An election to be fair i and an expression of the Ireal sentiment i Eof a voter should be by secret ballot. and i I it is the right of every voter, man or wo- 1. man, to demand such a privilege. On iSaturday,‘ all the interested parties who ’ had been actively werking for weeks for ' the east side proposition were out in force and it was made a personal issue l between fri s and neighbors if one did ilnot vote the; three ballots handed out to ‘ them upon entering or if they even ven tured to exti'ess contrary opinions. there " fore very feir had the courage to protest when it was )nade such a personal as I well as pubtlé matter. Even when the E ballots were folded and ready to deposit they were openedrby the clerk and ex- . . amined before being placed in the ballot , box It was the same at the recent high- , school electionâ€"the voter was met on ithe sidewalk-given the right 0) ballot and upon entering was escorted to the ballot box and watched until that special ballot was thposited. An open ballot is legal in school elections. but personally the voter -will never again vote in a school election and a number of other: have expressed 1 like determination. lt If the proposition to appoint a sanitary district commission is to win next Tues - day all the voters south of North Chicago} must cast a vote for it for the big factory a owners in Waukegan again oppose it. » 1 3 These are the places which do most to- V ; tward polluting the lake water and it :i ‘would cost them considerable to tuml I their private sewers away from the lake.) ‘Through the Waukegan Gazette and >their employees they are urging the de- . feat of the questIon.

Besides, the population along :lthe Lake Shore in Lake County is in- creasing so rapidly that they alone will lcontaminatethe lake so as to make it gdangerous for even the Cook County ‘ towns. The members of the local committee request the publishing of the lollowing: By David H. Jackson The population of the territory north of Chicago, at lent'as far north as Wau- kegnn. is growing very rapidly. Most of the people reside and the municipalities are located on the narrow watmhed which drains into Luke Michigan. ' E It may not be commonly known. but It, is a fact that the population reSIding in i Ein the proposed North Shore SanitaryE E District was in 1890 approximately 9000; Ein 1900 approximately 16,000; and 30.000, All of the inhnbitanta of this territory draw their water supply from the lake, and all are therefore interested in the protection of this water supplv. Survey: W madevhith {demon-trite be yond the shadow of a doubt that the water supply of every municipality on the North Shore is frequently dangerous and very seldom safe, and it seems clear that unless steps are taken at an early date to change the present methods of sewage disposal. conditions in a few years will be deplorable. in 1910, and by 1920, probably will be 50,000. It hardly seems necessary to? present any arguments to show that? some radical Itepe must be taken (0‘ l abolish the present practices in regard to ; ‘sewage disposal. The question then {arises as to how this should be done. *1 i Some of the towns have already installed :septic tanks but they have proved un- 1 ‘satisfactory in some instances. and con : spicuously so in Lake Forest. It is pro. 5 ;bany true that almost none 01 thesel tanks, atall times, take care of all the‘ 1sewage from the districts they are sup- iposed to serve. It may be that septic ‘tanks. if large enough and if properly goperated, will take care of the sewage of the district, but they are not doing it to- gday - l Now the result is, that some towns are spending their money to help condi- tions. while other towns, because their finances will not permit. are not doing anything, and there is no way at present to force them 00 do it. In other words, no city, acting alone, can solve the prob- lem; there must be cooperation of all the towns. There is no need in half the towns spending their money when the other half refuse. or are unable, to do anything. It seems that the wise thing to do is to cooperate in what seems to be the only effective way, namely: by joining together legally inra Sanitary Diun'ct.
