Yet an interested reader can go
chase himself all around the pages of
this annual report and find not line
on who keeps the cash and how much
interest is paid on it.
President of the board is John Bar

of the law firm of Winston, Payne,

Joseph Donnersberger, auditor, is

These are the commissioners,

amounts to.

READ SOUTH PARK COMMISSIONERS REPORT
AND REMAIN IGNORANT OF WHAT'S DOING

Anybody who wants good sample
of bum bookkeeping on public money
can find it in the annual report of the
South Park commissioners.
Pages and pages of figures and no
information on the real stuff wise cit
liens want to know.
What are the cash deposits of the
South Park commissioners It isn't
told.
What bank keeps the cash? You
can't find it in this annual report.
How much was the interest on cash
deposits and was fair and square
amount of interest paid for use of
war time cash?
George Reynolds, president Cont
mental & Commercial bank, is the
treasurer of the South Park board.
If he furnished directors of his bank
as loose and meaningless report as
the annual park board George Rey-
nolds would get one loud horse laugh
and be ushered out of Office in about
the time it takes to fry an egg. I
OF course George Reynolds is not
responsible. 1t is the South Park COM
missioners who are. They go on year
after year, offering this muddy, mud
died annual report.
AS we turn the pages of the report
we see that it cost $6.31 to clean ma
nure from Jackson park bouleVards
and $14.91 for the same kind of work
on Washington park boulevards.
And we learn it cost $368.69 in 1914
to feed the squirrels and birds of the
South park system.
What we can't find out is whether
there was $1,000,000 or &,000,000 on
deposit in some bank and how much
interest was paid on the cash.
The South park system owns
2.043.98 acres of the best land in the

SAYS THOUSANDS OF COOK co.
DECISIONS ARE ILLEGAL

That thousands of decisions hand
ed down in the county courts by
county judges have been illegal be-
cause of the manner of appointing
these jurists is the claim of States
Atty Hoyne. He is taking two cases
into the appellate court to decide the
point.
Country. judges have been called,
into Cook county for service by
Judges of the circuit court. Hoyne
says this is not the proper method
and that the supreme court only has
the right to assign men to county
benches.
Great numbers of decisions, involv-
ing thousands of divorce cases alone
where litigants may have again mar
ried, may be declared unlawful and
the cases reopened.

TO PETITION AUSTRIA
For Release of Dr. Brodsky, Distin-
 guished VioIinist.

New York, Feb. 15.-Tne state de- partment will be asked shortly to pre- sent to the Austrian government, through the American ambassador at Vienna, a petition for the release of Dr. Adolph Brodsky, the distinguished violinist, who is interned in an Aus trian concentration camp. The peti- tion is signed by fellow musicians, resident in this country, all of them prominent in their profession.
 Musicians of all nationalities and syrnpatnies," says a statement issued last night in behalf of the petitioners, "have taken an interest in this plan for one whom they recognize as 2. master in his art, upon the ground that art is international,' but the sig natures have been confined to, those who are American citizens or resident in America, as it is intended to have the petition presented to the Austrian government through our state depart ment.''

TO USE CANAL.
Sailing Vessels Can Pass Through
 Isthmian Waterway.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The Isth- milan canal authorities have been agreeably surprised at the disposi- tion shown by the Maritime interests to use the canal for sailing vessels, as it had been assumed that the canal would derive no revenue from this source As a matter of fact, four sailing vessels already have passed through the canal and dem- onstrated that it can be used econom- ically by that class of ships.
 It has been reckoned that, using the canal, a sailing vessel may make the trip from New York to San Fran cisco in sixty days, while it would re- quire 140 days to make the voyage by way of Cape Horn. Calculat- ing the trade winds and general wea- ther conditions, the round trip by way of Cape Horn occupies about 125 days It Is figured that under average conditions, a vevssell would save about eighty. days by using the canal, which would mean an approx innate saving of $3,300, allowing $2,- 700 for cost of passing through the canal.
