EVERETT TO GET ON CARPET
Third Ward Alderman Makes Serious
Charges Against Street Commissioners
of South Division-Council Lets Con-
tracts for Sewers and Curbing.

The investigation of the city engin-
eer and his connection with contracts
for city work, failed to materialize at
the meeting of the common council on
Wednesday evening a big crowd of
interested taxpayers thronged the lob
b. of the council chamber but when the
matter was reached Alderman James
Filbin, who had made the charges
against the city engineer, asked that
further time be granted him to produce
his proof and the request was granted
without even the sign of an argument.
The engineer had fortified himself with
records and he had witnesses on hand
to prove that he was not in any way
connected with the contracts but they
did not get a chance to tell their
stories to the council. The matter was
left open indefinitely. The same
course was taken in regard to the pro-
posed revocation of the license of
Michael Steinbach as a drain layer and
Alderman Hegeman, chairman of the
sewer committee, declared that he had
looked into this matter and that he
would ask for further time for Mr..
Steinbach
One new investigation was ordered
by the council. This was an examina-
tion into the work of Joseph Everett
street commissioner of the south divi-
sion. Alderman Hegeman launched
formal charges of neglect of duty
against Everett and he was instructed
to appear before the council at the next
regular meeting and present his defense
to the charges.
No action was taken in regard to the
bill for extras for the trunk sewer and
no effort was made to bring up the mat
ter. The report of the expert engineer
employed by the city is not yet ready
for action by the council and the CON
tractors themselves made 10 demand
for any payment on the sewer BILL
Claims for damages to property by
the grade on Lake avenue were filed
with the council and these were re-
ferred to the committee on claims with
the committee on streets and alleys add
ed in hopes that some adjustment of
the troubles can be made.
The council received a petition sign
ed by all property owners asking for
the vacation of the alley leading to the
new property of the Standard Oil Com
pany on the west side of the city and
the city attorney was instructed to pre-
pare an ordinance which will provide
for such vacation.
Petitions were received asking for the
paving Of Edward street between Park
and Market streets and Park street
from Newell to Edward streets and an
effort will be made to have both pieces
OF pavement completed this year.
Contracts were let for sewers on
Fleet, Evergreen, Julius, Symonds, New
streets and Salem avenue and the con-
tract for curling South Ashland
avenue was awarded to Fred Priddis
with the understanding that the work
is to be started at once. The contracts
for the repair of the Main street bridge
and for the building of the proposed
breakwater at the north end of Lake
avenue were held open until the next
council meeting.

The somer Greys defeated the Sill
yer Sr 'ings Sunday afternoon at the
SilVe~ Springs diamond by the score of
3 to o. Clever pitching on the part
of Birch and his ability to hold the
Springs on the bases and also the
Springs getting eleven hits and unable
to score had much to do with the de-
feat, The Springs did not play up to
their usual standard allowing the
Greys three runs before settling down.
The latter part of the game was il.
teresting as both team settled down
and played fast ball, the game being
played in one hour and five minutes.

Filtration.

"The fltering Of water through sand
beds and other mechanical devices has
not proven entirely satisfactory and we
are also informed that the expense Of
installing an up-to-date first class fl
tration plant with an adequate capacity
for our present and future needs would
entail an expenditure Of from $4,000
to $250,000. We believe our Commits
sioners acted wisely in adopting the
hypo-chlorite system for immediate re-
lief, but owing to the fact that our
water supply is so contaminated, it re-
quires an abnormal amount Of this
chemical to purify same, consequently
affecting the water to more or less
degree as it is now being used and it
does not eliminate the suspended mat
tor.
"The information furnished your
Committee by DR.. Barlow, superinten-
dent of the Illinois State Water Survey,
and the daily tests being made at our
local water works has been Of great
value in determining the purity of the
water. From test samples taken at
various points, it is a question in the
minds of your Committee as to whether
the result of these tests should be taken
into consideration, in view of the fact
that practically ninety per cent of the
samples tested was taken from the sur
face of the water which in our opinion
does not indicate what could be fur
nished through our intake if it was To-
Gated at a proper distance from the
shore, avoiding shore currents and in
a sufficient depth of water.
cit is rumored that sooner or later
the Government through legislation
will issue imperative orders that the
dumping of sewage into the lake shall
cease, and while we have no definite in
formation at this time, we believe that
the time is short when such orders shall
be received Another reason why we
hesitate in recommending the construc-
ton Of a filtration plant, for when we
cease to pollute our supply of water,
the question of purity of same will be
solved and we would very much dislike
to recommend an expenditure of the
amount necessary to be left on our
hands as a monument. -

FAIL TO URGE FILTRATION
Committee After Long Investigation
Declares Filtration Would be Costly
and That it is Feared That it Would
Not Furnish Relief

Officials of the city have received
from the commission at Waukegan a
report of water conditions as found in
that city after an extensive investiga-
ton. The report is particularly inter
esting here as practically the same con-
ditions prevail at Kenosha as at Wau-
kegan. The Waukegan committee has
gone deeply into the question of filtra-
tion and extension of intake the same
problems that have been brought up at
Kenosha. The report says in part:
"The epidemic of typhoid fever re-
Gently experienced by our city is evil
dence that conditions are radically
wrong and it is imperative that steps
be taken at once to obviate the recur-
renee of said epidemic. In our opinion
it is not a question of expense, but a
question of recommending and execut-
ing plan which will bring immediate
relief. The horror of death and sorrow
brought to our midst by a condition that
is Immediately under the control of our
city representatives should enlist every
citizen to the loyal support of our Com
missioners in their endeavor to furnish
our innocent children and helpless babes
with one of the most important neces-
stiles of life, water.
cit is conservatively estimated that
there is expended in our city yearly, APP
proximately $4,000 by private citizens
for water for household use, the supply
being furnished by various springs and
artesian wells, fact that we do not
believe is generally understood or ap-
preciated by great many of our citi-
mans
