LEvEE WORK PROGRESSING WELL

Tue reconstruction and the general
improvement work on both the levees
north5 Of town has progressed well
during this month, Perry. Taylor
who had the contract for the recon
struction on new location of 1900
feet of the Isett Blackburn levee
whic was washed out by the Village
Creek over flow has made such pro-
gress that with favorable weather he
should be able to complete his task
within ten days. ID. l.. Houston is
the repair work on
the levee east from where TaylOr's
contract is complete. The gaps made
in the levee to drain out the wa er
are receiving his special attention.
Ia many instances these gaps were
materially deepened by the water as
it rushed out from within the levee
district. Yockey is engaged with
improve ment work on the Allen
Rosenthal levee south Of Village
creek The height Of both levees is
being raised six inches for short
distances where it seems advisable in
order to further insure their efficiency.
Thirty teams are being used under
the direction of the three men.

COUNCIL DISCUSSED
POLICE SITUATION
Non Enforcement Of Law in
Chanute Considered in
Many, Aspects.

The general dissatisfaction con
cernne the lawlessness prevalent In
Chanute which has been felt by both
the councilmen and the public at
large was given vigorous publicity
at the council meeting Monday
night. The discussion began late
in the evening and though no defln-
ite action had been taken when
Stewards motion for adjournment
finally secured favorable attention.
Mayor Beach, each of the eight
councilmen, and Chief of Police
Van Sandt had all expressed an
opinion of the situation.
The discussion was begun by
Stewards call for report from the
Police committee. In response to
chairman Freeman's inquiry as to
what was wanted he said he thought
that the public was demanding some
action of the committee or that be-
ing lacking, that the council as
whole should act in police affairs
because the public was tired of in
action. Freeman replied, al believe
the committee is unanim ous in be-
lieving that the police force is not
active enough in discharge of its
duties and belleve that the condl-
tions should by brought up to the
mayor and rectifed. The public is
wild about the matter. | am
stopped repeatedly by people who
have complaints to make" In re-
sponse to Stewards query whether
the members of the police commit
tee planned to resign their member
ship on that committee, Freeman
SAID that they would do SO provided
the committee could not have its
wishes carried out.
Nation, member of the commit
tee, stated that 1t is the prevailing
opinion in town that liquor is being
sold to an unbearable extent, that
there is a general kick that the law
is not being enforced, that though
he did not know whose fault it is
there is a general feeling that the
police department is direlict in duty.
The third member of the commit
tee, Filson, spoke particularly OF
his understanding that many arrests
are made and the persons later
turned loose instead Of being
brought into court and fined. He
wanted these charges investigated
and the method stopped as condi-
tions are getting worse instead OF
better. He insisted that all persons
arrested should be brought into
court.
Bideau stated emphatically that
he believed there is too much law
lessness in Chanute, and that when
men are arrested they are not
handled properly. "This soft
hearted business in the police force
is foolishness. If we haven't a
police force that can grapple with
conditions we ought to have"
Johnson referred to the promises of
the men elected at the spring elec-
ton and that 1t is shame to the :
council and administration to allow
such conditions to exist as is now
the case as regards drunkenness and
bootlegging. Stewart spoke sPecih-
cally of the police committees re-
quest of the mayor that he do
certain things and that a promised
conference between the mayor and
the committee had not matenalized.
Hedeen stated briefly that he didn't
