Advises Against Sanitary Project Pantagraph: I hope that Editor and tax payers will be the voters alive to their interests on December will be called upon to 20, when we express to our assume a willingness burden of $400,000 or unwillingness additional bonds to carry out the plans of the Sanitation I as Board tc our valleys and sewers. May shall express A few reasons why I vote, No. First. The time is Inopportune. We have gotten along for many years with the conditions as they are now We have had no real deaths or sickness from the Sugar Creek valley, The only thing which this plan will remove is a disagreeable smell.

Coming as it does when the taxespecially the small home payers, literally groaning with owners are the burden of tax which we have had to bear for real necessities, past and present: Comes this board and ly demands the biggest single burden that the city has ever faced. Some of us have requested the Sanitation Board to hold off at least one year more. Or at least to wait until the state board demands direct action To these reasonable requests, made in June, the board replied thru their attorney that they had no intention to act, but wished to get data, 50 they might be ready when the state ordered action. They still frankly admit that the state board has made no move to compel their action and yet with unexplainable zeal they call a special election, which we must pay for to ask us to saddle this extravagant plan of their high priced engineers on ourselves. Not with my vote while I can claim a fair amount of common sense.

Second. The plan as outlined is extravagant in the extreme. The state law demands that the sewage must be purified to a certain degree before it is allowed to run down stream. This board does not seem content to carry out the law, but uses its high and arbitrary power to purchase a wide strip of land thruout the valley and to deepen and widen and straighten Sugar Creek and maintain a great unsightly open ditch, which as it adds to the present capacity of the channel not less than six times its present volume it will probably never be bank full. They have already used a tidy sum of our money to make a survey of the whole drainage district and are heralding to the people that they find 1,300 basements that get flooded at certain times.

They were frank enough to admit, when pressed that the deepening of the valley ditch would not remedy this excepting in. a very small area where people built knowing the conditions. The only reply they made to our urging a much moderate sized ditch was, that the engineers had not so planned it Third. This 'will be the biggest single cost that we have ever faced and every tax payer must help pay it while the benefits will be only to a very few houses in the district and a few farmers down stream. All the people who have complained have tolerated this condition for fifty years but now they see an opportunity to enhance their property value at other people's expense, so naturally they are doing all that they can to expedite it.

The board frankly admits the injustice of this, I believe, but state as an apology that the state law does not give them the power to assess the taxes upon those who get the benefit. Let us remember also that if we vote $400,000 we are involving ourselves in a plan that wil' cost at least a million dollars. For this first plan will lay a foundation that will be worthless unless the whole plan 1s carried out. Think what viaducts we could bulla for our safety with that What pavements for our comfort. What lights for our protection.

What libraries for our enlightenment. What churches for our betterment. What charities for our poor. Against this the board proposes to spend a great deal of money to vacate a lot of land, and to run a great ditch thru it and to buy a great fleld for an operating plant, not to speak of special surveys, junketing trips, high, priced engineers, high priced attorneys and special elections. Fourth, I believe that with few exceptions the city officers of both cities are opposed to the present project.

The sanitation boards of both Associations of Commerce, who have studied the subject are not in favor of it and I believe that any who will investigate it as we have done! and compare the expense with the benefit will soon be convinced of the needlessness of much of the plan at' the present time. I believe that if board would revise their plans, with 8 view of making the burden' as light as possible on the poor tax payers and would cut the plan to the least possible expense, instead of as it appears to me, listening to the high priced engineers and those directly benefited that they would stand a much better chance of carrying their project. As it is presented to us now I shall vote No, because believe the time inopportune and the plan extravagant. CLARK E. STEWART.

World's largest salmon canning at South Bellingham, Washington, In the Railway World CONTRACTORS TAKE OVER CHUTES TUESDAY Louis Citro, the labor contractor who has made a contract with the Chicago Alton to furnish the labor for coaling stations of the comglue takes over the Bloomington plant Tuesday. He arrived in the city Saturday to make arrangements with the present employes. There are ten men who are employed in operating the coal chutes. sand house and water cranes. They have been working eight hours and have been paid on the average $90 per month.

The contractor offers them the privilege of working ten hours per day and with a scale of $100 per month. Under the new arrangement, however, the men engaged will be required to do whatever is asked of them. In the past, the various jobs have been distinctive.

The Chicago Alton and most of the other western roads have a welcome little gift which they plan to slip into the stockings of the traveling public. It is announced that the long missing holiday excursion rates are be restored.

It has been decided to make a round trip rate of a fare and a half to all points where the one fare rate is $1.50 or more, and not more than $25.
