EXPERTS REPORT ON FEES
CLAIMED EX-OFFICERs OWE COUNTY
SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Court Decisions Their Basis for Re.
tanning Them-Referred to the
Commissioners.

The experts examining the books and ac-
counts of the county officers for a number
of years past filed a report with the County
Commissioners yesterday. After the report
was turned over by Messrs. Bookwalter and
McCaslin. Commissioner Greer said he had
no objection to making it public at once,
but after perusing page or two of ii, he
decided to first refer il to the county at
torney before making the contents public.
1t is understood the experts claim the
county is entitled to a number of fees which
have been retained by ex-county officers
these officers retaining the fees on decisions
made by the courts. In the sheriff's office,
IL is claimed. old officers owe the county
as much as $1,000 while in the clerks office
the county is entitled 10 several thousand
dollars from ex-officers. The experts do not
attempt TO show in any way that there is
a shortage, for the officers had court de-
cisons to support their claims, but the ex-
perts, it seems, do not believe these court
decisions will be upheld in the higher
courts.
There is a question as to whether or not
the County Commissioners will accept the
recommendations of the experts and bring
suit to recover these amounts, it being a
dubious matter as to whether the county
would find it profitable TO engage in this
litigation.

LOWER THE LAKE LEVEL
NORTHERN INDIANA CITIES FEAR
CHICAGO'S DRAINAGE CANAL.
Drop Of Several Inches I'm Water Lev.
ell Would Injure the
Harb0rs.

Some time ago the announcement was
made that the health authorities of Missouri
had determined TO apply for an injunction
in the Federal Court to prevent the compile
ton OF the Chicago drainage canal, on the
ground that the immense amount of sewage
to be dumped into the Illinois river through
the canal would pollute not only that river,
but the Mississippi well. and spoil the
water supply Of many Missouri cities along
the water front. The Missouri officials as
eertained that while q large amount of filth
is at present dumped into the Illinois river,
1t is mostly in the shape of nitrates, which
have almost no animal organism in them
and are not in any sense a menace TO the
health of the people who drink the water.
On the other hand. the sewage which II is
proposed to empty into it through the canal
is known to be composed OF fully 40 per
cent Of animal organism. The statement is
made that anywhere around the southern
end of Lake Michigan, out of any 100 drops
of water taken up at random, forty of them
will be found to contain the colon bacili
or human parasite.
In addition to the protests of the Missouri
authorities 1t is probable that the injun-
ton proceedings will be participated in by
the people of such cities of Indiana, Michi-
gan and Wisconsin as border on the lake.
and the keynote TO their position may be
found in the statement made by a member
of the Indiana State Board of Health. The
contractors who are at work on the canal
have bonded themselves to so construct the
big sewer as TO furnish sufficient water to
reduce the sewage from Chicago to the
same consistency as the water of the ILL
nois river before ii actually reaches that
body OF water. This means that several
forced through the big sewer each hour, and
this draught on the lakes must in a short
time lower the level Of the water materially
and this, in turn, must affect the commerce
and prosperity OF many cities which at pres
ent are in a thriving condition.
The lowering or the water only a few
inches, IL is claimed, will practically ruin
the harbor at st. Joseph and Benton Har-
Dor, together with many along the Indiana
water front. This phase of the matter with
all its possibilities. has not vet been brought
TO the attention OF the people of these cities
every one of which will. in the opinion of
the Health Board. fight the canal as soon
as 1t Is demonstrated that 1t will be asked
10 sacrifice most of its marine facilities in
order TO enable Chicago 20 dispose of its
offal TO advantage. What the first step will
be, or which town will take ii, cannot be
known at present but the matter is re-
ceiving the attention of state officers. who,
in turn, are bringing the matter TO the at
tention of the local officers of the cities
along the lake.

According to the records of the State
Board of Health there have been IFS cases
of smallpox in Indiana since Jan. %. when
the first case was reported These cases
were distributed through Hancock. Jeffer-
son, Clark, Floyd, Greene. Jennings, Marion,
Sullivan, Vanderburg. Vermillion, Union.
Upton, Cass and Ripley counties. In spite of
the great number of cases and the great
area covered by them. only one death was
recorded as due to smallpox. and that was
an infant at Evansville. The original
case was brought into the State from Gin
cinnati. In Evansville. where the number
of those affected was large. all the cases
were brought in from the Ohio river boats
which touch at that place. During the
greater part of the last three years small
pox has ravaged Ohio, Kentucky and Ark
ansas and the steamboat traffic has spread
the disease through the States which bor-
der on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.

A Contrast

The proper settlement of estates is a
business requiring skill and experience, as
we'll as unquestioued responsibility. THE
UNION TRUST COMPANY possesses all
these aud executes such trusts with preci-
sion and dispatch. The following extract
from letter received recently from ben
ehciary of large estate, of which it is ex-
ecutor, says:
Your letter of the 18th, inclosing check,
is at hand. for which please accept my
thanks. .
I'm concluding. I wish to say that the
promptness with which the Union Trust
Company has paid legacies and settled the
estate is especially commendatory of the
Trust Company and its efficient ofncers,
and I am confident those concerned are
we'll pleased with the results. am also glad
to note the contrast of settlement between
trust company and private representa-
tive"
THE UNION TRUST COMPANY,
having large volume of such business,
makes very moderate charges for its serv-
ices, much less than is usually demanded
by individuals.
