amended, by amending sections 11, 32, 59, 90, 112 and ISO thereof,
and by adding thereto three sections, to be knoivn as sections 186, 131
and 138.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly: An Act entitled: "An Act in
regard to the administration of estates", approved April 1, 1872, in
force July 1, 1872, as amended, is amended, by amending sections 11,
32, 59, 90, 112 and 130 thereof, and by adding thereto three sections, to
be known as sections 136, 137 and 138, the amended and added sections
to read as follows :

§ 11. During any contest in relation to the probate of any will,
testament, or codicil, before the same is recorded, or until a will which
may have once existed, but is destroyed or concealed, is established, and
the substance thereof committed to record, with proof thereupon taken,
or during any contest in regard to the right of executorship, or to
administer the estate of any person dying either testate or intestate, or
whenever any other contingency happens which is productive of great
delay before letters testamentary or of administration can be issued upon
the estate of such testator or intestate, to the person or persons having
legal preference to the same, the County Court may appoint an}r person
or persons as administrators, to collect and preserve the estate of any
such decedent, until probate of his will, or until other administration

ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES.

of his estate is granted, taking bond and security for the collection,
preservation and administration of the estate, making an inventory
thereof, and safe-keeping and delivering up the same when thereunto
required by the court, to the proper executor or administrator, whenever
they shall be admitted and qualified as such. Such administrator to
collect shall have such powers and authority as is vested by law in an
executor or administrator, provided the same be exercised under and
subject to the direction and order of the court, first obtained.

§ 32. When any court grants letters testamentary or of adminis-
tration, of the estate of any person deceased, without taking good security
as aforesaid, or when any security heretofore or hereafter taken becomes
in the judgment of the court insufficient, the court may, on the appli-
cation of any person entitled to distribution, or otherwise interested in
such estate, or on its own motion require such executor or administrator
to give other and sufficient security; and in default thereof the letters
testamentary or of administration, shall be revoked, and administration
de bonis non granted; but all acts done according to law by the executor
or administrator so removed prior to such revocation, shall be valid.

§ 59. Every appraiser appointed under this Act shall be entitled
to the sum of $2.00 per day for each day's necessary attendance in
making all such appraisements, or such additional fees, compensation
and charges as the court may deem reasonable and just, to be allowed
by the County Court, and paid upon its order by the executor or ad-
ministrator.

If the administrator or executor of an estate discovers, at any time
after an inventory and appraisement of the property is made, that the
personal property and assets of the estate do not exceed the amount of
the widow's allowance, after deducting the funeral expenses and other
necessary expenses incurred, such administrator or executor shall report
the facts to the court, and if the court finds the report to be true it shall
order said property and assets to be delivered to the widow by the
administrator or executor, and discharge the executor or administrator
from further duty; but such executor or administrator shall first pay
out of the property and assets the costs and expenses of administration
and funeral expenses. After the court orders the delivery of such
property and assets to the widow, the clerk of said court shall make and
deliver to her a certified copy of the order, under seal, which shall vest
her with complete title to said property and assets, and enable her to sue
for and recover the same in her own name and for her own use. Such
widow shall not be liable for any of the decedent's debts or liabilities,
excepting the funeral expenses of the deceased. If, upon affidavit being
fiied with the clerk of said court, that such administrator or executor
fails or refuses to report in any case provided for in this section, the
court may order a citation and attachment to issue as in other cases of
a failure of administrators to report. And on a discovery of new
assets, administration may be granted as in other cases, and charged to
the account of the estate.

§ 90. Upon the committal of waste by the surviving partner or
partners, or when, in the judgment of the court, it is to the best interest

ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES.

of the estate of said decedent, the court may, upon proper application,
under oath, setting forth specifically the facts and circumstances relied
on, protect the estate of the deceased partner, by citing forthwith the
surviving partner or partners to give security for the faithful settlement
of the affairs of the co-partnership, and for his accounting for and
paying over to the executor or administrator of the deceased whatever
shall be found to be due, after paying partnership debts and costs of
settlement, within such time as shall be fixed by the court. The giving
of such security may be enforced by attachment, or, upon refusal to
give such security, the court may appoint a receiver of the partnership
property and effects with like powers and duties of receivers in courts
of chancery; the costs and expenses of proceedings under this section
to be paid by the executor or administrator, out of the estate of the
deceased, or by the surviving partner, or partly by each, as the court
may order.

§ 112. All executors and administrators shall exhibit accounts
of their administration for settlement, to the County Court from which
the- letters testamentary or of administration were obtained, at the first
term thereof, after the expiration of one year after the date of their
letters, and in like manner every twelve months thereafter, or sooner, if
required by the court, until the duties of their administration are fully
completed : Provided, that no final settlement shall be made and ap-
proved by the court, unless the heirs at law of the decedent and the
legatees under the will, and the creditors, if any, of the decedent, whose
bequests or allowed claims have not been satisfied, have been notified
thereof, in such manner as the court may direct.

§ 130. Whenever real estate is required to be sold, for the pay-
ment of debts and costs and expenses of administration, or for the
purpose of satisfying a legacy which is a charge upon such real estate,
the court may make all necessary orders to coerce the executor or ad-
ministrator to make immediate application for an order to sell such
real estate.

§ 136. Depositions of witnesses in all proceedings under this Act
shall be taken in the same manner, as near as may be, as is now or may
hereafter be provided by law for the taking of the depositions of such
witnesses in suits at law or in chancery.

§ 137. Where it appears that a legacy provided by the will of a
decedent is a charge express or implied upon the real estate of decedent,
and there is not sufficient personal estate of said decedent out of which
such legacy can properly be satisfied, or such legacy is not otherwise
paid, satisfied or lapsed, then the County or Probate Court of the county
where letters testamentary or of administration with the will annexed
were issued, may upon the filing of a petition therefor by the executor or
administrator, order the sale of real estate upon which such legacy is a
charge, or so much of said real estate as may be necessary to satisfy
such legacy, together with the costs and expenses of such proceeding.
The mode of commencing such proceedings shall be by the filing of a
petition by the executor or administrator with the will annexed, in the
Countv or Probate Court of the countv where letters testamentarv or of

ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES.

administration with the will annexed were issued. The widow, surviving
husband, heirs and devisees of the testator or testatrix, and the guardians
of any such as are minors, and the conservator of such as have con-
servators, and all persons holding liens against the real estate described
in the petition, or any part thereof, or having or claiming any interest
therein in possession or otherwise, shall be made parties. If there are
persons interested in the premises whose names are not known, then they
shall be made parties by the name of unknown owners. The practice
and procedure in such cases shall be the same, as near as may be, as the
practice and procedure in proceedings for the sale of real estate by
executors and administrators to pay the debts of decedents. The pro-
ceeds of the sale of the real estate, after the payment of legacies which
are a charge and lien thereon, and the costs and expenses of such pro-
ceedings, shall be paid over to the devisees, heirs at law, or other persons
thereunto entitled as their interest therein may appear.

§ 138. If the executor or administrator shall fail to present a
full, complete and true account, as required by law, the County or
Probate Court shall have full power to state such an account, which
account so stated by the court when entered of record shall be binding
and conclusive against such executor or administrator and the surety
or sureties on his bond or bonds, 'subject, however, to the right of
appeal as in other cases.

plaint may be filed at the expiration of ten (10) days after such notifi-
cation with the Director. The Director shall attempt to secure an
explanation or adjustment; failing this, within seven days he shall
cause a copy thereof, together with a notice of a time and place for. a
hearing on such complaint, to be served personally or by mail upon such
commission merchant. Such service shall be made at least seven days

or plant disease, or is likely to be so infested or infected, in any other

or in any locality therein, or that any plant or plant product, coming
therefrom into this State is liable to convey infection to plants or plant
products in this State, the Department of Agriculture shall report such
fact to the Governor. The Governor may thereupon, by proclamation,
schedule such state, territory, district, province, or country, or any
portion thereof, or any locality therein, and prohibit the bringing there-
from into this State of any plant or plant product of the kind infested
or infected, or liable to be infested and infected, or is liable to convey

regulations as may be prescribed by the Department of Agriculture and
approved by the Governor.

knowingly transport, receive or convey such prohibited plant or plant
product from the scheduled district into the State of Illinois in violation

conviction thereof shall be fined not less than five hundred dollars nor
more than five thousand dollars for each and every offense and shall be

corporation by reason of such importation or transportation of such

such cattle, and the expense of such tests shall be borne by the owner,
unless said owner shall make application to have his entire herd of
breeding cattle tested annually, or semi-annually; in which case, the
testing shall be done free of charge under the direction of the De-
partment of Agriculture of the State of Illinois, in cooperation with
the Department of Agriculture of the United States.

§ 3. The Department of Agriculture shall have the power to

ment of Agriculture and a representative of the Department of Agri-

agreeable to all. The owner shall be bound by the appraisal. The
State of Illinois shall pay to the owner of cattle destroyed under the
provisions of this Act one-third of the difference between the appraised

which the owner shall receive, provided that in no case shall any pay-
ment hereunder exceed $25.00 for any grade animal or $50.00 for any
pure-bred animal, and no payment shall be made unless the owner has
complied with all lawful quarantine regulations.

§ 7. No reimbursement shall be made to any person who is not
a bona fide resident of the State of Illinois and who has not been a
bona fide owner of the cattle for a period of six months immediately
preceding the test.

appointed in the first instance and vacancies caused by the refusal, in-
capacity, or death of an appointee filled ; the time and place of the hearing
and the rules for the hearing of such controversy, not in conflict with the
provisions of this Act; the parties to such submission may include by
reference in said written submission the published rules of any organi-
zation or association which rules shall thereby become a part of the
contract of submission, provided that before the signing of said sub-
mission, said rules shall have been approved by the court that under

tachment, attachment in aid, garnishment, replevin, distress for rent,
execution, or other writ or process for the seizure or sequestration of
property, shall not, because of any such submission or award not fully

same as the fees of witnesses before the Circuit Courts of the State:

bitrators or any of them, either in term time or vacation, may compel

submit any question of law arising in the course of the reference for
the opinion of the court, stating the facts upon which the question
arises, and such opinion when given shall bind the arbitrators in the
making of their award; (b) state their final award as to the whole or
part of the reference in the form of a conclusion of fact for the

(Senate Bill, J\to. 477. Approved June 23, 1919.)

An Act to revise the law with relation to banks and hanking.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly: That on a ratification of this
Act by a vote of the people in accordance with the Constitution of this
State, it shall be lawful to form banks and banking associations, as here-
inafter provided, for the purpose of discount and deposit, buying and
selling exchange and doing a general banking business, excepting the
issuing of bills to circulate as money; and such banks or banking asso-
ciations shall have the power to loan money on personal and real estate
security, and to accept and execute trusts.

§ 2. When any association of persons, not less than three, desire
to avail themselves of the provisions of this Act, they shall apply to the
Auditor for permission to organize stating their place of business, the
amount of capital and name under which they desire to organize, and
the time for which such association shall continue, which statement shall
be under their hands and seals, and acknowledged before some officer
authorized by law to acknowledge deeds and the Auditor shall issue to
them a permit to organize, but no permit shall be issued hereunder to
any corporation by the same name as any other corporation then oper-
ating under the laws of this State or of any law of the United States or
of any person, firm or partnership then conducting a banking business,
or by a name so similar to the name of any other corporation then Oper-
ating under the laws of this State, or of any law of the United States or
of any person, firm, partnership or corporation then conducting a bank-
ing business as in the opinion of the Auditor of Public Accounts will
create confusion, provided that a permit may be issued hereunder to a
corporation by a name the same as or similar to the name of any person,
firm or parntership, then conducting a banking business, by and with

BANKS AND BANKING. 225

the written consent of such person, firm or partnership of the same or
similar name, such name of such proposed corporation not being the
same or similar to the name of any banking corporation then operating
under the laws of this State or of the United States, and all associations
formed under this Act shall have their capital stock divided into shares
of one hundred dollars ($100) each.

§ 3. As soon as may be after receipt of authorization, books of
subscription to the capital stock may be opened, and when the capital
stock shall have been fully subscribed for a meeting of the subscribers
to the stock of such association shall be called (each subscriber having
had at least three days' notice) for determination of the number and
election of directors to serve as managers for one year, and until their
successors are elected. And no director shall be elected unless he shall
have received votes representing at least a majority of the shares of the
association; and the voting may be done by person, or by proxy, and at
such election the subscribers or stockholders shall have the right to vote
for the number of shares owned or subscribed by him for as many per-
sons as there are directors to be elected, or to accumulate such shares
and give one candidate as many votes as the number of directors multi-
plied by the number of his shares of stock shall equal, or to distribute
them on the same principle among as many candidates as he shall deem
proper.

§ 4. The directors so elected may proceed to organize by the elec-
tion of one of their number as president, and may appoint the necessary
officers and employees and fix their salaries to carry on the business of
the bank or association and make by-laws (not inconsistent with this
Act) for the government of the bank or association; and each director
shall take and subscribe to an oath such as the Auditor shall prescribe
of fealty to the bank or association of which he is director and that he
will, so far as the duty involves on him, diligently and honestly admin-
ister the affairs of such bank or association and will not knowingly vio-
late or willingly permit to be violated any of the provisions of this Act;
and that he is the owner in good faith and in his own right of the num-
ber of shares of stock required by this Act; and that the same is not
hypothecated or in any way pledged as security for any loan or debt.
Such oath subscribed by the director making it and certified by a proper
officer authorized to administer oaths shall be immediately transmitted
to the Auditor and shall be filed and preserved by him in his office.
The directors shall cause to be kept suitable books of record of all the
transactions of the bank or association and shall furnish to the Auditor
lists of the stockholders and copies of any other records the Auditor may .
require. And there shall be an annual meeting of the stockholders for
the election of directors each year on the first Monday in January unless
some otfcer date shall be fixed by the by-laws of the association. Any
omission to elect directors shall not impair any of the rights and privi-
leges of the association or of any person in any way interested, but the
existing directors shall hold office until their successors are elected and

qualified as in such cases may be by law provided. Vacancies may be
filled by a two-thirds vote of the remaining directors.

Every director of any bank or association organized under the pro-
visions of this Act must own in his own right, free of any lien or in-
cumberance at least ten shares of the capital stock of such bank or asso-
ciation of which he is a director, and stock certificates for not less than
ten shares shall be filed unendorsed and unassigned with the cashier
of the bank during his term as director. Any director who ceases to be
the owner of ten shares of the capital stock of such bank or association,
or who becomes in any form disqualified shall therefor vacate his place
as such director. The directors of any bank or association organized
under the provisions of this Act shall hold regular meetings at least
once each month and there shall be present a quorum as may be pre-
scribed by the by-laws of such bank or association approved by the
Auditor of Public Accounts.

Any officer, director or employee of any bank or association organ-
ized under the provisions of this Act, who shall wilfully and knowingly
subscribe to or make or cause to be made any false statement with intent
to deceive any person or persons authorized to examine into the affairs
of such bank or association, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished
by imprisonment of not less than one year or more than ten years.

§ 5. When the directors have organized, as in section 4 of this
Act, and the capital stock of'such association shall have been all fully
paid in and record of the same laid before the Auditor, he shall by
himself or some competent person of his appointment, make a thorough
examination into the affairs of such association, and if satisfied the
authorized capital has been paid in, and that the association has the full
amount dedicated to the business, including proposed surplus, if any,
and when they pay into the Auditor's office the reasonable expenses of
such examination, he shall give them a written or printed certificate
under seal authorizing them to commence the business designated in
section 1 of this Act. And said certificate and the permit issued in ac-
cordance herewith, duly certified by said Auditor, shall be filed and
recorded in the office for the recording of deeds in the county where
such bank is organized and the original or a certified copy thereof shall
be evidence in all courts of the existence and authority of said corpora-
tion to do business. Upon the recording of said certificate and permit
said bank shall be deemed fully organized and may proceed to business.

The Auditor may, in his discretion, withhold the issuing of the
said certificate, authorizing the commencement of business when he is not
satisfied as to the personal character and standing of the officers or
directors elected or appointed, in accordance with sections three and
four of this Act; or when he has reason to believe that the bank is or-
ganized for any purpose other than that contemplated by this Aqf.

§ 6. Every stockholder in any bank or banking association organ-
ized under the provisions of this Act shall be individually responsible
and liable to its creditors, over and above the amount of stock by him or
her held, to an amount equal to his or her respective shares so held, for

BANKS ANJ) BANKING. 227

all its liabilities accruing while he or she remains such stockholder. Jt
is hereby made the duty of the president and cashier, within thirty
days after organization, to file in the office of the recorder of deeds of
the county in which such bank is located, a certified list of all the origi-
nal stockholders, giving the number of shares of stock held by each, and
thereafter a certificate of all transfer of stock, not later than ten days
after such transfer. No transfer of stock shall operate as a release of
liability provided in this section.

§ 7. Any and all persons and associations organizing under the
provisions of this Act shall make to the Auditor a report according to
the form which may be prescribed by him, verified by oath or affirmation
of the president or cashier of such association, which report shall exhibit
in detail and under appropriate heads the resources and liabilities of
such bank or association at the close of business of any day he may
choose; and he shall call for such reports at least once every three
months of each year, and the- officers of said bank shall transmit the
same to the -Auditor within five days after receiving call for the same ;
and any bank failing to make and transmit such report, or to comply
with any provisions of this Act, shall be subject to a penalty of one
hundred dollars for each day after five days that such report is delayed
beyond that time. And he shall cause such report to be published at the
expense of such bank in some newspaper published in the city or town
where such bank is located; or if no newspaper is published in such
town, then in the nearest newspaper to such town. Every such quar-
terly report shall be accompanied with a fee of five dollars to defray
the expense of examining the same and preparing it for publication.

§ 8. The Auditor, as often as he shall deem necessary or proper,
and at least once in each year, shall appoint a suitable person or persons
to make an examination of the affairs of every bank established under
the provisions of this Act, which person shall not be a stockholder or
officer or employee of any bank which he may be directed to examine,
and who shall have power to make a thorough examination into all the
affairs of the bank, and in so doing to examine any of the officers or
agents or employees thereof on oath, and shall make a full and detailed
report of the condition of the bank to the Auditor; and the bank shall
not be subject to any other visitorial power than such as may be author-
ized by this Act, except such as are vested in the several courts of law
and chancery. And there shall be paid to the Auditor of Public Accounts
for each such examination, a fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) and two
cents (2c) additional for each one thousand dollars ($1,000) of the
total assets of the bank examined.

§ 9. Associations organized under this Act shall be bodies cor-
porate and politic for the period for which they may be organized, may
sue and be sued, may have a common seal which they may alter or renew
at pleasure, may own, possess and may carry as assets the real estate
necessary in which to do its banking business, and such other real estate
to which it may obtain title in the collection of its debts, but shall not
carry in its assets any real estate except its banking house for the period
of more than five years after acquiring title to the same.

228 BANKS AND BANKING.

§ 10. The total liabilities to any association, of any person or of
any corporation or firm for money borrowed, including in the liabilities
of a company or firm the liabilities of the several members thereof, shall
at no time exceed fifteen per cent of the amount of the capital stock of
such association actually paid in and unimpaired, and fifteen per cent
of its unimpaired surplus fund : Provided, however, that the total lia-
bilities of any such person, company or firm shall at no time exceed thirty
per cent of the amount of capital actually paid in : And, provided, fur-
ther, that undivided profits shall not be construed as a part of the sur-
plus. But (1) the discount of bills of exchange drawn in good faith
against actually existing values; (2) the discount of commercial or
business paper actually owned by the person negotiating the same; (3)
the purchase of or loaning money in exchange for, evidences of indebt-
edness which shall be secured by mortgage or trust deed upon productive
real estate, the value of which, exclusive of buildings, as ascertained by
the oath of two disinterested appraisers, is double the amount of the
principal debt secured, and which mortgage or trust deed is ascertained
by a guaranty policy of a title guaranty company approved by the Audi-
tor of Public Accounts, or by a registrar's certificate of title in any
county having adopted the provisions of the Land Titles Act, or by the
opinion of a reputable attorney at law to be a first lien upon the real
estate therein described; and (4) the purchase of, or loaning money in
exchange for, evidences of indebtedness secured by a written pledge
covering live stock, the president, vice president or cashier of such bank
or association certifying at the time of such purchase or loan that the
value of such live stock is double the principal debt secured, shall not be
considered as money borrowed within the meaning of this section.

In computing the total liabilities of any person, corporation or
firm for the purpose of this section, there shall not be included any lia-
bilities of such person, corporation or firm which shall be secured by
collateral approved as sufficient security therefor by the Auditor of
Public Accounts, and deposited with him, or which shall be secured by
a good and sufficient bond conditioned to indemnify and save harmless
such bank from loss or damage on account of failure to pay such loan
on maturity, filed with and approved by the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts.

And, provided, further, that if any bank or association existing
hereunder shall cause to be deposited with the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts a good and sufficient bond, or shall cause to be deposited with
him securities approved by him (such securities not being assets of said
Lank or association), the Auditor of Public Accounts may issue to such
bank or association a permit, granting permission to such bank or
association, within the period of one year from the date of said
permit, to carry, without liability against the officers and directors
of such bank or association, on account of such loans being excessive,
loans otherwise excessive under the provisions hereof, to an aggregate
amount equal to the amount of such bond, or to the value of such se-
curities as determined by the Auditor of Public Accounts. Such bond

shall run to the Auditor of Public Accounts for the use of said bank or
association, its creditors and stockholders, and shall undertake to in-
demnify and save harmless said bank or association, its stockholders
and creditors, against loss on account of loans carried under the permit
issued by the Auditor of Public Accounts in pursuance of the filing
of such bond; and such securities shall be deposited under a like con-
tract running to the Auditor of Public Accounts for the use of said
bank or association, its creditors and stockholders, undertaking that
such securities shall be held to indemnify and save harmless said bank
or association, its stockholders and creditors, against loss on account
of loans carried under the permit issued by the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts in pursuance of the deposit of said securities with the Auditor :
Provided, further, that if in the opinion of the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts such bond or such securities shall become impaired in value, the
Auditor of Public Accounts may revoke such permit unless such bank
or association shall file with the Auditor of Public Accounts such ad-
ditional bond or such additional securities as will, in the opinion of
the Auditor of Public Accounts, fully indemnify such bank or associa-
tion, its stockholders and creditors, againet loss by reason of loans made
under such permit.

And, -provided, also, that the total liabilities of any such person,
firm or corporation for money borrowed under the provisions of this
section shall not exceed twenty-five per cent of the deposits of any bank
or association, and also that such total liabilities shall at no time exceed
the amount of* the capital stock of 'such bank or association.

Every such loan made in violation of the provisions hereof shall be
due and payable according to its terms and the remedy for *the recovery
of any money loaned in violation of the provisions hereof or for the
enforcement of any agreement collateral or otherwise made in connec-
tion with any such loan shall not be held to be impaired, affected or
prohibited by reason of such violation, but such remedy shall exist not-
withstanding the same. But every director of any such association
who shall violate, or participate in, or assent to such violation, or who
shall permit any of the officers, agents or servants of the association to
violate the provisions hereof, shall be held liable in his personal and
individual capacity for all damages which the association, its share-
holders or any other person shall have sustained in consequence of such
violation. •' ^

It shall not be lawful for any bank to loan to its president, or to
any of its vice presidents or its salaried officers or employees, or to cor-
porations or firms controlled by them, or in the management of which
any of them are actively engaged, until an application for such loan
shall have been first approved, both as to security and amount, by the
board of directors.

but a bank so incorporated in a city, town or village of over ten thous-
and (10,000) inhabitants and not exceeding fifty thousand (50,000)
inhabitants, with a capital stock of not less than one hundred thous-
and dollars ($100,000), shall not accept deposits in excess of five hun-
dred thousand dollars ($500,000), so long as its capital stock is less
than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). Such bank may at any
time increase its capital stock to not less than one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000), and if the Auditor shall find the deposits in excess
of the limitation contained herein, he shall order such bank to increase
its capital stock to at least one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)
within ninety days from the elate of such order.

If any such bank shall fail to increase its capital stock within said
time, the Auditor of Public Accounts shall revoke and cancel the per-
mit and authority of such bank to carry on such banking business, and
shall file a duly certified copy of such revocation and cancellation at
the office for the recording of deeds in the county where such bank has
conducted such business, . and upon the recording of said revocation,
said bank shall cease to receive deposits and shall proceed to dispose of
its assets and wind up its affairs within one year from the date of such

ital stock of less than two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000), shall
not accept deposits in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000), so long
as its capital stock is less than two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000).

BANKS AND BANKING. 231

Such bank may at any time increase its capital stock to not less than
two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000), and if the Auditor shall find
the deposits in excess of the limitation contained herein, he shall order
such bank to increase its capital stock to at least two hundred thousand
dollars ($200,000), within ninety days from the date of such order.

If any such bank shall fail so to increase i-° capital stock within
said time, the Auditor of Public Accounts shal) * evoke and cancel the
permit and authority of such bank to carry on such banking business,
and shall file a duly certified copy of such revocation and cancellation
at the office for the recording of deeds in the county where such bank
has conducted such business, and upon the recording of said revoca-
tion, said bank shall cease to receive deposits and shall proceed to dis-
pose of its assets and wind up its affairs within one year from the date
of such revocation, and at the end of said year the authority of said
bank to conduct any business under the provisions of this Act shall cease
and determine.

Should the capital stock of any bank organized under this Act be-
come impaired, the Auditor shall give notice to the president to have the
impairment made good by assessment of the stockholders or a reduc-
tion of the capital stock of such bank, if the reduction should not bring
the capital below the provisions of this section; and if the capital stock
of said bank shall remain impaired for thirty days after notice by the
Auditor, he shall have power, and it is hereby made his duty to enter
suit against each stockholder in the name of the People of the State ol
Illinois, for the use of said bank, for his or her pro rata proportion of
said impairment, and when collected shall pay over the amount thereof
to said bank, and the judgment in such case shall be for the amount
claimed with all costs and reasonable attorney's fees, which fees shall
be fixed by the court, or, if it appears from the reports made to the Audi-
tor under this Act, or from any examination made by or on behalf of
the Auditor that the conditions of any bank organized under this Act
are such that the impairment of the capital stock cannot be made good
or that the business of any such bank is being conducted in an illegal,
fraudulent or unsafe manner, he may, in his discretion, without having
taken the steps provided in this section to make good the impaired capi-
tal stock, forthwith appoint a receiver, and require of him such bond
and security as he deems proper. Such receiver, under the direction of
the Auditor, shall take possession of the books, records and assets of
every description of such bank, collect all debts, dues and claims be-
longing to it, and, upon the order of a court of record of competent
jurisdiction, may sell or compound all bad or doubtful debts, and, on
a like order, may sell all the real and personal property of such bank,
on such terms as the court shall direct; and may, if necessary to pay
the debts of such bank, enforce the individual liability of the stockholders.

