By a vote ot 12 to 2 the Bvanston city council In-its regular weekly meeta«s Tuesday light grantedIts ap- proval for the letting of the contract tor the erection and equipment of a nitration plant. The Norwood com- pany of Chicago was found to be the lowest bidder when the new bids were opened by Chairman Knapp and mem- bers of the water committee at 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The plant will cost $186,494, this being the exact bid this company offered when the first bids were taken. Aldermen Burns and Witt were the only two solons to oppose the grant ing of approval for the erection of the plant. It was one of the warmest meetings In the history of the council and was featured with a great amountof ora- tory, both eloquent and otherwise, on the part of Aldermen Burns, Turnock id Carter. Burns Persistent Objector. Alderman Burns became a persist- ent factor from the opening of the meeting in opposing the proposition. He occupied nearly forty minutes by aiakrac requests of Alderman, Knapp lor toe reading of certain commnnica- â- from the various companies and jtseers in regard to the detail of t|e erection of the plant After the communications were TWd, discussed and explained by the etoirman of the committee and the wporation counsel, Burns suggested pt an amendment should be made fthe motion which would carry with guarantee that the plant when com- peted would be efficient. To,make Us point clear he wrote an amend- ment, which wai pssed to the corpo- ntkra counsel for decision. Upon re- viewing it the city's attorney state* that it was meaningless and that it fas evidently written in haste As there was no second to the amend- xwnt the roll call was ordered. Mr. Barns, upon the call of his name, vade a long speech In which he stated that the erection of a filtration plant was a-gigantic undertaking and that a guarantee fthould go with the let Jtag of the contract. Aldermen Car- ter and Turnock explained what had keen done during |he preliminary work «.nd argued that the city was fell fortified against any inefficiency owing to the fact that the work was to te done under the immediate super- vision of the engineers of the city. Turnock Answers Burns. - Alderman Burns spoke for nearly a kalf hoar and, in dosing his remarks, warned the members against any; tasty action, adding that if they did j anything that wa» net satisfactory to! aQ that they would hear It through t»«*r various constituents. This! teased Alderman Turnock. to make a | •ttagJag retort in which he stated [ last every alderman in the council j "tea he leave* it will have as clean a record as the newly-elected man *""» the Third. When the roll call was completed it •sowed only Alderman Burns and Witt j •â- Posing it. All the North Shore Set for Opening of famous Park on Saturday, June 28. a Ravinia Park's second season under the direction of the Ravinia company will begin Saturday* June 28, with the Chicago Symphony orchestra, with Mr. Stock directing and all the soloists in their seats. Mr. Stock will remain for four weeks, during which time the usual afternoon and evening concerts will be given at which spe- cially engaged soloists will appear. The popularity of classic dancing with the audiences last year has caused the management to seek. contracts with some of the most noted dancers of the world and an announcement will be made shortly of the engagement of one and perhaps two of these artists. Grand Opera Prospects Bright. When Mr. Stock leaves the conduc- tor's baton will be assumed by Signer Attillio Parelli, an associate leader with Campanini during the Chicago opera season, who will direct the per- formances of grand opera which will be presented for the remaining six weeks of the park's season. Signor Parelli will have the assistance of the members of the Chicago orchestra and singers from both the Metropolitan and Chicago Grand Opera companies. Included in the latter group will be Jennie De Fan, soprano of the Chi- cago company, Lois Swell, soprano, who after her wonderful success here two seasons ago will need no lntro- luctlon to park patrons; Louis Kreid- ler, baritone, who has bees a favorite here for the past two seasons and who lately scored a hit with the Met- ropolitan company, has been re-en- gaged; Florence Mulford of the Met- ropolitan forces will be the contralto while the tenor parts will be sung by Samaloff, who has been the star of the Aborn forces for a number of years, and a singer yet to be engaged. Others now engaged are Wm. Schus- ter, bass, and Phillip Seta, baritone. Plane for Casta* Change. Mr. Edward Welsh, who, up to the time the present company purchased the park, managed the Casino, has re- turned in that capacity; an assurance that the mistakes of the past two years will be rectified and that department of the park become once, more an at- traction and source of income. Im- provements are already being made in the building and equipment.

