CHICAGO GETS NEW BEACH

Chicago will have swimming hole
de luxe in operation when the mer-
curry begins its first climb next sum-
mer. The beach commission of the
city council today agreed upon plans
for bathing beach to cost S330,000,
with frontage of 738 feet and built
along the north shore, already popu-
lar with bathers.
Plans for construction of the new
beach were made after the commits
sion visited Atlantic City and several
other Eastern summer resorts. The
main bath house will be of brick,
stone and concrete. There will be a
pavilion, broad promenade, a kim
dergarten for the youngsters and a
nursery where mothers may leave
their babes while they romp in the
lake.
The commission will recommend
that persons not in bathing costume
be barred from the sand and COM
PEELED to remain on the promenade.
A space will be roped off for the ex-
elusive use of women bathers and the
remainder of the beach left open for
mixed bathing. The commission pro-
posed that the city make the nominal
charge of 10 cents for adult bathers
and five cents for children under fif-
teen to make the beach self-sustain-
ing. q

Buffalo Nickles
Growing Scarce

The newly coined buffalo" nickels.
which were in circulation few months
ago in great number. have dropped
out of sight and ii is said they are
rarely received over bank counters here
at the present time. Even large
handlers of the smaller coins are not
turning in many of the buffalo"
nickels. The sudden shortage is eX-
planned by some bankers in that many
persons are boarding the new coins
as souvenirs and with the thought
that they will soon go out of circula-
ton entirely and will demand prem
ium in a few years. Comparatively .
small coinage was expected this year.
and those who came in possession Of
the new coins held them. Color 10
given to this theory in the case OF a
man who deposited recently I'll in the
new nickels, saying that he was tired
of boarding them.
The coinage of all silver and baser
metal coins has been unusually small
this year. Money Of 1913 coinage is
very scarce, and the work at the gov
eminent minis has been slow. 1t has
been the custom of the government to
strike a medal every four years in
commemora,ion of the inauguration Of
the president and these medals usually
appear a few months after the inaug-
uration. The Wilson medal, now long
past due, has not yet appeared from
the mint.

Is Seantiiy ALFRED.
CRAWLING TRANscoNTlNEnrAL
Another Plan Fer Board to Proceed
Under SPECIAL District Code.

Anent the idea If raisig 500 public
subscriptions ct SO per year for I'VE
Years. and signing up farmers at $50
per quarter section per annum or less
for sraveling the transcontinental
route across Marshall county, there is
another method provided in chapter e5
OF the code. whereby the board OF su-
peryisors could create a special i'm
provement district Of all lands bene-
flied by this road improvement and
could assess half the cost TO the land
on the ten-year assessment plan. max
ing special levy upon the county at
large. including city property, with
which 10 pay the other half.
The procedure is this: Owners of a
majority OF the acres in the proposed
district would have 20 petition for the
improvement. This would require some
work on the part Of committee TO cir
cula;e the petitions. The county audi
tor would then order the county en-
gineer 10 make the survey. pla,s. and
prohles, and file them with the board
Of SUPERVISORS. The supervisors would
then order the work done. let the con-
tracts and make a special levy with
which TO pay the county's half OF the
cost. The beard would then appoint
/! three dis.nterested appraisers to ap-
portion the other half of the cost equic-
ably over the land in the special Gis-
trict according 5 il had been benefited,
anc the supervisors would then issue
assessment certificates against the
land. giving each land owner the right
TO waive protest and take ten yea rs
to pay his tax at per cent interest
Under this plan one-fourth Of ! mill
| for ten years would pay the county s
| half OF the twenty-five miles Of i'm
| proved road while the assessments
would probably fall upon the lands
| benefited at the rate of SO per annum
| for quarter sections abutting the grav-
eleG road. and s. per annuIn for each
| quarter section lying within TWO miles
Of the improved road, all running 20,
| ten years.
| Half of mill for the county. and the
same per quarter section. as above
| would gravel this road and one other
from Laurel to the Grundy county line
This is ali il would cost TO build q
perfectly graveled road for twenty 1--WE
or for fifty miles across this county
under the present statutes One and
a half mills and 80 per quarter sector
or less for ten years would grave
every mile OF county road in Marshal
county as now designated.