The Auditor of Public Accounts shall, upon appointing a receiver,
cause notice to be given by advertisement in such newspaper as he may
direct for three consecutive months, calling on all persons who may have

claims against such bank to present the same, and to make legal proof
thereof.

From time to time the Auditor of Public Accounts shall make a
ratable dividend of the moneys collected by such receiver on all such
claims as may have been proved to his satisfaction or adjudicated in a
court of competent jurisdiction, and, as the proceeds of the assets of such
bank are collected, shall make further dividends on all claims previously
proved or adjudicated; and the remainder of the proceeds, if any, shall
be paid over to the shareholders of such bank, or their legal representa-
tives, in proportion to the stock by them respectively held.

Whenever any such bank against which proceedings have been insti-
tuted, or for which a receiver has been appointed as aforesaid, on account
of any alleged impairment of its capital stock Or alleged conduct of its
business, in an illegal, fraudulent or unsafe manner, denies such grounds,
it may at any time within ten days, apply to the Circuit Court of Sanga-
mon County, Illinois, to enjoin further proceedings in the premises;
and such court after citing the Auditor of Public Accounts to show
cause why further proceedings should not be enjoined, and after the
decision of the court or finding of a jury that such grounds do not exist,
shall make an order enjoining the Auditor, and any receiver acting
under his direction, from all further proceedings on account of such
alleged grounds.

All expenses of any preliminary or other examinations into the
condition of any such bank shall be paid by such bank. All expenses of
any such receivership, including reasonable receiver's, solicitor's and
attorney's fees to be approved by the Auditor of Public Accounts, shall
be paid out of the assets of such bank.

No bill shall be filed or proceedings commenced in any court for
the dissolution or for the winding up of the affairs or for the appoint-
ment of a receiver for any such banking corporation^ on the grounds of
insolvency or impairment of the capital stock of such banking corpora-
tion or upon the ground that such bank is being conducted in an illegal,
fraudulent or unsafe manner, except in the name and by the authority
of the Auditor of Public Accounts, represented by the Attorney General.

At any time, whenever a majority in number and amount of the
creditors of any such bank or association, after any such receiver shall
have been appointed, shall petition the Auditor of Public Accounts for
the appointment of any person nominated by them as receiver, who is
a reputable person and elector of the county in which such bank or asso-
ciation is located, it shall be the duty of the Auditor to make such ap-
pointment, and all the rights and duties of his predecessor shall at once
devolve upon such appointee.

§ 12. Whenever the board of directors, managers or trustees of
any corporation having any banking powers existing by virtue of any
general or special law of this State, or any corporation with banking
powers hereafter organized under the provisions of this Act, may desire
to change the name, to change the place of business, to increase or de-
crease the capital stock, to extend the duration of its charter, to increase

or decrease the number of directors, managers or trustees, or to consoli-
date such corporation with any other corporation having banking powers
which may hereafter exist, they may call a special meeting of the stock-
holders of such corporation for the purpose of submitting to a vote of
such stockholders the question of such change of name, change of place
of business, increase or decrease of number of directors, managers or
trustees, increase or decrease of capital stock, extension of duration of
its charter, or consolidation with some other corporation, as the case
may be : Provided, that in changing the name of any corporation under
the provisions hereof, no name shall be assumed or adopted by any cor-
poration organized under the laws of this State without the consent of
such other corporation, and that in no case shall the capital stock be
diminished to the prejudice of the creditors of such corporation, or the
number of directors, managers or trustees be reduced to less than three
or increased to more than twenty-one.

Such special meeting shall be called by delivering personally, or by
depositing in the postofhee at least thirty days before the time fixed for
such meeting, a notice properly addressed to each stockholder, signed by
a majority of said directors, managers or trustees, stating the time, place
and object of such meeting. A general notice of the time, place and ob-
ject of such meeting shall also be published for three successive weeks
in some newspaper printed in or nearest to the county in which the prin-
cipal business office of said corporation is located. At any such meeting
stockholders may vote in person or by proxy, each stockholder being
entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by him, and votes repre-
senting two-thirds of all the stock of the corporation shall be necessary
for the adoption of the proposed change of name, place of business, num-
ber of directors, managers or trustees, amount of capital stock, extension
of duration of charter or consolidation with some other company. At
any regular meeting, or at the time and place specified in said notice
of a special meeting called for that purpose, said propositions, or any of
them, may be submited to a vote, and if it shall appear that two-thirds of
all votes represented by the whole stock of such corporation are in
favor of the propositions or any of them, so submitted, a certificate there-
of, verified by the affidavit of the president, and under seal of the cor-
poration, shall be filed in the office of the Auditor, and a like certificate
filed for record in the office of the recorder of deeds of the county where
the principal business office of such corporation is located ; and upon the
filing of such certificate the changes proposed and voted for at such meet-
ing, as to name, place of business, increase or decrease of capital stock,
or number of directors, managers or trustees, extension of duration of
charter, or consolidation with some other company, shall be and is hereby
declared accomplished in accordance with the said vote of the stock-
holders : And, provided, further, that any corporation with banking
powers availing himself of or accepting the benefits of, or formed under,
this Act, and all corporations with banking powers existing by virtue of
any special charter or general law of this State, shall be subject to the
provisions and requirements of this Act in every particular, as if organ-
ized under this Act.

234 BANKS AND BANKING.

Such corporation shall, upon the filing of said certificate;, cause to
be published in some newspaper in or nearest the county in which their

three successive weeks.

Such change of name, place of business, increase or decrease of capi-
tal stock, increase or decrease of number of directors, managers or trus-
tees, extension of duration of charter, or consolidation of one corporation
with another, shall not affect suits pending in which such corporations
or corporation shall be parties; nor shall such changes affect causes of
action, nor the rights .of persons in any particular ; nor shall suits brought
against such corporation by its former name be abated for that cause.

§ 13. All corporations with banking powers consolidating as pro-
vided in section 12, shall forward to the Auditor the complete proceeding
of their consolidation, a list of the stockholders, and such other records
as the Auditor may require, when the Auditor shall proceed as provided
in section 5 of this Act in regard to the organization of new banks, and
until be shall so proceed, and such consolidated corporation shall com-
ply with all the provisions of such section, it cannot begin business.

§ 14. In all cases where any corporation having any banking
powers, existing under and by virtue of any general or special laws of
this State, has, prior to the passage of this Act, changed its name or its
place of business, or increased or decreased its capital stock or the num-
ber of its directors, managers or trustees, in the manner provided by an
Act of the General Asembly of this State, entitled "An Act to provide
for changing the names, for changing the places of business, for increas-

general election for aldermen for a two or four year term, as the case
may be, shall be held at the time when the mayor is to be elected. If
this Act becomes operative in time to govern the general election of
aldermen to be held in an even numbered year other than that which
immediately precedes the year in which a mayor is to be elected,
aldermen at such election shall be elected for a one year term, alder-
men at the next general election for aldermen to be elected for a. two
year term, if a two year term shall have been adopted by a popular
vote under the terms of this Act ; if under the terms of this Act a
four year term for aldermen shall have been adopted then aldermen
shall be elected for a three year term at the election of such even- num-
bered year. New elections for a two or four year term, as the case may
be, shall then take place at the time when the mayor is to be next
elected.

(d) All elections for aldermen shall be in accordance with the
provisions of law in force and operative in the City of Chicago for
such elections at the time that such elections are held, and vacancies
occuring in such office shall be filled in the manner prescribed by law
for filling vacancies. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the

signatures of such owners, the location of the property and the amount
of frontage owned by each stated thereon after each name, and the same
may be filed with the commission, board or committee designated as the
proper authority to conduct such proceedings. Upon the filing of such
objection, if it shall appear that the owners of such a majority according
to frontage are opposed to the formation or creation of such district as
is proposed, or to the regulations or restrictions proposed for any such
district, all proceedings for same shall be discontinued, and no ordinance
for the creation or formation of such district in such territory shall be
passed, and no new proceedings for the formation or creation of such
district within the said territory shall be begun within one year after
the filing of such objection : Provided, that if said objection shall state
that it is directed only against certain of the proposed regulations and
restrictions, specifying same, new proceedings as herein provided for
may be begun at any time for the purpose of creating such district after
changing or modifying the proposed regulations and restrictions.

§ 4. The regulations imposed and the districts created under the
authority of this Act may be amended, supplemented or changed from
time to time by ordinance after the ordinance establishing same has gone
into effect, but no such change shall be made without notice and public
hearing in the same manner as when such district is first created, and
in case of written protest against a proposed amendment, supplement or
change, signed by the owners of twenty per cent of the frontage proposed
to be altered, or by the owners of twenty per cent of the frontage im-
mediately adjoining or across an alley therefrom, or by the owners of
twenty per cent of the frontage directly opposite the frontage proposed

designated, such amendment shall not be passed except by the favorable
vote of two-thirds of the members of the city council in cities, or of the
members of the board of trustees in villages : Provided, that it shall
always be within the power of the owners of a majority of the lands
and lots according to frontage within a proposed addition to such dis-
trict to prevent such addition by filing objection thereto as herein
provided.

§ 5. Upon the passage of an ordinance under the authority of this
Act a certified copy of the same, together with a plat of the territory
affected certified to by the mayor of the city or president of the board
of trustees of the village, as the case may be, shall be filed for record in
the office of the recorder of deeds of the county in which the said terri-

An Act in relation to mutual building, loan and homestead associations.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly: Definition.] Every associa-
tion heretofore or hereafter organized under any law providing for
the incorporation of building, loan and homestead associations, and
every association heretofore or hereafter organized or incorporated
under any law for the purpose of assisting its members to accumulate
and invest their savings, by accumulating a fund from periodical pay-
ments on its stock, or otherwise, to be loaned among its members, shall
be known in this Act as a mutual building, loan or homestead associa-
tion.

Associations organized under this Act may operate under either
the serial, or the permanent plan, or both, as their by-laws may pro-
vide. Associations issuing shares at fixed times, or in series, shall be
known as serial associations, and associations issuing shares with a
minimum payment, or when required, or without fixed dates of issue,
shall be known as permanent plan associations. Such associations organ-
ized under the laws of this State shall be known as "domestic" associa-
tions, and those organized under the laws of any other state, territory
or nation, shall be known as "foreign" associations.

§ 2. License, how obtained.] Whenever any number of per-
sons, not less than ten (10), may desire to become incorporated as a
mutual building, loan or homestead association, for the purpose of ac-
cumulating funds to be loaned to the members thereof only, they shall

CORPORATIONS. 209

acknowledged before some officer in the manner provided for the ac-
knowledgment of deeds. Such statement shall set forth the name of
the proposed association, the capital stock to be accumulated, its loca-
tion and the duration of the association, which statement shall be filed
in the office of the Auditor of Public Accounts. The Auditor of Pub-
lic Accounts shall thereupon issue to such persons a license as com-
missioners to open books for subscription to the shares of stock of said
association at such time and place as they may determine : Provided,
however, that the Auditor of Public Accounts may withhold the issuing
of a license to commissioners t.o open books fgr subscription to the
shares of stock of said association if he is, not satisfied as to the personal
character and standing of the officers or directors to be elected, or if
the proposed location would not warrant the issuance of a charter, but
no charter shall be issued to two associations having the same or similar
names.

§ 3. Must organize and do business under the act — pen-
alty.] It shall be unlawful for any company, association, corporation,
organization or co-partnership, assuming to be a company or corpora-
tion, to transact business in this State for the purpose of receiving or
accepting moneys from their subscribers, contributors or members, in
installments for the purpose of creating a fund with which to make
loans to members only, unless such company, association, corporation,
organization or co-partnership is organized and doing business under
this Act, and whoever violates any provision of this section shall be
punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000).
The same may be recovered in any court having competent jurisdiction
in the name of the People of the State of Illinois on the relation of
the Auditor of Public Accounts for the benefit of the county wherein
such person or persons, association or corporation is located.

§ 4. Meeting to organize.] That whenever two hundred shares
or more of the capital stock shall be subscribed in cities, towns or vil-
lages of fewer than five thousand inhabitants; and five hundred shares
or more in cities, towns or villages of five thousand inhabitants or more,
the commissioners shall convene a meeting of the subscribers for the
purpose of electing at least five subscribers as directors, adopting by-
laws and the transaction of such other business as shall come before
them. Notice thereof shall be given by depositing in the post office,
properly addressed to each subscriber, at least ten days before the time
fixed, a written or printed notice, stating the object, time and place
of such meeting. Directors of such corporations organized under this
Act shall be elected, classified and hold their office for such period of
time as is provided by general law governing the election and classi-
fication of directors, trustees or managers of corporations.

§ 5. Organization completed.] The commissioners shall make

mitted to the Auditor of Public Accounts and approved by the Attorney

ercised-by a board of directors of not less than five (5) in number, all
of whom shall be bona fide shareholders in such association and resi-
dents of the State of Illinois. The officers shall consist of a president,
vice-president, secretary, treasurer and such other officers as the by-

fidelity insurance company, in such sum as the directors shall
require or approve. Such bonds shall be executed annually
and shall be filed with the Auditor of Public Accounts of this
State within ten days next after the approval thereof by the board of
directors, and the fee for filing same shall be one dollar ($1.00). Such
bond shall be sufficient in amount to protect the association from loss
by reason of malfeasance in office or failure to faithfully perform and
discharge the duties of his position. No officer or employe who is
required to give bond, shall be deemed qualified to enter upon the dis-
charge of his duties until his bond shall have been approved by a
majority of the board of directors by a written endorsement thereon
and filed with the Auditor of Public Accounts as herein required. Any
officer or employe who shall neglect or refuse to file such bond at the
time and manner as herein provided, shall be subject to a fine of- not
less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) nor more than two hundred dol-
lars ($200.00) and his office or position shall become vacant and shall

one hundred dollars ($100.00) each. The shares shall be deemed to
be personal property in the hands ©f the members, transferable upon
the books of the association in the manner provided in the by-laws.
Each shareholder shall pay to said association as a contribution to
the capital thereof, the sum fixed a's dues for -each and every share
held by him, until each share shall reach the ultimate value thereof.
The shares may be issued as required or at certain periods designated
in the by-laws, or in series, and subdivided into classes, each series or
class providing a different payment of dues, payable in such amount
or amounts, and at such time or times as the by-laws shall provide.
Any such association, if the by-laws shall so provide, may issue shares
with a minimum payment, or with a single payment and upon such
single payment shares it shall be lawful for such association to make
agreements with the holders thereof to waive participation in the gen-
eral profits of the association in consideration of a fixed annual per
cent of profit or interest to be paid, which shall in no event exceed
the net earnings of the association. New shares may be issued in lieu
of any shares withdrawn, redeemed, cancelled or matured, providing
the ultimate value of the total number of shares outstanding at any
one time shall not exceed the authorized capital stock of the associa-
tion. All shares heretofore issued by any association upon which in-
stallments have been paid in advance, together with the interest al-
lowed, or paid thereon, are herebv legalized and validated. Every
share shall be subject to a lien for the pa}anent of unpaid installments

the association in such bank or trust company as may be designated as
depository by the treasurer and approved by the board of directors.

§ 11. Power to borrow money.] The directors shall have
power to borrow money for such temporary uses and purposes of the
association as the exigencies of the business may demand and as are
not inconsistent with the objects of .the association. To secure such
loans, the directors may cause the obligation or obligations of the as-
sociation to be issued therefor, bearing interest at not to exceed the
then legal contract rate. No such loan or loans shall have a longer
duration than one year nor shall the aggregate amount of such out-
standing indebtedness at any one time exceed ten per centum of the
assets of the association. Before any money shall be borrowed, the
board of directors shall first, by a majority vote, pass and record a
resolution to that effect.

§ 12. Matured shares.] Whenever any shares reach the value
of one hundred dollars ($100.00) each, either by the payment of dues,
the addition of regular dividends, or the addition of interest allowed,
they shall be deemed to be matured, and all payments of dues thereon
shall cease, and the owner thereof or his assignee, shall be paid out
of funds of the association the matured value thereof, in the manner
provided for voluntary withdrawals. With the consent of the directors,
there may be issued in lieu of such shares matured stock certificates
upon which the interest to be paid shall not exceed the actual net
earnings of the association, payable at such times and in such manner
as may be expressed in said certificate. Provided, that at no time shall
the aggregate amount of such shares outstanding exceed twenty per
centum of the assets of the association.

§ 13. Withdrawals, voluntary.] If the bj^-laws shall so pro-
vide, any member desiring to withdraw all or any part of the credit
on his shares from any association doing business in this State, may
be required to make a written application which shall be received and.
filed in numerical order, and payments upon the same shall be made
in the order in which they are filed. Upon withdrawal such member
shall be entitled to receive the full amount of dues paid in and such
interest thereon as fixed in the by-laws, or such proportion of the profits
apportioned thereto as the board of directors may, from time to time,
by resolution determine, less such charges of the character enumerated
in this Act as may be due thereon; provided, that the amount of
such interest or profits paid on withdrawals shall not exceed the actua]
earnings of the shares sought to be withdrawn; provided, further.
that at no time shall more than one-half of the funds in the treasury
of the association be applicable to the demand of withdrawing members
or the payment of matured shares, without the consent of the board
of directors; provided, further, that any member having pledged his
or her shares as security for an advance, without other security, may
withdraw the same and receive the evidence of indebtedness given for

CORPORATIONS. 303

such advance and such balance in cash, if any, as may be to the credit
of such shares, but such withdrawal shall be subject to the same regula-
tions in all other respects as in the case of shares not pledged. No
such association" shall be permitted to carry for any member any de-
mand, commercial or checking account. Nothing in this section shall
prevent members from withdrawing funds by non-negotiable orders.

§ 14. Withdrawals, involuntary.] The directors may, in
their discretoin, under the rules made by them in conformity with the
by-laws, retire the unpledged shares, in the order of the issue of such
shares, by enforcing withdrawals of the same, and the owners shall
be paid the full value of their shares, as determined at the last pre-
ceding distribution of profits, together with all dues paid since such
distribution, less any unpaid fines; provided, that all shares which
have reached matured value and all single payment shares, that may
be outstanding, shall be first retired under the provisions of this Act.

§ 15. Advance on shares — balance — settlements.] Any
member who shall have obtained a loan or advance on his shares, who
shall have given real estate as security, may at any time upon giving
thirty days' previous notice in writing, repay the same. On settle-
ment such member shall be charged with the full amount of such loan
or advance, together with any and all arrearages due thereon, or on the
shares pledged or appertaining to the security given, and shall there-
upon be allowed as a credit the withdrawal value of the shares pledged
as security, together with such other credits as may be returnable on
account thereof, and the balance shall be received by the association
in full settlement and discharge of such loan or advance; provided,
that all settlements made in periods intervening between stated monthly
meetings of the directors shall be made as of the date of the stated
monthly meeting next succeeding such settlement; provided, also, that
any member electing to repay his loan or advance may, in lieu of re-
paying the same in full, elect to repay the same in part in even hun-
dreds of dollars in cash, or he may elect to have applied as a credit
on the amount of such loan or advance the then withdrawal value of
the shares upon which such loan or advance may then be predicated;
and thereupon the said shares shall be and become cancelled in the
proportion of one share for each one hundred dollars so applied as a
credit, and the remaining uncancelled shares and the remaining credit
shall be transferred to and held as advanced or oledged shares of the
then current series or date, and the obligation evidencing such loan
or advance, and the mortgage or other security given to secure the
same, shall not in any wise be prejudiced by any such transfer, whether
such transfer shall have been provided for in the obligation evidencing
such loan or advance and the mortgage securing the same or not; and
after the application of every such credit the amount of such loan or
advance shall forthwith be and become reduced in accordance with the
amount so applied as a credit, and such advanced shareholder shall not
thereafter be held liable for any greater amount than shall be remain-
ing due after the application of such credits, except for arrearages and
penalties occasioned by the shareholder's own default.

payments on such shares.

persons and the survivor; and in the event of the death of either, the
association shall be liable thereon only to the survivor, and while both
are living payment to either shall discharge the liability to both. The
joint ownership of shares shall not confer the right to vote to a greater
extent than if said shares were held by an individual.

§ 19. Loans.] The board of directors shall hold such stated
meetings not less frequently than once a month, as may be provided
by the by-laws. At which meeting the money in the treasury shall be
offered for loan in open meeting, and the shareholders who shall bid
the highest premium for the preference or priority of loan, shall be
entitled to receive a loan of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each
share of stock held by said shareholders; the said premium bid may
be deducted from the loan in one amount, or may be paid in such
proportionate amounts or installments, and at such times during the
existence of the shares of stock borrowed upon, as may be designated
by the by-laws of the respective associations; provided, that any such
association may, by its by-laws, dispense with the offering of its money
for bids in open meeting, and in lieu thereof loan. its money at a rate
of interest, or interest and premium, to be fixed by the directors, de-
ciding the preference or priority of the right to a loan by the priority
of the approved applications therefor of its shareholders; and pro-
vided, that no loan shall be made by said association except to its own
members, nor in any sum in excess of the amount of shares held by
such members borrowing, but such shareholders may borrow such frac-
tional part of one hundred dollars ($100.00) as the by-laws may pro-
vide. Good and ample real estate security unencumbered, except by
prior loans of such association, shall be given by the borrower to secure

require an examination of title and written opinion thereof; and may, in
its discretion, require that such real estate security shall be accompanied
by an abstract of the title of the property in question, or a guaranteed
title thereof, or a certificate under the Torrens system-; provided, how-
ever, that the shares of such associations may be received as security,
to the amount of the withdrawal value of such shares; and, provided,
that the board of directors may by a two-thirds vote of all its mem-
bers temporarily invest the funds of the association in the treasury in
excess of the demands of the shareholders in other loans and securities,
but such investments shall not exceed twenty per centum of the assets
of the association. No mortgage given to secure a loan from any mutual
building, loan or homestead association shall be taken in the name of
a trustee.

Whenever an insurance company shall, under the terms of its
policy, pay to an association organized under this law, any sum for
loss or damage by fire or wind storm to property mortgaged to such
association, and shall claim that as to the owner of the premises in-
sured no liability existed, said insurance company shall to the extent
of such payment be legally subrogated to all the rights of the associa-
tion receiving the same, or if such insurance company shall pay to
such association the net amount due upon the indebtedness secured
by such mortgage after deducting all proper credits, said association
may thereupon assign and transfer to such insurance company its mort-
gage and the obligation or note secured thereby, and thereupon such
insurance company shall be subrogated to the rights of said association.

§ 20. Life insurance.] The board of directors may require as
additional security for any loan, insurance on the life of the borrower
or other person in an amount and in some company to be designated
by them, or the borrower may do so voluntarily with the consent of
the association. The policy of insurance shall be assigned to the associa-
tion as collateral security for the loan, and in case of death shall be ap-
plied to its payment. The costs of such insurance may be paid by the
association from time to time when due, and deducted from the amount
standing to the credit of the borrower on his stock, or from his sub-
sequent payments, the same as other assessments. Other arrangements
may be made for the payment of such insurance by the consent of all
parties.

§ 21. Failure to give security for loan.] In case the bor-
rower shall neglect to offer security, or shall offer security, that is not
approved by the board of directors, by such time as the by-laws may
prescribe, he or she may be charged with one month's interest, together
with any expenses incurred, and the money may be resold at the next
stated meeting. In case of nonpayment of installments or interest and
fines by borrowing stockholders for the space of six months, payment
of principal and interest and fines without deducting the premium paid
or the interest thereon, may be enforced by proceedings against their
securities according to law, upon the order of the board of directors.

advance, there shall be refunded to the borrower one eighth of the
premium paid for every year of the said eight years then unexpired.

§ 23. PREMIUMS, EINES, ETC., NOT USURIOUS — STOCK AND NOTES

not to be taxed.] Corporations organized under this Act being of
the nature of co-operative associations, therefore no interest, premiums,
fines, nor interest on such premiums that may accrue to said corpora-
tion, according to the provisions of this Act, shall be deemed usurious
and the same may be collected as other debts of like amount may be col-
lected by laws in this State, and all money paid to such corporation
being at once loaned out and placed into taxable property, and the
shares of stock and notes provided for in this Act being simply evidence
as to where such money has been placed, therefore such stock and notes
shall not be subject to taxation.

§ 24. May purchase, etc., real estate — when.] Any mutual
building, loan or homestead association, incorporated by and under
this Act, is hereby arthorized and empowered to purchase at any sheriff's

and the real estate so purchased, to sell, convey, lease, mortgage or ex-
change for other real estate and to dispose of such real estate so ac-
quired at pleasure to any person or persons whomsoever.

Any such association shall have power to acquire and hold real
estate whereon there is or may be erected a building or buildings suit-
able for the convenient transaction of its business, from portions of
which, not required for its own use, a revenue may be derived; pro-
vided that the amount so invested shall not exceed five (5) per centum
of its assets.

sociations of this State may consolidate into a single corporation by a

different associations at any regular or special meeting of the stock-
holders of each association called for that purpose, of which at least
thirty days .notice shall have been given to each member, the consolida-
tion to be upon such terms as shall be mutually agreed upon by the
directors of such associations, and such terms shall be plainly set forth
to each member in the notice of such meeting. Any member not con-
senting to such consolidation shall be entitled to receive the withdrawal
value of his shares in the manner provided for voluntary withdrawals,
or, if he is a borrower, to have such value applied in part settlement of
his loan.

