THE CITY "exPERT" GRAFT.

For years the graft pulled off by
city real estate experts" has been a
scandal to the good name of Chicago.
II is getting worse instead of better
as. witness the disclosures recently
made regarding the fees paid so-called
experts employed by the city during
the last year. mostly in connection
with the widening of Twelfth street
and the Michigan avenue boulevard
link.
A special subcommittee of the
finance committee OF the city council,
Aid. Willis o. Nance, chairman. held
hearings last week on the subject, and
they aroused much interest not only
among the taxpayers In general but
also among the better class OF real es
tate men. including members OF the
Chicago and Cook county real estate
boards.
They feel that the facts brought to
light regarding the excessive fees paid
some Of the so-called experts have
not only seemed In the public estima,
ton to reflect upon real estate men of
acknowledged high standing, some of
them board members, but also to a Ger.
tain extent upon the real estate bust.
ness itself.
A special committee Of the Cook
county board, Charles Ringer, chair.
man, two years ago urged the finance
committee OF the council to change the
system of selecting these experts. and
last week Mr.. Ringer expressed the
opinion that some sort of q civil serv
ice test might be devised which would
eliminate these unfit men. A. j
Brockman, who served with Mr. Ring
er, also expressed the opinion there
should be some sort of standard quail
fications fixed. II Is stated that Rob
ert l.. l.. Brooks, the newly elected
president OF the board, will In a few
days, name IA taxation committee, one
of whose duties will be to go into the
matter of the employment of real es
tate experts.
Perkins y. Bass. recently elected
president OF the Chicago real estate
board, has also addressed a letter tC
Aid. Nance expressing his will
ingness 10 appoint committee to co

tee with the view OF reaching som,
plan whereby the service OF compe

for this work on a reasonable basis.

is 1542 inches, and indicates the
year 1912 B. G.. Next we must
measure down the e ntrance pas
sage from that point and find the
distance to the entrance Of the
."Pit," which evidently means the
great time Of trouble and destruc-
ton to come upon the world. The
distance is 3457 inches, indicating
1857 years from the date B. G.

subtract the portion Of this lying

which, as you know, is 1912 years

then the pOluL where 1Hc oCCohu
passage branches off from the
first and starts upward must re-
present the call Of Abraham-the
point in time where the Chosen
People were set apart for a special
work in the world. There was
some question as to just when the
separate history Of the Chosen
People should begin. Some said
it was when Moses led them out
Of Egypt and started for the Pro
missed Land. Thus while the call
of Abraham was evidently their
lreal origin as a separate people,
we must remember that they
wandered in the wilderness for
over 400 years before really get
