Fisher, who head of the McHenry school system some twenty years ago, and who will be favorably remembered by many here, has just been re-engaged as head of the Peoria school system for another two year term. The Peoria Journal of last Thursday's issue paid a high compliment to our friend and former dtisen in the following editorial: "The re-election of Superintendent Fisher to serve for a period of two years was accomplished without a dissenting vote by any memher of the board of school inspectors and probably was the most popular action of the board during the present year Superintendent Fisher has been accorded unsolicited support from scores I of parent-teachers' and home and school associations--some of thi# gup. port being voted by these organisations in suburban schools. "The popularity of the superintendent is bailed upon his ability as an educator and his energy as a social and community leader. In the year he has been irt eharge of the Peoria schools he has inaugurated a number of improvements and impressed hi.* personality upon scores of organizations before whose membership he has spoken. He is a popular and entertaining speaker and convinces his hearers of both sincerity of purpose and facility of action--a rare combination in an educator. "The wisdom of the board in retaining Superintendent Fisher, in the light of the , popular impression which he has made, is obvious. There are other reasons, however, why the action was wise. One year is scarcely sufficient for a superintendent of schools to accomplish the work of reorganization which always is inevitable when a new official assumes charge. Another two years will enable him to complete the program of reorganization he "began when he came. "We congratulate the superintendent upon his record and commend the board for its good judgment."

Safa #ater Supplies and Bathing Places Along Upper Fox River and Lakes Dear Sir: At the request of and in co-opera tion with the Fox River A Lakes Improvement association, a sanitary survey of the upper Fox river and connecting lakes was made during August and September, 1922, by sanitary engineers of this department with the object of bringing about the elimina tion of existing pollution of the river and lakes waters and the prevention of additional pollution in order that the river and lakes will be safe for bathing purposes. During the sur vey, information was obtained also relative to the sources of water supplies in order that advice might be given to the property owners as to the probable safety of their drinking water supplies. It is the intention to notify each property owner of the conditions on his property and if you do not receive a letter by "March 1 please write us, because in our attempt to inspect and write letters relative to all property on Fox river and connecting lakes above the McHenry dam, we may have accidentally overlooked a property. For your guidance in connection with water-supply and sewage-disposal installations and garbage disposal, we would make the following regulations: annot be located a**HMSt 60 from your well or your fMrtghbor's it shall be constructed with a concrete water tight vault or a water tight removable receptacle. The waste material In such vault or receptacle shall be removed at frequent intervals to prevent overflowing, and buried at a suitable point. If the privy can be located a sufficient distance from a well it may have an ordinary dug vault lined with plank or other material. All privies, and especially the vaults of prives, shall be fiy tight or otherwise nies, after feeding and crawling on the waste material, may enter homes and contaminate food. Privies of any type shall be so constructed and maintained that there will be no danger of waste material being washed over the surface of the ground to the river or lakes or near wells. Occasional use of unslaked or freshly slaked Jime will help prevent and diminish odors. 3. If running water installations have been made, the liquid wastes can be disposed of by discharge into a leaching cesspool and if the volume of sewage is great, a septic tank preceding the leaching cesspool ifiay he used to advantage. Cesspools are to be preferred to privies as a means of disposing of human wastes. For kitchen sink drainage only a comparatively small leaching rasspool should prove satisfactory. Sink drainage, as well as other liquid wastes, shall not be discharged onto the surface of the ground. No cesapooIr septic tank, kitchan sink waste drain pit or subdrain from a tank or cesspool shall be located nearer than 25 feet from the edge of of the river or lake and 50 feet from any well, and if ground area will permit, greater distances are to be desired, especially for cesspools. For hotels, boarding houses, etc., where the volume of sewage may be large, greater distances shall prevail. No sewer, sink drain, overflow pipe" or connection from any cesspool or septic tank to the river or lake shall be installed or continued in use. A cesspool may be built of brick laid without cement or mortar, or of stone, and should be probably at least 4 feet in diameter. The depth will depend upon the ground water level. If only sink drainage is to be cared for, a small cesspool or drain pit made with a box, keg, barrel or pile of rocks would be satisfactory. In porous soil a single cesspool will probably take care of the sewage and waste drainage from the average cottage containing a few people. If the sewage flow is very great, or if the soil is less porous than the average prevailing in the upper Fox river valley, then a second cesspool may be necessary. The first cesspool will ret tain a considerable portion of th$ suspended solids and take care of some of the liquid material and the effluent from it will be somewhat clarified and will more readily seep away in the second cesspool without causing clogging. The outlet from the first cesspool should have a one-quar- " W-VW M lakss/of ft will cadse a nuisance, or breed flies, and shall be either burned, buried or hauled away to some suitable disposal place. The Fox river valley is one of the prettiest river valleys in Illinois, and it is being* used more and mqre every year for recreational purrxw* Because of the discharge of sewage into the fakes and upper Fox river from summer cottages and hotels, the river and lake waters are not considered at the present time as safe for bathing purposes. Your co-operation in eliminating the objectionable pollution and preventing new pollution is, therefore, desired. If after reading this letter and the letter commenting specifically on your property, which will be mailed to you later, you have any questions to ask, or if we can be of any assistance to you in connection with your water supply and sewage disposal problems, we should be glad to have you write us.

