CHlCAG0'S VALUABLE
DRAINAGE CANAL

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 5. President
Zina r. Carter and the other members
Of the Board of Drainage Canal Com
mlssioners step out today and Presi-
dent Robert II. Mccormick and the
eight other members of the board, re-
Gently elected, will take their places.
1t is expected that the change of ad-
ministration will be followed by a
general shake up among the employees
of the Drainage Bureau and many OF
the heads of departments are pre-
pairing for emergencies. The chief in
terest centers in the selection OF the
heads OF the finance and engineering
committees. These ere the only two
committees on the board that are of
wide importance. The chairman of
the engineering committee will have
much to say about the branch canals
through the Evanston and Calumet
districts which are TO be built The
chairman of the finance committee
will exercise large control over the
manner In which the millions the new
board must eXpend are to be dis
bursed. The construction of the
branch canals has been estimated TO
cost about SIS, 900. while In the
coming five years nearly as much
more is liable to be expended in com
pletng the work at Joliet, in i'm
proving the river, in building bridges
and for maintenance and administra-
tion. Trustee Frank Y. Cloidt, the
former chairman OF the finance com
mittee, has been reelected trustee this
year, hut it is considered doubtful
whether he will again be made chair
man Of the finance committee.