§ 26. Existence may be extended.] Any mutual building,
loan or homestead association incorporated under this Act, or any prior
Act, may extend the duration of time for which such association was
organized, increase or decrease its capital stock, or change its name,
or the number of directors, by a vote of the majority of the capital
stock of such association at any meeting of the stockholders of such
association; thereupon the board of directors shall transmit a copy

CORPORATIONS. 307

of the proceedings of such meeting, duly attested, to the Auditor of
Public Accounts, who shall issue his certificate as provided in section
5 of this Act, certifying to the extension of time of duration of such
association, and the same shall be recorded as provided in said section
5 of this Act. And any association incorporated under any prior Act, and

be vested with all the powers given in this Act, the same as if such
association had been originally incorporated under it.

§ 71. All rights of creditors and all liens upon the property of
either of such merging or consolidating corporations shall be pre-
served unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the respective
corporations shall henceforth attach to such single corporation and may
be enforced against it to the same extent as if such debts, liabilities
and duties had been incurred or contracted by it. Any action or
proceeding pending by or against one of the corporations merged or
consolidated may be prosecuted to judgment, as if such merger or con-
solidation had not taken place, or the merged or consolidated corpora-
tion may be substituted in its place.

§ 72. When two or more corporations are merged or consolidated,
the single corporation shall have power and*authority to issue bonds
or other obligations, negotiable or otherwise, and with or without cou-
pons or interest certificates attached, to an amount sufficient, with
its capital stock, to provide for all the payments it will be required to
make, or obligations it will be required to assume, in order either tc
effect such merger or consolidation, or thereafter to conduct its busi-
ness. To secure the payments of such bonds and obligations, it shall
be lawful to mortgage its corporate franchises, rights, privileges and
property, real, personal, and mixed, and it shall be lawful to issue
shares of stock to such an amount as may be necessary to the stock-
holders of such constituent corporations in exchange or payment for
the original shares, in the manner and on the terms specified in the
resolutions of merger or consolidation.

§ 73. Any stockholder objecting to any action of the corporation
in leasing, exchanging or selling all of its corporate assets, or object-

poration acquiring such assets by lease, exchange, sale, merger or con-
solidation being hereinafter referred to as the "acquiring corporation"),
shall be obligated to sell and transfer to the acquiring corporation
and the acquiring corporation shall become and be obligated to pur-
chase such share or shares, together with all rights and interests there-

by represented, including all cash or securities or other benefits accruing
to such share or shares, from or by reason of the sale, lease, merger
or consolidation at a price equal to the fair value of such share or
shares with interest on such fair value at the rate of five per cent per
annum from the date such sale, lease, merger, or consolidation was
consummated. If such fair value and interest thereon is not paid to
such objecting stockholder by such acquiring corporation within thirty
days after such sale, lease, merger or consolidation is consummated,
then such objecting stockholder may, within sixty days after the con-
summation of such sale, lease, merger or consolidation, file a petition in
the Circuit Court of the county in which the principal office of the ac-
quiring corporation is located, asking for a finding and determination
of the fair value of such shares of stock. Upon the filing of such peti-
tion the practice and procedure thereon shall be the same, so far as
practicable, as that under the eminent domain laws of this State, but
the court shall have full power and authority to do all things and enter
all such orders as it may deem equitable and just for the purpose of
preserving and protecting the rights of the parties to the proceeding
during the pendency thereof. Such fair values shall be ascertained
and determined as of the date of the consummation of such sale, lease,
merger or consolidation, and without regard to any depreciation or
appreciation because of or on account of such sale, lease, merger or
consolidation.

The court shall enter judgment against such acquiring corpora-
tion for the amount of such fair value and interest thereon, which
judgment may be collected as other judgments at law. Upon the
payment of such judgment such stockholder shall cease to have any
interest in such stock or in the property of the corporation. Such
stock may be held and disposed of by the corporation as it shall see fit.

Unless such objecting stockholder shall file such petition within
the time herein limited, such stockholder and those claiming under him
shall be conclusively presumed to have authorized, approved and rati-
fied such sale, lease, merger or consolidation. If at the expiration of
thirty days from the time of the consummation of such sale, lease,
merger or consolidation, the person in whose name such share or shares
shall stand, shall not be living, or shall be under disability, his executor,
administrator, guardian, or conservator, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to file such petition within ninety days after the consummation
of such sale, lease, merger or consolidation.

represented by business transacted and property located in this State,
the sum of the business of any foreign or domestic corporation trans-
acted in this State and the total tangible property of such corporation
located within this State shall be divided by the sum of the total busi-
ness of the corporation, and the total tangible property of the corpora-
tion wherever situated.

its post office address as shown by the records in the office of the Sec-

tion shall not relieve a corporation of the obligation to pay the annual
franchise taxes nor shall it invalidate the assessment of the tax.

§ 113. It shall be the duty of the officer making the assessment
to collect the same.

§ 114. If the franchise tax assessed in accordance with the pro-
visions of this Act shall not be paid on or before the thirty-first day

and official seal, directed to the sheriff of any county in the State, com-
manding him to collect and return such franchise tax and penalties.
It shall be the duty of the sheriff receiving such warrant to levy upon
and sell the personal property of such corporation to satisfy such fran-
chise tax and penalties, together with the legal costs and charges of

to the same fees for the execution of the warrant, to be collected in the

debt, in the name of the People of the State of Illinois, in any court

tax, shall fail, neglect or refuse to file its annual report, as required

which such franchise tax becomes due and payable, the Attorney Gen-
eral shall file an information in equity against such corporation, either
in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County or in the Circuit Court of

CORPORATIONS. 343

such other county in the State as to the Attorney General may seem
best for the dissolution of a domestic corporation for abandonment and
non-user of its charter.

§ 119. Upon the filing of such information in equity summons
shall issue, directed to the sheriff of the county in which the principal
office in this State, as shown by the records in the office of the Secre-
tary of State is located, which summons shall be served by delivering
a copy thereof to the president of such corporation, if he can be found
in such county, and, if he cannot be found therein, then by leaving
such copy with the clerk, secretary, superintendent, or other agent of
such corporation.

§ 120. In case the sheriff shall make return thereon that such
president, clerk, secretary, superintendent or other agent of such cor-
poration cannot be found in his county, then the Attorney General
shall cause publication to be made in some newspaper printed in the
county where the principal office in this State of such corporation is
located (as shown by the records in the office of the Secretary of
State), containing a notice of the pendency of such suit, the names
of the parties thereto, the title of the court and the time and place
of the return of the summons. The Attorney General shall incorporate
in one publication and notice the names of all corporations against
which information in equity are filed to the same term of court. The
Attorney General shall also, within ten days of the first publication
of such notice, send a copv thereof by mail, addressed to the corpora-
tion at its principal office in this State, as shown by the records in the
office of the Secretary of State, and his certificate to that effect shall
be evidence.

§ 121. The notice herein required may begin at any time after
the return of the sheriff is filed, and shall be published at least once
each week for three successive weeks and no default shall be taken
against any defendant not served with summons, and not appearing,
until thirty days shall have intervened between the date of the first
publication and the first day of the term of court at which such default
or proceeding is proposed to be taken.

§ 122. The practice shall be the same as in cases in chancery,
except that the Attorney General shall not be required to file a copy
of his pleadings. Suits instituted hereunder shall be placed on a sep-
arate docket and shall stand for hearing upon the call of such docket
at such times during any term of such court as the judge thereof shall
order.

§ 123. In case the court shall decree a dissolution of such corpora-
tion, or shall enjoin a foreign corporation from further transacting
business in this State, the clerk shall certify such fact to the Secretary
of State. Upon the filing of such certificate such dissolution shall be
complete.

§ 124. The cost of the publication necessary to procure service of
notice on a corporation shall, unless the decree is against the defendant
and unless such cost can be collected of the defendant, be paid by
the State. Such costs of publication shall be as follows and shall

publisher that such publication was made:

Twenty-five cents for each corporation named in the notice, and,
in addition thereto, ten dollars.

No other costs or charges shall be allowed or paid for any other
service performed with relation to such information in equity.

§ 125. The filing of such report, and the payment of such fran-
chise tax and penalties and legal costs of suit, during the pendency of
such information in equity, shall abate such suit.

§ 126. On the fifteenth day of September of each year, the Secre-
tary of State shall certify to the Attorney General the names of all
corporations that have neglected to pay the franchise taxes or have
neglected to file the annual report in accordance with the provisions of
this Act, together with all facts in relation thereto and it is hereby
made the duty of the Attorney General at the earliest practicable mo-
ment, in the name of the People of the State of Illinois to institute
proceedings for the dissolution of such corporation for failure to pay
such fees, or for the abandonment and non-user of charter. The cer-
tificate from the Secretary of State to the Attorney General shall be
taken and received in all courts and places as prima facie evidence of
the facts therein stated. At any time prior to the institution of suit
and upon filing an affidavit that the corporation has been continuously
in active business and filing of a report in the form of an annual re-
port, required by this Act, and upon the payment of all fees, taxes and
penalties due, the Secretary of State shall certify to the Attorney
General of the filing of the report and the pa^rment of the fees, taxes
and penalties due.

§ 127. No corporation shall be deemed to be organized or licensed
to transact business in this State, its capital stock increased, its charter

other evidences of indebtedness upon which fees are required by law

and penalties thereon are fully paid.

ject to a franchise tax, annual franchise taxes as follows :

jurisdiction within this State, in any county in which the plaintiff or
complainant resides, or in which the cause of action may have arisen,
by the service of process upon the Secretary of State, and therein agree-
ing and stipulating that such service of process upon the Secretary of

Secretary of State shall, in the judgment of the Secretary of State, in
any material part thereof be inadequate, insufficient or not in compli-
ance with this Act, or in case the plan or scheme disclosed by such

tary of State, work or tend to work a fraud upon the people, or if it
shall be made to appear to the Secretary of State, by complaint or
otherwise, that the statements and documents filed with respect to any
securities are false in any material particular, or if it snail be made to
appear to the Secretary of State that conditions with respect to such
securities have so changed that the further sale or offering for sale

of the terms and provisions of this Act, are not complied with, the
Secretary of State shall, in the name of the people of the State of
Illinois, through the Attorney General, apply for an injunction in any

said, return it to the clerk of said board, with his objections thereto
in writing. Such veto by the president may extend to any one or more
items or appropriations contained in any resolution making an appro-
priation, or to the entire resolution; and in case the veto only extends
to a part of such resolution making an appropriation, the residue thereof
not embraced within the veto shall take effect and be in force from the
time of the receipt by said clerk of such veto of such part. Upon the
return of any such resolution or motion by the president, with his objec-
tions thereto as aforesaid, the vote by which the same was passed shall
be reconsidered by the board of commissioners as to so much thereof as
may have been vetoed; and if, after such reconsideration, four-fifths of
all the members elected to the board shall agree to pass the same by
yeas and nays, to be entered on the journal, the same shall take effect,

committee thereof, or of any other person or persons in violation of this
section, shall be null and void. No money shall be appropriated or

previous assessment. Said appropriation bill shall specify the several
objects and purposes. for which such appropriations are made, and the
amount appropriated for each object or purpose. If the Legislature
shall by law provide, or shall at any time appear to have by law pro-
vided, for the publication of the assessment of real or personal property,
or both, to be paid for out of the county treasury, then said board of
commissioners shall in each year, while such publication is required,
make due provision for the cost thereof by sufficient appropriation in
such resolution, which said appropriation shall take precedence over all
the other appropriations contained in such resolution, excepting the
provision for principal and interest of county indebtedness, the ordinary,
current salaries of county officials and employees, the maintenance of
county property and institutions (including courts and juries) dieting
occupants of the jails, prisons, hospitals and industrial schools, and

precedence of any appropriation for contingent fund or building fund;
and if the tax actually collected in any such year shall be less than the
total amount of the appropriations contained in said resolution, the
items of appropriation following in such resolution after such appro-
priation for publishing assessments, in the order herein directed, shall
be first abated, before the appropriation for such publication of tax
assessments shall be reduced. The vote of said board of commissioners

or passage of the next succeeding annual appropriation bill, and the said
board of commissioners shall have no power, either directly or indirectly,
to make any contract or to do any act which shall add to the county
expenditure or liabilities in any year, anything or sum over and above
the amount provided for in the annual appropriation bill for that fiscal
year. No contract shall hereafter be made, or expense or liability
incurred by the said board of commissioners, or any member or com-
mittee thereof, or by any person or persons, for or in its behalf, not-
withstanding the expenditure may have been ordered by the said board
of commissioners, unless an appropriation therefor shall have been
previously made by said board in manner aforesaid : Provided, how-
ever, that nothing herein contained shall prevent the board of commis-
sioners, by a concurring vote of four-fifths of all the commissioners
(said votes to be taken by yeas and nays and entered upon the journal),
from making any expenditure or incurring any liability rendered neces-
sary, by any unforseen casualty by fire, flood or otherwise, happening
after the annual appropriation bill shall have been passe'd or adopted.

follows :

§ 61. The said commissioners shall severally, before they enter
upon the discharge of their duties, take the oath of office prescribed
by the constitution, and they shall be known as the board of commis-
sioners of Cook County, and as such board shall possess the powers,
perform the duties, and be subject to the rules, regulations and re-
strictions hereinafter specified, that is to say:

First — Said board of commissioners shall hold regular meetings on
the first Monday of December, January, February, March, June and
September in each year. It shall by [be] the duty of the president of the
board of commissioners to call special meetings of the board whenever,
in his opinion, the same may be necessary; and he shall preside at all
meetings of said board, and generally perform the duties usually per-
formed by a presiding officer : Provided, that in the absence of the
president, or his inability to act, a president pro tempore may be elected,
who shall, during such absence or inability, possess all the powers and
perform all the duties by law vested in and required of the president.

Second — The president of the board of commissioners shall have
the same privilege of voting as any other commissioner; but he shall
not have a casting vote upon any question upon which he has voted as a
commissioner.

Third — All resolutions or motions whereby any money shall be
appropriated, or by virtue of which any contract shall be made, or any
act done which may, directly or indirectly, or in any manner whatever,
create any pecuniary liability on the part of said county, shall be sub-
mitted to said board of commissioners in writing, or reduced to writing,
before any vote shall be taken thereon ; and if adopted by the board,

proved in writing by the president of said board, except as hereinafter
provided. It shall be the duty of the clerk of said board to deliver to
the president thereof, upon his request, the original (or a copy) of each
resolution or motion, so passed or adopted by said board as aforesaid,
within one day after its passage or adoption; and in case the president
approves thereof, he shall sign the same, and it shall thereupon be in
full force and effect. In case the president shall not approve any such
resolution or motion, he shall, within five days after the receipt of the
same as aforesaid, return it to the clerk of said board, with his ob-
jections thereto in writing. Such veto by the president may extend to
any one or more items or appropriations contained in any resolution
making an appropriation, or to the entire resolution; and in case the
veto only extends to a part of such resolution making an appropriation,
the residue thereof not embraced within the veto shall take effect and be
in force from the time of the receipt by said clerk of such veto of such
part. Upon the return of any such resolution or motion by the presi-
dent, with his objections thereto as aforesaid, the vote by which the
same was passed shall be reconsidered by the board of commissioners
as to so much thereof as may have been vetoed; and if, after such re-
consideration, four-fifths of all the members elected to the board shall
agree to pass the same by yeas and nays, to be entered on the journal,
the same shall take effect, notwithstanding the president may have re-
fused to approve thereof. In case the president shall fail or omit to
either sign and approve or return, with his objections as aforesaid, any
such motion or resolution which shall have been passed or adopted by
the board within six days after it shall have been so passed or adopted
the same shall take effect without approval of the president.

Fourth — Said board of commissioners shall have the management
of the affairs of said Cook County, in the manner provided by law, and
may exercise the same powers, perform the same duties, and shall be
subject to the same rules, regulations and penalties prescribed by law
for the board of supervisors in other counties, except as herein other-
wise provided; and shall also be subject to the rules, regulations and
restrictions herein provided.

Fifth — The said board of commissioners shall have no power or
authority to delegate to any committee or other person or persons the
"power to act," when such "power to act" shall involve the letting of
any contract or the expenditure of public money exceeding the sum of
five hundred dollars ($500) ; and any action of said board, or of any
committee thereof, or of any other person or persons in violation of this
section, shall be null and void. No money shall be appropriated or
ordered paid by said county commissioners beyond the sum of five
hundred dollars ($500), unless such appropriation shall have been
authorized by a vote of at least two-thirds of the members elected to the
said county board. And no officer of Cook County, or other person,
shall incur any indebtedness on behalf of the county, unless first author-
ized by said board of commissioners.

Sixth — Said Board of Commissioners, except as hereinafter pro-
vided, shall, within the first quarter of each fiscal year adopt a reso-
lution, to be termed the annual appropriations bill, in and by which

COUNTIES. 383

resolution said board shall appropriate such sums of money as may be
necessary to defray all necessary expenses and liabilities of said Cook
County, to be by said county paid or incurred during and until the time
of the adoption of the next annual appropriation bill under this section :
Provided, that said board shall not expend any money or incur any in-
debtedness or liability on behalf of said county in excess of the per-
centage and several amounts now limited by law, and based on the limit
prescribed in the constitution, when applied to the last previous assess-
ment. Said appropriation bill shall specify the several objects and
purposes for which such appropriations are made, and the amount ap-
propriated for each object or purpose. If the Legislature shall by law
provide, or shall at any time appear to have by law provided, for the
publication of the assessment of real or personal property, or both, to
be paid for out of the county treasury, then said board of commissioners
shall in each year, while such publication is required, make due pro-
vision for the cost thereof by sufficient appropriation in such resolution,
which said appropriation shall take precedence over all the other appro-
priations contained in such resolution, excepting the provision for prin-
cipal and interest of county indebtedness, the ordinary, current salaries
of county officials and employees, the maintenance of county property
and institutions (including courts and juries) dieting occupants of the
jails, prisons, hospitals and industrial schools, and the cost of elections
required by law. Such appropriations shall take precedence of any
appropriation for contingent fund or building fund; and if the tax
actually collected in any such year shall be less than the total amount
of the appropriations contained in said resolution, the items of appro-
priation following in such resolution after such appropriation for pub-
lishing assessments, in the order herein directed, shall be first abated,
before the appropriation for such publication of tax assessments shall
be reduced. The vote of said board of commissioners upon said appro-
priation bill shall be taken by yeas and nays, and the same shall be
entered up>on the journal. Such appropriation bill shall not take effect
until after it shall have been once published in a newspaper published
in Chicago, and said board shall provide for and cause said appropri-
ation bill to be published as aforesaid. After the adoption of such
appropriation bill or resolution, the said board of commissioners shall
not make any further or other appropriations prior to the adoption or
passage of the next succeeding annual apropriation bill, and the said
board of commissioners shall have no power, either directly or indirectly,
to make any contract or to do any act which shall add to the county
expenditure or liabilities in any year, anything or sum over and above
the amount provided for in the annual appropriation bill for that fiscal
year. No contract shall hereafter be made, or expense or liability in-
curred by the said board of commissioners, or any member or committee
thereof, or by any person or persons, for or in its behalf, notwithstanding
the expenditure may have been ordered by the said board of commis-
sioners, unless an appropriation therefor shall have been previously
made by said board in manner aforesaid : Provided, however, that noth-
ing herein contained shall prevent the board of commissioners, by a
concurring vote of four-fifths of all the commissioners (said votes to

384 COUNTIES,

be taken by yeas and nays and entered upon the journal), from making
any expenditure or incurring any liability rendered necessary, by any
unforseen casualty by fire, flood or otherwise, happening after the an-
nual appropriation bill shall have been passed or adopted. Nor shall
anything herein contained be construed to deprive the board of power
to provide for and cause to be paid from the county funds any charge
upon said county imposed by law, without the action of the board of
commissioners, including fixed salaries of officers required by law to be
paid from the county treasury, and to pay jurors' fees and other charges
fixed by law; And, provided, further, that said board of commissioners
may at any time up to and including June 30, 1919, of the fiscal year
commencing on the first Monday of December A. D. 1918 and ending
on the Saturday immediately preceding the first Monday of December,
A. D. 1919, pass additional or supplemental appropriation bills or reso-
lutions making additional appropriations which may relate back to the
commencement of said fiscal year and be additional or supplemental to
any item or items in the annual appropriation bill for said fiscal year. Any
such additional or supplemental appropriation bills or resolutions shall
not take effect until they shall have been once published in a newspaper
published in Chicago, and said board of commissioners shall provide for
and cause said additional or supplemental appropriation bills or reso-
lutions to be published as aforesaid. Any appropriations contained in
said additional or supplemental appropriation bills or resolutions may
be included in the general tax levy for the calendar year A. D. 1919, or
a subsequent separate tax levy or levies, may be made therefor.

Seventh — The board of commissioners shall establish and provide
for the appointment of a committee on finance and a committee on
public service. There shall be a superintendent of public service, to be
appointed by the president, by and with the consent of the board of
commissioners, who shall hold his office for one year and until his suc-
cessor is appointed. He may be suspended or removed by the president.
He shall give a sufficient bond for the performance of his duties and be
subject to the oversight and supervision of the committee on the public
service. It shall be the duty of the superintendent, under authority
of the board of commissioners, to purchase, receive and distribute all
supplies necessary for the use and service of Cook County and its various
institutions, of whatever nature, including all supplies necessary for
dieting the prisoners confined in the jail of said county, and, to keep,
on and after the first Monday in December, 1910, accurate accounts of
and vouchers for the same, which shall be open to the inspection of the
president and the committee on public service and to the public. He
shall also perform all other duties relative to the public service which
may be assigned to him by the board of commissioners, who shall make
and maintain regulations for the conduct and government of the depart-
ment of public service not inconsistent with this Act.

to him by the board of commissioners or the committee on public
service. All contracts for supplies, material or work for Gook County
shall be approved by the board of commissioners and signed by the
president of the board, the superintendent of public service and the
comptroller. Supplies shall be issued only on the requisitions of the re-
sponsible officers of the county institutions now or hereafter established
by law, approved by the committee on public service.

classification hereinafter provided for, except those enumerated in para-
graph twentieth of this section, shall be appointed by the president of

sioners and shall be fixed prior to the adoption of the annual appropria-
tion, and shall not be changed during the year for which the appropriation

"An Act to revise the law in relation to counties," approved and in
force March 31, 1874, as amended, is amended to read as follows :

§ 61. The said commissioners shall severally, before they enter
upon the discharge of their duties, take the oath of office prescribed
by the constitution, and they shall be known as the board, of commis-
sioners of Cook County, and as such board shall possess the powers,
perform the duties and be subject to the rules, regulations and restric-
tions hereinafter specified, that is to say:

First — Said board of commissioners shall hold regular meetings

board of commissioners to call special meetings of the board whenever,
in his opinion, the same may be necessary; and he shall preside at all
the meetings of said board, and generally perform the duties usually
performed by a presiding officer: Provided, that in the absence of the

ing before any vote shall be taken thereon ; and if adopted by the board,

COUNTIES. 393

the same shall not take effect until after the same shall have been ap-
proved in writing by the president of said board, except as hereinafter
provided. It shall be the duty of the clerk of said board to deliver
to the president thereof, upon his request, the original (or a copy) of
each resolution or motion, so passed or adopted by said board as afore-
said, within one day after its passage or adoption; and in case the
president approves thereof, he shall sign the same, and it shall there-
upon be in full force and effect. In case the president shall not ap-
prove any such resolution or motion, he shall, within five days after
the receipt of the same as aforesaid, return it to the clerk of said board,
with his objections thereto in writing. Such veto by the president may
extend to any one or more items or appropriations contained in any
resolution making an appropriation, or to the entire resolution; and
in case the veto only extends to a part of such resolution making an
appropriation, the residue thereof not embraced within the veto shall
take effect and be in force from the time of the receipt by said clerk
of such veto of such part. Upon the return of any such resolution or
motion by the president, with his objections thereto as aforesaid, the
vote by which the same was passed shall be reconsidered by the board
of commissioners as to so much thereof as may have been vetoed; and
if, after such reconsideration, four-fifths of all the members elected to
the board shall agree to pass the same by yeas and nays, to be entered
on the journal, the same shall take effect, notwithstanding the presi-
dent may have refused to approve thereof. In case the president shall
fail or omit to either sign and approve or return, with his objections
as aforesaid, any such- motion or resolution which shall have been
passed or adopted by the board within six days after it shall have been
so passed or adopted, the same shall take effect without the approval
of the president.

of the affairs of said Cook County, in the manner provided by law, and

wise provided; and shall also be subject to the rules, regulations and
restrictions herein provided.

Fifth — The said board of commissioners shall have no power or
authority to delegate to any committee or other person or persons the
"power to act," when such "power to act" shall involve the letting of
any contract or the expenditure of public money exceeding the sum of
five hundred dollars ($500) ; and any action of said board, or of any
committee thereof, or of any other person or persons in violation of
this section, .shall be null and void. No money shall be appropriated
or ordered paid by said county commissioners beyond the sum of five
hundred dollars ($500), unless such appropriation shall have been
authorized by a vote of at least two-thirds of the members elected to
the said county board. And no officer of Cook County, or other per-
son, shall incur any indebtedness on behalf of the county, unless first
authorized by said board of commissioners.

