Swift** Plan for Development of Fox River and Cov* neeting Lake" Waters In the 53rd session of the General Assenibfyy that of 1923, Senator Rodney B. Swift aided by speaking in favor of and voting for a bill to have the State take over property on both sides of Fpx River just below the city of McHenry, with a dam across the river and to make an appropriation of seven thousand five hundred dollars to repair said dam and pay an attendant, with the provision in the law,viz.: "to maintain said dam at a suitable height to properly provide a sufficient depth of water north of said dam in the Fox River and the lakes adjacent thereto and connected therewith to enable said waters to be navigated." The law also further says the Department of Public Works shall "make such recom- ' mendations to the General Assembly for the further improvement of said property as in its opinion the public welfare demands." Hie 55th General Assembly appropriated $70,000 for \ a survey of the state lands and meandering waters and jits appropriations contained three items of interest to I the people of the Fox River and connecting lake region in the Eighth Senatorial District of Illinois, viz.: ST. CHARLESTONS : B. B. TOURNAMENT Carter Tib* Easy Gaate Fran McHenry Which Eliminated Local Five The district basketball tournament started Thursday afternoon at the high school gymnasium at Dundee, when Hampshire lost a close game to Hebron, 34 to SO. The Hebron boys played stellar basketball to trim the fast Hampshire team. The McHenry high school team met the Plato Center team at 8 o'clock Thursday Night, but McHenry didn't show any of its real form and Plato Center had little trouble in winning the game by a 20 to 9 victory. Plato Center proved to be quite adept at the free throw line, making half of their twenty points by this method, and consequently nabbed an easy victory from McHenry. The boys played in the following line up: PLATO CENTER (20) B? F...P. Crawford, f [Landers, f ; Fitchie, c H.

Oakes, the St Charles A4a, was the tallest man in competition, standing six feat four inches and second in the scoring, with a 45 point total. The all tournament teams were announced Saturday night and are comprised of players from Plato Center, Harvard, St. Charles, Elgin, Hebron, Crystal Lake, Harvard and Woodstock. The two officials, Fred Miller of Chicago, and R. B. Law of Savanna, proved very popular with the people in general and with all the teams in particular. Miller handled the state tournament at Indianapolis and R. B. Law is a graduate of the University of Illinois. The agitation over the dribble in basketball has, stirred up a vast amount of discussion and many heated debates. An effort to learn the viewpoint of the coaches whose teams were entered In the basketball tournament at Dundee last week resulted in all but two cf the coaches being in favor of keeping the dribble rule as it is. This tournament concludes the high school basketball season and atudants will soon turn their attention to the third quarter examinations. 833 Team average, 823. C. Freund 181 R. Thompson 186 H.

"One hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars for construction of a dam and lock in Fox River at or near where said river flows from Nippersink Lake." • ' - Tlie law of 1923 provides that the Department of Public Works "shall make recommendations to the General Assembly" for the further improvement of this lake region. No such recommendations were made, no ap^ propriations were recommended for the purchase of property, no engineering reports were received. The first the General Assembly knew of these three items, amounting to $200,000, was but a few days before final adjournment, when the "Omnibus Bill," of sixty pages of appropriations, was dumped before it. Some of these items were slipped into the bill without being known to more than twenty members of the two hundred and four members of the General Assembly. Senator Swift hurriedly drafted more than one hundred amendments to this bill and pointed out how crude and poorly considered many of the items were, but he met with poor success. "The laws of the State and United States are taking new views of the rights of the meandering property owners in flowing water and the conservation of property and life on the lower Mississippi by impounding the flood .waters infgreat reservoirs is Under study and the General Assesbly should at once when it convenes again create a specific commission to study and hear evidence of interested parties, obtaiut engineers' reports, consult with the U S. and state, county and city authorities and then ask foi legislation thai will make of this region the great outing and beauty spot of iUjeejg. 8hduld benator Swift be re-nominated lie will immediately ask for the creation of sucb a commission. The impoiiance of a great iStato park sucb as the river, lake and rolling wooded region would make and its neoessity for the millions of people within two hours' ride of its location is so apparent that a comprehensive plan covering 'the entire region must be worked out to insure that the improvements all harmonize and fit into a scheme *01 thy of permanence. The rights of persons, communities and cities, farm owners and cottage inhabitants could all be reported on by such a commission and laws enacted and appropriations made that would be fair to all. |. . Large delegations of rooters were I present from towns whose teams played in the tournament and the attendance was estimated at 1,500, a [capacity house. St. Charles played Crystal Lake on I Thursday evening and finished their hopes of winning the tournament by defeating them 37 to 23. Elgin also defeated West Chicago 41 to 16. [Huntley defeated Richmond 22 to 20 in a hard fought and exceedingly j rough game Friday morning. Harvard won over J;he Dundee team with a score of 26 to 19. Elgin's hopes for a basketball championship were relegated to the discard Friday night | when St. Charles defeated them 31 to 124. Capron nosed out Burlington in a furious battle 24 to 21. The Barrington- Woodstock game was .a thriller throughout with Barrington finally winning out 17 tol6 and thus ended Woodstock's hopes for a chance at the I finals. Plato Center worn • a veil earned victory over T?eT>ron with a score of 36 to 32, and Huntley encountered rery little trouble in overcoming the Capron team 26 to IS.
