CHICAGO HEIGHTS STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 3 DEEP WELL IS HELD UP FOR THE PRESENT (Continued from page repairs should be made. The manufacturers were insistent, too, that the present wells be reamed out, and that a new pump be provided. Commissioner Fett and Superintendent Mastin were directed to make a survey of the plant and report what is Heeded to put it in good working condition. The city council snarled up a bit Monday morning when the Manufacturers' association presented a letter regarding the contract for a new deep well, and intimated that legal complications might follow if the speciflea- cations were not lived up to. For the time being the matter was smoothed over by the mayor and comnjissioners agreeing to meet the committee yesterday morning to thrash over the matter.

Judging from the letter, the manufacturers' believe that a well finishing 12 inches in diameter will give water enough, and be less expensive than a well finishing 15 inches. But they appeared to have the understanding that the contract which was voted be let to Mr. Geiger at the meeting Monday, Febniary 13, provided for a 12-inch finish, and while they are in favor of that sort of a well, they don't want any hitch in the matter. They say: Cite Facts in the t'ase 'The fact is hereby cited to you that both the proposal and request for bids clearly imply a 13-inch well. To ignore this provision or try to transform the meaning mto a 12-inch well would invite legal entanglements which we are sure you desire to avoid.

Inasmuch as our requirements are conceded to be a 12-inch well and the legal notice you served cannot be construed in any other way than for a 15-inch well, there might be a question as to whether you can legally award a contract under that notice and your specifications for a 12-inch well and that the safe.st solution of the difficulty is to set aside the bid and read vert i Be for the kind of well needed." After challenging some of the statements made at the council meet- Ing of February 13, regarding the fire in the Victor Chemical plant, the letter continued: "We wish to remain on record as urging that the wells at the pumping station be put in such first-class order that we will get the maximum yield of water from them, which we believe will be sufficient to meet the present demand with the anticipation that the water level will be materially enhanced with the coming of spring, as it has been in the past. We want to take issue with some of the statements made at the February 13 meeting. From our information we are very firm in the opinion that it is perfectly practical and expedient to not only clqan out but increase the diameter of our present wells believing this work to be of a character generally practlcel by compe- tnet well diggers." Agree to Meeting When the communication was read by the clerk, Commissioner Murphy moved to file it, and Commissioner Fett seconded the motion. The mayor suggested that consideration be given the manufacturer's request for a conference, and this was agreed to, after which the communication, was ordered filed. A communication was read from the Illinois commerce commission informing the council that the hearing on the subway under the Chicago Eastern Illinois tracks at Fifteenth street was set for Tuesday, February 27.

The mayor and all the commissioners present promised td attend the hearing. Commisioner Curtis was absent on account of illness. Rebates were allowed to J. Sod- mius, keeper of a soft drink parlor at 342 East Fourteenth street, of $58.73, and of $6.57 on a tobacco license. A Stankum got a rebate of $58.34 on his soft drink license.

This regulation was to" be established by general order of the head of the department. The council then adjourned and reconvened as the board of local improvements. No business came before the board, except public hearings on various improvements. The first was the widening of Hoisted street from Fifteenth to Sixteenth streets. William Waddington was the first speaker, and he favored the.

proposition. Harry Hood followed. He opposed it, saying that there was already a curve in the street north of Sixteenth and the widening would accentuate this instead of decreasing it. He could see some reason for a move that was designed to straighten the street, but that result would not ensue from the present proposition. Under the circumstances he did not see why the property owners should be put to the expense of the improvement.

Mrs. Lewis had title to property on West End avenue, and she said this improvement would, cause her have her deed changed so that the property would be on Halsted street. Then, too, there were coal holes to be put in, and she didn't see why she should pay for coal holes when she didn't need any for her property. Halsted Street Hideninir Engineer McCoy explained that the name of West End avenue had been changed to Halsted street by act of the city council, and that her deed was not affeeted by the change. Further, he said some coal holes would be demolished in making the improvement, and they must be reconstructed.

H. Blackball was the last speaker. He favored the improvement. He said it should be attended to before the lighting system was completed, as it would be difficult to accomplish thereafter. He also said it would cause the high-tension wires to come down, which was desirable.

At least 80 per cent of the property owners were in favor of the improvement, Mr. Blackball said. The council passed the second resolution providing for the improvement. Illinois Street Sewers next hearing was on the construction of an eight-inch sanitary tile sewer in Illinois street on the south side, east from Oak street. No opposition thereto was manifest, and the second resolution was passed.

The final hearing was on the construction of a similar sewer on the north side of Illinois street, from Oak street east. Mr. Siegel appeared to 5O GOOD CIGARETTES iit GENUINE "BULL" DURHAM TOBACCO oppose the improvement. He said he had a sewer through the alley in the rear of his premises, and did not need another. Engineer McCoy explained that the alley sewer emptied into the storm sewer and that all sanitary sewer must empty into sanitary sewers, and not into storm sewers.

No other objectors appearing, the second resolution for this improvement was passed, and th? council adjourned. OBITUARY Robert F.

An Unnecessary Loss The Department of Public Health at Springfield says: "Notwithstanding; the fact that Chicago lost less children under one year of age last year than ever before, 4,846 in that classification died during the year.

The potential value a child life to the state bjas been estimated at $4,000. Chicago's loss in babies for the year 922 reaches the astounding total of almost twenty millions of dollars. Add to this the loss down- state, and the total will reach approximately fifty millions of dollars. For 1920, Chicago lost 6,677 babies, under one year of age, representing 16.3 per cent of the city's total mortality. In 1921 the percentage of deaths in the same class was 15.31 and for January of the present year 14.9.

Chicago figures are used for the reason that no other Illinois city furnishes figures of equal statistical value. With these figures blazoned where he who will may read, the citizen of Illinois should realize the urgent demand for child hygiene work. There should be a child hygiene station in every city in the state." GET TOUR ADS IN EARLY. NOVEX A I There are any amount of radios, but many of them catch all aerial sounds in one grand jumble.
