dissenting vote. The dismissal was so
sudden and unceremonious that a
meeting of the experts set for Wedncs-
day was called off ut the last minute.
The commission of experts had been
given no opportunity to make It's final
report. After weeks of labor three dis
tinct plans for the widening and deep
ening of the river and the diversion of
all sewage from the lake by the an
nexa,ion of the Evanston and Calumet
districts were outlined, each scheme
accompanied by exhaustive data. The
cost of each plan was figured to the
cent and ranged from $1S.000.0O0 to
Si4,OOO.OOO. Now 1t Is frankly admit.
ted by the Sanitary Trustees that this
commission was created merely ito
stir up public sentiment" SO that the
Legislature might allow the Drainage
Board more money to carry out river
plans. Though the plea for an add.
dionai tax Of one.half of per cent for
this purpose was defeated. the bill
allowing the bonded Indebtedness of
the Sanitary District to be raised from