Wells should preferably be of the driven type and should be located at least 50 feet from any source of contamination such as a privy or cesspool and preferably should be a greater distance if size of lota, etc., will permit. If a dug instead ^of a driven well is used, the walls should be made water tight for a distance of at least 10 feet below the surface of the ground, and the well should be covered with a water tight concrete top so sloped that water will drain away from the top of the well. Even in the case of a driven well, a concrete slab top under the pump is to be desired and a drain pipe to conduct the waste water from the well is a good feature. Generally the flow of underground waters in sand, gravel and clay deposits, such as exists in the Fox river valley, is toward and down stream valleys as such underground waters eventually reach the surface bodies of water. It is, therefore, generally better to locate wells on the opposite ride of privies and cesspools from a river or lake, rather than to have the wells between the privies and cesspools and a river or lake. -£.

Where the volume of StiWage is very great, such as from boarding houses and hotels, and frequent cleaning of a cesspool might be required, a septic tank, which is virtually a water tight cesspool, might be installed. The effluent from such tank, which will contain about one-third of the undissolved matter in the raw sewage, can be discharged into one or more leaching cesspools or a system of subsurface tiles. Contrary to a not uncommon belief, a septic tank does not thoroly purify sewage, but only removes about one-fourth to onethird of the organic matter and the effluent is putrescible and will pollute waters. • . » 4.

Landscape architects are drawing plans for the new village. The winding roads are being laid out so that not one of the magnificent oaks, some of them 200 years old, will have to be disturbed. Every buyer of one of the two acre lots, into which the 300 acre farm is to be plated, will be asked to sign an agreement to build his house, garage and gardener's cottage on a part of his property that will make it fit best into the general landscape plan. It is estimated that no houses costing less than $100,000 will be built. At least fifty of the 150 homes to be built will cost approximately $150,000 each. Some possibly more. Mr. and Mrs. Durand have reserved a nineteen acre tract on the lake shore, where they intend erecting a palatial home on a fifty foot bluff to supplant their present Crab Tree iana buHdiaga. . be kept unless they are ten inches long.

There is no closed season on buffalo, bull head, cat, carp, catfish and white perch, but it is unlawful to keep buffalo less than 15 inches long, bull head less than 8 inches long undressed, carp less than 13 inches long. Pickerel must be 16 inches long, wall eye pike must be 13 inches long. It is unlawful to take minnows for any other purpose except for bait. Frogs, clams and turtles are protected under the new law. Frogs are protected from the first of April to the first of July. Mussels or clams must be two inches or more in length. Turtles must have a shell 10 inches In length. There are strict rules as to manner of taking clams. The law on sale of fish, etc., and the use of seines and nets is strict and carries a heavy penalty.
