Section 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly, That the governor of this state
is hereby authorized and instructed to appoint a competent veterin-
ary surgeon, who shall be known as State Veterinarian or Inspector,
and whose duty it shall be to investigate any and all cases of con-
tagious or infectious disease among domestic animals of the bovine
species in this state, which may be brought to his notice by a com-
petent veterinary surgeon or practicing physician in the locality
where such infectious or contagious disease may exist, and it shall
be his duty to make visits of inspection to any locality where he
may have reason to suspect that contagious or infectious disease
may exist.

§ 2. In all cases of pleuro-pneumonia among cattle in this state,
the state veterinarian shall have authority to order the quarantine of
infected premises ; and in case such disease shall become epidemic in
any locality in this state, the state veterinarian shall immediately notify
the governor of the state, who shall thereupon issue his proclama-
tion forbidding any animals of the kind among which said epidemic
exists from being transported from said locality, without a certifi-
cate from the state veterinarian showing such animals to be healthy.
In case of epidemic, as aforesaid, the state veterinarian shall order
the quarantine of infected premises, and shall order the slaughter
of diseased animals thereon, and in cases of pleuro-pneumonia among
cattle, he shall, as hereinafter provided, order the slaughter of all
cattle upon the premises which may have been exposed to conta-
gion, but before doing so he shall call in consultation with him two
(2) reputable veterinarians or practicing physicians residing within
ten (10) miles of the infected premises, and shall not order the
slaughter of any animals not actually diseased without a written
order signed by one (1) or both of said veterinarians or practicing

discharge of their duty, shall be sworn to make a true and faithful
.^appraisement, without prejudice or favor. They shall, after making

entering the same upon his record, and making an endorsement
thereon, showing the same to have been properly recorded, return
it, together with the order of the state veterinarian, to the per-
son or persons owning live stock ordered slaughtered.

§ 4. Whenever the governor of the state shall have good reason
to believe that such disease has become epidemic in certain locali-
ties in other states, or that there are conditions which render such
domestic animals liable to convey disease, he shall thereupon, by
proclamation, schedule such localities, and prohibit the importation
of any live stock of the kind diseased into this state, unless accom-
panied by a certificate of health, properly signed by a duly author-
ized veterinary inspector. Any corporation or individual who shall
transport, receive or convey such prohibited stock, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined

tation of such prohibited stock.

case of pleuro-pneumonia among cattle, and shall fail to immedi-
ately report the same to the state veterinarian, or if any person or
persons shall willfully and maliciously obstruct or resist the state
veterinarian in the discharge of his duty, as hereinbefore set forth,
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction
of either charge shall be fined not less than fifty (50) nor more
than five hundred dollars ($500) for each and every such offense,
and upon conviction a second time shall, in addition to the above
named fine, be liable to not less than thirty (30) days, nor more
than six (6) months imprisonment.

governor of all matters connected with his work, and the governor

report as may be of general interest to breeders of live stock, to be
published with the proceedings of the State Board of Agriculture.

§ 7. All claims against the state arising from the slaughter of
animals, as herein provided for, shall, together with the order of
the state veterinarian and the award of the appraisers in each case,
be submitted to the governor, and he shall, after having examined
each case, if satisfied of the justness of the same, endorse thereon

on the state treasurer for the same so ordered paid by the governor.

services the sum of eight dollars ($8) per day for every day actually

least five (5) of the most public places in said proposed district in
which said work is to be done, and also by publishing a copy thereof
at least once a week, for three successive weeks, in some newspaper
or newspapers published in each county from which any part of
said district is proposed to be formed. Such notice shall state when
and in what court said petition was and is filed ; the starting point,
route, termini, and general description of the proposed route ; the
boundaries and name of the proposed drainage district, and at what
term of the said court the petitioners will ask a hearing of such
petition. If any of the land owners of said district are non-residents

petition shall be accompanied by an affidavit, giving the names and
places of residence of such non-residents, if known, and if unknown,
stating that, upon diligent inquiry, their places of residence cannot

said to each of said non-residents whose residence is known, within
three (;-3) days after the first publication of the same. The certifi-
cate of the clerk, or the af&davit of any other credible person, affixed
to a copy of said notice, shall be sufficient evidence of the posting,

sity or utility of the proposed work, or any part thereof, and the
contestants and petitioners may offer any competent evidence in
regard thereto. It shall be the duty of the court to hear and deter-
mine whether or not the said petition contains the signatures of a

the lands proposed to be affected by such work, may be taken by
the court as lyrima facie evidence of the facts therein stated ; or the
oath or affirmation before said court, or the affidavit of any per-
son, properly taken and certified by any person or court author-
ized to take acknowledgments of deed to real estate in this state,
giving the age of such party, and his or her ownership of lands, to
be named in such oath, affirmation or affidavit, by proper descrip-
tion, shall be sufficient evidence to the court of such facts : Pro-
vided, that all deeds made for the purpose of establishing or defeat-
ing -the prayer of said petition, not made in good faith and for a
valuable consideration, shall be taken and held to be in fraud of
the provisions of this act, and the holders thereof shall not be con-
sidered as owners thereof. If the court, after hearing any and all
competent evidence that may be offered before it, for and against
the said petition, shall find that the same has not been signed by
a majority of the land owners, as hereinbefore required, the said
petition shall be dismissed at the cost of the petitioners ; but if the
court shall find that the petition has been signed by land owners
constituting such majorities, the court shall so find, and such find-
ing shall be conclusive upon the land owners of such district that
they have assented to and accepted the provisions of this act ; and
if it shall further appear to the court that the proposed drain or
drains, ditch or ditches, levee or other works, is or are necessary,
or will be useful for the drainage of the lands proposed to be drained
thereby, for agricultural, sanitary, or mining purposes, the court
shall so find, and appoint three (3) competent persons as commis-
sioners to lay out and construct such proposed work. In case the
lands to be drained or leveed shall be situated in different counties,
not more tha,n two (2) of the commissioners shall be chosen from
any one of such counties. If the court shall find against the peti-
tioners, the petition shall be dismissed at the cost of the peti-
tioners."

commencetnent, route or termini of the drains or ditches, or the
number, extent or size of the same, or the location, plan or extent
of any levee, ditch or other work to that proposed by the petition-
ers, but shall locate, design, lay out, plan the same, in such man-
ner as they shall think will drain or protect the petitioners' lands
with the least damage and greatest benefit to all lands to be af-
fected thereby ; and any plans proposed by the commissioners may,
on the application of any person interested, or of the commission-
ers, be altered by order of the court, in such manner as shall ap-
pear to the court to be just. If the commissioners find that the
proposed district, as described in the petition filed, will not embrace

or exclude all such lands, as the case may be, and the boundaries
adopted and reported by said commissioners may at any time be-
fore the court declares the district established, upon the application
of the commissioners, or of any person interested, be altered by the
court, in such manner as shall appear to the court to be just. And
the court may change the name of a district, or jDroposed district,
•at the same time and in the same order establishing a drainage
district the boundaries of which shall have been changed as afore-
said : Provided, the alteration of boundaries as aforesaid shall not
have the effect of so far enlarging or contracting the proposed district

land owners of the lands therein situated, nor represent less than
one-third of its area."

this act is an amendment, be and the same is hereby so amended
as to read as follows :

'■ Section 37. Said commissioners may use money arising from
the collection of assessments, or coming into their hands as such
commissioners, for the purpose of compromising suits and contro-
versies arising under this act, and in the employment of all neces-
sary agents and attorneys in the prosecution or defense of said
operations, and for the purpose of constructing or repairing, or aid-
ing in the construction or reparation of any work, whether inside
or outside of the district, necessary to the protection of the lands
within such district : Provided, that the commissioners shall use
such money under the direction and approval of the court ; and an
additional or second assessment may be levied on the lands within
any district, whenever it shall become necessary, for the construc-
tion of any additional work or the completion of any work already
commenced, to insure the protection of the lands in said district,
under the order and direction of the county court, or justice of the
peace if the original proceedings shall be before a justice of the
peace, on the petition of a majority of the owners of lands within
said district who are of lawful age and represent at least one-third
in area of such lands, or on the petition of the commissioners, and
with like notice and proceedings, as near as may be, as in cases of
original assessments of damages and benefits under the act to which
this is an amendment, and such additional assessments, when made,

which this is an amendment, and may secure the same by notes
or bonds, bearing interest at the rate of not exceeding six per cent.

