AS a result representations are now

withdrawal from Mexico of German
diplomatic agents and possibly the
German minister to Mexico. Count

These representations are shroud-

WANT WATERWAY
BILL REPEALED
FOES OF DUNNE MEASURE SEEK
TO HAVE LEGISLATURE SET
ASIDE ACTION CALLING FOR
ReHABILlTATiNG THE ILLINOIS
RIVER.

The Dunno waterway measure was
attacked from new angle today
when bill was presented in the
house OF representatives ar Spring.
field, providing for he repeal of the
waterway legislation enacted during
the regime OF Governor Dunno.
The author OF the repeating bill Is
Representative Clarence A. Jones, of
Springfield. His measure was refer
red to the waterways committee OF
the house, where the new light on the
Dunno project will have It's start.
This same committee has q bill which
aims TO wipe Out the sanitary dis
trCt OF Chicago, and put the control
of the drainage channel in one OF he
municipal departments in Chicago
Downstate VS.. River Counties.
AS The result of a conference held
Monday Governor Lowden mas under
consideration request on the par.
OF the Dunno waterway commission
that immediate steps be taken tc
commence construction of the chan
mel in the Joliet district, az provided
/ in the bill passed over two years ago
The state supreme court has recent
" ruled that the Dunno measure /.
constitutional.
According to reports from Spring
field, the division in the general as
sembly over the repeating measure
offered by Representatives Jones vii
not be along party lines, but viii b'
! rather n contest between Chicago an,
Illinois valley cities on the one hand
and down.state interests not directl.
connected with the waterway rout'
on the other
Effects Sanitary district Plans.
The repeating measure may not b
successful, but ii Is likely that as
result of the discussion which is sur
to ensue. the waterway issue Ela
eome in for comprehensive consider
atCn, with a possibility of new legi'
lation.
One of The rumors is that the san
tary district Of Chicago would not D
adverse to the repeal of the Dunn
measure, provided the districts plan
for the water power development
Joliet could be assured. The distri,
for years have been extremely an!
ous to get possession OF the Wate
power resources in the Joliet teri
tory, and is willing to spend severi
millions of dollars to that end. Wor
under the state measure would SIN
, off tho districts chances in joliet.