Sixth — Said board of commissioners shall, within the first quarter
of each fiscal year adopt a resolution, to be termed the annual appropri-
ations bill, in and by which resolution said board shall appropriate such
sums of money as may be necessary to defray all necessary expenses and
liabilities of said Cook County, to be by said county paid or incurred
during and until the time of the adoption of the next annual appropria-
tion bill under this section : Provided, that said board shall not expend
any money or incur any indebtedness or liability on behalf of said
county in excess of the percentage and several amounts now limited by
law, and based on the limit prescribed in the constitution, when ap-
plied to the last previous assessment. Said appropriation bill shall
specify the several objects and purposes for which such appropriations
are made, and the amount annropriated for each object or purpose.
If the Legislature shall by law provide, or shall at any time appear
to have by law provided, for the publication of the assessment of real
or personal property, or both, to be paid for out of the county treasury,
then said board of commissioners shall in each year, while such publi-
cation is required, make due provision for the cost thereof by sufficient
appropriation in such resolution, which said appropriation shall take
precedence over all the other appropriations contained in such resolu-
tion, excepting the provision for principal and interest of county in-
debtedness, the ordinary, current salaries of county officials and em-
ployes, the maintenance of county property and institutions (includ-
ing courts and juries), dieting occupants of the jails, prisons, hospitals
and industrial schools, and the cost of elections required by law. Such
appropriations shall take precedence of any appropriation for con-
tingent fund or building fund; and if the tax actually collected in any
such year shall be less than the total amount of the appropriations con-
tained in said resolution, the items of appropriation following in such
resolution after such appropriation for publishing assessments, in the
order herein directed, .shall be first abated, before the appropriation
for such publication of tax assessments shall be reduced. The vote of
said board of commissioners upon said appropriation bill shall be taken
by yeas and nays, and the same shall be entered upon the journal. Such
appropriation bill shall not take effect until after it shall have been once
published in a newspaper published in Chicago, and said board shall
provide for and cause said appropriation bill to be published as afore-
said. After the adoption of such appropriation bill or resolution, the
said board of commissioners shall not make any further or other ap-
propriations prior to the adoption or passage of the next succeeding
annual appropriation bill, and the said board of commissioners shall
have no power, either directly or indirectly, to make any contract or
to do any act which shall add to the county expenditure or liabilities
in any year, anything or sum over and above the amount provided for
in the annual appropriation bill for that fiscal year. No contract shall
hereafter be made, or expense or liabilitv incurred by the said board
of commissioners, or any member or committee thereof, or by any
person or persons, for or in its behalf, notwithstanding the expenditure
may have been ordered by the said board of commissioners, unless an ap-
propriation therefor shall have been previously made by said board in

COUNTIES. 395

manner aforesaid : Provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall prevent the board of commissioners, by a concurring vote of
four-filths of all the commissioners (said votes to be taken by yeas and
nays and entered upon the journal), from making any expenditure or
incurring any liability rendered necessary, by any unforseen casualty
by fire, flood or otherwise, happening after the annual appropriation
bill shall have been passed or adopted. Nor shall anything herein con-
tained be construed to deprive the board of power to provide for and
cause to be paid from the county funds any charge upon said county
imposed by law, without the action of the board of commissioners, in-
cluding fixed salaries of officers required by law to be paid from the
county treasury, and to pav jurors' fees and others charges fixed by law.

ment of the department of public service not inconsistent with this Act.

ty of Cook shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder, after due ad-

contracts for supplies, material or work for Cook County shall be ap-
proved by the board of commissioners and signed by the president of

§ 10. To take charge of body — jury.] Every coroner,
whenever, and as soon as he knows or is informed that the dead body
of any person is found, or lying within his county, supposed to have
come to his or her death by violence, casualty or any undue means, he
shall repair to the place where the dead body is, and take charge of
the same and forthwith summon a jury of six good and lawful men
of the neighborhood where the body is found or lying, to assemble at
the place where the body is at such time as he shall direct, and upon
view of the body to inquire into the cause and manner of the death.
Where, however, after said jury has viewed said body and the inquest
has been continued by the coroner to a future date, and some of said
jurors not exceeding three, fail to appear at said inquest because of
death, moving from State, or other sufficient reasons, it shall be lawful
for the coroner in such case to fill said vacancy or vacancies with good
and lawful men of the same neighborhood. It shall not be necessary in
such case to exhume the body in order that it may be viewed by snid
substitute jurors. In any case where a person is supposed to have
come to his or her death by violence of a criminal character as afore-
said, and in cases where the cause of death is not known, and concern-
ing which the circumstances evidence violence of a criminal character,
or death from criminal means, or where said cause of death is unascer-
tainable otherwise than by an autopsy, the coroner may, in his discre-

physician to examine the body of the deceased, and if from examination,.
or from a preliminary investigation by the coroner, the cause of death
cannot be definitely ascertained by the coroner, he may, in his discre-
tion, or the jury, after being summoned and sworn, may, in its discre-
tion, order and direct an autopsy to be held upon the body to ascertain
the cause of death. If from such examination, preliminary investiga-
tion, or autopsy, the death is found to be due to natural causes, and
there is no evidence of any injury to the body, the coroner may, in his
discretion, issue a death certificate without conducting a further in-
quest. In all cases where the coroner has reasonable ground to believe
or suspect, or where there is any evidence, that death resulted through
criminal means or agencies, it shall be his duty to conduct a post-
mortem examination, upon the body. Provided, however, that there
shall be no autopsy ordered, directed or held except as heretofore in
this section expressly provided.

years from the birth of such child: Provided, that where the reputed
father has acknowledged in open court the paternity of the child, then,

release is obtained, suit be instituted against such father and the issue
be found against him, he shall be entitled to a set-off for the amount so
paid, and it shall be accredited to him as of the first payment or pay-
ments: And, provided, further, that such father may compromise all

said time, be considered as remaining under conviction for the crime or
offense of which they were convicted and sentenced or committed and
subject to be taken at any time within the enclosure of such peniten-
tiary, reformatory and institutions herein mentioned. Pull power to

time fixed in said definite sentence.

§ 7a. The Department of Public Welfare may parole a non-

at any time return to the State of Illinois, he or she shall be subject to
be again arrested or apprehended on the writ or order of the warden,
superintendent or managing head of the penitentiary, reformatory or
institution from which such prisoner or ward was paroled with full power

to read as follows:

Petition for abandonment. § 44. 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 requires 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 notices of the filing of such petition, and of the general

and in the manner (so far as applicable to the nature of the proceed-
ings) required by section three (3) of the Act to which this is an
amendment. The court may, for good cause, after the proof of notice
as aforesaid, continue the hearing of such application from time to
time, and any person or persons interested may appear and resist such
application; and the court after a 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 ex-
tent the cost of such proposed work shall be diminished thereby; and
if the assessments for benefits shall have been made, such portion 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 account of
such change of plans, will be wholly deprived of the benefits contem-
plated in the original plans, the court shall order that the entire as-
sessments against such lands be abated. If such order shall be made
after the assessments shall have been collected, the court shall order
such proportion of said assessments as may be abated to be refunded to
the person who may have paid the same or their lawful representatives,
and for non-compliance with such order the commissioners 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 interests may be affected by it may re-
quire. 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 a majority in number of all* the land
owners of such district, and owning more than one-half in area of
lands in the district to which the petitioners belong, praying that the
whole system of proposed works may be abandoned and the district
abolished, the court shall enter upon its record an order granting the
prayer of such petition, upon condition that the petitioner pay all court
costs within thirty (30) days from the rendition of such order. If
such petitioners fail to comply with such order, it shall be considered
after the expiration of said thirty (30) days, as of no force or effect
whatever. If the district be abolished under this section, assessments
collected shall be refunded to the persons who have paid the same, or
their representatives. Provided that the petitioners shall have the
right to withdraw from said petition upon the same grounds and in
the same manner as is provided by section four (4) of the Act to which
this Act is an amendment. All of the provisions of this Act shall ap-
ply, as far as the same can be applied, to all drainage districts hereto-
fore organized under the jurisdiction of justices of the peace, in pur-
suance of the provisions of the Act to which this Act is an amendment.

others for agricultural, sanitary and mining purposes and to provide
for the organization of drainage districts" be amended to read as
follows : —

§ 58. 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 with any ditch or drain within the district
as organized and whose lands are or will be benefited by the work. of
such district, shall be deemed to have made voluntary application to
be included in such drainage district; and thereupon the commissioners
shall make complaint in writing, setting forth a description of such
land or lands benefited, and amount of benefits; the name of the
owner or owners thereof, also a description of the drain or ditch mak-
ing connection with the ditches of such district, as near as may be;
and file said complaint in the County Court or before a justice of
the peace. The court or justice of the peace shall fix a day, not less
than fifteen days from such filing, when he will hear such complaint.
and thereupon the commissioners shall give ten days' notice thereof
in writing; said notice shall embrace a copy of such complaint, and
service thereof shall be by reading or delivering a copy thereof to such
owner or owners, or by either publishing a copy of said petition or post-
ing copies thereof within the territory sought to be annexed in the
same manner as provided by section three (3) of said Act; and af-
fidavit of such service shall be evidence thereof. At the time fixed, or
at a time continued from such time fixed, the court or justice of the
peace, shall hear said cause, and if the complaint is before a justice
of the peace, and judgment is rendered in favor of said district, he
shall record a copy of said complaint, and service of notice thereof to-
gether with his judgment thereon upon his docket, and if the district
was organized before the Countv Court, he shall transmit a certified
copy of such complaint and judgment to the clerk of such court who

of such land annexed shall be made, and such lands described in the
complaint in either case, shall be deemed a part of such district and
shall be assessed as other lands therein. The assessments of benefits
against such lands so added to said district, may be made at any time
the commissioners may deem proper; and the assessment roll thereof
shall be filed and recorded and proceedings thereon had as in other
cases; or such lands may be assessed when all lands throughout the
district are assessed; provided that when the lands so added lie in an-
other county from which the said district was organized and have the
effect of changing the acreage so that the county in which said district
was organized contains no longer a majority of the acreage of said
district or a majority of the land owners of said district, then all pro-
ceedings thereafter had pertaining to said district shall be in the county
in which the majority of the acreage and a majority of the owners of the
lands of said district is situated. And the county clerk of the county
in which said district was organized, or which prior to said annexation
contained a majority of the acreage, shall transmit to the county clerk
of the county in which a majority of the acreage and a majority of the
owners of the lands in said district is situated, a copy of the order organ-
izing said district, a copy of all assessments for benefits and confirmed
by the court and a copy of such other records as may be designated by
the court in which the majority of the acreage lies.

§ 23. When the classification of lands has been prepared as here-
inabove provided, the commissioners shall fix a time for the hearing

of said drainage district shall give two weeks' notice of the time fixed
for such hearing, which notice may be in substance as follows :
"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCEKK:

"You are hereby notified that the commissioners of the
(here insert the name of the drainage district; and in the case
of a sub-district or minor sub-district, give the numbers of the
sections, with township and range, in which it is located) have
filed their classification of lands benefited therein, and that they

will on the day of , A. D. 19 ,

at the hour of M., meet at , to hear any

and all objections that may be made to the same, when and where
you may appear and be heard, if you see fit.

"Dated this day of , A. D., 19

"Clerk of said District."
Such notice shall be published once each week for two successive
weeks in a newspaper in the county in which the drainage district was
organized, and a copy thereof shall be posted in ten public places in
the drainage district, and a like copy shall be mailed at least ten davs
before the hearing to each owner of lands so classified who resides out-
side of the county or counties where such district is situated, and whose
postoffice address is known to the commissioners, but the failure to give
the proper notice as to any owner of land, or to any commissioner of high-
ways, shall not affect in any way the validity of the special assessment
levied on the said classification, except as to the land of the owner thereof

DRAINAGE. 445

not properly notified or as to the public roads under the jurisdiction of
the commissioner of highways not properly notified.

§ 24. The commissioners or a majority of them, shall meet at
the time and place fixed for the hearing and shall hear all objections to
their classification that may be urged by any person interested. They
may adjourn from time to time, or to a future day fixed, as deemed
necessary, until all objections have been heard and considered. They
shall' make public announcement of all such adjournments and cause a
notice to be posted thereof at the place of the said meeting, giving the
time and place of the said adjourned meeting. After all objections that
may be offered have been heard and considered, the commissioners shall,
if satisfied that justice requires that their said classification shall be
modified, correct the same in accordance with the rights and justice
of the matter, which corrections or changes, if any, may be made on the
table or map and the commissioners shall thereupon confirm such
classification; but if not so satisfied, they shall confirm their classifica-
tion as originally made and shall enter an order to that effect. All
orders made by the commissioners, either correcting or confirming their
classification, shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the drainage dis-
trict within five days from the entry thereof, and any person appearing
and urging objections who is not satisfied with the decision of the com-
missioners in confirming the classification of the lands, may appeal
therefrom within ten days after the order of the commissioners is filed,
by filing with the clerk of the County Court of the county in which the
district was organized, and in which court said appeal shall be tried, a
bond with good and sufficient security, to be approved by the clerk or
the judge of said court, payable to said drainage district and conditioned
for the payment of such tax as may be levied upon the land in question
in all costs occasioned by said appeal in case said order of said commis-
sioners shall be affirmed.

§ 25. Appeals taken to the County Court under the provisions of
this Act may be heard at any common law or probate term thereof :
Provided, that ten days has intervened from the time of taking the
appeal and the first day of the term, otherwise such appeal shall be
heard at the next term of said court as herein provided, and the cost of
such appeal may, at the discretion of the court, be divided between the
drainage district and the owner of the land who may appeal from the
classification of the commissioners. It shall be the duty of the County
Court to cause to be summoned twelve disinterested land owners to
meet at the court house at a time set by the court for hearing any
appeal or appeals that may be taken from the decision of the commis-
sioners. The said twelve (12) landowners shall be men who have
practical knowledge of the costs and benefits of farm drainage, and
shall be sworn in as a special jury to try the case on appeal. Should
any of the said landowners fail to appear at the time named, or should
any of those summoned be rejected under the exercise of the usual right
of challenge, the court may cause to be summoned any other qualified
landowner, or owners, as required by this section, to fill such vacancy
or vacancies, or the case may be tried by six qualified jurors, if both

446

DRAINAGE.

parties to the suit so agree. Whenever the special jury summoned to
hear appeals shall have been sworn in as herein provided, it shall be the
duty of the court to lay before them the classification as determined by
the drainage commissioners, and they shall examine the same and hear
allegations and testimony in opposition to and in support of the same,
and may, if requested by either party to the appeal, visit the district and
view the lands. If they find the tracts of land in question are marked
too high or too low in the classification, they shall correct the errors;
but if no injustice has been done, they shall confirm the classification
as made by the commissioners. Their final determination shall be made
in writing and filed with the records of the court. The classification,
when established as herein provided, shall be recorded in the drainage
record.

§ 26. The commissioners by resolution shall order such amount
of money to be raised by special assessment upon the lands of the district
as may be necessary, and such amount shall be apportioned among the
several tracts in the name of the owner when known, according to
acreage of each and its figure of classification on the graduated scale, so
that each tract may bear its equal burden in proportion to benefits.
They shall make out a special assessment roll hereinafter designated
tax list, setting down in separate columns the owners' names, when
known, and when unknown stating unknown, a description of the land,
the number denoting the classification, the tax, the damages allowed,
if an}', or any other credit to be given to the owner. The balance of
tax over credits or of damages or other credits over the tax showing
the amount due to the district by each land owner on the separate tracts,
or due to the land owner by the district, shall be set down, in final
columns. When completed the list shall be filed with the town clerk.
The tax list may be substantially as follows : —

If any land owner or any commissioner of highways has not been
properly notified in accordance herewith of the hearing in reference to
the classification of the lands and public roads, this shall not affect the
validity of the tax or special assessment so levied against any land or
the public roads except the tax or special assessment levied against the
particular tract or tracts of land whose owner has not been properly

DRAINAGE. 447

notified, ur the road in reference to which the commissioner of highways
has not received the proper notice.

§ 2d. It shall be competent for the commissioners to order the tax
to be paid in installments of such amounts and at such times as w
convenient for the accomplishment of the proposed work; otherwise the
whole amount of such tax shall be payable thirty days after such con-
firmation, and shall upon a certified copy of the tax list or the appro-
priate part thereof being filed for record in the office of the recorder of
deeds of the county where the land lies, be a lien upon the land.- assessed
until paid; and such taxes shall draw interest until they are paid, and
such interest may be collected arid enforced as part of the taxes. The
payment of an installment of any assessment or judgment therefor shall
be an estoppel against any objections to succeeding installments of the
same assessment against that tract which might have been urged against
such prior installment. No writ of error to review any judgment or
order entered under this Act shall be brought after six months from the
entry of such judgment; nor shall the organization of the drainage
district or its jurisdiction over any lands therein be subject to attack
by quo warranto or otherwise after the confirming of any assessment
thereon.

§ 42. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to forbid the land
owners within the district to more completely drain their lands by using
the common drains as outlets to lateral drains; and the owners of lands
outside the drainage district, or in other drainage districts, may con-
nect with the ditches of the district already made, by the payment of
such amount as they would have been assessed if originally included
in the district, or if such connection shall by increase of water, require
an enlargement of the district ditches, then the outside owners of land
so connecting, or other drainage districts, as may be, shall pay the costs
of such enlargement. If individual land owners outside the district
shall so connect, they shall be deemed to have voluntarily applied to be
included in the district, and their lands benefited by such drainage shall
be treated, classified and taxed like other lands within the district.
Drainage commissioners may, at any time, enlarge the boundaries of
their district by attaching new areas of land which are involved in the
same system of drainage and require for an outlet the drains of the
district made or proposed to be made, as the case may be, upon petition
of as great a proportion of the land owners of the area to be added as is
required for the original district. All changes thus made in the district
shall be duly noted and shown upon the map and recorded in the
drainage record.

If, after the organization of any drainage district the commis-
sioners thereof shall be of the opinion that there are lands lying outside
of such drainage district, as organized, which are or will be benefited by
the work done in said drainage district, or by work ordered to be done
therein, such lands, in case they are not included in any other drainage
district, shall be deemed to have made voluntary application to be in-
cluded in said drainage district, by the work of which they are or will
be benefited; and thereupon the commissioners shall prepare a petition

448 DRAINAGE.

setting forth a description of such lands or land benefited, giving the
name of the owner or owners thereof, if known, and the postoffice
address of such owner, together with a general description of the drain
or ditch, if any, making connection with the ditches of such district;
such petition shall be filed in the County Court of the county where
such district was organized. The court shall fix a day when the court
will hear such petition and thereupon the commissioners shall give ten
days' notice thereof, which notice shall embrace a copy of the petition
and service thereof shall be by delivering a copy thereof to each owner
named therein, or by publishing a copy thereof in some newspaper in
the county where said lands, or the greater part thereof lie, or by post-
ing ten copies thereof in ten of the most public places in or near the
land sought to be annexed to the drainage district, the certificate of the
publisher or the affidavit of the person delivering or posting such notices
shall be evidence thereof. At the time fixed, or at a time continued
from such time fixed, the court shall hear said cause, and if judgment is
rendered in favor of petitioners, a copy of the petition, and proof of
service thereof, together with order of judgment thereon, shall be de-
livered to the clerk of the drainage district, who shall file and record
the same in the drainage record, and upon entry of such judgment the
lands described in the said petition shall be deemed a part of the district
and subject to all provisions of this Act. Every land owner whose
land is thus annexed to any drainage district shall have a right to
appeal from the order of the County Court annexing said land to the
said drainage district, to the Circuit Court of the said county, upon
filing a bond in a sum to be fixed by the judge of the County Court, the
said appeal to be prayed within ten (10) days after the order has been
entered by the court annexing the said land to the said drainage dis-
trict. Land annexed to a drainage district under any of the provisions
of this section shall be classified and assessed with the other lands
therein, unless such classification shall have already been made, in
which event the lands so annexed to the district shall be classified pro-
portionately to such established classification with like proceedings in
reference to assessment and right of appeal.

§ 43. Sub-districts may be formed by owners of land in main
districts for the purpose of local or more minute drainage in the man-
ner provided in this Act for the organization of main districts. Such
sub-districts shall have the right to use the ditches of the main district
for outlets; or in drainage districts organized or proposed to be or-
ganized which have one or more lateral drains or proposed drains
which are independent of each other, except as to the main drain or
outlet, and which do now or will drain separate areas within said dis-
trict, it shall be and may be lawful for the commissioners, at their
option, to divide the districts into as many sub-districts, as there are
separate areas for the purpose of making assessments of benefits for the
work to be done in said sub-district; such division may be made so as
to form one or more such districts at the same time, or from time to
time as the commissioners may deem expedient: Provided, the forma-
tion of sub-districts on either method as above provided shall not operate

DRAINAGE. 449

to release the lands in such sub-districts from the payment of any
assessment or levy made prior to such division nor from any assessment
or tax levy which may thereafter be made for the completion, main-
tenance or repair of the main work, or for the payment of the principal
and interest on any indebtedness incurred by the main district, nor
shall it give such sub-district any claim on the funds of the main dis-
trict for its local use : Provided, further, that when sub-districts are
organized under this Act, which have one or more lateral drains or
proposed drains, which are independent of each other, except as to the
main sub-district ditch or outlet, and which do now or will drain
separate areas within said sub-district, the commissioners may, as pro-
vided for in this section, divide such sub-districts into as many minor
' sub-districts as there are separate areas within such sub-districts to be
drained, for the purpose of making assessments of benefits for the local
or minute drainage to be done in such minor sub-districts: And, pro-
vided, further, that the formation of such minor sub-districts as herein
provided for shall not operate to release the lands in such minor sub-
districts from the payment of any assessment or levy made prior to such
division, nor from any assessment or tax levy which thereafter may be
made, for the completion, maintenance or repair of the main outlets or
ditches in sub-districts or in main districts, or for the payment of the
principal and interest of any indebtedness incurred by the sub-district
or main district nor shall it give such minor sub-district any claim
upon the funds of the sub-district or the main district for its local use.
Sub-districts which contain not less than five sections of land, upon the
filing of a petition signed by a majority of the landowners of said
sub-district with the county clerk in favor of the election of a board
of commissioners for said sub-district, shall proceed at the next succeed-
ing annual election of drainage commissioners to elect such a drainage
board. The notices of the election of such sub-district commissioners,
the time of holding and making returns of the same, and the term of
office, shall be the same as provided in this Act for the election of com-
missioners in original or main districts, and the compensation of such
commissioners, shall be the same as is provided for main district com-
missioners. It shall be the duty of the main district commissioners to
control all matters pertaining to main district drainage and sub-districts
not having independent commissioners. Sub-district commissioners, as
provided for in this Act, shall have charge of and control over all mat-
ters pertaining to drainage within their respective sub-districts and of
drainage within their respective minor sub-districts, as provided for
in this Act, except such work as belongs exclusively to the main districts
and classification and assessments made within such sub-districts and
such minor sub-districts on account of the main work. The matter of
securing right of way, ascertaining damages, review of classification and
assessments and appeals therefrom, making repairs, additional work
and additional assessments in sub-districts, and minor sub-districts shall
be controlled by the provisions of this Act applicable to the main district.

§ 52. 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 peti-
tioners, 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 of the lands in
said proposed district; said commissioners shall go upon the lands in-
cluded in said proposed district, and personally examine the same; they
shall have power to employ a competent civil engineer if, in their
opinion, the services of an engineer be necessary, who shall make such
surveys and estimates as said commissioners may direct, and shall, if re-
quired by the commissioners, make and return to them a map, or plat,
of his survey, and a full report of all estimates required of him. Said '
commissioners shall make out and file with the clerk of the court a full
report of their acts and doings as such commissioners, together with all
maps, plats, surveys and estimates made or caused to be made by them
or the engineer employed by them, and may put into said report any
recommendation they may deem advisable, which report shall be signed
by the commissioners or the majority thereof and filed as aforesaid, on
or before the time fixed by the court for the hearing to complete the
organization of said district or such further time as the court may give
for filing of the same. It shall be the duty of the court at the time of
the appointment of said commissioners to fix the time for the hearing
of said commissioners' report as aforesaid, and to complete the organiza-
tion of said district, and no further notice thereof shall be required, and
said commissioners shall then appear before said court and file their
report, with all maps, plats, surveys and estimates if the same have not
been previously filed in said court. The time fixed by the court for
such hearing shall not be more than thirty clays subsequent to the date
of the appointment of said commissioners. At the time fixed for the
said hearing, if the commissioners have not completed their estimates,
or for other cause have their report completed, the court may continue
the hearing to such further time as will enable the commissioners to
complete their work and file their report and other papers as herein
required. At the time fixed by the court for the hearing on the report
of the commissioners, and to complete the organization of said district,
or at the time to which such hearing was continued, any owner of land
in said proposed district may appear in person or by attorney and
persons under guardianship, by their guardians, and the court shall
appoint a guardian ad litem, as in other civil proceedings and any party
may file objections in writing, or file an alternative plan of improve-
ment and be heard upon said objections, and said report or alternative
plan of improvement; and the court shall hear any competent testi-
mony of witnesses then introduced; and if it shall appear to the court
that the lands included in the proposed district will be benefited for
agricultural and sanitary purposes, the court shall so find and enter an
order declaring sitch district organized, unless the court shall find from
the evidence introduced on such hearing that the cost of the proposed
work, or any modification thereof that may be approved by the court,

DRAINAGE. 451

after such hearing, will exceed the benefits to be derived therefrom. In
which case the court shall so find and enter an order to that effect; and
dismiss the petition : Provided, however, if the owners of lands' lying
in said district, who own in the aggregate more than one-half of the
land lying therein, still desire the formation of said district and such
desire shall be evidenced by a failure to withdraw their signatures from
the petition, the court shall enter an order declaring said district or-
ganized, and the clerk shall enter the same of record, and the district
shall thereupon be deemed fully organized and shall be known and

designated as "The special drainage

district, in the county (or counties) of

and State of Illinois." The commissioners shall be the corporate
authorities thereof, and shall be a body politic and corporate, with like
powers as herein conferred upon other drainage commissioners either
by this Act or other laws of this State ; may sue and be sued, plead and be
impleaded, with their corporate name and capacity, which shall be :

"The Commissioners of the Special

Drainage District in the county (or counties) of

and State of Illinois."

§ 60. The commissioners shall without delay make out and file
in the office of the clerk of said district a classification of the lands and
premises in said drainage district, which classification shall be prepared
and filed and notice thereof giving as hereinbefore provided in the case
of drainage districts located within a single town.

§ 73. The commissioners provided for in this Act shall receive
three dollars per day for the time actually employed in the discharge of
the duties of their office. They shall make out their account under
oath, and in all districts except special drainage districts, their accounts
shall be audited and allowed by the board of auditors of the town in
which the district was organized and in special drainage districts their
account shall be presented to and allowed by the judge of the court in
which the district was organized; and the amount allowed by the board
of auditors, or court, as the case may be, shall be paid out of the funds
of the district for which the services were rendered. The clerk of the
commissioners shall receive the same fees as is allowed for like services
in matters connected with his office. The treasurer shall receive for his
services such sum of money as may be fixed by the commissioners, not
to exceed two per cent of moneys collected by him, and not to exceed
one per cent on moneys paid him by other collectors or treasurers, and
in no case shall the treasurer receive to exceed five hundred dollars for
his services in any one year for any one district. All fees and allowances
shall be paid out of the funds of the district for which the services were
or may be rendered.

