SANITARY BOARD
MAY Be ABOLISHED
HOUSE WATERWAY COMMITTEE
CALLS olsTAlcT CHIEFS TO
SPRINGFIELD - CONSOLIDATE
WITH STATE GOVERNMENT.

Springfield, Ill, Jan. 31.-MemDers
Of the sanitary district board of Chi
cago must appear before the water
ways committee OF the house next
Wednesday Afternoon az M, OF
take the responsibility of ignoring the
eommittee's citation. The action OF
the committees, taken late yesterday
afternoon is the first step toward leg
islation having in view The abolition
OF the district and its consolidation
with the state government.
Charles l.. Fieldstack, of Chicago.
chairman CT the waterways committee
explained to the committee at its iirst
meeting yesterday afternoon that ne
had heard objections TO the method
of handling the affairs of the sanitary
district and suggested that the board
be asked to come in and explain what
advantage there is in having II con-
tinue as a separate organization. II
would be in harmony with Governor
Lowdens consolidation plan, 1t is said,
to place this department under the
general state department OF public
works. This would also help to secure
a short ballot and probably would save
considerable money.
1t is understood that Fieldstack has
a bill making this provision which he
intends to introduce and that the cit.
ing of the members before the com
mitsee is merely preparatory step.
The sanitary district is a huge cor
poration spending more than $4,000.
900 per year. It also handles consid-
cradle money in the way of receipts.
The Fieldstack suggestion was in the
nature of bomb. 1t came without
previous announcement and was a
complete surprise to most members OF
the house.