per annum, and not running beyond one year after the last assess-
ment on account of which the money is borrowed shall fall due,
which notes or bonds shall not be held to make the commissioners
personally liable for money borrowed, but shall constitute a lion
upon the assessment for the repayjnent of the principal and interest
thereof, and the county court may, on the petition of the commis-
sioners, authorize them to refund any lawful indebtedness of the
district authorized by and created under this act, or the act to
which this is an amendment, by taking up and canceling all out-
standing notes and bonds of such district, issued under this act or
the act to which this act is an amendment, as fast as they become
due, or before they shall become due, if the holders thereof will
surrender the same, and to issue, in lieu thereof, new notes or bonds
of such district, payable on such longer time as the commissioners
shall think proper, not to exceed in the aggregate the amount of all
notes and bonds of such district then outstanding, and the unpaid
accrued interest thereon ; and the court shall have power, on the
petition of the commissioners, to order that the collection of any
one or more or all of the installments of the assessments for benefits
on account of which the money was borrowed, be postponed to such
time as the court may consider proper and reasonable, when the
same shall become due and payable ; and such installment or install^
ments, so postponed, shall bear interest, until they shall become due,
at the rat^of eight (8) per cent, per annum, unless otherwise ordered
by the court, but after they become due, they shall bear interest at
the rate of eight per cent, per annum, as provided in the act to
which this act is an amendment : Provided, that such bonds and
notes shall be made due and payable within one year after the last

the same is hereby further amended by adding to the said act, to
which this act is an amendment, another section, to be numbered

"Section 43^. At any time before the contract shall have been
made for the construction of any drain, ditch, levee or other work
provided for in the report of the commissioners, or the order of the
court made in pursuance thereof, which is sought to be abandoned
as hereinafter provided, upon petition of the majority of the adult
land owners of the district representing one-third of its area, the
county court may, if upon due inquiry it shall be satisfied that
justice towards all the land owners of said district require it, direct
the commissioners to abandon any drain, ditch, levee or other
work, or any part thereof, mentioned in such report or order.
Upon the filing of any such petition, it shall be set down for
hearing by the court, and notice of the filing of such petition,
and of the nature of the relief sought by the petitioners, shall
be given for the length of time and in the manner (so far as ap-
plicable to the nature of the proceeding) required by section three
(3) of the act to which this is an amendment. The court may,
for good cause, after proof of notice as aforesaid, continue' the

DEAINAGE. 85

hearing of such application from time to time, and any person or
persons interested may appear and resist such appHcation ; and
the court, after full hearing of all material facts pertaining thereto,
may make such order in the premises as shall appear to the
court to be just. If the court shall determine that any portion
of the proposed work shall be abandoned, it shall ascertain to what
extent the cost of said proposed works will be diminished thereby,
and if the assessments for benefits shall have been made, such por-
tion of said assessments shall be abated in such uniform proportion
as such change of plans shall render unnecessary for the completion of
such works according to such modified or altered plans ; and if any
lands shall have been assessed by the commissioners which, on ac-
count of such change of plans, will be wholly deprived of the benefits
contemplated in the original plans, the court shall order that the
entire assessments against such lands be abated. If such order shall
be made after the assessment shall have been collected, the court
shall order such proportion of said assessments as may be abated
to be refunded to the persons who may have paid the same, or their
lawful representatives, and for non-compliance with such order the
collector or collectors, and the treasurer of said district, respectively,
and their sureties, shall be liable upon their respective bonds. And
the court may make any other or further order in pursuance of the
objects of this section of this act, as justice to all persons whose in-
terest may be affected by it may require. And at any time before the
contract for the construction of the proposed works shall have been
made, upon presentation to the county court of a petition, signed
by owners, not less than two-thirds in number, and owning more
than one-half in area of lands assessed for benefits in the district
to which the petitioners belong, whose aggregate assessments amount
to not less than one-half the cost of the proposed works, and aU
debts and expenses incurred up to the time of filing such petition,
praying that the whole system of proposed works may be abandoned
and the district abolished, the court shall enter upon its records an
order granting the prayer of such petition, upon condition that the
petitioners pay all costs, and the debts and expenses aforesaid,
within ten (10) days from the rendition of such order, the amount
of such costs, debts and expenses to be fixed and determined by
the court, and made a part of said order. If such petitioners fail
to comply with such order, it shall be considered, after the expira-
tion of said ten (10) days, as of no force or effect whatever. If a
district be abolished under this section, assessments collected shall
be refunded to the persons who have paid the same, or their repre-
sentatives. All of the provisions of this act shall apply, so far as
the same can be applied, to all drainage districts heretofore organ-
ized under the jurisdiction of justices of the peace, in pursuance of
the provisions of the act to which this act is an amendment."

§ 9. Whereas, districts heretofore organized are unable fully to
reclaim their lands under the present laws, therefore an emergency
exists, and this act shall take effect and be in force from and after
its passage.

thereof.

§ 2. That in any drainage district organized as aforesaid, wherein
the jury have assessed the full amount of benefits against each
tract of land of such district found by them to be liable to assess-
ment for benefits, instead of assessing against each tract its propor-

the proceeding, as provided in section eighteen (18) of said act, so
much of such assessment as exceeds the estimated cost of the work
and expenses of the proceeding is hereby remitted, and the said
assessment is hereby legalized as to the proportion thereof not re-
mitted as aforesaid, and to that extent shall be deemed and held
to be a valid assessment to all intents and purposes, and each tract
of land subject thereto to the extent of its proportion thereof:

pending, the persons prosecuting the same shall not be precluded
from procuring such reduction of the amount assessed against him
or her, as they might have procured if such assessment had been
made upon a correct basis.

"Section 3. The following proceedings shall be taken for the pur-
pose of organizing a drainage district : A petition shall be presented
to the town clerk, signed by a majority in number of the adult own-
ers of lands lying in said proposed district, and they shall be the
owners in the aggregate of more than toe-third of the lands lying
in said district, setting forth the boundaries of said district, giving
the numbers of sections or fractional parts thereof. Said petition
shall state that the lands lying within the boundaries of said pro-
posed district require a combined system of drainage or protection
from wash or overflow ; that the petitioners desire that a drainage
district may be organized, embracing the lands therein mentioned,
for the purpose of constructing, repairing or maintaining a drain or

Said petition shall be accompanied by a bond to the drainage commis-
sioners signed by at least two (2) responsible persons, conditioned for the
payment of all costs occasioned by said proceedings in case said
district shall not be organized."

"Section 9. At the time appointed for the adjourned meeting, the
commissioners shall meet and examine the map and report of the
engineer, if any engineer shall have been employed, and said com-
missioners shall have power to change the boundaries of such pro-
posed district from the boundaries given in the petition, so as to
take in land not embraced or exclude lands taken into said pro-
posed district, and shall permit additional signatures to be made
to the petition by any adult person or persons owning land in, or
owning land desired to be taken into such proposed district, to the
end that a majority of the adult owners of land in the district as
finally to be organized, and who shall be the owners in the aggre-
gate of more than one-third (^) of such land, shall have signed the
petition, which facts said commissioners shall find and put such find-
ing in writing, and the same shall be filed and the clerk shall en-
ter the same in his record, which finding shall be conclusive. And
said commissioners may adjourn the meeting provided for in this
section, not less than five (5) days at a time, and not more than fif-
teen (15) days in all, for the purpose of making the necessary ex-
aminations and findings, and the clerk shall give notice of any such
adjournment ; and if, from their own examination, and said map and
report, if any there be, it shall appear that the lands included in
the proposed district will be benefited for agricultural, sanitary or
mining purposes by the construction of a drain, or a combined sys-
tem of drainage, they shall so find, unless they shall find, from the
evidence of witnesses then introduced, that the cost of the proposed
work will exceed the benefits to be derived therefrom. And should
they find in favor of the petitioners, or should a two-thirds (f ) major-
ity of the owners of land owning more than one-half {h) of the lands
lying in said proposed district still desire the formation of said dis-
trict, and such desire shall be evidence by a failure to withdraw
their signatures from the petition, the commissioners shall enter on
their record an order in writing organizing said drainage district,
and such district shall thereupon be declared fully organized. Each
district shall be designated by a number, as drainage district No.