§ 74. Neither the drainage district nor the commissioners thereof
shall be liable for the building, enlarging or replacing of any farm or
highway bridge across the open drains of the district, nor for the main-
tenance thereof; but the cost thereof, when occasioned by the work of
the drainage district, shall be taken into consideration in determining
the amount of damage to be allowed to the land owner or commissioner

452 DRAINAGE.

of highways, as the case may be, and shall be agreed upon or ascertained
at the same time and in the same manner as other damages arising from
the construction of such work as hereinbefore provided in this Act.

§ 79. If any special assessment or any part thereof, for the con-
struction or repair of any work in any drainage district heretofore or
hereafter organized under this Act, whether the same is made prior to
the taking effect of this amendment or hereafter made, has been or shall
hereafter be annulled or be held not legally made by any court of com-
petent jurisdiction, on account of the failure to give proper notice or
the failure of any officer to perform any of his statutory duties, or on
account of any other matters not affecting the merits of the assessment,
a new assessment may be made and returned therefor, and the proceed-
ings therefor shall be the same as hereinbefore provided for the prior
assessment, and all parties interested shall have like rights and like
powers in relation to any such subsequent assessment as are hereby given
in relation to prior assessment, and if only a part of the said special
assessment shall be so annulled, or be held not legally made, then in
making the reassessment it will not be necessary to proceed in any way
against the lands in reference to which the assessment has not been set
aside, but the proceedings shall only be had with reference to the lands
in reference to which the assessment has been annulled or held not
legally made as aforesaid. No such special assessment shall be held void
because levied to pay for work already done or contracted for, if it
appears that such work was done in good faith under a contract duly
let and executed in substantial compliance with the plans providing for
the same. The fact that the prior assessment may have been held invalid
by the court for the reason that the meetings of the drainage commis-
sioners in reference thereto were held outside of the drainage district,
or that lands or drains of another drainage district were included in
such district, or that the same was held insufficient for any other reason,
shall not be a bar to a subsequent assessment to pay for the Avork done
and for which such prior assessment was ordered to be made. The fact
that the drainage commissioners have already made or attempted to
make a subsequent assessment to pay for the said work done in con-
templation of such prior assessment set aside, annulled or held invalid,
by the court, shall, also, not be construed to prevent the application
of this section.

§ 80. The word "ditch" when used in this Act, shall be held to
include any drain or watercourse, and when the word "ditch" is used in
the petition for any drainage district it shall be held to mean and
include any side, lateral, spur or branch ditch or drain, whether opened,
covered, or tiled, and any natural water-course into which such drains
or ditches may enter for the purpose of outlet, whether such water-
course is situated in or outside of the district. And to secure complete
drainage of the lands within any drainage district, the commissioners
are hereby vested with full power to widen, straighten, deepen, or enlarge
any such watercourse, and when it is necessary, to straighten such
natural watercourses by cutting a new channel upon other lands, the
value of such lands to be occupied by such new channel and damages,

DRAINAGE.

if any, made by such work may be ascertained and paid in the manner
that is now or may hereafter be provided by any law provided for the
exercise of the right of eminent domain in force in this State. This
section shall apply to any and all drainage districts that have been
heretofore or may hereafter be organized under this Act.

§ 81. Where, under the law there is only one commissioner of
highway, the sole commissioner of highways in each town in the several
counties under township organization in this State shall be the drainage
commissioner in and for all drainage districts in their respective towns,
organized under this law, and shall be known by the corporate name of

"Drainage Commissioner of Drainage District ISTo of the Town

of , County of and State

of Illinois," and by that name shall be a body politic and may sue and
be sued, plead and be impleaded, contract and be contracted with, and
shall have all of the powers provided by this Act for commissioners of
highways and all of the provisions of this Act referring to "Commis-
sioners of Highways" or "Commissioners" shall apply to, and all of the
powers given them shall be held and exercised by the said sole commis-
sioner of highways, when acting as such drainage commissioner. In the
case of a union drainage district, where there is only one commissioner
of highways in each of the two townships- in which the lands in the said
drainage district lie, that the sole commissioners of highways of the said
two townships shall exercise the powers and authorities given by this
Act to the commissioners of highways to be selected by the town clerk
under this Act, and that the sole commissioner of highways of the
township in which the majority of the lands of said union drainage
district lie, shall, in all matters, where there is any disagreement be-
tween the two commissioners of highways acting as drainage commis-
sioners, have two votes.

tween the hours of 2 :00 and 4 :00 o'clock p. m. : Provided, however,
that in case the town clerk shall at any time fail, refuse or neglect to
give the notice herein required and by reason thereof no election is
held on the second Saturday of March, as aforesaid, then the clerk
shall, upon the demand of any drainage commissioner or any person
interested, call an election for such purpose and give notice, and said elec-
tion may be held at any time in such case after the second Saturday
of March of each year, and the commissioners elected at such election
shall be the drainage commissioners of said district, and in case of

is elected and qualified. Every adult owner of land in the district,
whether residing within or without the district, shall be a voter, and
if a resident of the county in which the district or any part thereof

shall act as judges and clerk of elections in their respective districts.
If said commissioners be not present, it shall be competent for the
electors present to select judges and clerk of said election. Eeturns
of said election shall be made to the town clerk, who shall record the
same in a book kept for that purpose. Said commissioners shall take
the oath of office before some officer authorized to administer oaths.
Said commissioners shall be known by the corporate name of drainage

commissioners of District No , of the town of ,

duties as herein provided, the drainage commissioners shall take and
subscribe an oath substantially as follows, viz:

We> drainage commissioners of

damages and benefits (or benefits as the case may be), in favor of or
against the land in said district, according to law.

When a vacancy occurs amongst the drainage commissioners, elect-
ed under this Act, it shall be the duty of the surviving commissioner
or commissioners to call an election to fill the vacancy. The commis-

has been made for the purpose of constructing drains or ditches, or en-
larging or repairing the main drains or ditches of said district, accord-
ing to the profiles, plans and specifications of the commissioners, as
reported and confirmed, there remain lands in particular localities in
any original district which maintains a levee as a part of its work,
which are in need of more minute and complete drainage, and it shall
appear to the commissioners that, in their judgment, additional ditches,
drains, outlets, levees, pumping plants or other work are needed in order
to afford more complete drainage, they may prepare a special report
as hereinafter provided and file the same and organize a sub-district,
in any original district which maintains a levee as a part of its work,
in the manner hereinafter set forth without the necessity of a petition
of the land owners therefor, and in all cases in any original district
which maintains a levee as a part of its work, where, upon written
application to the commissioners signed by a majority in number of
the adult land owners in such locality owning in the aggregate more
than one-third of the land affected, or by the adult land owners of a
major part of the land in such locality who constitute one-third or
more of the owners of the land affected, it shall appear that additional
ditches, drains, outlets, levees, pumping plants or other work are neces-
sary in order to afford more complete drainage to such locality, it shall
be the duty of such commissioners to examine such lands, and lay off
and make plans, profiles and specifications of such additional work, and
an estimate of the cost of the same and make a special report thereof,
which special report, whether filed on petition of the land owners or
not, shall describe all of the lands which will be either benefited or
damaged by such additional work, together with the names of the own-

therefor.

In case the ballot envelope contains more than one ballot of any
kind, said ballots shall not be counted, but shall be marked "Rejected",
giving the reason therefor.

velope with its contents unopened, when such absent vote is rejected shall
be retained and preserved in the manner as now provided for the retention
and preservation of official ballots rejected at such election.

opposite the name of each candidate of his choice for each office to be
filled. At the primary at which a precinct committeeman is to be
elected the primary elector may write or attach at the bottom of his
primary ballot in the space provided for that purpose, the name of one
primary elector of his precinct, member of and affiliated with his
political party, for precinct committeeman. No other mark or designa-
tion shall be necessary to indicate the primary elector's choice for pre-
cinct committeeman.

in the square a cross (X). And at the primary at which precinct com-
mitteemen are to be elected he shall write at the bottom of his primary

primary ballot in such manner as to conceal the marks thereon. Such
voter shall then vote forthwith by handing the primary judge the

ballots of each political party separately; and as the primary judges
shall open and read the primary ballots, each primary clerk shall care-
fully and correctly mark upon the tally sheets the votes which each can-

ballot has received, in a separate column for that purpose, with the
name of such candidate, the name of his political party and the name
of the office for which he is a candidate for nomination at the head of
such column.

a petition in writing, setting forth the grounds of contest, which peti-
tion shall be verified by the affidavit of the petitioner or other person,

canvassing board, which canvasses the returns for such nomination
(and if for the nomination for an office, certified tabulated statements
of the returns of which are to be filed with the Secretary of State),
also with the county canvassing board, a notice of the pendency of the
contest. In the case of a contest for the nomination for State and
Congressional offices and for the office of county judge, said petition
shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the Circuit Court.

Authority and jurisdiction are hereby vested in the County Court
or in the judge thereof in vacation, or in the Circuit Court or in the
judges thereof in vacation, as the case may be, to hear and determine
primary contests. When a petition to contest a primary shall be filed
in the office of the clerk of the court, said petition shall forthwith be
presented to the judge thereof, who shall note thereon the date of
presentation, and shall also note thereon the day when he will hear
the same, which shall not be more than five days thereafter, and shall
order issuance of summons to each defendant named in the petition.

Summons shall forthwith issue to each defendant named in the
petition and shall be served in the same manner as is provided in cases
in chancery. Summons may be issued and served in any county in
the State. The case may be heard and determined by the County or
. Circuit Court in term time, or by the judges thereof in vacation, at
any time not less than three days after service of process, and shall
have preference in the order of heaping to all other cases. The peti-
tioner shall give security for all costs.

If, in the opinion of the court, in which the petition is filed, the
grounds for contest alleged are insufficient in law, the petition shall be
dismissed. If the grounds alleged are sufficient in law, the court shall
proceed in a summary manner and may hear evidence, examine the re-
turns, recount the ballots and make such orders and enter such judg-
ment as justice may require. The court shall ascertain and declare
by a decree, as in chancery to be entered of record in the proper court,
the result of such election in the territorial area for which the contest
is made. The judgment of the court shall be final. A certified copy
of said decree shall forthwith be made by the clerk of the court and
transmitted to the board canvassing the returns for such office ; and in
case of contest, if for nomination for an office, tabulated statements of
returns for which are filed with the Secretary of State, also in the of-
fice of the county clerk in the proper county. The proper canvassing
board, or boards, as the case may be, shall correct the returns or the
tabulated statement of returns in accordance with said decree.

from the city, be unable to appear in person at the office of the board
of election commissioners, during the interval between the first and
second days of registration, he may, upon application made by him

said registiy is not a qualified voter, such fact shall be noted; and after
the completion of such "verification lists," such board or one of said
judges shall make a cross or check mark in ink opposite such name.
If said judges shall, however, know any person so complained of is a
qualified voter, and shall believe that such complaint was made only
to vex and harass such qualified voter, then such name shall not t>e put
upon such list, but shall go upon such list in case any one of the
judges desires. Said judges shall, before noon of the next day, return
the registers to the office of said election commissioners.

plaint is made to them, to investigate the action of such clerks or can-

the Saturday following the Tuesday three weeks preceding such gen-
eral election, said board of registry shall again meet at the place desig-
nated, and the said clerks of election shall meet with them and they
shall remain in session from six o'clock p. m. to ten o'clock p. m. for
the sole purpose of revising their registry, and no new name shall be
added.

lowing the canvass between the hours of eight o'clock a. m. and ten
o'clock p. m. and the clerks of election in such city, village or incor-
porated town shall meet with them, as may be required by the board

fore the board of registry, or the board of election commissioners, as
the case may be, during the session, he shall make oath and sign an
affidavit, in substance, as follows:

"I do solemnly swear that I am a citizen of the United States,

and that I have resided in the precinct, of the

ward in the city of and the county of and

I have never been convicted of any crime (or if convicted, state the
time and when pardoned by the Governor of any state)."

This affidavit shall be signed and sworn to before one of such board
of registry or board of election commissioners, or clerk of the board
and it shall be preserved and filed in the office of said election commis-
sioners. Thereupon, said board of registry, or board of election com-
missioners shall further examine him and shall also swear such can-
vassers, and hear them upon the question, and they shall also have the
power to send one or both of said canvassers to make further examina-
tion, and inquire at the place claimed by such person to be his residence,
and again examine such canvassers touching the same ; and if after such
further examination and hearing, the majority of such board are of the
opinion that such person is not a qualified voter in such precinct, they
shall mark the word "yes" under the column of the register marked
"erase" and shall also draw a line in ink under his name, which memo-
randum, in case of any registration, shall indicate that the name of such
person is erased from the register, and such person shall not be entitled
to vote unless his name be restored as hereinafter provided. At the
close of said session, if any person so notified to appear at such session
has not appeared and shown cause why his name should not be erased
from such register, the same shall be erased in the manner aforesaid.
In cities in which such hearing and revision shall be before the board of
registrjr, any person who has appeared at the session of the board of
registry, and whose name has been so erased, may make application, in
writing, under oath, to the election commissioners, upon the Tuesday and

a. m. and six o'clock p. m., to be restored to such register. Either of
said clerks shall have the power and right of both in the matter pertain-
ing to such canvass ; but in case either refuses or neglects to go and make
such canvass, as aforesaid, then the other may make such canvass alone.
But a clerk who wilfully neglects to perform his duty in making such
canvass, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction
shall be imprisoned in the county jail not exceeding sixty days nor less
than thirty days and shall also be deemed guilty of a contempt of court,
and be punished accordingly as an officer of said County Court. In case
of temporary disability on the part of either canvasser or clerk, the
judge who belongs to the same party may appoint a temporary clerk or
canvasser, who shall belong to the same party, and administer to him
the usual oath of office, and he shall perform all the duties of the office
until the disability of the regular clerk or canvasser is removed. The
"verification lists" aforesaid after the final revision, if such revision is
by the board of registry, shall be at once returned by said board to the
board of election commissioners.

§ 10. At the end of the last session above provided for, the said
board of registry and said clerks shall compare and correct the registers
aforesaid and make them correspond and agree; and said judges shall
then, immediately following the last name on each page of the register,
sign their names so that no other names can be added without discovery,
and shall add the certificate as provided at former sessions. And there-
upon, and during the forenoon of the next day, said judges shall return
the two registers to the possession of the board of election commissioners ;
and thereupon, the said board of commissioners shall at once cause
copies to be made of such registers of all names upon the same with the
address, not marked erased, and shall have the same arranged according
to the streets, avenues, courts or alleys, commencing with the lowest
number, and arranging the same in order according to the street num-
bers, and shall then cause such precinct register, under such arrange-
ment, to be printed in plain, large type in sufficient numbers to meet
all demands, and upon application a copy of the same shall be given
to any person in such precinct.

§ 13. The County Court of the county in which such city, village
or incorporated town shall be located, shall, on Friday and Saturday of
the week prior to the week in which such election is to be held, especially
sit to hear such applications as shall be made to it to be placed upon
the register in any particular precinct. Such applications shall be sworn
to, and shall state that the party making the same has applied to the
board of registry of the precinct, or to the board of election commis-
sioners, as the case may be, and that one or both boards refused to place
him upon such registry, or has stricken his name from such registry, as
the case may be. Application shall be made on or before the opening
of the court on the Friday last aforesaid, and the court shall cause a
docket of such applications to be made out, arranged by wards and
precincts, and the same shall be heard summarily and evidence may be
introduced for and against such applications. Each case shall be de-
cided at once on hearing, and the clerk of the court shall make a minute

524 ' ELECTIONS

of the disposition of each application; a copy of such minute shall at
once be given to said commissioners, who shall forthwith cause such
names to be placed upon the appropriate register, and indicate that it
was entered by order of court. After the entry of the applications, so
allowed by said court, no further change shall be permitted, and the
appropriate stamp prepared shall be affixed to the end of each page of
names in each precinct registered by said board of commissioners. Said
books of registry so prepared shall, on the day prior to the election, be
delivered to the judges of election, one only, however, to be delivered
to the judge or judges representing the same political party. No person
admitted to the registry by order of such court or such board shall be
protected by such order in case he should be indicted for false registra-
tion or false voting.

§ 26. On the next day after election day said registers shall be
returned to the board of election commissioners, and in case any register
of any precinct shall be lost or mutilafed, said board of election commis-
sioners shall cause a true copy to be made from the other register. This
section is made applicable, and it shall be the duty of the judges of
election to observe it, after each and every election.

§ 32. All affidavits left with the judges of election at any registra-
tion, revision of registration or election shall be immediately returned
to the office of the election commissioners. Said affidavits, before being
so returned, must be enclosed in an envelope provided for that purpose,
which shall then be securely sealed with sealing wax or other adhesive

the chief clerk of the election commissioner's office. Such envelope shall
not be opened by the judges of election until the beginning of the
session of registration, revision or election at which the registers are to
be used, and shall only be opened when all of the judges are present.
Immediately at the close of any registration, revision or election, the
said registers shall be enclosed in an envelope provided for that purpose
and securely sealed with sealing wax or other adhesive material, and
each of the judges and each of the election clerks shall write his name

precinct and ward of the enclosed registers and the signature of the
judge who delivered the same to the election commissioners. If any

herein provided.

(a) It shall be the duty of the Industrial Commission upon noti-
fication that the parties have failed to reach an agreement, to designate
an arbitrator: Provided, that if the compensation claimed is for a
partial permanent or total permanent incapacity or for death, then the
dispute may, at the election of either party, be determined by a com-
mittee of arbitration, which election for determination by a' committee
shall be made by petitioner filing with the commission his election in
writing with his petition or by the other party filing with the commis-
sion his election in wilting within five clays of notice to him of the
filing of the petition, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Indus-
trial Commission, upon either of the parties having filed their election
for a committee of arbitration as above provided, to notify both parties
to appoint their respective representatives on the committee of arbitra-

committee of arbitration appointed by either of the parties or one
appointed by the commission to fill a vacancy by reason of the failure of
one of the parties to appoint, shall not be a member of the commission
or an employee thereof.

(b) The arbitrator or committee of arbitration shall make such
inquiries and investigations as he or they deem necessary, and may

parties may submit. The hearings before the arbitrator or committee
of arbitration shall be held in the vicinity where the injury occurred,
after ten days' notice of the time and place of such hearing shall have
been given to each of the parties or their attorneys of record. The
decision of the arbitrator or committee of arbitration shall be filed with
the Industrial Commission, which commission shall immediately send
to each party or his attorney a copy of such decision, together with a
notification of the time when it was filed, and unless a petition for a
review is filed by either party within fifteen days after the receipt by
said party of the copy of said decision and notification of time when
filed, and unless such party petitioning for a review shall within twenty
days after the receipt by him of the copy of said decision, file with the
commission either an agreed statement of the facts appearing upon the
hearing before the arbitrator or committee of arbitration, or if such
party "shall so elect, a correct stenographic report of the proceedings at
such hearings, then the decision shall become the decision of the In-
dustrial Commission and in the absence of fraud shall be conclusive:
Provided, that such Industrial Commission may for sufficient cause
shown grant further time, not exceeding thirty days, in which to peti-
tion for such review or to file such agreed statement or stenographic
report. Such agreed statement of facts or correct stenographic report,
as the case may be, shall be authenticated by the signatures of the par-
ties or their attorneys and in the event they do not agree as to the cor-
rectness of the stenographic report it shall be authenticated by the sig-
nature of the arbitrator designated by the commission.

(c) The Industrial Commission may appoint, at its own expense,
a duly qualified, impartial physician to examine the injured employee
and report to the commission. The fee for this service shall not ex-
ceed five dollars and traveling expenses, but the commission may allow
additional reasonable amounts in extraordinary cases. The fees and
the payment thereof of all attorneys and physicians for services

(d) If any employee shall persist in insanitary or injurious
practices which tend to either imperil or retard his recovery or shall
refuse to submit to such medical or surgical treatment as is reasonably
essential to promote his recovery, the commission may, in its discretion,
reduce or suspend the compensation of any such injured employee.

(e) If a petition for review and agreed statement of facts or
stenographic report is filed, as provided herein, the Industrial Com-
mission shall promptly review the decision of the arbitrator or com-
mittee of arbitration and all questions of law or fact which appear
from the said statement of facts or stenographic report, and such ad-
ditional evidence as the parties may submit. After such hearing upon
review, the commission shall file in its office its decision thereon, and
shall immediately send to each party or his attorney a copy of such
decision and a notification of the time when it was filed.

Such review and hearing may be held in its office or elsewhere
as the commission may deem advisable : Provided, that the taking of
testimony on such hearing may be had before any member of the com-
mission and in the event either of the parties may desire an argument
before others of the commission such argument may be had upon
written demand therefor filed with the commission within five days
after the commencement of such taking of testimony, in which event
such argument shall be had before not less than a majority of the
commission : Provided, that the commission shall give ten days' notice
to the parties or their attorneys of the time and place of such taking
of testimony and of such argument.

In any case the commission in its decision may in its discretion
find specially upon any question or questions of law or fact which
shall be submitted in writing by either party, whether ultimate or
otherwise. Any party may, within twenty days after receipt of notice
of the commission's decision, or within such further time, not exceeding
thirty days, as the commission may grant, file with the commission
either an agreed statement of the facts appearing upon the hearing, or,
if such party shall so elect a correct stenographic report of the addi-
tional proceedings presented before the commission, in which report the
party may embody a correct statement of such other proceedings in the
case as such party may desire to have reviewed, such statement of facts
or stenographic report to be authenticated by the signature of the
parties or their attorneys, and in the event that they do not agree, then
the authentication of such stenographic report shall be by the signature
of any member of the commission. The applications for adjustment of
claim and other documents in the nature of pleadings filed by either
party, together with the decisions of the arbitrator and of the Industrial
commission and the statement of facts or stenographic reports herein-
before provided for in paragraphs (b) and (c) shall be the record of the
proceedings of said commission, and shall be subject to review as here-
inafter provided.

(f) The decision of the Industrial Commission, acting within its
powers, according to the provisions of paragraph (e) of this section

548 EMPLOYMENT.

shall, in the absence of fraud, be conclusive, unless reviewed as in this
paragraph hereinafter provided.

(1) The Circuit Court of the county wnere any of the parties de-
fendant may be found shall by writ of certiorari to the Industrial Com-
mission have power to review all questions of law presented by such
record, except such as arise in a proceeding in. which under paragraph
(b) of this section a decision of the arbitrator or committee of arbi-
tration has become the decision of the Industrial Commission. Such
writ shall be issued by the clerk of such court upon praecipe. Service
upon any member of the Industrial Commission or the secretary thereof
shall be service on the commission and service upon other parties in-
terested shall be by scire facias, or service may be made upon said
commission and other parties in interest by mailing notice of the com-
mencement of the proceedings and the return day of the writ to the
office of said commission and the last known place of residence of the
other parties in interest at least ten days before the return day of said
writ. Such suit by writ of certiorari shall be commenced within twenty
days of the receipt of notice of the decision of the commission.

The Industrial Commission shall not be required to certify the
record of their proceedings to the Circuit Court, unless the party com-
mencing the proceedings for review in the Circuit Court, as above pro-
vided, shall pay to the commission the sum of five cents per one hundred
words of testimony taken before said commission and three cents per
one hundred words of all other matters contained in such record.

(2) ISTo such writ of certiorari shall issue unless the one against
whom the Industrial Commission shall have rendered an award for the
payment of money shall upon the filing of his praecipe for such writ
filed with the clerk of said court a bond conditioned that if he shall not
successfully prosecute said writ, he will pay the said award, and the costs
of the proceedings in said court. The amount of the bond shall be fixed
by any member of the Industrial Commission and the surety or sureties
on said bond shall be approved by the clerk of said court.

The court may confirm or set aside the decision of the Industrial
Commission. If the decision is set aside and the facts found in the
proceedings before the commission are sufficient, the court may enter
such decision as is justified by law, or may remand the cause to the
Industrial Commission for further proceedings, and may state the ques-
tions requiring further hearing, and give such other instructions as may

the Industrial Commission : Provided, that in the event such party has
not filed his address, or the name and address of an agent, as above
provided, service of any notice may be had by filing such notice with
the Industrial Commission.

(j) Whenever in any proceeding testimony has been taken or a
final decision has been rendered, and after the taking of such testi-
mony, or after such decision has become final, the injured employee
dies, then in any subsequent proceeding brought by the personal repre-
sentative or beneficiaries of the deceased employee, such testimony in
the former proceeding may be introduced with the same force and effect
as though the witness having so testified were present in person in such
subsequent proceeding and such final decision, if any shall be taken as
a final adjudication of any of the issues which are the same in both
proceedings.

(k) In any case where there has been any unreasonable or vexa-
tious delay of payment or intentional underpayment of compensation, or
proceedings have been instituted or carried on by the one liable to pay
the compensation, which do not present a real controversy, but are merely
frivolous or for delay, then the commission may award compensation
additional to that otherwise payable under this Act equal to fifty per-
centnm of the amount payable at the time of such award.

§ 21. No payment, claim, award or decision under this Act shall

compensation under this Act, or a written agreement by an employer

for in section 7, leaving surviving a parent, sister or brother of the de-
ceased employee, at the time of his death dependent upon him for sup-
port, who were receiving from such beneficiary a contribution to sup-
port, then that proportion of the compensation of the beneficiary which
would have been paid but for the death of the benificiary, but in no
event exceeding said unpaid compensation, Avhich the contribution of
the beneficiary to the dependent's support within one year prior to the
death of the beneficiary bears to the compensation of the beneficiary
within that year, shall be continued for the benefit of such dependents,
notwithstanding the death of the beneficiary.

