland and Stevenson.
The primaries will be conducted
under the strict provisions of the law
and will be tair and impartial. Any
other meGhol Of electing delegates
would come under the head of "free
and easy" but the primaries provided
by the Central Committee will be
hedged about by the law, and that
is perhaps what troubles the trust. "
The charge that Mayor Harrison
@bossed" or dictated the action of the
committee is in keeping with the
daily line of misinfOrmation and
fasehood practiced by certain news
papers n Chicago. The Mayor talked
freely about the committee and the
convention Wednesday, just as any
other prominent Democrat interested
in the welfare and success Of his
party would talk. 1T has been my
earnest desire and advice for years,
he said. "to the Democratic
party to have fair primaries
and | am as much in earnest ON
the subject now as ] have ever been.
In fact. | would never hesitate for a
moment to denounce any method or
plan of holding primaries In which
the voters might be deprived OF their
free and untrammeled choice OF del
egates or candidates, and as | under
stand it the primaries TO be held Oct.
3 will be governed by the law. 1t
will be impossible, however, to have
as many polling places in each ware
as are required by the law, for the
reason that the money cannot be
raised to pay the expenses. Only ju-
dicial candidates and possibly county
commissioners are to be nominated,
and these officers are not Of sufficient
Importance in financial sense to lustl-
fly the heavy assessment that would be
necessary were polling places estab-
lshed in every precinct required by
the election law. Times are hard
and money is scarce. Democrats
have not got rich yet holding Office,
and it will be impossible 10 raise the
money, and while | have nothing TO
do with the matter | would think
that the polling places should be To-
Gated so as TO accommodate 800 or
600 vo ers, and this will lessen the
expense. / have always thought the
general law on polling precincts was
too strict when applied to primaries,
and at the last session OF the General
Assembly tried 10 have the law
amended SO that the primary voting
districts would contain a large num-
Der OF voters"

The Financial Management.

The Financial Management.
We find the financial management
of the park has been conducted in a
careless and unbusiness-like manner.
The commissioners depend entirely
upon the superintendent to correctly
report the receipts and small expendi-
lures at the park, accepting without
question his statements of such trans
actions rendered monthly in total
amounts. By general order the
superintendent is given authority to
make purchases for the park of all
supplies not over S25. and in the max
ing of these purchases we find that
his authority is absolute.
We find, that in the purchase OF
all supplies for the daily use of the
park, everything is purchased in
small quantities with the exception
of coal, and that the superintendent
is vested with the authority to con-
troll nearly the entire amount of ordi-
nary expenditures.
We believe this to be directly con-
trary to the provisions of Section %
of the law creating said park which
is as follows: "None of the Commits
sioners or any person, whether in the
employ of said Commissioners or 9th
erwise. shall have the power to create
any debt, obligation, claim or liabil.
ity for or on account Of said Board
or the money or property under hi:
control, except with the express au
thority of said Board, conferred at q
meeting thereof duly convened anc
held.
Your committee further finds thai
the superintendent is intrusted witt
the sale of sand, running of boats
swings, ETC., and the collection Of
privilege fees. making total in
come of from $50, 600 to $25, 900, and
his statements of these receipts are
accepted without any examination Of
the books kept at the park or any
method of checking in order to de
termine the accuracy of his state
ment.
We would recommend that the
Board employ an expert accountant
to examine into the system of book
keeping and TO formulate plan OF
keeping the accounts OF the park in
the Office OF the Commissioners, un.
der the control Of the Secretary and
the Board.
Your committee further fuds that
the BOARD has not complied with the
law required that a detailed state.
ment, showing receipts and expendi-
lures, shall be submitted to the
Mayor Of the city or President of the
Board OF Trustees of the town in
which the park is located. Since
1855 the Commissioners have submit.
ted annual statements, showing the
totals Ia the various departments for
the entire year, whlca doesnot comply
With the law requiring that these
statements shall be- detailed and

Must Not Make the Mistake Again.

neixhbors instead Of at his own house AS he
had done before.

liquor was the cause Of his mistake, but he de-

that he had drank some during the evening