. . . . , in township, county, and state of Illinois. And

when the commissioners shall have organized said district, they
shall cause a map thereof, showing the boundaries thereof, to be
made, and the same shall be filed with the other papers in the case ;
and at any time prior to the making of assessments for benefits,
the commissioners may alter the boundaries of any district
proposed or organized, or hereafter proposed or organized,
in the manner and subject to the conditions provided in
this act and the act to which this is an amendment, and shall
make orders and findings accordingly ; and this section shall apply
to drainage districts organized under this law, of which this act is
an amendment, as far as the same can be made applicable. And
in case it is proposed to change the boundaries of any district after
the same is organized, and before the asessments are made in the
same, it shall be done on the petition of a majority of the number

of the adult owners of the land, and who own m the aggregate more
than one-thh'd (^) thereof in the district as finally changed, and
the signing of any petition referred to in this act shall be taken as
conclusive against the person so signing that they have accepted
the provisions of this act and of the act to which this is an amend-
ment, as to their assessments of benefits and damages thereunder."
"Section 12. Should the commissioners be unable to procure the
right of way by agreement with the owner or owners of any lands over
which the work may be located, they shall file a statement in writ-
ing with some justice of the peace in the vicinity, requesting him
to issue a venire for a jury, to assess the damages in such case or
cases ; and it shall thereupon be the duty of the justice to issue a
venire for a jury of six (6) disinterested freeholders, to appear at
his I office at a day and hour therein named, not less than five (5)
norj more than fifteen (15) days from the filing of such statement
with the justice, for the purpose of assessing the damages in the
caa3 or cases mentioned. The justice shall cause a notice a notices
in u\Titing to be served upon the owner or owners of the lands in
qujjstion, informing him or them of the time and place when the
said case or cases will be tried. Said notices may be substantially
in the following form :

'iTo A. B.: You are hereby notified that a jury has been called to meet at my office, in

..J... township county, on the day of A. D. 18 , at o'clock M., for

thf purpose of assessing damages in tlie matter of the drainage commissioners of

toj^nship, county, against you; -when and where you can appear and assert your

ri^.hts in the premises, if you desire.

I " Said notice shall be served by a constable, not less than three
(|l) days nor more than fifteen (15) days before the time fixed for
tj.ial, in the same manner and with like effect as process in civil
oases, and his return thereon shall show the manner such service
^'.ras made, and for such service he shall be allowed the same fees
k^ for service of process in civil cases : Provided, that where it
Hhall be made to appear that any of such owners are non-resident,
/or unknown, notice of such proceeding shall be given by publication
fin some newspaper published in said county, two (2) successive
weeks prior to the time of such hearing, which notice shall be sub-
stantially in the form given above ; and if any such owner shall be
a minor, such notice shall be served upon him and also upon his
guardian, if he shall have one who is a resident of this county :
Provided, fiurther, that in any case where the commissioners certify
that the damages will probably exceed two hundred dollars ($200),
the proceedings shall be begun in the county court."

"Section 13. When the jury shall appear, as provided in the
foregoing section, the trial shall be conducted as other cases before a
justice of the peace or county court, as the case may be. Either
party may have the same number of challenges, and for the same
causes, as in other cases before justices of the peace or the county
court, as the case may be, and if notice shall not have been given
according to law, or for any other good cause, the court may con-
tinue the case from time to time, till proper notice shall have been
given, or the case is ready for trial. The jury shall hear the evi-
dence offered in the case as to the value of the land proposed to
be taken, and all damages consequent upon the construction of the
proposed work, and may go upon the premises for the purpose of

viewing them ; and they shall return as their verdict the amount of
damages found, if any, in favor of the owner or owners and against
the commissioners, and the justice of the peace or county judge
shall enter judgment for the amount of such verdict, which judg-
ment shall be final and conclusive. Vacancies in the panel of jurors,
from whatever cause, shall be filled the same as vacancies in other
cases, but vacancies shall, in all cases, be filled by freeholders, and
the same jury shall hear and determine all cases for which the
venire was issued, and shall return separate verdicts as to each
owner or joint owners; and the justice or judge shall thereupon file,
in the office of the clerk of the drainage commissioners, a certified
transcript of the proceedings before him in each case."

''Section 16. The commissioners shall cause to be personally
served upon all parties owning land to be affected by the proposed
work, and residing in the county, a written or printed notice of the
time when, and place where, they will meet to hear any and all
objections that may be made to their special assessments for benefits,
which notice shall be served, in case of residents in the county, not
less than three (3) days before the time set for hearing, by deliver-
ing a copy thereof to the party to be served ; and the commission-
ers shall cause to be sent, by mail, such notice to all owners who
do not reside in the county, whose land is to be affected, in case
their postoffice address is known to commissioners, or any of them,
or can be ascertained by use of reasonable diligence ; and in case
the land of any non-resident is to be affected, then publication shall
be made in some newspaper published in said county for three (3)
successive weeks prior to the time of such hearing, and such meet-
ing to hear objections may be adjourned from day to day by public
announcement of the commissioners, made at the meeting, until all
objections are heard; and all persons duly notified of the first day
of meeting, as hereinbefore provided in this section, shall take
cognizance of all such adjournments without further notification."

"Section 33. The commissioners shall have power and are hereby
required to make all necessary bridges and culverts in any public
highway for the protection of ditches made hereunder, which bridges
and culverts, and the cost of such portion of the drain or ditch
lying in such highway, shall be paid for out of the road and bridge
tax. Whenever, in the construction of any drain or ditch, it shall
be necessary that the same shall be constructed across the right of
way of any railroad company, such portion of such drain or ditch
lying on such right of way shall be constructed by such railroad
company. And should any such railroad company refuse or neglect
to construct such drain or ditch for a period of thirty (30) days,
after notice given in writing by the commissioners, then the com-
missioners shall be authorized to construct such drain or ditch
across such right of way, and may collect the necessary cost thereof
by suit against said company, in any court of competent jurisdiction."

"Section 34. During the progress of the work, or at any subse-
quent time, the commissioners, when petitioned to create a sub-
district (within any district organized as aforesaid) for the purpose
of constructing any drain or drains, grade or grades, embankment
or embankments, lateral drain or drains, for the further reclamation

of lands within such sub-district, by special assessment of the pro-
perty benefited thereby, shall be governed by the provisions of this
act and the act to which this is an amendment, which are appli-
cable thereto ; but this section shall not be construed as preventing
the commissioners from causing to be constructed, from time to
time, proper ditches and embankments anywhere in the main dis-
trict, until all the land thereof is properly drained and protected,
"which they may do by special assessments on all the land in the
main district benefited by such improvement, which additional im-
provements they shall always undertake on a petition of a majority
of the adult owners of land in such district, and shall always be
governed by the general provisions of this act and the act to which
this act is an amendment, in respect to damages, right of way, and
assessments for benefits, and in all other respects wherein the same
is applicable. And in case of drainage districts organized or peti-
tioned for, lying adjacent to each other, the commissioners and
authorities of the respective districts shall have power to adjust, by
agreement together, any question of right and justice, with respect
to either district, or any owner of land in either, satisfactory to the
parties concerned, and not inconsistent with this act or the act to
which this act is an amendment."

"Section 35. Nothing in this act shall be construed to forbid or
prevent the drainage of any lands, the drainage of which would re-
quire to be conducted to the same outlet through which the waters
of any ditch constructed under this act shall flow; and the owner
of such lands shall have the right to construct and maintain all
such lateral ditches over and across any land intervening between
such tract to be drained and the main ditch or outlet : But, pro-
vided, further, that any land lying outside of the drainage district
as organized, the owner or owners of which shall thereafter make
connection with the main ditch or drain, or any ditch or drain
within the district as organized, shall be deemed to have made
voluntary application to be included in such drainage district,
and such land shall be included in such drainage district, and
assessed with its fair proportion of the costs of the ditches or drains
or other works, to be determined by said commissioners under the
provisions of this act and the act to which this is an amendment."