§ 24. No proceedings for compensation under this Act shall be
maintained unless notice of the accident has been given to the em-
ployer as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days after the ac-
cident. In cases of mental incapacity of the employee, notice must be
given within six months after such accident. No defect or inaccuracy
of such notice shall be a bar to the maintenance of proceedings by arbi-
tration or otherwise by the employee, unless the employer proves that
he is unduly prejudiced in such proceedings by such defect or inac-
curacy. Notice of the accident shall state the name and address of the
employee injured, the approximate date and place Of the accident, if
known, and in simple language the cause thereof; which notice may be
served personally or by registered mail, addressed to the employer at
his last known residence or place of business : Provided, that the failure
on the part of any person entitled to such compensation to give such
notice shall not relieve the employer from his liability for such com-
pensation, when the facts and circumstances of such accident are known
to such employer, his agent or vice principal in the enterprise. No
proceedings for compensation under this Act shall be maintained unless
claim for compensation has been made within six months after the ac-
cident, or in the event that payments have been made under the pro-
visions of this Act unless written claim for compensation has been made
within six months after such payments have ceased and a receipt there-
for or a statement of the amount of compensation paid shall- have been
'filed with the commission: Provided, that no employee who after the
accident returns to the emplo}anent of the employer in whose services
he was injured shall be barred for failure to make such claim if an
application for adjustment of such claim is filed with the Industrial
Commission within eignteen months after he returns to such employ-
ment and the said commission shall give notice to the employer of the
filing of such application in the manner provided in this Act.

the commission shall send to the employer written notice of its approval
thereof. The filing with the commission of evidence of compliance with

(c) Whenever the Industrial Commission shall find that any cor-
poration, company, association, aggregation of individuals, or other
insurer affecting workmen's compensation insurance in this State shall
be insolvent, financially unsound, or unable to fully meet all payments
and liabilities assumed or to be assumed for compensation insurance
in this State, or shall practice a policy of delay or unfairness toward
employees in the adjustment, settlement, or payment of benefits due
such employees, the said Industrial Commission may after reasonable
notice and hearing order and direct that such corporation, company,
association, aggregation of individuals, or insurer, shall from and after
a date fixed in such order discontinue the writing of any such work-
men's compensation insurance in this State. Subject to such modifica-
tion of said order as the commission may later make on review of said
order, as herein provided, it shall thereupon be unlawful for any such
corporation, company, association, aggregation of individuals, or in-
surer to effect any workmen's compensation insurance in this State.
Any such order made by said Industrial Commission shall be subject
to review by the courts, as in the case of other orders of said Industrial
Commission, provided that upon said review the Circuit Court shall
have power to review all questions of fact as well as of law.

provisions of paragraph (a) of this section shall be deemed a mis-
demeanor punishable by a fine equal to ten cents per each employee
of such employer, at the time of such failure or neglect, but not less

in regard to guardians and wards," approved April 10, 1872, in force
July 1, 1872, as amended, is amended by amending sections 2, 13, 15,
16, 24, 25, 29 and 47 thereof, and by adding thereto five new sections,
to be known as sections 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55, the amended and added
sections to read as follows:

§ 2. The County Courts in their respective counties may, when it
shall appear necessary or convenient, appoint guardians of minors, in-
habitants of or residents in the same county, and to such as reside out
of this State and have an estate within the same, in the county where
the real estate or some part thereof may lie; or if he has no real estate,
then in any county where he may have personal property; provided, no
non-resident of this State shall be appointed under this Act as guardian.

§ 13. The inventory shall describe the real estate, its probable
value and rental, how derived and state whether the same is encumbered,
and if encumbered, how and for how much; what amount of money is
on hand ; and contain a list of all personal property, including annuities
and credits of the ward, and in case of notes, bonds or other securities,
giving the rate of interest, to what date interest has been paid, when due
and how secured, designating them as "good", "doubtful," or "desperate,"
as the case may be.

§ 15. At the expiration of his trust, or sooner if the court shall
direct, the guardian shall pay and deliver to those entitled thereto, all
the property, money, estate and title papers in his hands as guardian, or
with which he is chargeable as such. Whenever any ward, of whose estate
a guardian is appointed under this Act, shall die, seized or possessed of or
interested in any real or personal estate, then such guardian shall have
full power and authority under the letters issued to him or her, and
subject to the direction of the County Court to make final settlement and
distribution of the estate of such deceased ward without further letters
of administration in such time and manner as is required by law of
administrators of the estates of deceased persons.

§ 16. On any accounting and final settlement of the guardian,
he shall exhibit and file his account as such guardian setting forth
specifically, in separate items, on what account expenditures were made
by him, and all sums received and paid out since his last accounting,
and of all moneys due his ward from all sources, and of all money on
hand, and an itemized account of all notes, bonds, accounts and evi-
dences of indebtedness composing the personal estate of his ward, and
said guardian shall produce and exhibit to the court the notes, bonds,
accounts and evidences of indebtedness so itemized, and it is hereby
made the duty of the court to inspect the assets so exhibited. Such ac-
count shall be accompanied by proper vouchers and signed by him and
verified by his affidavit.

If the guardian shall fail to present a full, complete and true ac-
count, as required by law, the County Court shall have full power to
state such an account, which account so stated by the court, when en-
tered of record, shall be binding and conclusive against such guardian,
and the surety or sureties on his bond or bonds; subject, however, to
the right of appeal as in other cases.

584 GUARDIANS AND WAEDS.

The County Courts of this State shall enforce the settlements of
estates within the time prescribed by law, and upon the failure of the
guardian to make settlement, as provided by law, the court shall order
a citation to issue to the sheriff of the county where the guardian re-
sides, or may be found, requiring said guardian to appear at a time to
be fixed by the court and make settlement of the estate or show cause why
the same is not done; and if the guardian fails to appear at the time
required by such citation, the court shall order an attachment requir-
ing the sheriff of the county where the guardian resides or may be
found, to bring the body of said guardian before the court; and upon
a failure of the guardian to make settlement under the order of the
court after having been so attached, he may be dealt with as for con-
tempt, and shall be forthwith removed by the court, and some discreet
person appointed in his stead; the costs of such citation or attachment
to be paid by the delinquent guardian, and the court shall enter a judg-
ment therefor, and a fee bill and execution may issue thereon.

§ 24. The guardian may, by leave of the County Court, mort-
gage the real estate of the ward for a term of years not exceeding the
minority of the ward, -or in fee; but the time of the maturity of the
indebtedness secured by such mortgage shall not be extended beyond
the time of minority of the ward.

The guardian of the estate of a minor may, by leave of the County
Court, join, on behalf of said board, with the husband or wife of said
ward, in the execution and delivery of any mortgage or deed of trust
in the nature of a mortgage, upon such husband's or wife's real estate,
and release, for the benefit only of such mortgage or deed of trust in
the nature of a mortgage, the dower and homestead interest of said
ward in said real estate.

§ 25. Before any mortgage shall be made, or joined in by the
guardian, pursuant to the preceding section, the guardian shall petition
the County or Probate Court of the county where the ward resides, or
if the ward does not reside in the State, then of the county where
the real estate or some part of it is situated, as the case may be,
for an order authorizing such mortgage to be made, or authoriz-
ing the guardian to join therein as above provided, in which petition
shall be set out the condition of the estate, and the facts and circum-
stances on which the petition is founded, and a description of the
premises sought to be mortgaged. The petition shall be signed by the
guardian and verified by his affidavit, and shall be filed at least ten
days before a hearing shall be had thereon. Notice of such applica-
tion shall be given at least ten days before the hearing thereof to
"All Persons Concerned" by publication in some newspaper published
in the county where the application is made at least once or by setting up
written or printed notices in four of the most public places in the
county and the ward shall be served with a copy of such notice in the
manner provided for service of summons in suits in chancery. Such
application shall be docketed as other causes, and the petition may be
amended, heard or continued for further notice, or for other cause.

GUARDIANS AND WARDS. 585

The practice in such cases shall be the same as in other cases in
chancery. It shall be the duty of the guardian after making or join-
ing in such mortgage, as soon as may be, to make a report of his
action to the court granting the order which, if approved, shall be re-
corded and vest in the mortgagee a good and valid lien on the minor's
interest in the mortgaged premises for the full amount of such mort-
gage. The word "mortgage" as used in this Act shall include a trust
deed and any instrument in the nature of a mortgage.

§ 29. The petition shall set forth the facts and circumstances
on which the petition is founded, the condition of the estate, a par-
ticular description of the real estate sought to be sold, the interest of
the ward therein, and the nature and extent of all liens upon, and
other interest, if any, in said real estate, so far as the same may be
known to the petitioner. The petition shall be signed by the guardian
and verified by his affidavit, and shall be filed at least ten days before
the commencement of the term of court, at which the application shall
be made.

§ 47. Where any person residing in any other state of the United
States, or any 'territory thereof, or in any foreign country, shall have
been or may hereafter be appointed guardian, in the state, territory
or country in which such person resides, of any infant or other person
owning real estate within this State, not having a guardian in this
State, it shall and may be lawful for every such guardian to file his
or her petition in the Circuit, County or Probate Court of the county
in which said real estate, or the major part thereof, may lie, for sale
of said real estate, for the purpose of educating, and supporting such
infant or other person, or for the purpose of investing the proceeds of
such real estate, or for such other purpose as the court which appointed
such guardian may order and direct ; and the said Circuit, County
or Probate Court is hereby fully authorized and empowered to order
a sale of such real estate, conformably to the prayer of said petition:
Provided, that every such guardian applying for such sale shall file
with his or her petition an authenticated copy of his or her letters of
guardianship; and, provided, further, that the said Circuit, County
or Probate Court shall make no order for sale under said petition, until
the said guardian shall have executed and filed, in the court which
appointed said guardian, a bond, with sufficient security, approved by
said last mentioned court, for the due and faithful application of the
proceeds of every such sale, in such manner as the said last mentioneed
["mentioned] court may direct, an authenticated copy of which said bond,
and the approval thereof, shall be deemed and taken by the Circuit,
County or Probate Court as sufficient evidence of the execution and filing
of the same. The proceeding and practice and the powers of the court
in such case shall be the same, as near as ma}r be, as is provided by
law in cases of applications and proceedings by resident guardians to
sell lands of their wards.

§ 51. Whenever real estate is about to be sold by virtue of the
decree of any court in this State, in which any minor has an estate
of homestead, dower or any other interest whatever, the guardian of

586 GUARDIANS AND WARDS.

the estate of such minor may petition the court wherein such proceed-
ings are or may be pending, appointing such guardian for authority
to assent in behalf of his ward to the sale of such minor's homestead
estate or dower, or other interest in the real estate so sought to be
sold, and if the court shall find that the interests of such minor will
be conserved thereby, or that it is to the best interest of said minor
that the said interest in said real estate be sold, it shall be lawful for
the court to enter an order so authorizing said guardian to assent to
the sale of said minor's homestead, dower, and any and all other in-
terests of said minor in such real estate, and said guardian shall then
so assent in writing in the proceeding for such sale, whereupon it shall
be lawful for the court wherein such proceeding to sell such real estate
is or may be pending to enter an order, or embody in its decree a pro-
vision, directing such real estate to be sold free and clear of said
minor's homestead estate or dower, and any and all other estate and
interest of said minor in such real estate or any part thereof; and
the conveyance pursuant to such decree, shall be valid and effectual
to convey to the purchaser the homestead estate, dower and any and
all other interest of such minor in and to the real estate so conveyed;
provided, that before any disposition or distribution of the proceeds
of such sale, the court shall ascertain the fair cash value of said home-
stead estate, dower and other interest, if any, of said minor in said
real estate, which shall be paid over to his guardian, less any portion
of the costs of the proceeding equitably chargeable to said minor's in-
terest in such proceeds of such sale.

§ 52. If any guardian of the estate of a minor, or any other
person interested in said minor or his estate, or any other person shall
state upon oath, to any County Court, that he believes that any person
has in his possession or control, or has concealed, converted or em-
bezzled, any goods, chattels, moneys or effects, books of account, papers
or any evidence of debt whatever, or titles to lands, belonging to said
minor; or that he believes that any person has any knowledge or in-
formation of or concerning any indebtedness or evidences of indebted-
ness, or property, titles or effects, belonging to such minor, which
knowledge or information is necessary to the recovery of the same, by
suit or otherwise, by the guardian of said minor, or said minor, and
that such person refuses to give to the guardian such knowledge or in-
formation, the court shall require such person to appear before it by
citation, and may examine him on oath, and hear the testimony of such
guardian, and other evidence offered by either party, and make such
order in the premises as the case may require.

§ 53. If any such person so cited, refuses to answer such proper
interrogatories as may be propounded to him, or refuses to deliver up
such property or effects, or in case the same has been converted, the
proceeds or value thereof, upon a requisition being made for that pur-
pose by an order of the said court, such court may commit such person '
to jail until he shall comply with the order of the court therein.

§ 54. It shall be lawful for any peraon having a claim or demand
against a minor who has a guardian of his estate appointed under this

GUARDIANS AND WARDS.

587

Act, to file the same in the office of the clerk of the court appointing
such guardian; which claim shall be itemized and give the date of each
item and be verified by the oath of the claimant and, unless the guardian
of the estate of said minor waives the issuance of process, the clerk of
the court shall issue a summons directed to the sheriff of the county
where such guardian resides, requiring such guardian to appear and
defend such claim at any clay of any term of court, fixed by the court,
not less than ten days nor more than thirty days from the service of
such summons, whereupon or at such time thereafter as the court may
fix, the court may proceed to hear the same, as in cases of claims against
the estate of deceased persons, and the practice in the hearing of such
claims and demands shall be the same, as near as may be as the practice
in the trials of claims filed against the estates of decedents, in the
County Court, and the court may dismiss the claim, or allow the same in
whole or in part, or make any other order therein, as may be just and
equitable, and order the same to be paid by the guardian as he shall have
funds applicable thereto; nothing herein shall be construed to abrogate
any of the legal defenses of a minor according to law. Either party
may' demand a jury of six or twelve men to try the issue and it shall be
the duty of the County or Probate Court where a jury is demanded to
issue a venire to the sheriff of the county to summon a jury, to be com-
posed of the number demanded. When a claim is filed, in the County
Court against the estate of a minor, and it appears on the trial thereof
that such claimant is indebted to said minor, the said court may give
judgment against the claimant therefor and execution may issue thereon
in favor of the guardian or said minor; provided, nothing in this section
shall exclude the jurisdiction of other courts.

§ 55. Depositions of witnesses in proceedings under this Act shall
be taken in the same manner, as near as may be, as is now or may here-
after be provided by law for the depositions of such witnesses in suits
at law or in chancery.

588 GUARDIANS AND WARDS.

§ 28. On the petition of the guardian, the County Court of the
county where the ward resides, or if the ward does not reside in the
State, of the county where the real estate, or some part of it is situated,
may order the sale of the real estate of the ward, or of the right to mine
and obtain any mineral or the right to drill and obtain oil or gas from
the land of the ward, for his support and education, when the court
shall deem it necessary or to invest the proceeds in other real estate or
for the purpose of otherwise investing the same : Provided, the said
County Court shall make no order for a sale under said petition until
the said guardian shall have executed and filed a bond, payable to the
People of the State of Illinois, with at least two sufficient sureties, to be
approved by the court, in double the value of the real estate or mining
rights by said petition sought to be sold, conditioned for the clue and
faithful accounting for, and disposition of the proceeds of all real estate
or mining rights that may be sold by him under such order, in the
manner provided by law; provided, further that in case of the sale of
any mining right of a ward upon a royalty basis and not for a lump sum,
the bond herein provided for shall be for such sum as the court may
direct; which bond may be put in suit in the name of the People of the
State of Illinois, to the use of any person entitled to recover on a breach
thereof, and damages assessed and proceedings* had thereon as in other
cases of penal bonds. And the court may also investigate and determine
all questions of conflicting or controverted titles arising between any
of the parties to such proceeding, and may remove clouds from the title
to any real estate or mining right sought to be sold or mortgaged, and
invest purchasers or mortgagees with a good and indefeasible title to the
premises sold or mortgaged.

§ 32. ISTo lands or tenements or mining rights shall be sold by
virtue of any order or decree of the County or Probate Court unless
such sale is at public vendue and between the hours of ten o'clock in the
forenoon and five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, nor unless
the time, place and terms of holding such sale were previously published
for the space of four weeks by posting up notices thereof in at least four
of the most public places in the county where such real estate shall be
sold, and also by causing a similar notice thereof to be published four
successive weeks prior to the sale, in some newspaper published in such
county, or if there be no such newspaper, then in such other newspaper
in this State as the court shall direct, nor unless such real estate or
mining rights shall be described with common certainty in such notices.
And the court may direct the sale to be made on reasonable credit and
when mining rights only are sold the court may direct the sale thereof
to be made either upon a royalty basis or for a lump sum in such man-
ner and upon such terms as may appear to the court to be for the best
interest of the ward and may require such security of the guardian or
purchaser as the interests of the ward may require.

a drunkard or spendthrift or otherwise incompetent, as defined in this
Act, the County Court of the county wherein such person resides, or
if such person resides out of this State and has an estate within this
State, then, the County Court of the county where his real estate or
a part thereof may lie, or if such non-resident has no real estate in
this State then the County Court of the county where he may have
personal property, shall, on the proper petition of any reputable citizen
of such county, for the appointment of a conservator of the person or
estate (or both) of such person, proceed in the manner hereinafter
provided, to ascertain whether such person be an insane person, who,
by reason of unsoundness of mind, is incapable of managing and caring
for his own estate, a drunkard, spendthrift or incompetent as afore-
said: Provided, that in any county wherein a Probate Court is or
hereafter may be established, such application shall be made to said
Probate Court.

§ 2. On any petition for the appointment of a conservator of
any person being filed, the court shall set said cause for hearing, sum-
mons shall be issued returnable on any day of the term, and service
thereof shall be had upon the person for whom a conservator is sought
to be appointed, in the same manner by summons or otherwise as
service is had in chancery, excepting that where personal service of
such summons is had, such service shall be had at least three days
before the return day of such summons. At the time fixed for the
hearing, a jury of six persons (or at the request of either the peti-
tioner or the respondent twelve persons) shall be empaneled to try the
case. The court may, for 2;ood cause, continue the case from time to
time. If any person be found to be an insane person, as defined in this
Act, who by reason of such condition, is incapable of managing or
caring for his estate, or a drunkard, spendthrift or incompetent person,
as defined by this Act, it shall be the duty of the court to _ appoint a

as trials at law in the Circuit Court, except as otherwise provided in
this Act. Upon the return of the finding of the jury, the court shall cause
the same to be recorded at large by the clerk of the court, and unless

in such causes may be made orally and when so made shall be entered
upon the records.

§ 10. On every accounting or final settlement of a conservator,
he shall exhibit and file his account as such conservator, setting forth,
specifically, in separate items, on what account expenditures were made
by him, and all sums received and paid out since his last accounting,
and on what account each was received and paid out, and showing the
true balance of money on hand — and an itemized account of all notes,

bonds, investments, accounts and evidences of indebtedness composing
the personal estate of his ward and said conservator shall produce and
exhibit to the- court, the notes, bonds, investments, accounts and evi-
dences of indebtedness so itemized, and it is hereby made the duty
of the court to inspect the assets so exhibited. Such account shall be
accompanied by the proper vouchers and be signed by the conservator
and verified by his affidavit.

If the conservator shall fail to present a full, complete and true
account, as required by law, the County Court shall have full power to
state such an account, which account so stated by the court, when en-
tered of record, shall be binding and conclusive against such conserva-
tor and the surety or sureties on his bond or bonds ; subject, however, to
the right of appeal as in other cases.

may be found, to bring the body of said conservator before the court;
and upon a failure of the conservator to make settlement under the
order of the court after having been so attached, he may be dealt with
as for contempt, and shall be forthwith removed by the court, and some
discreet person appointed in his stead; the costs of such citation or
attachment to be paid by the delinquent conservator, and the court
shall enter a judgment therefor, and a fee bill and execution may issue
thereon.

§ 18. It shall be the duty of the conservator to place and keep
his ward's money at interest, upon security to be approved by the court,
by investing, on approval of the court, the same in United States bonds
or in the bonds of any state, county, city or municipality, which are
not issued in aid of railroads and where the laws do not permit said
counties, cities or municipalities to become indebted in excess of five
per cent of the assessed valuation of property for taxation therein, and
where the total indebtedness of such county, city or municipality does
not exceed five per cent of the assessed valuation of property for taxa-
tion at the time of such investment. Personal security may be taken
for loans not exceeding $100. Loans upon real estate shall be secured
by first mortgage, or trust deed thereon and not to exceed one-half
the value thereof. All loans shall 'be subject to the approval of the
court. The conservator shall be chargeable with interest upon any
money which he shall wrongfully or negligently allow to remain in
bis hands uninvested, after the same might have been invested.

§ 20. The conservator may, by leave of the court, mortgage the
real estate of the ward for a term of years, or in fee.

conservator pursuant to the preceding section, the conservator shall
petition the County or Probate Court appointing such conservator, for
an order authorizing such mortgage to be made, or authorizing the
conservator to join in a mortgage as above provided, in which petition
shall be set out the condition of the estate and the facts and circum-
stances on which the petition is founded, and a description of the
premises sought to be mortgaged. The petition shall be signed by the
conservator and verified by his affidavit.

If the court shall grant to the conservator the authority prayed
for, it shall be the duty of the conservator after making, or joining
in such mortgage, as soon as may be, to make a report of his action
to the court granting the authority, which, if approved, shall be re-
corded and vest in the mortgagee a good and valid lien on the ward's
interest in the mortgaged premises for the full amount of such mort-
gage. The word "mortgage" as used in this Act shall include a trust
deed and any instrument in the nature of a mortgage.

§ 24. The petition shall set forth the facts and circumstances
on which the petition is founded, the condition of the estate, a par-
ticular description of the real estate sought to be sold, the interest of
the ward therein, and the nature and extent of all liens upon, and
other interest, if any, in said real estate, so far as the same may be
known to the petitioner. The petition shall be signed by the conserva-
tor and verified by his affidavit, and shall be filed at least ten days
before the commencement of the term of court at which the application
shall be made.

§ 26. Such petition shall be docketed as other causes, and the
petition may be amended, heard or continued for notice or other cause,
and the practice in such cases shall be the same as in cases in chancery.

petition sought to be sold, conditioned for the due and faithful account-
ing for and distribution of the proceeds of real estate that may be
sold by him or her under such order, in the manner provided by law,
which bond may be put in suit in the name of the People of the State
of Illinois, to the use of a,ny person or persons entitled to recover on a
breach thereof, and damages assessed and proceedings had thereon as
in other cases of penal bonds.

§ 27. No lands or tenements shall be sold by any conservator
by virtue of any order or decree of the County Court unless such
sale is at public vendue and between the hours of ten o'clock in the
forenoon and five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day. nor

thereof in at least four of the most public places in the county where
such real estate shall be sold, and also by causing a similar notice
thereof to be published once each week for four successive weeks prior
to the sale, in some newspaper published in such county, or if there
be no newspaper published in such county, then in such other newspaper
published in this State as the court shall direct, nor unless such real
estate shall be described with common certainty in such notices. And
the court may direct the sale to be made on reasonable credit and
require such security of the purchaser as the interests of the ward,
and other parties in interest, may require.

§ 28. It shall be the duty of the conservator making such sale,
on or before the first day of the next term of the court thereafter, to
file in the office of the clerk of the court granting the order for such
sale, a complete report of said sale, giving a description of the premises
sold, to whom, where and upon what terms sold, and a general state-
ment of the manner in which the terms of the decree were executed.

•report, and upon the hearing thereof the court may approve such re-
port and confirm the sale, or disapprove the same and order the
premises to be resold.

§ 29. An account of all moneys and securities received by any
conservator for the sale of real estate of his ward, or in which his ward
had any interest, together with moneys and securities received by any
conservator for the sale of real estate in which any party to the pro-
ceedings had any interest, shall be returned, on oath of such conserva-
tor, to the County Court of the county where letters of conservatorship
were obtained, and such money and securities shall be accounted for
and distribution made under order of the court, as to all interests in
or liens upon said real estate sold, as shall to equity appertain, and the
ward's portion of such proceeds shall be subject 'to the order of the
court, in like manner as other moneys and securities belonging to such
ward. In case of sale for re-investment in this State, the ward's
money received on account of said sale shall be re-invested under the
direction of the court.

§ 42. It shall be lawful for any foreign conservator, guardian,
curator or committee of any non-resident insane person, spendthrift,
drunkard, or incompetent, who shall obtain an order from the proper
court in the state, territory or country in which such conservator, guar-
dian, curator or committee was appointed, authorizing him to make
application for the sale of his ward's real estate or personal property
in this State, upon filing a certified copy of such order for record in
the office of the clerk of the Circuit or County Court of the county in
this State in which the property or the major part thereof is situated,
to petition such court to obtain an order authorizing such conservator,
guardian, curator or committee to sell and transfer any such prop-
erty or interest therein, belonging to any insane person, spendthrift,
drunkard, or incompetent, and to make deeds and conveyances there-
of; which deeds and conveyances executed and acknowledged in pur-
suance of the laws of this State, or of the state, territory or country

in which such conservator, guardian, curator or committee was ap-
pointed, shall be effectual in law and equity to pass to the grantee or
grantees therein all the right, title and interest of such insane person,
spendthrift, drunkard, or incompetent therein. The court ordering the
sale may authorize any person to act as auctioneer of the property,
but the deed shall be executed by the conservator, guardian, curator
or committee. The proceeding and practice and the powers of the
court in such case shall be the same as near as may be, as is provided
by law in cases of the application and proceedings by resident con-
servators to sell lands of their wards.

§ 44. The said Circuit or County Court may, in its discretion,
require such conservator, curator, guardian, or committee to file a bond,
with sufficient securities, conditioned for the faithful application of the
money which may be received for any such property, for the benefit,
and to the use of such insane person, spendthrift, drunkard or incom-
petent.

§ 46. Whenever real estate is about to be sold by virtue of the
decree1 of any court in this State, in which any insane person, spend-
thrift, drunkard or incompetent, has an estate of homestead or dower,
or any other interest or estate whatever, the conservator of such insane
person, spendthrift, drunkard or incompetent, may petition the court
wherein such proceedings are or may be pending, or the court appoint-
ing such conservator, for authority to assent in behalf of his ward
to the sale of the homestead, dower, or any and all estate or interest
of his ward in the real estate so sought to be sold; and if the court
shall find that the interests of such ward will be conserved thereby,
it shall be lawful for the court to enter an order so authorizing such
conservator to assent to the sale, of the homestead, dower and any
and all other estate or interest of his ward, in such real estate, or any
part thereof, and said conservator shall then so assent in writing in
the proceeding for such sale; whereupon it shall be lawful for the
court wherein such proceeding to sell such real estate is, or may be
pending to enter an order or embody in its decree a provision, direct-
ing such real estate to be sold free and clear of the homestead, dower,
and any and all other estate and interest of such ward, in such real
estate, or any part thereof; and the conveyance pursuant to such de-
cree, shall be valid and effectual to convey to the purchaser the home-
stead, dower, and any and all other estate or interest of said ward,
in and to such real estate so conveyed or any part thereof; provided,
that before any disposition or distribution of the proceeds of such sale,
the court shall ascertain the fair cash value 'of said homestead, dower,
and any and all other estate or interest of such ward, in such real
estate, which shall be paid over to his conservator, less any portion of
the costs of proceeding equitably chargeable to his ward's interest in
such proceeds of such sale.

