COUNCIL FACING
MUCH LITIGATION
RESIDENTS ABOUT CALHOUN
THREATEN INJUNCTION.
Won't Allow City to Reduce Present
Level and Claim Tt Is Established
Damage Suits Threatened Because
Of High Waters choonmaker Would
Restore Park Boards Authority.

Alderman Frank T.. Schoonmaker
contemplates introducing an ordinance
repeating all measures establishing the
minimum stage of water in the lakes
comprised in the park system. Such
course would leave the park board
supreme in the matter of controlling
the levels Of the three lakes. Person
ally he regrets that the council ever
interfered, but he cheerfully takes his
share Of the blame for overriding the
authority Of the park commissioners.
He was strongly in favor of Alder
man Walker proposition to amend
the Lake Calhoun ordinance so that
the level can be lowered one foot, but
when he heard that desperate effort
was to be made to defeat the proposed
compromise he was ready to quit. Many
other aldermen have soured on the
lake. fight and want to escape any more
trouble.
Captain Ewing and other residents
about Lake Calhoun now contend that
the council cannot lower the present
stage, having once established it. Fur
thermore, they announce their inten-
tion of applying to the courts for an
injunction to restrain the lowering Of
the lake, and if this fails, they will
begin actions against the city for dam
ages. With numerous threats of suits
for damages thru the present high wa
some annoying litigation. .
~ notice that one of the advocates
of high water wants the boulevard
raised two feet, and expresses the opin-
ion that it can be done for $780, said
Mr.. Schoonmaker today. eff the
work can be done for much less than
100000 I will be surprised. It will
cost tidy little sum alone to raise
the grade Of five miles or more Of
boulevard two feet, or even one foot.
But that is only very small part Of
the expense. Much of the ground be-
tween Lake Calhoun and Lake Of the
Isles is only swamp covered with
water most Of the time. Many trees
have been killed by the high. water.
1t will be necessary to begin over
again to establish a new park to cor
respond with the present stage of water
if it is to be maintained.'

were 3.9li,57l women who we're en-

of women who are making their own

gloomy view he does of the situation.
Despite the competition of women, the
man of industry and ability still has
an excellent opportunity to make his

worse things happening to men than