"Section 51. Should the court find against the petitioners, it
shall enter an order to that effect, and the petition shall thereupon
be dismissed at the cost of the petitioners. Should the court find
in favor of the petitioners, it shall enter an order to that effect,
and it shall thereupon be the duty of the court to appoint three
drainage commissioners for said district, who shall at once proceed
to the examination, survey and organization of said district in all
matters, as provided in sections eight (8) and nine (9) of the act to
which this is an amendment ; and the clerk shall give notice of the
time when and place where the commissioners will meet to com-
plete the organization of such district, which time shall not be
more than thirty (30) days subsequent to the date of the appoint-
ment of such commissioners. At the meeting for completing the
organization of such district, the proceedings shall in all respects,
so far as the same are applicable and not otherwise provided for
in this act, conform to the requirements of the act to which this is

an amendment, as set forth in the matter of the formation of
districts lying wholly within a township. Upon the filing of the
order of the commissioners declaring such district organized, the
clerk shall enter the same of record, and said district shall there-
upon be deemed fully organized."

"Section 53. So soon as a special drainage district has been
organized, it shall be the duty of the county clerk, who shall be the
clerk of the commissioners thereof, to give notice, by posting written
or printed notices in at least six (6) iDublic places in said district,
that on a day therein named, and at an hour not later than two
(2) o'clock P. M., not less than ten (10) days from the date of
notice, at a place in said notice designated, an election will be held
for the purpose of electing three (3) drainage commissioners for said
district.

"Section 54. In all elections held for the election of drainage
commissioners, the drainage commissioners then in office shall be
the judges of election ; and, in the absence of any of them, the
electors present may choose a person or persons to fill the vacancy
or vacancies. The judges shall choose one of their number to act
as clerk. Every adult owner of land in the district, whether residing
within or without the district, shall be a voter and eligible to the
office of drainage commissioner. The election shall close at four (4)
o'clock P. M., unless the judges of election shall determine that it
is proper to hold the polls open until six (6) o'clock P. M., to accom-
modate the voters. The judges of election shall canvass the votes
at the close of the election, and the three (3) persons, or so many
persons as there are vacancies to be filled, having the highest number
of votes shall be declared elected. In case of a tie, the judges shall
determine by lot who is elected, and they shall also determine by
lot their respective terms of office, one of whom shall serve for one
(1) year, one for two (2) years, and one for three (3) years, or such

as they accrue. If the whole amount of the deposit notes shall be
insufficient to pay the loss occasioned by any fire or fires, in such
case the sufferers insured by the said company shall receive towards
making good their respective losses a proportional share of the whole
amount of said notes, according to the sums by them respectively
insured, but no member shall ever be required to pay, for any loss
occasioned by fire or inland navigation, more than the whole amount

lectors' books to be properly ruled for the several classes of pro-
perty, providing for each class three columns for values — the first

as corrected and equalized by the county board ; and the third to
show the valuation as equalized or assessed by the state board of
equalization. Said books to contain proper columns for the exten-
sion of the several kinds of taxes, and other purposes.

"Section 1'26. Said clerks shall extend the rates of addition or
deduction ordered by the county board and state board of equaliza-
tion, in the several columns provided for that purpose. The rates
per cent, ordered by the state board of equalization shall be ex-
tended on the assessed valuation of property, as corrected and
equalized by the county board — except, that in case of railroad

and equalized valuation of property within their respective jurisdic-
tions. In the extension of taxes, the fraction of a cent shall be-

"Section 132. To each collector's book a warrant, under the
hand and official seal of the county clerk, shall be annexed, com-
manding the collector to collect from the several persons named in

pay over the several kinds of taxes that may be collected by him
to the respective officers entitled thereto, less the compensation for
collection allow^ed him by law."

"Section 163. Whenever any person shall pay the taxes charged

lector's books, in whole or in part of such description, as the case
may be ; and such entry and receipt shall bear the genuine signature
of the collector or his deputy receiving such payment ; and whenever
it shall appear that any receipt for the payment of taxes shall be
lost or destroyed, the entry so made may be read in evidence in

collects the tax thereon, and the postoffice address of the person
paying such tax."

or special assessment upon any real property, it shall be the duty
of the county collector to make out to such person a receipt, in

ing, to be known as section one hundred and twenty-four (124) :

"Section 124. In counties not under township organization, such
book shall be made up by congressional townships ; but parts of
fractional townships, less than full townships, may be added to full
townships, at the discretion of the county board. In counties under
township organization, said books shall be made to correspond with
the organized townships. Separate books may be made for the
collection of all taxes within the corporate limits of cities, towns
and villages. This section shall not be construed to interfere with
the tax book provided for i]i this act, for the use of county col-
lectors, for collecting all taxes charged against railroad property and
the capital stock of telegraph companies."

"Section 11. On the Tuesday next after the first Monday in
November, 1882, and every four (4) years thereafter, there shall be
elected by the qualified voters of every county in this state, a
county superintendent of schools, who shall perform the duties re-
quired by law, and shall enter upon the duties of his office on the
first Monday of December after his election. He shall, before en-
tering upon his duties, take the oath prescribed by the constitution,
and execute a bond payable to the state of Illinois, with two (2) or
more responsible freeholders as security, to be approved by the
county board, or judge and clerk of the county court, in penalty of not
less than $12,000, to be increased at the discretion of said board, con-
ditioned that he will faithfully perform all the duties of his office
accordmg to the laws which are or may be in force, by which bond
the obligors shall be bound jointly and severally, and upon which
an action or actions may be maintained by the board of trustees
of the proper township, for the benefit of any township or fund in-
jured by any breach ; and the county board of each of the counties
of this state shall, in the month of December, A. D. 1881, appoint
a county superintendent of schools, who shall be the successors in
office, respectively, of the county superintendents of schools then in
office, and the term of office of the then officers so appointed shall
be one (1) year and until the election and qualification of their
successors."

"Section 27. The time and manner of opening, conducting and
closing said election, and the several liabilities appertaining to the
judges and clerks, and to the voters separately and collectively, and
the manner of contesting said election, shall be the same as pre-
scribed by the general election laws of this state defining the
manner of electing magistrates and constables, so far as applicable,
subject to the provisions of this act : Provided, that said election
may commence, if so specified in the notice, at any hour between
the hours of eight (8) A. M. and one (1) P. M., and the judges may
close such election at four (4) P. M. : And, provided, furtlter, that
in townships where, for general elections, there is more than one (1)
polling place, the trustees shall give notice that at each of said
polling places a poll will be opened for such election, in which case
at least one (1) of said trustees shall attend at each of said places,
and additional judges shall be chosen as provided in section twenty-
six (26) of the act to which this is an amendment ; should the
polling places be in excess of the number of trustees, then the
voters at such polling places so in excess shall select from their
number the requisite number of voters, who shall act as judges of
said election, in the manner provided by said section twenty-six (26).
And in counties adopting township organization, in each and every
township whose boundaries coincide and are identical with those of
the town, as established under the township organization laws, the
trustee or trustees shall be elected at the same time and in the
same manner as the town officers ; and all elections heretofore held
at such time and in such manner in such townships are hereby
legalized. And in all such townships, if no trustees are elected at
the stated town meeting, and when vacancies occur in the board.

an election of trustee/ or trustees shall be ordered by the trustees of
schools, through the township treasurer, as provided in the twenty-
fifth (25th) section of this act."

