1t was brought to the attention of
the reviewers that circulars are be-
ing sent out to property owners urging
them to place their tax matters in the
hands of certain organization,
which charges a percentage for all
reductions secured from the board of
review.
Such action is wholly unnecessary,
members of the board of review as

pear before the board in person will
receive more 1enient treatment than
if they are represented by attorneys
or organizations that make a special

Property owners should beware
such organizations" said Stephen A.

we have such evidence, involving

Lake Calumet is to be turned into
a great new inland industrial harbor
for Chicago. This is an important
part of the plan to make Chicago the
central shipping point between Eu-
rope and the middle west, via the new
st. Lawrence river canals.
The city council has just adopted
an ordinance for digging a deep chan
mel third of a mile wide and two
and half miles long straight through
the middle of the present lake. A
dozen slips will branch out from this
channel.
The remainder of Lake Calumet is
to be filed in. The new made land is
expected to more than pay the cost
of the huge undertaking, and it will
belong to the city. That cost is esti-
mated at less than s3,50o,0O0.
