This is neither true nor fair to residents, of whom I am one, who, in good faith, have filed objections to the proceeding. It was not generally known, and I doubt whether many residents of the District are yet aware of the fact that the "90 per cent plan" was and is pro- vided for in the ordinance adopted by the Park District and which is the very foundation of the present pro- ceeding. When the Commissioners returned an assessment roll which did not conform to the 90 per cent pro- vision of the Park District's ordinance, and the same was called to its atten- tion, the Court had no alternative but to order the roll modified. This was hot ordered because of any desire on the part of the objectors, but because "the law requires the Commissioners (of whom a member of the Park Dis- trict was one) to follow the Park's ordinance. Calling the Court's atten- tion to the 90 per cent plan in the Park's ordinance and the discrepancy in the roll, could hardly make an ob- jector of the author, or responsible for such plan. It is difficult to understand why the fact of and the necessity for this pro- vision was not explained to the people of the District in the first instance, unless it was that great opposition to the project could have been anticipa- ted'had the property owners been ad- vised that nearly all of their assess- ment would be payable under the law in one lump sum. The laws of Illinois provide such method of payment and this was known to and followed by the Park Board. Now that such re- quirement has come to the public's attention, it is hardly fair to attribute same to the objectors. When the Park District conformed to the law in this respect in drafting its ordinance, we must assume that it wanted the Commissioners to obey the ordinance. It cannot be possible that the District intended to put through the improvement on a basis othér than that provided in its ordinance, or that it intended to ask the Court to "Wink at a plain disregard of the ordinance and statute by the Commissioners.