"Section 33. Trustees of schools in newly organized townships
shall lay off the township into one or more districts, to suit the
wishes and convenience of a majority of the inhabitants of the
township, and shall prepare or cause to be prepared a map of the
township, on wdiich map shall be designated the district or districts,
to be styled, when there are more than one (1) district, ' District
No , in township No , range .... of the .... P. M. (ac-
cording to the proper numbers, county of , and state of

Illinois,' And when- petitioned so to do, as hereinafter provided,
they may, having discretion in the matter, at the regular meeting
in April, change such districts as lie wholly within their townships,
so as to divide or consolidate districts, to organize a new district
out of territory belonging to two (2) or more districts, or to detach
territory from one (1) district and add the same to another district ad-
jacent thereto. And at the same meeting, by the concurrent action
of the several boards of trustees of the townships in which the dis-
trict or districts affected lie, each board being petitioned as herein-
after provided, the same changes may be made in the boundaries,
both of districts which lie in separate townships but adjacent to
each other, and of districts formed of parts of two (2) or more
townships : Provided, that none of these changes shall be made
unless petitioned for — (1) by a majority of the legal voters of each
of the districts affected by the proposed change ; or, (2) by two-
thirds (f ) of the legal voters living within certain territory, described
in the petition, asking that said territory be detached from one
district and added to another ; or, (3) by two-thirds (f ) of all the
legal voters living within certain territory, containing not less than
ten (10) families, asking that said territory be made a new district-
But in case any territory be set off from any district that has a
bonded debt, the change not being petitioned for by a majority of
the legal voters of said district, such distiict shall remain liable for
the payment of such bonded debt, as if not divided. The directors
of the original district having such bonded debt, and of the district
into which the territory taken from such original district has been
incorporated or formed, shall constitute a joint board for the pur-
pose of determining and certifying, and they shall determine and
certify to the county clerk the amount of tax required yearly for
the purpose of paying the interest and principal of such bonded
debt, which tax shall be extended by the county clerk against all
the property embraced within such original district, as if it had not
been divided : Provided, also, that in school districts having a popu-
lation of not less than one thousand (1.000) inhabitants, any de-
sired change of boundaries may be submitted to the trustees by a
vote of the people, instead of by petition, as hereinbefore set forth ;
and when petitioned so to do by twenty-five legal voters of the
district, the school board of the district shall submit the question
of change desired to the voters of said district, at a special election
called for that purpose, and held at least thirty (30) days prior to
the regular meeting of the trustees at which they consider change

of district boundaries. If a majority of the votes cast at any such
election shall be in favor of the change proposed, then, due return
of the election having been made to the township treasurer, the
township trustees shall consider and take action, the same as if
petitioned therefor by a majority of the legal voters of such district;
but no question of change of boundaries shall be submitted to a
vote of the school district more than once in any one (1) year : Pro-
vided, further, that no petition shall be acted upon by any board of
trustees unless it shall have been filed with the clerk of said board
of trustees twenty (20) days before the regular meeting in April,
nor unless a copy of said petition, together with a notice, in writing,
which notice may be in the following form, to- wit :

"The directors of district No , in township No range of the prin-
cipal meridian, will take notice that the undersigned have made and filed with the clerk
of the board of trustees of said township their petition, a copy of which is herewith
handed to you.

shall be delivered by the petitioners, or some one of them, at
least ten (10) days before the date at which the petition is to be
considered, to the president or clerk of the board of directors of
each district whose boundaries will be changed if the petition is
granted. When, at the regular meeting of the trustees in April,
any such petition shall come before the trustees, it shall be the
duty of the trustees to ascertain, first, whether the foregoing pro-
visions have been strictly complied with ; and if it shall appear
that they, or either of them, have not been complied with, in such
case the board shall adjourn the hearing for not longer than four (4)
weeks, in order that the foregoing provisions may be complied with ;
but there shall be but one (1) adjournment for such purpose. If,
on the day of the regular meeting, or at the adjourned meeting, it
shall appear' that such provisions have been complied with, then
the trustees shall consider the petition, and shall also hear any
legal voters living in the district or districts that will be affected by
the change if made, who may appear before them to oppose the
petition ; and they shall grant or refuse the prayer of the petition-
ers without unreasonable delay. But the petitioners or the legal
voters, who have appeared before the trustees at the meeling when the
petition was considered, and opposed the same, shall have the right
of appeal to the county superintendent of schools : Provided, the
party appealing files with the clerk of the trustees a written notice
of appeal within ten (10) days after final action upon the petition
by the trustees. Whenever any changes, as provided in this sec-
tion, are made by the trustees of schools, if no appeal is taken to
the county superintendent, the clerk of the trustees shall make a
complete copy of the record of the action of the trustees, which
copy shall be certified by the president of the trustees and the clerk,
who shall file the same, together with a map of the township show-
ing the districts, and an accurate list of the tax-payers of the newly
arranged districts, with the county clerk within twenty (20) days of
the action of the trustees. When the trustees of schools shall or-
ganize a new district under the provisions of this section, it shall
be the duty of the clerk of the trustees, if no appeal is taken to
the county superintendent, to order, within fifteen (15) days after
the action of the trustees, an election, to be held at some convenient

time and place, within the boundaries of such newly organized dis-
trict, for the election of three (3) school directors, notice being given
by the township treasurer, who shall post up three (3) notices of
such election in three (3) prominent places in said district, at least
ten (10) days prior to the time appointed for holding such election,
which notices shall specify the place where such election is to be
held, the time for opening and closing the polls, and the object of
said election. It shall be the duty of the legal voters present, five
(5) of whom shall constitute a quorum, to appoint three (3) of their
number, two (2) of whom shall act as judges, and one (1) as clerk,
of said election. Within ten (10) days after the election, it shall be
the duty of the directors elected at said election, to meet at some con-
venient time and place, previously agreed upon by said directors, and
organize as a district board, by appointing one (1) of their number pres-
ident, and also some suitable person clerk of the board, who shall,
by virtue of his office, be cleriv of the district. At this first meeting
of the directors, they shall draw lots for their respective terms of
office for one (1), two (2) and three (3) years, each of which shall
be considered a fractional term, ending at each annual meeting,
according to the length of term drawn. When an appeal is taken
from the action of the trustees to the county superintendent, the
clerk of the trustees shall, within five (5) days after the written no-
tice of the appeal has been filed with him by the appellants, trans-
mit all the papers in the case, with a transcript of the records of
the trustees, showing their action thereon, to the county superin-
tendent, and in case of an appeal the township treasurer shall be
required to take no further action in the matter, except upon the
order of the county superintendent, whose duty it shall be to inves-
tigate the case upon such appeal ; and if, in his opinion, the change
asked is for the best interests of the district or districts concerned, he
shall make such change or changes, but if he considers the proposed
change unadvisable, he shall refuse to make it, and shall reverse, if
need be, the action of the trustees, and shall give the clerk from
whom he received the papers immediate notice of such refusal, and
his action shall be final and binding. If the changes asked by the
petitioners shall be made by the county superintendent, he shall
notify in writing the clerk by whom the papers in the case were
transmitted to him, of his action, and the clerk shall thereupon make
a record of the same, and shall, within ten days thereafter, make a
copy of the same and the map and list of taxpayers, and deliver
them to the county clerk for filing and record by him, the same as
if the change had been ordered by the trustees. A.nd in case a
new district is organized by the action of the county superintendent,
the clerk shall, within five (5) days thereafter, order an election of
directors in the new district the same as if the change had been
made by the board of trustees. Whenever a new district has been
formed by the trustees or by the county superintendent, from a part
of a district or from parts of two (2) or more districts, the trustees
of the township or townships concerned shall proceed forthwith to
make a distribution of any tax funds or other funds which are in
the hands of the treasurer, or to which the district may, at the

