LOUIS AREA Mayor J. J. Keeve's plan of sewage disposal for Jacksonville received further endorsement, when business men of the city in attendance at the Chamber of Commerce forum last night voted to approve his recommendations, Not a dissenting vote was cast by those in attendance. First approval of Mayor plan came at his initial public presentation of the proposition to the city council Monday night. A move to concur in Mr.

Iiei-ve's recommendations came last night at the forum meeting after the matter had been presented by the mayor and freely discussed by many of the members of the Chamber of Commerce attending. Dr. B. McClelland, president of the Illinois Woman's college, presided as chairman of the Other problems that confront the city were presented including the traffic problem, which was discussed at length, and the need of more hard roads into the city. The forum voted to request the state administration to give Morgan county citizens a hearing on Hie proposed three routes in the near future.

The necessity of action toward the construction of sewage disposal plants in the city was brought out at the meeting. In addition to the need of proper means for sewage disposal from a sanitary viewpoint the fact that there is now a court injunction in force against the (ity which requires that provision lor disposal be made within a period of four years, was also brought out. The injunction writ issued in circuit court recently when farmers west of the city brought suit against the city of Jacksonville, contending that sewage flowing down the Mau- vaisteere (reek, thru their lands, was a menace to their health and 'damaged their farm lands. After explaining the purpose of the meeting last night, Dr. McClelland introduced Mayor Reeve, who in addition to speak, i on the sewage disposal problem.

spoke of other problems that now confront the city. The need ior proper disposal of sewage, however, he said, is the most import ant. Explains IMan He explained the plan he had for providing for sewage disposal, the plan being identical with that presented to the aldermen in ses- sien Monday night The mayor ad voca is the const ruct ion of two plants, one in the nort.h part of the city and another to the south lb- would finance plants by special assessment rather than creating a sanitary district, contending that the plan of building disposal plants thru the creation of a district is the more expensive. He remarked that the state of Illinois thru its various institu- 1 ions in Jacksonville, contribute 1 one-third ot the sewage that i- earied bv the city's sew- ei and added that lie was in touch with the state's authorities and hoped for an amicable arrangement whereby the state would pay its full share. question of whether South Jacksonville would share in the benefits derived from the plant arose, and was answered by the mayor who stated that there is now a law whereby two may cooperate on sewage disposal problems.

Former Mayor Crabtree said the sewer problem is the largest that this city has to deal with, remarking that a city without an adequate sewer system is incomplete. "We need and must have disposal plants," Mr Crabtree said It was his belief that the most practical plan is to finance the plants by special assessment. Referring to the parking and ra ft i problem Mr Crabtree said that it was at least an indication that Jacksonville is a live city or ii would be in need of parking regulations He then brought up the matter of a public road hearing in Springfield, which forum voted to ask state authorities for. I I lear A pproves Dr. A 1 toi lea voiced his approval of Mayor plan for sewage disposal, remarking that there would be opposition to any plan presented since pocket book would be pirn bed in assisting in the payment for the plant Dr Dollear said it is not only i lie roject of wanting to provide for proper sewage disposal.

but a case of having to do it. He cited improvements now being made by the Norbury Sanatorium company, of which he is a nn mber. as evidence of his faith ir. Jacksonville and its proper sewage disposal. Friendly criticism should be welcomed, he added.

and the proposed plan be boosted with enthusiasm. R. Y. Rowe vice-president of the American Bankers Insurance stated that the disposal of sewage in Jacksonville is an emergency situation, that people must approve. J.

Merrigan spoke his approval of the plan presented hv Mayor Reeve, re- marking that the fact that no ac-! tion had been taken in previous! years- to solve the sewage problems, was a sin of ommission to be dolt with now. B. F. Shafer, superintendent of schools, approved Mayor plan and stated that citizens owed it to city officials to get behind the proposal and put it over. Dr.

I W. H. Newcomb, health officer, spoke on the proposition from a health standpoint, pointing out that the Brook, which would he RINGS, PINS, CHAINS RUSSELL THOMPSON cleaned up along with the construction of sewers, was responsible for many typhoid cases. An adequate sewer system is just as important as a good water supply, he said. Cleon M.

Bell, of the Power- Regg Backing company, inquired of Mayor Reeve the difference in 1 financing the construction of the! plants by creating a sanitary district or by special assessment, and was informed that the cost to the packing company would he approximately ten per cent more if financed by the sanitary district system. P. Alvey of the Illinois Power and Light corporation approved Mr. Reeve's proposition, adding that it was sound. A.

C. Metcalf of the Illinois college also voiced approval of the plan. Following this discussion a motion was made, seconded and approved unanimously that the forum endorse the plan as presented by Mayor Reeve. CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE TOTALS $249 Added Remittances Boost Total of Yuh'tide Stickers More Contributors non need. Seal returns, yesterday totaled according to Mrs.

Louise Schneider, local seal director. All who have received seals in the mail are urged to either return seals or remittances as soon as possible to make way for the sale by school children which begins Friday afternoon, December 9th and extends thru Wednesday, December 14th. Mrs Schneider especially urges all those not intending to purchase seals to return them as the local supply of seals was exhausted yesterday, and a hasty call to the State Association office at Springfield revealed the fact that the demand for Christmas seals is so heavy this year that both the State Association and the National Association are completely out of Christmas Seals, and both Associations are hoping that sections not using their entire quota of seals will return unused portions. In the mail yesterday came letters wishing success to the local seal sale from Frank Strawn. Bland, John Leach and Rev A K.