RESIDES IN CAKE FOREST Expects to Lower the Record for the 28 Mllet by Traveling Over the Lake the Entire Dis- tance. Speeding automobiles have proved too tedious for Harold F. HcCormick, son-in-law of John D. Rockefeller, to travel in from his Lake Forest home to his Chicago office. So this athletic young multi-millionaire is going to try another method of travelâ€"the air- ship. At his beautiful home, erected on the Sheridan drive just to the north of Uncle Sam's Fort Sheridan reser- vation last summer, at a cost of close to a half million dollars, this society lion has built a hangar, which pro- trudes from the second floor of his garage. Is an Expert. Here he win keep a number of fly ing machines and each morning he will start for his office in one. He believes his trips will be successful. Not knowing the meaning of the word "fear," he Is willing to take chances. He is an expert in handling these machines, having been for the last few years a close student of the sport He has at various times as- cended to high altitudes and no avi- ator, has thus far been able either to scare or "stump" him. *" His machines now are under course of construction and will be completed within six weeks, when his first trip to the "loop" will be attempted. Mr. McCormick expects to "park" his ma- chine in a hangar which he will have •constructed Bdjoiategr ctiie Chicago Boat club. Fly Over Lake. The Lake Forest millionaire In- tends to make the trip above, the lake. As there are no speed laws there to â- top him, it is expected he will es- tablish a new record for covering the 28 miles between Lake Forest and Chicago. Mr. McCormick is not the only one who believes that the air route is practical. William B. Stout, editor of the Aerial Age, stated Saturday that within two years the harbor in Grant park will be full of hydro- aeroplanes or flying boats. "Five fly- ing beats will be in use in Chicago this summer," claims Mr. Stout. "Be- sides the McCormick machines, four other Chicagoans will indulge In the sport. I "Within five years we will see a high class passenger service of dirigi- ble balloons between Chicago and New York. These airships win be at least 1,000 feet long and will carry 300 pas- sengers at a rate of" speed of sixty miles per hour. Will Be Safer. "It win be safer, swifter and cheap- er than railways. Cheaper for the simple reason that there win be no expensive roadbeds to maintain "Within two years I expect that the Lord Korthcliff prize of $150,000 for crossing the Atlantic in a flying ma- chine wfU be won. In fact, it is pos- sible that; the trip may he made suc- cessfully this summer. Within five years I think we may look for trans- Atlantie airship service in dirigible balloons.*' A. F.

Old King Golf, after an ontlre win- ter's absence, returned to tills vicinity Saturday and estabUshed himself upon the various courses along the lake shore. His presence created untold rejoicing among hie followers, who have found it hard to while away the cold months of winter. In fact, not a few became so lonesome that they endeavored to find him in the south- land and In California. Naturally there was a great outpour- ing of the populace Saturday at the various courses to pay their respect to this king of all summer sports.

Saw Signs of Arrival; Signs of his arrival have been wit- nessed for several weeks. In fact, the first few days of warm weather indi- cated his early arrival. Strange to say. his presence along the north shore was, first discovered by the brakemen on the Northwestern mil- road. With the first warm days these brakemen saw great numbers of both staid old business men and young law- vers, physicians and young college chappies board the various trains and. with bag and clubs in hand, proceed northward to catch a glimpse of the old summer haunts of the king. That the surroundings which met their view were encouraging was made clear by the fact that their, number gradually increased day by day. Official Opening Saturday. Saturday was the dsy for his official arrival and the courses were populated thickly from noon nhfO night At the Onwentsla club more than 100. were present to take part in the "com- mencement." though no scheduled matches were played on the course.
