Was Placed There by the Ladies' Me-
mortal Association, Who Care for
Which Are Buried Confederate Sol
dicrs from Eleven States.

The Wake County Memorial Asso-
citation was organized on May %.
1866, and received by deed from the
late Henry Mordccai, a plot of land
in the eastern part Of the city, then a
wild, unclaimed woods. now a part
of the beautiful lakewood cemetery.
From that time up to the present the
plot has been in the tender care Of
the Association.
Four years ago an appeal was made
to the Legislature by the ladies of the
Memorial Association, in which they
asked that body to assist them in their
noble work of identifying and pro-
tecting the plot on which are buried
the Confederate dead. The ladies felt
sure that When it was knoWn hat
they were caring for the dead from
eleven States as well as those from the
Confederate navy, and those from the
Soldiers Home, they would receive
the appropriation asked for. The
committee to whom the bill was re-
ferred and the Legislature voted
unanimously to appropriate $3.50 for
the first TWO years, annually, and 5000
annually for the two years following.
The suggestion was made by sever
al Who favored and worked for this
appropriation that a part of the
amount be donated for an entrance

The bill was read the first time and
advanced to second reading without
reference.
Local Option Loses.
The cause OF local option sustained
a decided defeat in the house. The
license committees bill. No. G55,
came up on the order OF second read
ing. The bill provides that cities and
villages and Incorporated towns with
in a township can vote themselves
wet or dry without regard to what
the township as a whole votes. Ad-
kins, OF Piatt county, moved to strike
out the enacting clause, saying the
bill nulliied the present local option
law.
Brown, Of LaSalle, spoke in favor
of the bill and English. of johnson
county, against the hill. Brown
claimed the cities and villages had
TO bear the brunt of taxation. This
English denied. The motion to strike
out the enacting cause was lost, re-
ceiving 65 votes to 81 against Il. and
the bill was advanced to third read
ling.

The Illinois international improve
ment commissions waterway bill. the
administration bill, came up in the
senate and provoked a hot discussion.

the commissioners should number
seven instead OF FIVE, and that one
should be appointed from each SUI
preme judicial district, was defeated.
and McKenzie's amendment that four
Of the commissioners should have

Attorney Buckmaster Protests
Against Proposed Route for
South Side Trunk Sewer
WILL ASK DAMAGES OF CITY
Other Property Owners May Follow His
Lead but Plans for Big Sewer Are
Ready and Decision Viii
be Made Soon

Attorney Albert E. Buckmaster has
filed with the sewer committee a form
al protest against the proposed trunk
sewer in the south part of the city, this
being the first protest to be filed against
the sewer. Mr.. Buckmaster is the
owner Of two lots on Durkee avenue
just south of Jerome Greek and under
the proposed plan the sewer will pass
through his property and will be de-
triment to the use of at least one OF
the lots for building purposes. In his
protest Mr. Buckmaster states that he
will claim damages from the city if it
is necessary to build the sewer through
this property. The protest is not filed
with a view of retarding the work OF
building the big sewer, but simply to
show that the attorney will claim a
proper remuneration from the city if
he is forced to surrender a portion of
his property as a right of way for
the sewer. The protest of Mr.. Buck
master is the only formal protest that
has been fled against the proposed
plan, but It is understood that there
will be at least two or possibly three
more protests filed before the final
adoption Of the plans by the City Coun-
ell. The plans have been completed by
the city engineer and many people from
the south and west portions of the city
interested in the construction Of the
sewer have called to examine them.
City Attorney Slater had interviewed a
number of the property owners inter
ested in the right of way for the sewer
and it is thought that this right of way
lean be secured at a low cost. There
are few pieces of property which will
be damaged and it is certain that the
owners Of this property will claim dam
ages from the city. The plans are now
ready to be submitted for the final ac-
ton of the Council, but the final de
tails of the work will not be ready un
til the Council has decided as to what
material will be used in the construc
ton of the sewer. It is generally be
heved that the Council will decide to
have the sewer constructed Of concrete
In the past few months the aldermen
have been making Investigations into
concrete construction and they seem to
be of the opinion that this construction
is the most satisfactory of this kind OF
sewers. The mayor has declared that
he will insist on the work being started
before the close Of the present year and
it is possible that a block of the sewer
will be built before snow flies. While
the appropriation for the sewer is not
large the aldermen will insist that il
be used for no other purpose.