time of such division, be entitled, so that both theold anci .ic ,v' dis-
tricts shall receive parts of such funds in proportion to the amount
of taxes collected, next preceding such division, from the taxable
property in the territory composing the several districts. If the new
district be composed of parts of two (2) or more districts, the trustees
shall make distribution of said funds between the new district and
the old districts respectively, so that the new district shall receive
a distribution of the funds of each of the old districts in the pro-
portion which the amount of taxes collected from the property in
the territory of the new district bears to the whole taxes collected, next
before the division, in the old district ; and the town treasurer shall
forthwith place the sum so distributed to the credit of the respective
districts, and shall immediately place the proportion of the said
funds to which said new district may be entitled to its credit on his
books, and the funds on hand shall be subject at once to the order
of the directors of the new district, and those not on hand, as soon
as collected. The trustees of the township or townships concerned,
shall, at the time of the creation of a new district, or with-
in the period of thirty (30) days thereafter, proceed to the
appointment of three appraisers, who shall not be citizens
of the township or townships interested. It shall be the duty
of said appraisers, within thirty days after their appointment,
to appraise the school property, both real and personal, of the
district or districts interested, at their [its] fair cash value. Within
thirty (30) days after such appraisement, the trustees of the town-
ship or townships concerned shall proceed to charge the property to
the district in which it may be found, and to credit the other dis-
trict interested therein with its proportion of such valuation : Pro-
vided, that the bona fide debts, if any, of the old district, shall first
be deducted and the balance charged and credited as aforesaid, and
of the funds then on hand, or subsequently to accrue, belonging to
such district to which such property is charged, the trustees shall
direct the treasurer to place to the credit of the district not retain-
ing said property its proportion of the value of said . property. If
trustees shall fail to observe the provisions of this section in refer-
ence to distribution of funds and property, they shall be individually
and jointly liable to the district interested, in an action on the case,
to the full amount of the damages sustained by the district aggrieved.
Where trustees have heretofore failed to make distribution of prop-
erty to districts, as provided in this section, any district interested
in the making of such distribution may, by its directors, request the
trustees, in writing, to proceed to make such distribution ; and said
trustees shall proceed to make distribution in the manner herein
prescribed, and shall be liable in like manner for neglect or failure.
The clerk of any board of trustees who shall fail, neglect or refuse
to perform the duties imposed upon him by this section, or any of
them, within the time and in the manner prescribed, shall, for each
offense, forfeit not less than ten dollars ($10) nor more than twenty-
five dollars ($25) of his pay as clerk of the board of trustees and
township treasurer, which forfeiture shall be enforced by the trus-
tees. If any school district shall, for two (2) consecutive years, fail
to maintain a public school, as required by law to do, it shall be

the duty of the trustees of schools of the township or townships in
which such district hes, to attach the territory of such district to
one (1) or more adjoining school districts ; and, in case said terri-
tory is added to two (2) or more districts, to divide the property of
said district between the districts to which its territory is added, in
the manner hereinbefore provided for the division of property in case
a new district is orga'hized from part of another district, and the
action of the trustees in such a case shall be final and binding ;
and the clerk of the trustees in such cases shall flle a copy of the
record of the same, together with the map and list of taxpayers,
with the county clerk, as in other cases of change of district bounda-
ries. The majority of the legal voters of a district lying in two (2)
or more townships may secure the dissolution of said district by
petitioning the several boards of trustees of said townships, at their
regular meeting in April, that each will add the territory belonging
to said district in its township to one (1) or more adjoining districts.
Upon receipt of such petition, or returns of such election, the several
boards of trustees shall each make such disposition of the territory
of said district as lies in its township, and they shall jointly make
such division of the property of said district between the districts to
which its territory is attached, as is hereinbefore provided in the
case of the organization of a new district from a part of another
district ; and the action of the trustees, in accordance with such
petition or election, shall be final and binding, and the clerks of the
several boards of trustees in such case shall file a copy of the record
of the same, together with the map and list of taxpayers, with the
county clerk, as in other cases of change of district boundaries.

"Section 34. At the regular semi-annual meetings, on the first
Mondays of April and October, the trustees shall ascertain the
amount of state, county and township funds on hand and subject
to distribution, and shall apportion the same as follows :

First — Whatever may be due for the compensation and the books
of the treasurer, and such sum as may be deemed reasonable for
dividing school lands, making plats, etc.

Second — The remainder shall be divided among the districts or
fractions of districts in which schools have been kept in accordance
with the provisions of this act, and the instructions of the state and
county superintendents, during the preceding year ending June 30,
in proportion to the number of children under twenty-one (21) years
of age in each : Provided, that no district which shall show by
schedules filed on or before the meeting of the trustees in October,
1881, that it has had a legal school for one hundred and ten (110)
days during the year preceding, shall be deprived of a share of the
funds distributed at that and the next regular meeting of the trustees.
The funds thus apportioned shall be placed on the books of the treasu-
rer to the credit of the respective districts, and the same shall be paid
out by the treasurer on the legal orders of the directors of the proper
districts."

"Section 48. The directors of each district are hereby declared a

trict No , township No , range . . . . , county of , and

the state of Illinois,' and by that name may sue and be sued in all

balance due teachers, and for all debts legally contracted. They
shall establish and keep in operation for at least one hundred and
ten (110) days of actual teaching in each year, without reduction by
reason of closing schools upon legal holidays, or for any other cause,
and longer if practicable, a sufficient number of free schools for the
accommodation of all children in the district over the age of six (6)
and under twenty-one (21) years, and shall secure to all such
children the right and opportunity to an equal education in such
free schools. They shall adopt and enforce all necessary rules and
regulations for the management and government of the schools, and
shall visit and inspect the same, from time to time, as the good of
the schools may require. They shall apj)oint all teachers, fix the
amount of their salaries, and may dismiss them for incompetency,
cruelty, negligence, immorality, or other suflicient cause. They
shall have power to assign pupils to the several schools. They
shall direct what branches of study shall be taught, and what text
books and apparatus shall be used in the several schools, and
strictly enforce uniformity of text books therein, but shall not per-
mit text books to be changed oftener than once in four (4) years.
They shall have power to purchase, at the expense of the district,
a sufficient number of the text books used to supply children whose
parents are not able to buy them. The text books bought for such
purpose shall be loaned only; and the directors shall require the
teacher to see that they are properly cared for and returned at the
end of each term of school. They may suspend or expel pupils
who may be guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct, and no
action shall lie against them for such expulsion or suspension; and
may provide that children under twelve (12) years of age shall not
be confined in school more than four (4) hours daily. It shall not
be lawful for a board of directors to purchase or locate a school

Section 1. Be it enacted hy the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly, That section four (4) of an act
entitled "An act in regard to wills," approved March 20, 1872, in
force July 1, 1872, be amended so as to read as follows :

codicil is produced for probate, or shall be unable to attend said
court, it shall be lawful for such county or probate court, upon the

SENATE.

CONCERNING PRESENTATION OF PORTRAIT OF HON. STEPHEN T. LOGAN.

Whereas, the late Stephen T. Logan was alike distmgiiished as a
lawyer and legislator of this state, and his family have signified
their intention to present to the state, as a fixture of the supreme
court room in this capitol, his life-size portrait by the artist Healy ;
therefore.

Resolved by the Senate, the House of Piepresentatives concurring herein.
That the judges of the supreme court be requested to receive, on
behalf of the state, the portrait aforesaid, and that they make such
order as to its disposition as they deem proper, and consistent with
the object of the donation.

CONCERNING CHICAGO SEWAGE IN ILLINOIS AND MICHIGAN CANAL.

Whereas, the state of Illinois, in general assembly, did, on the
sixteenth day of February, 1865, grant and authorize the city of
Chicago, in the state of Illinois, to deepen the Illinois and Michigan
canal for the purpose of, and with the intent to better the system
of sewerage of the said city of Chicago by permitting a free flow of
water from Lake Michigan through the Chicago river and said ca-
nal to the DesPlaines and Illinois rivers ; and the city of Chicago
did perfect said improvement in conformity with said permission ;
and

Whereas, the great fire in the said city of Chicago on the eighth and
ninth days of October, A. D. 1871, did so greatly damage the assess-
able property of a very large number of its citizens and taxpayers,
and the People of the State of Illinois did, by its general assembly,
refund to the said city of Chicago the amount of the cost of
deepening the Illinois and Michigan canal, said sum refunded being
in gross two millions nine hundred and fifty-five thousand three
hundred and forty dollars ; and

Whereas, the deepening of the canal as aforesaid has proved to
be totally inadequate for the purposes intended, and the large
amount of sewage of the city of Chicago being far greater than the

160 JOINT RESOLUTIONS.

capacity of the canal and the water now passing through it to
deodorize and render innocuous ; and

Whereas, the foulness of the water annually causes the death of
millions of fish in the DesPlaines and Illinois rivers, that float to
the shores and decay; and

