Property owners are being charged $10 per lot per year, regardless of improvements and $10 for un- subdivided acreage. Beard agreed with them. "It's not an equitable program," he said, "but if you want to be so critical of the $10 dues structure, bring to me a viable, fair alternative. Anyone can sit bade and criticise." Regardless'of the problems, dam repairs are on schedule and should be finished within the next two weeks, Beard said. The coffer dams and sluice gates have been installed, as has one turning fixture. The east gate is completely finished. The contractors, Illinois Hydraulic Construction Co., are waiting for concrete on the west side to set.