§ 47. Whenever the ward is the owner of an estate in dower,
in any real estate, the conservator of such ward may petition the
court in which the estate of his ward is being administered for author-
ity to sell the ward's said estate in dower in such real estate; and if
the court shall find that the interests of such ward will be conserved

business of casualty insurance in this State, whether organized within
or without this State, the Department of Trade and Commerce, herein
called "Department" shall charge as liabilities all outstanding indebted-
ness and the premium reserve on policies in force equal to the unearned
portions of the gross premiums charged for covering the risks computed
on each respective risk from the date of issuance of the policy; pro-
vided, however, that this bill shall not apply to any such corporation,
company or association operating in this State under the provisions of
an Act entitled, 'vAn Act to incorporate companies to do the business
of life or accident insurance of this State and of other states doing
business in this State, and to repeal a certain Act therein named, and
providing and fixing the punishment for violation of- the provisions
thereof," approved June 22, 1893, in force July 1, 1893. There shall
also be charged as a liability to each such corporation, company, asso-
ciation or aggregation of individuals which has issued any policy of
liability, workmen's compensation or other casualty insurance, additional
reserves which shall be fully adequate to meet all liabilities not other-
wise provided for and shall be computed in a manner and on a basis
conforming as nearly as may be practicable to the general practice
throughout the United States, as far as the same shall be prescribed or
approved by the Department.

Except as otherwise ordered, the liability for such additional re-
serves shall be determined and charged as follows :

1. For all liability suits being defended under policies written

2. For all liability policies written during the three years im-
mediately preceding the date as of which the statement is made, such
reserve shall be sixty per centum of the earned liability premiums of
each of such three years less all loss and loss expense payments made
under liability policies written in the corresponding years; but in any
event, such reserve shall, for the first of such three years, be not less
than seven hundred and fifty dollars for each outstanding liability suit
on said year's policies.

3. For all compensation claims under policies written more than
three years prior to the date as of which the statement is made, the
present values at four per centum interest of the determined and the
estimated future payments.

4. For all compensation claims under policies written in the three
years immediately preceding the date as of which the statement is made,
such reserve shall be sixty-five per centum of the earned compensation

INSURANCE. 603

premiums of each of such three years, less all loss and loss expense
payments made in connection with such claims under policies written in
the corresponding years ; but in any event in the case of the first year of
any such three-year period such reserve shall not be less than the present
value at four per centum interest of the determined and the estimated
unpaid compensation claims under policies written during such year.

5. The term "earned premiums" as used herein shall include gross
premiums charged on all policies written, including all determined ex-
cess and additional premiums on policies cancelled, and less unearned
premiums on policies in force, and in case of companies or associations
or aggregations of individuals transacting business upon the partici-
pating plan,, less any portion of the premium so charged which is re-
turned or credited to policy-holders, a schedule of which return or
credit has been filed with and has not been disapproved by the Depart-
ment.

6. The term "compensation" as used in this Act shall relate to all
insurances effected by virtue of statutes providing compensation to
employees for personal injuries irrespective of fault of the employer.
The term "liability" shall relate to all insurance, except compensation

state in which the said non-resident company is incorporated such de-
posits as he may hold pertaining to the policies so assumed by the con-

pertaining to the policies so assumed. Such consolidated or reinsuring
company shall, within sixty days after the transfer of such deposit,
notify the holder of every policy secured by such transferred deposit

tion to policy-holders, as provided for herein, has been given. The
amount of deposit to be maintained from time to time for each policy

fore been maintained. Except as herein otherwise provided, such de-
posit so maintained in this State shall consist of securities authorized
by, and shall be subject to, and transactions in regard thereto shall be
regulated by the provisions of an Act of this State entitled, "An Act

solidation or reinsurance, to which either of the consolidating com-
panies or the contracting companies may be a party, shall be abated

or proceedings may be pending.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly: That in all cases where a fra-
ternal beneficiary society, organized under the laws of the State of
Illinois, has entered into a contract of reinsurance or articles of con-
solidation or merged with any other fraternal beneficiary society, whether
organized under the laws of the State of Illinois or any other state, with-
out express authority of law, whereby members of such societies have
been transferred from one society to another, or certificates of member-
ship issued by one society have been assumed by another society, or new
certificates issued by such reinsuring or consolidated society in lieu of
certificates held by such members, notwithstanding the fact that such
members were at the time of such reinsurance, merger or consolidation
above the age of applicants for membership as limited by law or by the
certificate of association of such reinsuring society, or were not at the
time of such reinsurance, consolidation or merger medically examined
as provided by law, each such contract of reinsurance or articles of con-
solidation or merger, except as hereinafter provided, is hereby declared
to be legal and valid and to be in full force and effect.

No such reinsuring or consolidated society shall interpost [inter-
pose] any defense in any action now pending, or hereafter brought, on
any such certificate, based upon the fact that the member described in
such certificate was above the age of applicants for membership as
limited by law or by the certificate of association of such reinsuring
society at the time of such reinsurance, merger or consolidation, or was
not medically examined at such time, provided such member shall have
complied in all other respects with all of the laws, rules and regulations
of such reinsuring society applicable to such member.

§ 2. The validation of such contracts as provided for in section 1
hereof shall not be taken as precluding the right of any society or of any
member of any such society, party to such contract, to bring an appro-
priate action for the recovery, for and on behalf of any such society, of
any sum or sums of money or assets of any kind, wrongfully or illegally
paid out or taken from any such society as and for commissions, fees or
other similar expenditures, in furtherance of any such contracts of con-
solidation, merger or reinsurance; and the reasonableness of any such
sums or transfer of assets, paid out as compensation, commission or
otherwise, may be properly inquired into in such action.

§ 1. A fraternal beneficiary society is hereby declared to be
a corporation, society or association formed, organized or carried on for
the sole benefit of its members and their beneficiaries, and not for profit.
Each society shall have a lodge system, with ritualistic form of work
and representative form of government, and may make provisions for
the payment of benefits in case of disability and death, or of either,
resulting from either disease, accident or old age of its members. In all
meetings of any such society, organized under this law or heretofore
organized, no member shall be allowed to cast more than one vote in any
election of its officers, or on any question submitted therein, and the
members, officers, representatives or delegates of a fraternal beneficiary
society shall not vote by proxy. Any such society, order or association
may create, maintain and disburse a reserve fund in accordance with
its constitution and by-laws. Such reserve fund, if any, shall represent
certain prescribed accumulations or percentage, retained for the benefit
of its members or their beneficiaries, and no part thereof shall be used
for expenses, nor. for any purpose except the payment of death and dis-
ability claims. The payment of such benefits in all cases being subject
to compliance by the member with the contract rules and laws of the
society: Provided, the period in life at which payment of physical dis-
ability benefits on account of age may commence shall not be under
seventy (70) years. The fund from which the payments of such benefits

INSURANCE. 617

shall be made, and the fund from which the expenses of such society
shall be defrayed, shall be derived from assessments or dues collected
from its members. Any fraternal benefit society which shall collect and
maintain a reserve fund may, by its constitution and by-laws, grant to
its members such extended and paid up protection, or such withdrawal
equities, as shall not exceed in value the portion of the reserve to the
credit of such member or members to whom such grant is made. Pay-
ments of death benefits shall only be paid to the families, heirs, blood
relations, affianced husband or affianced wife of or to persons dependent
upon the members : Provided, that a member who is totally and perm-
anently disabled, either from accident, disease or old age, or is without
means of support, may, with the consent of the society, if the by-laws
so provide, make a charitable institution, trust company, the lodge or
subordinate body of the society of which he is a member, or any person
or persons entering into an agreement in writing in manner and form
satisfactory to said society, to support such member, the beneficiary in
his certificate : Provided, that a member having no wife or children
living may, with the consent of the society, make a charitable institution
his beneficiary: Provided, however, that societies formed to include
only the membership of any religious denomination may be permitted to
provide that benefits under their certificates of membership may be paid
to religious or charitable institutions. The members of any religious
denomination may incorporate under this Act, and shall only be required
to have a lodge or branch system and a representative form of govern-
ment.

Membership in such corporation shall be confined to the members
of such religious organization. Commercial travelers shall also be
allowed to incorporate under the provisions of this Act, but membership
of such incorporation shall be confined to those actively engaged as com-
mercial travelers, and officers, buyers or sellers for corporations, associa-
tions and co-partnerships, or individuals who employ commercial
traveling men. Such commercial travelers' incorporation shall have a
lodge or branch system and representative form of government. All
such societies shall be governed by this Act, and shall be exempt from
the provisions of all insurance laws in this State, and no law hereafter
passed shall apply to them, unless they be expressly designated therein:
Provided, that this Act shall not be construed to prevent any society
having a supreme lodge with separate jurisdiction, which by their law
provides for a general relief or reserve fund, for making assessments to
pay its pro rata share of such relief or reserve fund, or from receiving
their pro rata of any such fund.

for disability caused by disease; or if such corporation be now or here-
after organized under the laws of this State for the sole purpose of
insuring any person against bodily injury, disability or death resulting
from accident, and providing benefits for disability caused by disease, it
may also, upon compliance with the requirements of this Act, engage in
the business of making insurance upon the lives of persons, and every
insurance pertaining thereto or connected therewith and of granting or
disposing of annuities.

§ 2. Any such corporation hereafter organized under the laws of
this State for the purpose of making insurance upon the lives of persons
or for the otherwise sole purpose of insuring persons against bodily
injury, disability or death resulting from accident, and providing bene-
fits for disability caused by disease, may avail itself of the provisions of
this Act by including in its charter a declaration of its desire so to do.

§ 3. Any such corporation heretofore organized under the laws
of this State for the purpose of making insurance upon the lives of
persons or for the sole purpose of insuring persons against bodily injury,
disability or death resulting from accident, and providing benefits for
disability caused by disease, may avail itself of the provisions of this Act
by amending its charter as hereinafter provided. Whenever the board of
directors, managers or trustees of any such company desire to so amend
the charter of said company, they may call a special meeting of the
stockholders of said company, if the same is a stock company, or of the
members of said company, if the same is a mutual company, or of the
stockholders and members, if the same is a stock and mutual company,
for the purpose of submitting the question of such change or amend-
ments to a vote of such stockholders or members, or both, as the case
may be. Said meeting shall be called by delivering personally or de-
positing in the postoffice, at least thirty days before the time fixed for
such meeting, a notice properly addressed to each stockholder, or to each
member, signed by a majority of said directors, managers or trustees,
stating the time, place and specific object of such meeting. A general
notice of the time, place and object of such meeting shall also be pub-
lished for three successive weeks in some newspaper printed in or nearest
the county in which the principal business office of said company is
located. At any such meeting stockholders or members may vote in
person or by proxy. Each stockholder, in the case of a stock company
or of a stock and mutual company, shall be entitled to one vote for each
share of stock held by him, and each member, in the- case of a mutual
company or of a stock and mutual company, shall be entitled to one
vote for each one thousand dollars of insurance held by him, and each
member shall have at least one vote; and votes representing two-thirds
of all the stock in the case of a stock company, or of two-thirds of all

present at the meeting in person or by proxy in the case of other com-
panies, shall be necessary for the adoption of the proposed amendment.

the same has been cast in favor of such proposed amendment, a certifi-
cate thereof, verified by the affidavit of the president, and under the
seal of said company, shall be submitted to the Department of Trade and
Commerce. If the said Department, upon examination of such certifi-
cate, finds that the proposed amendment has been adopted in accordance
with the provisions of this section, then, upon receipt of the deposit
required by the succeeding section of this Act, and upon evidence satis-
factory to it, either through examination of the company or otherwise,
that the requirement set forth in section 1 hereof, regarding capital
stock or surplus, has been fulfilled, it shall cause such certificate to be
recorded in a book kept for the purpose, and thereupon the amendment
shall be and is hereby declared to be effected and in force.

Trade and Commerce as aforesaid, a like certificate of the amendment
shall be filed for record in the office of the recorder of- deeds of the
county where the principal office of said insurance company is located,
and said company shall also cause to be published in some newspaper,
in or nearest the county in which its principal office is located, a notice
containing a copy of such amendment in its charter, for three successive
weeks.

§ 4. Before any corporation of this State availing itself of the
provisions of this Act shall engage in the forms of insurance business
permitted hereby, it shall deposit with the Department of Trade and
Commerce, if it has not already done so, at least two hundred thousand
dollars ($200,000). Such deposit shall be in lieu of and for the same
purposes as the deposits now required by law of life insurance com-
panies and of accident and health insurance companies, as a condition
precedent to the commencement of such classes of business. Such
deposits shall be held in trust by the Department of Trade and Com-
merce for the purposes now or hereafter prescribed by law, and all
securities so deposited shall be made to or assigned to the Director of
such Department and to his successors, in trust, for such purposes.

Act entitled, "An Act relating to insurance and permitting stock cor-
porations organized under the laws of the State of Illinois to engage in

which conflict with the provisions of this Act," in force July 1, 1911,

ance with the provisions of this section.

funds only in such investments as are permitted by the laws of this
State to be acquired by life insurance companies of this State.

this Act : And, provided, further, that it shall deposit with the Depart-
ment of Trade and Commerce securities of the amount and character
required hereby of like companies of this State, or, in lieu thereof, shall

of the United States, showing to the satisfaction of the Department of
Trade and Commerce that the corporation has on deposit with such state
officer the amount of deposit required hereby of like companies of this
State, and that the same is held for the benefit and security of the
policyholders of such corporation in the United States, which certificate
shall be renewed annually.

§ 7. The minimum amount of capital stock, or surplus, or both
together, required hereunder, shall be maintained at all times as an un-
impaired fund for policyholders by any company availing itself of the
provisions of this Act : Provided, that if the Department of Trade and
Commerce shall find that any impairment exists therein, it shall give
notice to the company of the amount of such impairment as determined
by it, and require that the deficiency be made good within such period
as it may designate in its notification, which shall be not less than fifteen

and, provided, further, that if such impairment shall exceed twenty per
centum of such minimum capital stock or surplus, such Department
shall notify the company to discontinue the issuance of new policies
until the impairment shall have been made good.

If the impairment be not made good within the period limited by
the Department of Trade and Commerce in its notification, then, in the
case of a company of this State, it shall be deemed insolvent and it shall
be the duty of the Department of Trade and Commerce to take such
proceedings against such company as may be authorized by law to be
taken against insolvent life insurance companies, and, in the case of a
company organized under the laws of any other state or country, its
license to operate in this State shall be cancelled forthwith by the De-
partment of Trade and Commerce.

brought in the name of the People of the State of Illinois by the Attor-
ney General on application by the Department of Trade and Commerce.

this State from incorporating provisions in its policies of life insurance
operating (a) to grant insurance against death by accident, or (b) in
the event the insured shall become totally and permanently disabled
from any cause, to safeguard the insurance against lapse, or to grant

amended.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly: That section 10 of an Act en-
titled "An Act to organize and regulate the business of life insurance",
in force July 1, 1869, as amended, be, and the same is, hereby amended
to read as follows, to-wit:

§ 10. If the Department of Trade and Commerce shall find, in
the case of any company doing business under this Act, that the ad-
mitted assets of a stock life insurance company in excess of the minimum
amount of capital stock required under this Act, or the admitted assets
of a mutual life insurance company, are less than its liabilities, in-
cluding the net value of its policies computed by the standard of valua-
tion established by this section, such Department shall give notice to the
company of the amount of such deficit as determined by it, and shall
require that the deficit be made good within such period as it may desig-
nate in its notification, which shall be not less than fifteen days nor
more than ninety clays, from the issuance of such notification; provided

INSURANCE. C23

that, in the case of a stock Hie insurance company where the deficit shall
exceed twenty per centum of such minimum capital stock, or in the case
of a mutual life insurance company, the Department shall further notify
the company to discontinue the issuance of new policies until the deficit
shall have been made good.

If the deficit be not made good within the period limited by the
Department of Trade and Commerce in its notification, then, in the
case of a company of this State, it shall be deemed insolvent and it shall
be the duty of the Department of Trade and Commerce to take such
proceedings against such company as may be authorized by law to be
taken against insolvent life insurance companies, and, in the case of a
company organized under the laws of any other state or country, its
license to operate in this State shall be cancelled forthwith by the De-
partment of Trade and Commerce.

Any company or officer thereof that issues or delivers a new policy
for and on behalf of such company, after notice has been given by the
Department of Trade and Commerce to discontinue the issuance of
new policies, or after the expiration of the period limited in its notifi-
cation, and, in either case, before the deficit shall have been made good,
shall forfeit for each offense the sum of one thousand dollars, to be
recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in an action brought in
the name of the People of the State of Illinois by the Attorney General
on application by the Department of Trade and Commerce.

The Department of Trade and Commerce shall annually make
valuations of all outstanding policies, additions thereto, unpaid dividends
and all other obligations of every life insurance corporation doing busi-
ness in this State. All valuations made by it or by its authority shall
be made upon the net premium basis. The legal minimum standard for
valuation of contracts issued before the first day of January, 1908, shall
be the Actuaries' or Combined Experience Table of Mortality with in-
terest at 4 per centum per annum and for valuation of contracts issued
on or after said date shall be the American Experience Table of Mor-
tality with interest at 3-Vo per centum per annum. The Department
of Trade and Commerce may vary the standards of interest and mortality
in the case of corporations from foreign countries as to contracts issued
by such corporations in other countries than the United States, and in
particular cases of invalid lives and other extra hazards; and value
policies in groups, use approximate averages for fractions of a year and
otherwise, and accept the valuation of the department of insurance of
any other state or country if made upon the basis, and according to the
standards not lower than herein required or authorized, in place of the
valuation herein required.

Policies issued by companies doing business in this State may pro-
vide for not more than one year preliminary term insurance by incor-
porating in the provision thereof, specifying the premium consideration
to be received, a clause plainly showing that the first year's insurance
under such policies is term insurance, purchased by the whole or a part
of the premium to be received during the first policy year.

624 INSURANCE.

If the premium charged for term insurance under a limited pay-
ment life preliminary term policy providing for the payment of all
premiums thereon in less than twenty years from the date of the policy
or under an endowment preliminary term policy, exceeds that charged
for like insurance under twenty payment life preliminary term policies
of the same company, the reserve thereon at the end of any year, in-
cluding first, shall not be less than the reserve on a twenty payment life
preliminary term policy issued in the same year and at the same age
together with an amount which shall be equivalent to the accumulation
of a net level premium sufficient to provide for a pure endowment at
the end of the premium-payment period equal to the difference between
the value at the end of such period of such a twenty payment life pre-
liminary term policy and the full reserve at such time of such a limited
payment life or endowment policy. The premium-payment period is the
period during which premiums are concurrently payable under such
twenty payment life preliminary term policy and such limited payment
life or endowment policy.

title, and it appearing to the registrar that the person intending to
create the charge has the title and right to create such charge, and that
the person in whose favor the same is sought to be created is entitled
by the terms of this Act to have the same registered, he shall enter upon
the proper folium of the register, and also upon the owner's certificate, a
memorial of the purport thereof, and the date of filing the instrument
with a reference thereto by its file number, which memorial shall be
signed by the registrar. The registrar shall also note upon the instru-
ment on file the volume and folium of the register where the memorial
is entered. It shall not be essential to the lien of a mortgage or trust
deed in the nature of a mortgage, that the owner's duplicate certificate

of title be delivered to and retained by the mortgagee or trustee named
in such mortgage or trust deed, or be delivered to or retained by the
owner of the note or notes secured by such mortgage or trust deed; but
the registrar of titles on the filing of such mortgage or trust deed and
the entry of a memorial of the same on the register of titles, shall issue
to the mortgagee or trustee therein named, or to the owner of the note
or notes secured thereby, a certificate to be known as mortgagee's dupli-
cate certificate, which mortgagee's duplicate certificate shall bear in large
plain letters the words "Mortgagee's Duplicate Certificate." Said mort-
gagee's duplicate certificate of title shall be printed on a paper differing
in color than that of the owner's duplicate certificate of title. The
registrar of titles shall be entitled to receive as a fee or charge for issuing
a mortgagee's duplicate certificate of title, the sum of $1.00. Upon the
issuance of said mortgagee's duplicate certificate of title, the registrar
of titles shall enter as a memorial on the proper folium of the register
of titles the fact of the issuance of said mortgagee's duplicate certificate
of title. Upon the release of the mortgage or trust deed for which said
mortgagee's duplicate certificate of title was issued, said mortgagee's
duplicate certificate of title shall be surrendered to the registrar, or
proof made that said mortgagee's duplicate certificate of title has been
lost or destroyed. The fee for the filing of all instruments required for
the making of proof that a mortgagee's duplicate certificate of title has
been lost or destroyed shall be $1.00.

In case of the transfer of the land, or of any estate or interest
therein, or in case of any other action of the registrar of titles affecting
the ownership of the same, or title thereto, and requiring a new certifi-
cate of title to be issued, it shall not be necessary to take up and cancel
such outstanding mortgagee's duplicate certificate of title, and the fact
of the issuance of said mortgagee's duplicate certificate of title shall be
carried forward on said new certificate of title as a memorial ; but in any
such case such mortgagee, trustee or owner of notes, holding a mort-
gagee's duplicate certificate, may surrender the same and receive in
place thereof a mortgagee's duplicate of the new certificate of title
made on such transfer or change of title, without the payment of any
fee or charge to the registrar of titles. And thereupon the fact of the
issuance of said new mortgagee's duplicate certificate of title shall be
entered by the registrar of titles upon the proper- folium of the register,
and also upon the owner's duplicate certificate of title. If on such
transfer or change of title the mortgagee, trustee or owner of notes is
unable to produce the outstanding mortgagee's duplicate certificate of
title, by reason of its loss or destruction, he shall make proof of such
loss or destruction to the registrar of titles and the registrar of titles
upon receiving proper proof of such loss or destruction may issue a
mortgagee's duplicate of the new certificate of title. The registrar of
titles shall be entitled to receive as a fee or charge for filing all instru-
ments by which proof of the loss or destruction of said mortgagee's
duplicate certificate of title is made the sum of $1.00.

Whenever any person or corporation, by reason of the foreclosure of
any mortgage or trust deed upon registered land and of such subse-

it shall not be essential that the original owner's duplicate certificate of
title on which such mortgage or trust deed was noted as a lien be de-
livered to, and retained by, the registrar of titles, but the mortgagee's
duplicate certificate of title may be delivered to, received and retained
by the registrar of titles with the same force and effect as if the original
owner's duplicate certificate of title had been delivered to, received and

§ 23. Any person who shall furnish material, apparatus, fixtures,
machinery or labor to any contractor having a contract for public im-
provement for any county, township, school district, city or municipality
in this State, shall have a lien on the money, bonds or warrants due
or to become due such contractor under such contract : Provided such
person shall, before payment or delivery thereof is made to such
contractor, notify the official or officials of the county, township, school
district, city or municipality whose duty it is to pay such contractor
of his claim by a written notice; and, provided further, that such lieu
shall attach only to that portion of such money, bonds or warrants
against which no voucher or other evidence of indebtedness has been
issued and delivered to the contractor by or on behalf of the county,
township, school district, city or municipality as the case may be at
the time of such notice. It shall be the duty of any such official so
notified to withhold a sufficient amount to pay such claim until the
same is admitted by the contractor, or adjusted by the agreement of the
parties, or there has been an adjudication of the same in a court of
competent jurisdiction, and thereupon to pay the amount so determined
to be due such claimant, if any, and to that end the said county, town-
ship, school district, city or municipality or any of the other parties
interested may institute suit in the same manner as is provided herein
in case of privately owned real estate to determine the rights of the
parties when such claim is filed.

Any person who shall furnish material, apparatus, fixtures, ma-
chinery or labor to any contractor having a contract for public im-
provement for the State, may have a lien on the money, bonds or war-
rants due or about to become due such contractor under the contract,
by filing with the official whose duty it is to pay such contractor a

sworn statement of the claim showing with particularity the several
items and the amount claimed to be due on each; but the lien shall
attach to only that portion of the money, bonds or warrants against
which no voucher or other evidence of indebtedness has been issued
and delivered to the contractor by or on behalf of the State.

The person so claiming a lien shall, within thirty (30) days after
filing notice with the State official, commence proceedings by bill in
equity for an accounting, making the contractor to whom such material,
apparatus, fixtures, machinery or labor was furnished, party defendant,
and shall, within the same period notify the official of the State of
the commencement of such suit by delivering to him a certified copy
of the bill filed; provided, that suit shall be commenced and a copy
of the bill served upon the State official not less than fifteen (15)
days before the date when the appropriation from which such money
is to be paid, will lapse. It shall be the duty of the State official after
the sworn statement has been filed with him, to withhold payment of
a sum sufficient to pay the amount of such claim, for the period limited
for the filing of suit, unless otherwise notified by the person claiming
the lien.

Upon the expiration of this period the money, bonds or warrants
so withheld shall be released for payment to the contractor unless the
person claiming the lien shall have instituted proceedings and served
the official of the State with the certified copy of the bill as herein pro-
vided, in which case, the amount claimed shall be withheld until the
final adjudication of the suit is had : Provided, the State official may
pay over to the clerk of the court in which such suit is pending, a sum
sufficient to pay the amount claimed to abide the result of such suit
and be distributed by the clerk according to the decree rendered.

Any payment so made to such claimant or to the clerk of the
court shall be a credit on the contract price to be paid to such con-
tractor. Any officer violating the duty hereby imposed upon him shall
be liable on his official bond to the claimant serving such notice for
the damages resulting from such violation, which may be recovered in
an action at law in any court of competent jurisdiction. There shall
be no preference between the persons serving such notice, but all shall
be paid pro rata in proportion to the amount due under their respec-
tive contracts."

the distance between the hoisting shaft and the escapement shaft shall
not be less than two hundred and fifty (250) feet.