Whereas, said sewage, in an entirely undecomposed and putrid
mass, is carried by the current of the canal into the DesPlaines
river, and thence into the Illinois river, and in its foulest conditions
is thus transported to and below the city of Peoria, in said state,
rendering the air, at all points along its passage, so impure and
foul as to be exceedingly offensive, and taking with it germs of dis-
ease of all kinds prevalent in the city of Chicago, and thus spreading
them broadcast through the entire DesPlaines and Illinois river valleys,
causing thereby much illness as well as poisoning of the blood, and
debilitating the systems of 200,000 people ; and

AVhereas, careful investigation leads our people to fear that an
epidemic may spread over said section of the state of Illinois from
the causes above stated; and

Whereas, in addition to the above distress, there has been a great
loss to property, business industries, and to the communities in said
region, by reason of the causes herein mentioned ; and

Whereas, prior to the deepening of said Illinois and Michigan
canal, the water necessary for all purposes of navigating said canal
and propelling of machinery was obtained from the DesPlaines river
and the Calumet feeder, through Lane's lake ; and

Whereas, the bed of the DesPlaines river, at the Summit and
thence westward along the line of and adjacent to the canal, is, at
a low stage of water, eight (8) feet above the surface level of the
canal, and will average a supply of water sufficient for all canal
and power purposes during the seasons of navigation ; and

Whereas, the supplying of the canal from these sources will so
dilute and weaken the sewage of the city of Chicago, as to greatly
relieve it of its foulness and stench, to the great delight, relief and
health of the people near to and bordering upon the line of the
canal, the DesPlaines and Illinois rivers ; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring
herein, That the Board of Canal Commissioners of the Illinois and
Michigan canal be, and they are hereby, directed to cause sluice-
ways of sufficient capacity, with the proper guard-gates, to be opened
from the DesPlaines river to the canal, at or near the Summit, in
Cook county, and at or near Lemont, in Cook county, and also to con-
struct a dam across the former Calumet feeder at such suitable point
as will cause the waters from Lane's lake to fiow into the canal;
that said canal commissioners shall immediately commence, construct
and improve said sluices and feeders in the order named, and pay
for the same out of any moneys in their hands or control as canal
commissioners, resulting from the earnings of the canal. The
amount to be expended as above designated in the prosecution of
said improvement shall not, however, exceed the sum of ten thous-
and dollars : Provided, that the canal commissioners shall first
confer with the mayor or other proper authorities of the city of
Chicago, and if said city shall proceed without delay to cause a

JOINT RESOLUTIONS. 161

flow into the canal from the Chicago river sufficient to dilute and
purify the waters, and thus remedy the evils complained of, said
flow to be not less than 60,000 cubic feet per minute, including the
ordinary flow into the canal from the Chicago river, or so much
thereof as in their judgment said canal can carry, and if this shall
be accomplished by the first day of September, 1881, the commission-
ers shall accept it in lieu of obtaining a supply of water from the other
sources named : Provided, further, that said commissioners are
hereby directed to take care of the 60,000 cubic feet per minute,
above contemplated, if so furnished by the city of Chicago : Pro-
vided, further, that the adoption of this resolution shall not commit
the state to a system of permanent drainage of Chicago sewage
through either the canal or DesPlaines or Illinois rivers, but that
the state reserves the right to require the city of Chicago, in future
years, to take care of its sewage through other channels : And, pro-
vided, further, that if the said city of Chicago shall erect pumping
works for the purpose of causing such flow as aforesaid, the canal
commissioners shall allow the said city to erect said pumping works
upon the canal lands in Bridgeport ; and said city shall support,
control and manage said pumping works, subject to the direction of
the canal commissioners, relative to the amount of water to be
received into the canal, from time to time, as the exigencies of the
canal may require, but at the expense of the said city of Chicago :
Provided, further, that the city of Chicago, its officers, agents or em-
ployes, shall derive from this resolution no right to control or
exercise any authority over any of the gates, locks or dams of said
canal.

CONCERNING THE SPREAD OF PLEURO-PNEUMONIA AMONG CATTLE.

Whereas, the interests of this state have already sustained serious
injury by reason of the restrictions thrown around the exportation
of _ cattle from this country into Great Britain, such restrictions
being based upon the supposed prevalence of the disease known as
"pleuro-pneumonia" among cattle in parts of the eastern states of
this Union, and are exposed to still further injury from the possible
dissemination of said disease among the cattle of this state ; there-
fore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring herein,
That our representatives in congress be requested, and our senators
be instructed, to use their influence and endeavors to have the
congress of the United States enact such laws as shall tend to ter-
minate and bring to an end, in the United States, the disease
known as pleuro-pneumonia among cattle, and estabhsh, by national
authority, a rigid system of inspection of all cattle for the export
trade.

Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Illinois, the House of
Representatives concurring herein. That we regard the arbitrary action
of the British government in re-arresting Michael Davitt and sus-
pending the Irish representatives in Parliament, as a flagrant viola-
tion of popular rights, a menace to constitutional liberty, and cal-
culated to intensify the spirit of just opposition it was intended to
crush.

A. D. 1881, in answer to a resolution of the senate, submit his
opinion as to the rights of "The Kankakee Eiver Improvement
Company," claiming to be the successors of "The Kankakee and
Iroquois Navigation and Manufacturing Company," that said com-
pany had forfeited every right to exist longer, by reason of its con-
tinued and persistent violation of every promise it had made, and
that by an application to the courts, by quo warranto or scire facias, it
would be declared to have forfeited all its rights, and the state
would be reinstated in all its natural and supreme control of those
waters ; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring
herein, That the attorney-general be and is hereby instructed to
immediately institute such legal proceedings as he may deem most
expedient in behalf of the state, to judicially determine the rights
of the state in such waters, in accordance with the views expressed

have memorialized the present general assembly, praying that this
body would make such additional provision for the chronic insane
as may be found necessary, either by enlarging the present institu-
tions, or by establishing new ones, or by aiding and assisting the
counties properly to care for their insane ; and,

Whereas, it is believed that there are nearly or quite four thousand
insane persons in the state, of whom about two thousand only are

CONCERNING LEGISLATION BY CONGRESS AGAINST POOLING OF EARNINGS BY

RAILROADS.

Whereas, 'by the consolidating of the great railroad corporations
and interests of this and other states, great influences and power
are obtained and exercised by them, which threatens to interfere
with and discriminate against the inter-state commerce of our coun-
try, and

Whereas, the protection of shippers against unjust discrimination
by railroads is absolutely essential to the life of commerce, and is
a matter of material concern, and

Whereas, there are several bills now pending in the congress
of the United States, for the regulation and protection of our inter-
state commerce, and they are now being considered ; therefore,

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate herein concur-
ring, That our representatives in congress be requested, and our

CONCERNING THE IMPROVEMENT OF STURGEON BAY BY THE GENERAL

GOVERNMENT.

Whereas, for the want of sufficient and well improved harbors on
the Upper Mississippi river, there is great annual destruction of
steamboats and other water-craft, as well as timber and lumber
rafts, by the breaking up of ice and by storms on said river, in-
volving losses of great magnitude to the shipping interests of the
entire Mississippi valley ; and

Whereas, Sturgeon Bay, on the Upper Mississippi river, opposite
to the city of New Boston, in Mercer county, considering its locality,
is the best natural harbor on the upper division of said river, em-
bracing, as it does, a body of still water one and a half miles in
length, three-fourths of a mile wide, and fifteen feet deep, and
about half way between the cities of St. Louis and St. Paul; that

170 JOINT RESOLUTIONS.

said harbor will afford a safe and convenient shelter and protection
for vessels,, timber and lumber rafts, being in a latitude where safe
harborage is absolutely necessary during the severe and rigorous
winters that are usual in that latitude ; that the bay has two or
three bars that it is necessary 'to remove in order to make it safe
and commodious for a harbor, which can be done with compara-
tively small expense, considering the great advantage it will be to
the shipping interest of the Upper Mississippi river;

Resolved, therefore, by the House of Representatives, the Senate con-
curring herein. That our representatives in congress from the state
of Illinois be and they are hereby requested to use all honorable
means to secure the permanent improvement of Sturgeon Bay by
the government of the United States, in such a manner as to make

Resolved, That the secretary of state be and he is hereby requested
to transmit a copy of these resolutions to each of the representa-
tives and senators in congress from the state of Illinois.

