1t Is about time for the attorneys Of
the trustees of the sanitary district to
give their opinion on the subject OF the
power Of the board to raise xlO.OOO. 900
by taxation Of the district for the pur-
pose Of creating a deep inner harbor
at Chicago. This subject was submit.
ted to them for consideration some
time ago. A laundering reply was en-
pected.
Bnt lao deliverance on the subject has
emanated from the boards law depart
ment. II was nearly a month ago that
the subject was said to have been TAX
en- under consideration. The period of
incubation for the expected opinion
must have expired without any result.
Nothing ever was more absurd, In the
first place, than the proposition that,
In addition to the tax and loans of $685.

sure. Hut the NLth General Assembly
had n chance to pass revenue measure
and refused point blank to do 40. There

would do better to direct their efforts
to clcc,ing n General Assembly next
year that will pass decent measures
when they are prescnted. and refuse
to pass such outrageous ones ~ the
Nth General Assembly. with Gov.
Tanners approval. placed upon III"