CONCERNING THE EXPORTATION OF TOBACCO.

Whereas, under date of February 6, 1880, a memorial was ad-
dressed by the tobacco board of trade of Nashville, Tennessee, to
the congress of the United States, setting forth the fact that a
great injury and manifest injustice is being done to one of the
largest agricultural interests in this country, and to every one
interested in the purchase or sale of one of [the] great staples pro-
duced in thirteen different states of this Union, viz : leaf tobacco ;
and.

Whereas, this great injury and manifest injustice is caused by
the fact, as further set forth in said memorial, that in the countries
of France, Spain, Italy and Austria, in Europe, the importation
and sale of this great staple is made a government monopoly, and
that in no other way than through this government monopoly is
tobacco allowed to be imported into their dominions, and this to the
great detriment of the thousands of this country interested as pro-
ducers or dealers therein, by depriving them of competition in the
sale thereof; and.

Whereas, the Hon. John F. House, member of congress from
Tennessee, in pursuance of said memorial of the Nashville board of
trade, and a letter previously addressed by him to the secretary of

state of the United States, did, on the day of February, 1880,

introduce in the congress of the United States a joint resolution,
requesting the president of the United States to open negotiations
with the four great governments before mentioned, viz : France,

JOINT RESOLUTIONS. 171

Spain, Italy and Austria, with a view to securing the relief asked
in the aforementioned memorials and resolutions, which joint reso-
tion was passed by both houses of congress ; and,

Whereas, his excellency, the president of the United States, has
as yet taken no action, as requested by said joint resolution of
congress, to relieve this great staple of the oppressive burden and
the unjust discrimination to which it is subjected by the operation
of the great monopolies of the four governments of Europe, before
mentioned, viz : France, Spain, Italy and Austria, and

Whereas, the people of the state are largely engaged in the pro-
duction, purchase and sale of leaf tobacco, [and] consequently suffer
great damage and loss by the operation of these great monopolies
of European governments ; therefore, be it

Resolved hij the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring herein,
That his excellency, the president of the United States, be and he
is hereby most urgently requested to take immediate action in this
matter, in accordance with the aforementioned joint resolution of
congress of the United States, and to the great relief of the citizens
of this and many other states of this Union; therefore, belt further

Resolved, That our senators in congress be and they are hereby
instructed, and our representatives requested, to exert themselves to
the utmost of their influence and ability to secure the relief prayed
for in the aforementioned memorials, as of the greatest importance
to the agricultural and commercial interests of this state.

Resolved, That copies of this preamble and these resolutions be
forwarded to his excellency, the president of the United States, and
to the honorable secretary of state of the United States, and to
each of our senators and representatives in congress.

concerning the construction of fishways by the canal commis-
sioners.

Whereas, it appears, from statements made by the fish commis-
sioners of the state of Illinois, that the dams constructed by the
state of Illinois are not sufficient to meet the requirements of the
present law in regard to fishways ; therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring
herein. That the canal commissioners of the state of Illinois be and
are hereby instructed to complete or reconstruct said dams, so that
they may afford easy and ample opportunity for fish to pass over
said dams.

172 JOINT RESOLUTIONS.

CONCERNING THE REVISION OF RAILROAD SCHEDULES BY THE RAILROAD AND
WAREHOUSE COMMISSION.

Whereas, the period of nearly eight years has elapsed since the
schedule of the freight and passenger rates on railroads in the state of
Illinois was fixed by the railroad and warehouse commissioners ; and

Whereas, the rapid growth of the country, and the large increase
of business and earnings of the leading roads in the state, as shown
by the reports, make it manifest that freight and passengers may
be transported on said roads at a much lower rate than is fixed by
the schedule now in force, and thereby the producing and commer-
cial interests of the state be greatly benefited, and no wrong done to
the railroads ; therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring
herein, That the railroad and warehouse commissioners be and they
are hereby requested to revise the schedule of rates of freight and
passengers for the railroads of the state of Illinois, as' soon as
practicable, and make such reduction in rates as, in their judgment,
would be just and fair between the railroad companies and the pro-
ducing interests in the state of Illinois.

CONCERNING THE APPOINTMENT OF EMORY COBB AS COMMISSIONER OF

AGRICULTURE.

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring
herein, That the representatives and senators in congress from the
state of Illinois be and they are hereby requested to use all hon-
orable means to secure the appointment of Hon. Emory Cobb, of
Kankakee, Illinois, as United States commissioner of agriculture.

CONCERNING REGISTRATION OF PATENTS.

Whereas, there are now existing and in use in this state an in-
numerable multitude of devices, attachments, combinations and ma-
chines, which have been patented under the laws of the United
States ; and

Whereas, there is no system of record to show to whom the
same belong, and in the nature of the case it would be impractica-
ble to record in every county in the United States the original

JOINT RESOLUTIONS. 173

patent, and the numerous sub-divided rights — such as state, district,
county, township, manufacturing, farm and other rights ; and

Whereas, manufacturers of nearly every kind, and the owners of
machinery of every character, including rubber used by druggists [den-
tists], shuttles of sewing machines, mould boards of a plow, farm gates,
pumps, churns, hay presses, scales, and particularly some parts of ma-
chinery used in manufacturing flour, have been made again and again to
pay royalty for using said patents, even though the party then using
said patent had bought the property with the machinery already
in use by prior owner, and paid full value therefor, without know-
ledge of any latent claim existing, and no way of finding out the
existence thereof; and

Whereas, many of our citizens have been threatened with suits,
and sued in the United States courts, and blackmailed rather than
to be taken far from home, and subjected to heavy expenses; there-
fore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives , the Senate concurring,
That our members of congress and United States senators be
requested to use their best endeavors to procure the enactment
of such laws as will protect innocent purchasers of patent ma-
chinery, and to have the claim of royalty so restricted, that in-
justice shall not be perpetrated upon our citizens, by threats of
suits, or suits remote from their homes, upon patents or claims of
royalty, without innocent purchasers first having, without expense
to themselves, an easy [avenue of] knowledge to learn the title of
the claimant.

concerning the death of THOMAS MATTHEW HALPIN.

Whereas, Hon. Thomas ]\Iatthew Halpin, of Chicago, Cook county,
Illinois, an esteemed and eminent member of the house of represen-
tatives of the state of Illinois, in the 28th and 29th general assem-
blies, has recently died in Chicago ; therefore, be it

Resolved, that the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring
therein, on behalf of the people of the state of Illinois, express sincere
regret at the loss of so useful a citizen and so honorable a member
of the community.

Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the records of
this general assembly, and a copy thereof, properly attested, be for-
warded to the sorrowing widow of the deceased.

CONCERNING DESTRUCTION OF MINNESOTA STATE CAPITOL, AND OF ILLINOIS
DOCUMENTS DESTROYED — DONATION.

Whereas, the state capitol of the state of ]\Iinnesota, located at
St. Paul, was destroyed on the night of IVTarch 1, 1881, by fire,
causing the destruction and loss of their state library, including

174 JOIKT RESOLUTIONS.

five or six thousand volumes of law books and complete sets of re-
ports of the federal and state courts ; and

Whereas, by comity between the states, it is customary for each
to exchange with one another copies of their public documents and
reports, and decisions of their state courts ; therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring
herein, That the secretary of the state be and he is hereby in-
structed to furnish and forward to the governor of the state of
Minnesota, for its state library, one copy each of such public docu-
ments, reports, digests and reports of the decisions of the supreme
court of this state, or such as he may deem can be spared from
the reserve numbers of such volumes as he has on hand in the
public library.

CONCERNING SUBMISSION OF ESTIMATES IN DETAIL BY OFFICERS OF STATE
INSTITUTIONS WHEN ASKING FOR APPROPRIATIONS.

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring herein,
That the trustees and officers of state institutions making application
to the general assembly for appropriations for building or other
improvements, be and they are hereby directed, in their next printed
biennial reports, to submit drawings and estimates showing the
character and probable cost of every such proposed improvement,
with the amount of labor and material, and the price of the same,
in sufficient detail to enable the legislature readily to comprehend,
judge and determine as to the propriety of making the appropria-
tions asked.