(c) It shall be unlawful to employ underground, at any one time,
more men than in the judgment of the inspector are necessary to com-
plete speedily the connections with the escapement shaft or adjacent
mine; and said number must not exceed ten men at any one time for
any purpose in said mine until such escapement or connection is com-
pleted.

The time allowed for completing such escapement shaft or making
such connections with an adjacent mine, as is required uy the terms of
this Act, shall be three months for shafts 200 feet or less in depth, and
six months for shafts less than 500 feet or more than 200 feet, and
nine months for all other mines, slopes or drifts, or connections with
adjacent mines. The time to date in all cases from the hoisting of
coal from the hoisting shaft : Provided,- that in mines employing ten
(10) men or less, the time for completing the escapement shaft shall
not be more than six months from the time of hoisting coal.

(d) The escapement shaft at every mine opened after the passage
of this Act shall be equipped with a substantial stairway, set at an
angle not greater than forty-five degrees, which shall be provided with
hand rails and with platforms or landings at each turn of the stairway:

Provided, that all coal mines more than two hundred (200) feet in
depth, opened on or after July 1, 1919, the escapement shaft shall be
equipped with both a cage and stairway: Provided, further, that if the
coal mine is equipped with a stairway in the main shaft, no stairway
shall be required in the escapement shaft.

If any escapement shaft, at the time of the passage of this Act, be
equipped with a cage for hoisting men, such shaft, cage and all equip-
ment used in connection therewith must conform to the requirements of
this Act in reference to the hoisting and lowering of men.

Where an escapement way is connected to a compartment in which
coal is hoisted in such manner that men using the escapement way are
endangered by falling coal or by themselves falling into such hoisting
compartment, the State Mine Inspector shall have power to order suit-
able protection against such dangers.

(e) Such escapement shaft or opening or communication with a
contiguous mine as aforesaid, shall be constructed in connection with
every seam of coal worked in such mine, and all passageways com-
municating with the escapement shaft or place of exit from the main
hauling ways to said place or exit, shall be maintained free of obstruc-

tion at least 5 feet high and 5 feet wide. Such passageways must be so
graded and drained that it will be impossible for water to accumulate in
any depression or dip of the same in quantities sufficient to obstruct the
free and safe passage of men. No passageway to an escapement shaft
shall pass through a stable. At all points where the passageway to the
escapement shaft or other place of exit is intersected by other roadways
or entries, conspicuous signboards 'shall be placed indicating the direc-
tion it is necessary to take in order to reach such place of exit.

(f) When operators of adjacent mines have, by agreement, estab-
lished underground communications between said mines as an escape-
ment outlet for the men employed in both, the intervening doors shall
remain unlocked and ready at all times for immediate use.

When such communication has once been established between con-
tiguous mines, the operator of either shall not close the same without
the consent of the operator of the contiguous mine and of the State
inspector for the district: Provided, that when either operator desires
to abandon mining operations the expense and duty of maintaining
such communication shall develop upon the party continuing the opera-
tions and using the same.

§ 14. (a) At every coal mine there shall be provided, supplied
and maintained an amount of air which shall not be less than one
hundred (100) cubic feet per minute for each person, and not less than
five hundred (500) cubic feet per minute for each animal in the mine,
measured at the foot of the downcast and of the upcast; except that in
gaseous mine there shall be not less than one hundred and fifty (150)
cubic feet of air per minute for each person in the mine. The inspector
shall have power by order in writing to require these quantities to be
increased.

(b) The main current of air shall be split or subdivided as to
give a separate current of reasonably pure air to every 100 men at
work, and the inspector shall have authority to order, in writing, sepa-
rate currents for smaller groups of men, if, in his judgment, special
conditions render it necessary.

(c) Doors, curtains or brattices shall be placed at such places as
may be designated by the mine manager, subject to the approval of
the State inspector, to conduct into the working places an amount of
air sufficient to render the working places reasonably free from dele-
terious air of every kind.

(d) Away from the pillar for the mine bottom, cross-cuts between
entries shall be made not more than sixty feet apart without permission
of the State inspector of the district and then only in case of "faults."
When such consent is given, brattice or other means must be provided
within sixty feet of the face to convey the air to the working place
until a cross-cut is opened up.

When undercut or sheared, the entry, cross-cut and room-neck may
be advanced concurrently, but not more than one cutting shall be shot
in the room-neck until the cross-cut is finished; and after the entry
has advanced fifteen feet beyond the location of the new cross-cut, only

MINES AND MINING. G59

one shot shall be fired in the entry to two in either or both the i
cut and room-neck, at the same shooting time.

When not undercut or sheared, the entry and cross-cut may be
advanced concurrently, but no room shall be opened in advance of the
last open cross-cut, and after the entry has advanced fifteen i'eet beyond
the location of a new cross-cut only one shot shall be fired in the entry
to two in the cross-cut at the same shooting time.

Not more than three shots shall be exploded at one shooting time
ahead of the last open cross-cut.

(e) After the taking effect of this Act, the first cross-cut between
all rooms off any entry shall not be more than sixty (60) feet from the
rib of the entry. Additional cross-cuts shall not be more than sixty (60)
feet apart : Provided, hoivever, that if in any mine the conditions are
such that in the judgment of the duly accredited representative of the
Department of Mines and Minerals, expressed in writing, it is con-
sidered equally safe and more advantageous to leave a blind pillar be-
tween not less than every three rooms, the Department of Mines and
Minerals shall have power to grant the authority to leave said pillar
subject to review by the Department of Mines and Minerals on formal
complaint of the representative of either party in interest and after an
open hearing.

(f) All cross-cuts connecting inlet and outlet air courses, except
the last one nearest the face, shall be closed with substantial stoppings
to be made as nearly air-tight as possible. In the making of the air-
tight partitions or stoppings, no loose material or refuse shall be used.

Cross-cuts between rooms, except the one nearest the face, shall be
closed sufficiently to carry to the working places the amount of air
required by law.

(g) All possible care and diligence shall be exercised in the ex-
amination of working places, especially for the investigation and detec-
tion of explosive gases therein, and where found, such gas shall be
removed by a special current of air produced by bratticing or from a
pipe, before men are permitted to work in such places with other lights
than safety lamps.

(h) If, in any mine, the conditions are such that in the judgment
of the mine manager or the judgment of the State Mine Inspector ex-
pressed in writing, it is necessary to use safety lamps only in working
said mine, other lights shall not be used therein: Provided, however,
that if in the opinion of the miners or operators, an injustice has been
done by ordering said mine to use safety lamps only, the miners or
operators have a right to appeal to the Department of Mines and
Minerals, its decision in the case to be final.

(i) The air from the outlet of the stable shall not pass into the
intake air current used for ventilating the working parts of the mine.

(j) All doors in mines, used in guiding and directing the venti-
lating currents shall be hung and adjusted so as to close automatically.

(k) At all doors through which three or more drivers are hauling
coal on any one shift, an attendant shall be employed on said shaft
[shift] for the purpose of opening and closing said doors when trips of

660 MINES AND MINING.

cars are passing to and from the workings: Provided, the mine in-
spector in case of specially dangerous conditions, shall have power to
require in writing that an attendant be placed at doors through which
less than three drivers shall pass. Places for shelter shall be provided
at such doorways to protect the attendants from being injured by the
cars while attending to their duties : Provided, that in any or all mines,
where doors are constructed in such a manner as to open and close
automatically, attendants and places for shelter shall" not be required.

(1) If the inspector shall find men working without the amount
of air required by law, he shall at once notify the mine manager to
increase the amount of air in accordance with the law. Upon
failure or refusal of the manager to act promptly, and in all cases
where men are endangered by such lack of air, the inspector shall at
once order the men affected out of the mine.

(m) In case the passageways, roadways or entries of any mine are
so dry that the air becomes charged with dust, the operator of such
mine must have such roadways regularly and thoroughly sprayed,
sprinkled or cleaned.

(n) At all mines employing over one hundred (100) men under-
ground and in all mines generating fire damp, the ventilating fan shall
be run both day and night; at all mines employing less than one hun-
dred (100) men underground, the fan shall be run at its usual speed for
six (6) hours before men go into the mine to work. A recording
pressure gauge shall be maintained in connection with each fan at all
times : Provided, nothing in this clause shall apply to mines employing
ten men or less.

(o) In all mines where closed electric lamps are used exclusively,
a sufficient number of practical, experienced miners shall be employed
by the company, whose duty it shall be to examine the mine for noxious
or inflammable gases while men are working therein; and, further pro-
vided, that the mine shall be examined by a competent person with a
safety gas testing lamp on idle clays, holidays and Sundays preceding
the time the night shift goes on duty.

§ 19. (a) No blasting powder, or other explosives, shall be
stored in any coal mine, and no workman shall have at any time in the
mine more than thirty-five pounds of black powder nor more than
twenty-five pounds of permissible explosives, nor more than three pounds
of other high explosives : Provided, that nothing in this section shall
be construed to prevent the operator of any mine from taking into the
mine, when miners are not therein, and in electrically equipped mines,
while the current is turned off on roadways through which it is trans-
ported, a sufficient quantity of powder for the reasonable requirements
of such mine for the next succeeding working day. The delivery of
powder into coal mines shall be during the interval after the shot firers
have come out of the mine and prior to the entry of the day shift into
the mine in the morning; but in the interim before such powder is
delivered to the men, it shall be kept in a closed receptacle.

Explosives shall not be carried in the same car with tools or other
materials.

MINES AND MINING. 661

(b) Every person who has powder or other explosives in a mine
shall keep the same in a wooden box securely locked, with hinged lid,
and said box shall be kept as far as practicable from the track; and all
powder boxes shall be kept as far as practicable from each other and
each in a scheduled place. Black powder and high explosives or caps
shall not be kept in the same box. Detonating explosives and detonators
shall not be kept in the same box.

(c) Whenever a workman is about to open a box or keg contain-
ing powder or other explosives, and while handling the same, he shall
place and keep his lamp at least five feet distant from said explosive, and
in such position that the air current can not convey sparks to it, and
no person shall approach nearer than five feet to an open box containing
an open keg of powder or other explosive with a lighted lamp, lighted
pipe or other thing containing fire. No miner, workman or other per-
son shall open any receptacle containing an explosive except by the
means of opening the same provided by the manufacturer thereof, and
it shall be unlawful for any person to have in his possession in any mine
any receptacle containing explosive which has been opened in violation
of this Act.

(d) The quantity of powder to be used in the preparation of shots
shall not, in any case, exceed five (5) standard chargers full of powder
in coal seams five and one-half (5%) feet or over in thickness; and
shall not, in any case, exceed four (4) standard chargers full of powder
in coal seams under five and one-half (5^4) feet in thickness.

(e) For the purpose of determining the quantity of powder to be
used in the preparation of any given shot, a standard charger is defined
and prescribed to be a cylindrical metallic charger not to exceed twelve
(12) inches in length and not to exceed one and one-half (IV2) inches
in diameter.

(f) No person shall drill or shoot a dead hole as hereinafter de-
fined. A "dead hole" is a hole where the width of the shot at the point
measured at right angles to the line of the hole is so great that the heel
is not of sufficient strength to at least balance the resistance at the point.
The heel means that part of the shot which lies outside of the powder.

In solid shooting, the width of the shot at the point, in seams of
coal six (6) feet or less in height, shall not be greater than the height
of the coal, and in seams of coal more than six (6) feet in thickness,
the width of the shot at the point shall, in no case, be more than six
(6) feet.

In undercut coal, no hole shall be drilled "on the solid" for any part
of its length.

(g) In no case shall more than one kind of explosive be used in
the same drill hole.

(h) The needle used in preparing a blast shall be made of copper,
and any metallic tamping-bar or scraper which is used for placing ex-
plosives for shots shall be tipped with at least five inches of copper. A
scraper shall not be used for tamping.

(i) Every blasting hole shall be tamped full from the explosive to
the mouth of the hole, and no coal dust or anv material that is in-

flammable or that may create a spark, whether the same shall be wet
or dry, shall be used for tamping.

(j) When a squib is used to fire a shot it shall be unlawful to
shorten or oil the match of the squib or to ignite it except at the end.

(k) Before firing a shot, the person firing the same shall see that
all persons are out of danger from the probable effects of such shot, and
shall take measures to prevent any one approaching by shouting "fire"
before lighting the same.

(1) Not more than one shot shall be lighted at the same time in
any working place unless the firing is done by electricity or by fuses
of such length that the interval between the explosions of any two
shots shall be not less than one minute, and in no case shall any shot
or shots be fired or lighted which are termed depending or dependent
shots, until after the expiration of ten minutes from the successful firing
of the relieving shot or shots. When successive shots are to be fired in
any working place in which the roof is broken or faulty, the smoke shall
be allowed to clear away and the roof examined and made secure
between shots.

(m) No person shall return to a missed shot, if lighted with a
squib, until five (5) minutes have elapsed from the time of lighting the
same, or, if lighted with fuse, until the following day; and no person
shall return to a missed shot when the firing is done by electricity unless
the wires are disconnected from the battery.

(n) No missed shot shall be withdrawn excepting by the use of
coppertipped or wooden tools.

(o) Where shot firers are employed and fuse is used to fire shots,
the length of the fuse shall be not less than three and one-half (3%)
feet outside the powder.

§ 20. (a) It shall be the duty of the mine manager:

1. To visit each working place in the mine at least once in two
weeks.

2. To provide a suitable checking system whereby the entrance
into and departure from the mine of each employee shall be indicated.

3. To have the underground working of the mine examined by a
certificated mine examiner within eight hours preceding every day upon
which the mine is to be operated. Such a mine examiner shall make
the examination as provided in this Act, and he shall enter his report
thereof with indelible pencil or ink in a well bound or properly pro-
tected loose leaf book provided for that purpose, before the men are
permitted to enter the mine in the morning. This book shall be kept
in some convenient place on top, but not in the engine room, for the
information of the inspector and other persons interested therein.

4. To examine the mine examiner's report in the morning, and
if the working places are reported dangerous, he shall withhold the
entrance checks of men working in such places until he has taken
every proper precaution to advise such men of the danger and instructed
them not to work in such places until the reported danger has been
removed, except for the purpose of removing same.

MINES AND MINIXfl. 663

5. When there is to be a night shift mining coal, the mine man-
ager shall require the places in which such night shift are expected
to work to be examined for gas, or falls or dangerous roof, by the
person in charge of such night shift or some competent person duly
authorized by him before the men enter such places for work. The
night shift may go into the mine while the night examiner is in the
mine, excepting in mines where marsh gas has been detected in danger-
ous quantities, provided they do not go into the working places until
the required examination is made.

Certificated mine examiners shall not be required for the exam-
ination preceding the night shift, excepting in mines where marsh gas
is detected in dangerous quantities. The night examiner, or examin-
ers, shall make a record of their examination in a special book kept
for that purpose, which shall be kept in some convenient place on
top when not in use by the examiner.

6. He shall provide a sufficient number of props, caps and tim-
bers, when demanded, delivered on the miners' cars at the usual place,
in suitable lengths and dimensions for the securing of the roof by
the miners.

7. He shall see that the cross-cuts are made at proper distances
apart, and that the necessary doors, curtains, and batteroes [batteries]
are provided to secure the men in the mine the volume of air required
by this Act, or by the written demands of the mine inspector ; also, that
all stoppings along air-ways are properly and promptly built.

8. He shall keep careful watch over all ventilating apparatus, and
the air currents in the mine, and in case of accident to fan or machin-
ery by which the air currents are stopped or materially obstructed,
he* shall at once order the withdrawal of the men from the mine and
prohibit their return until the required ventilation has been re-estab-
lished.

9. He shall measure the air current or cause the same to be
measured at least once each week at the inlet and outlet, also at the
last open cross-cut in each division or split, and shall keep a record
of such measurements for the information of the mine inspector.

10. He or his assistants shall, at least once a week, examine the
escapement shaft and the roadways leading thereto and all other open-
ings for the safe exit of men to the surface ; and shall make a record
of any obstructions or other unsafe conditions existing therein, and
cause the same to be promptly removed.

11. He shall examine or designate a competent person to exam-
ine the hoisting ropes, cages and safety catches every morning, and
shall require the ropes to be tested by hoisting the cages before the
men are lowered.

12. He must see that the top man and bottom man are on duty
and that sufficient lights are maintained at the top and bottom landings
when the miners are being hoisted and lowered.

13. The mine manager or his assistant shall be at his post at
the mine when the men are lowered into the mine in the morning for
work, and shall remain at night until all the men employed during
the dav shall have been hoisted out.

664 MINES AND MINING.

14. He shall give special attention to and instructions concerning
the proper storage and handling of explosives in the mines.

15. He shall see that all dusty haulage roads are regularly and
thoroughly sprayed, sprinkled or cleaned at regular intervals when the
health and safety of the men in the mines demand.

(b) The mine manager shall have power:

1. To instruct employees as to their respective duties and to re-
quire of all employees obedience to the provisions of the mining law.

2. To prescribe special rules concerning the proper storage and
handling of explosives in the mine and concerning the time and man-
ner of placing and discharging the blasting shots, and it shall be un-
lawful for any miner to fire shots except according to such rules.

3. In mines in which the works are so extensive that all the duties
devolving upon the mine manager cannot be discharged by one man,
competent persons may be designated and appointed as assistants to the
mine manager, who shall exercise his functions under the mine man-
agers' instructions.

§ 21. (a) A certificated mine examiner shall be required at
all coal mines. There shall be one or more additional certificated mine
examiners whenever required in writing by State mine inspectors when
the conditions are such as to make the employment of such additional
mine examiners necessary.

(b) It shall be the duty of the mine examiner:

1. To examine the underground workings of the mine within
eight hours preceding the time the day shift goes on duty, every day
upon which the mine is to be operated, excepting that when in the
judgment of the State Mine Inspector expressed in writing to the coal
operator, a mine generates explosive gas in dangerous quantities,, a
State mine inspector shall require the mine to be examined for gas
in such manner and at such shorter intervals than eight hours before
the time the day shift goes on duty every day upon which the mine
is to be operated, as may be necessary to insure the safety of the men
working in such mine. In all mines where closed electric lamps are
used exclusively, said mines shall be examined within four hours pre-
ceding the time the day shift goes on duty.

2. When in the performance of his duties, to carry with him a
safety lamp in proper order and condition and a rod or bar for sound-

safe exit of men to the surface, the edges and accessible parts of re-
cent falls and old gobs and air-courses.

5. As evidence of his examination of said rooms and roadways,
to inscribe in some suitable place on the walls of each, not on the face
of the coal, with chalk, the month and the day of the month of his
visit.

6. When working places are discovered in which there are recent
falls or dangerous rook [roof] or dangerous conditions, to place a
conspicuous mark or sign thereat as notice to all men to keep out; and
in case of accumulation of gas, to place at least two conspicuous ob-
structions across the roadway not less than twenty feet apart, one of
which shall be outside the last open cross-cut.

7. Upon completing his examination, to make ja daily record of
the same in a book kept for that purpose, for the information of the
company, the inspector and all other persons interested; and this record
shall be made each morning before the miners are permitted to enter
the mine.

8. To take into his possession the entrance checks of all men
whose working places have been shown by his examination and record

soldiers and sailors of the county. No

The elector shall designate his vote by a cross mark thus, (X),
and no ballot which has not a cross ormosite the word "yes" or "no"
shall be counted either for or against the proposition.

If a majority of all the votes cast at such election are in favor
thereof, it shall be the duty of the board of supervisors or board of
county commissioners, as the case may be, of such county, within one
year after such election, to appropriate sufficient funds to erect a suit-
able monument or a suitable memorial building, and purchase a site
therefor, if necessary, at the county seat, in honor of its soldiers and
sailors. If the revenues of the coimtv under' the general tax levy shall
be insufficient to provide for the erection of such building and the pur-
chase of a site therefor, if necessary, the board of supervisors or board
of county commissioners, as the case may be, may also at the same elec-
tion submit to the voters the proposition of levying an additional tax
and issuing bonds therefor in the manner provided by sections 27 and
28 of an Act entitled, "An Act to revise the law in relation to coun-
ties," approved and in force March 31, 1874, as amended.

the supervision and control of such county board, and it shall be law-
ful for such county board to permit such use of the building as it
deems advisable.

§ 2. Whenever the people of any county shall desire to erect, or
contribute to the erection of a memorial building in honor of their sol-
diers and sailors and shall procure bona fide subscription to the extent
of two-thirds of the estimated cost thereof, it shall be lawful for any
county by a two-thirds vote of the board of supervisors or board of
county commissioners, as the case may be, to contribute such sum or
sums of money toward the cost of erecting such a memorial building
not exceeding one-third of the cost thereof, as shall be deemed discreet
and proper : Provided, that such contribution shall be made subject
to the following conditions: (1) said building shall be constructed in
accordance with plans, approved by such county board ; ( 2 ) when
erected, shall be forever used exclusively for public or civic purposes;

able for a site for a memorial building, it shall be lawful for the board
of supervisors or board of county commissioners, as the case may be,
by two-thirds vote, to enter into a lease for a period not exceeding ninety-
nine years, by which said real estate may be leased to the organiza-
tion or individuals contemplating the erection of a memorial building
through private donations or contributions : Provided, the amount
contributed or donated by public subscriptions for such purpose shall
be equal to at least double the value of such real estate: Provided,
further, that said lease shall provide that said building shall, when
erected, be used exclusively for public or civic purposes, and that upon
the expiration of said lease, or the violation of any of its terms or
conditions, the improvements thereon shall revert to and become the

An Act in relation to motor vehicles and to repeal a certain Act therein

named.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

Whenever the term "motor vehicle" is used in this Act, it shall be
construed to include automobiles, locomobiles, motor bicycles, tractors,
traction engines, and all other vehicles propelled otherwise than by
muscular power, and including also vehicles or trailers, or semi-trailers
pulled or towed by a motor vehicle, but excluding cars of electric and
steam railways and other motor vehicles running only upon fixed rails
or tracks. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to apply to or to affect
bicycles or tricycles or such other vehicles as are propelled exclusively by
muscular pedal power.

Whenever the term "improved highway" is used in this Act it
shall be construed to include roads of concrete, . brick, asphalt, macadam
and gravel.

§ 2. This Act shall be known as the "Motor Vehicle Law," and
may hereafter be referred to by that designation. For the purposes of
this Act, motor vehicles as a class shall be divided into two divisions;
viz. :

First: Those vehicles which are designed and used for the carry-
ing of not more than seven persons.

Second : Those vehicles which are designed and used for pulling or
carrying freight and also those vehicles or motor cars which are designed
and used for the carrying of more than seven persons.

§ 3. The weights and dimensions of vehicles of either division
mentioned in section ,2 of this Act shall be limited as follows, towit :

(1) The maximum gross load to be permitted on any axle of any
vehicle shall not exceed sixteen thousand pounds ; and the gross weight
of any vehicle, including the weight of the vehicle and maximum load,
shall not exceed 800 pounds per inch of the average width of tire of
the road wheels of such vehicles in actual contact with the surface of
the road.

670 MOTOR VEHICLES.

(2) Weight limits 50% above those provided for herein
may be permitted by ordinance in cities having a population of more
than 20,000 but such increase shall not apply to vehicles when outside
the limits of such a city.

(3) The maximum width of any vehicle and its load shall not
exceed 8 feet, excepting loads of loose hay, straw, corn fodder, or other
similar farm products.

(4) Upon the filing in the office of the Secretary of State of an
application for the first registration of vehicles described in the second
division of section 2 of this Act, and the payment of the registration
fee hereinafter provided, the Secretary of State, or his duly authorized
agent, shall issue to such applicant in addition to the regular number
plate, a metal plate which shall not be less than four inches long and
two inches wide, upon which shall be impressed, with a metal die, the
weight in pounds of such vehicle and maximum load in conformity with
and as provided by this Act, which metal plate aforesaid shall be at-
tached to said vehicle in a conspicuous place and at all times carried
thereupon.

(5) Where trailers are used the length of any vehicle, or vehicles,
combined with their trailers, shall not exceed 65 feet; provided that
upon application to the highway or street officials having proper juris-
diction over a particular highway special permits in writing may be
granted for the operation of trains of trailers exceeding in length the
foregoing, subject to such conditions as such highway or street officials
may prescribe. On all highways under the control of or required to be
maintained in whole or in part by the State such permission shall be
obtained from the Department of Public Works and Buildings.

§ 4. After the passage and approval of this Act, no metal tired
vehicle, including tractors, traction engines and other similar vehicles,
shall be operated over any improved public highways of this State, if
such vehicle has on the periphery of any of the road, wheels any block,
stud, flange, cleat, ridge,. bolt, lug, or any projection of metal or wood
which projects radially beyond the tread or traffic surface of the tire ;
except that this prohibition shall not apply to tractors or traction engines
equipped with what is known as caterpillar tractors, when such cater-
pillar does not contain any projections of any kind likely to injure the
surface of the road; provided, however, that tractors, traction engines
and similar vehicles may be operated which have upon their road wheels
V-shaped, diagonal or other cleats arranged in such a manner as to be
continuously in contact with the road surface, provided that the gross
weight upon such wheels per inch of width of such cleats in contact
with the road surface, when measured in the direction of the axle of the
vehicle, does not exceed 800 pounds.

§ 5. All motor vehicles and all trailers or other vehicles in tow
thereof, or thereunto attached, operating upon the improved public
highways, shall have tires of rubber or some material of equal resiliency ;
provided that tires shall be considered defective and shall not be per-
mitted to be used if the rubber or other material has been worn or
otherwise reduced to a thickness of less than three-fourths of an inch or

MOTOR VEHICLES. 071

if such tires have been so worn or otherwise damaged as to cause undue
vibration when the vehicle is in motion or to cause undue concentration
of the wheel load on the surface of the road: And, provided further
that this requirement shall not apply to agricultural tractors or traction
engines or to agricultural machinery, including wagons being used for
agricultural purposes in tow thereof, or to trailers carrying agricultural
products drawn by trucks at a speed not to exceed ten miles per hour
or to road rollers or road building machinery.

§ 6. No motor vehicle shall be operated upon the improved public
highways of the State which shall be equipped with any anti-skid or
non-slip device so constructed that any rigid or non-flexible portion of
same comes in contact with the pavement; provided that this section
shall not apply to agricultural tractors or traction engines or similar
metal-tired vehicles which have anti-skid devices upon the road wheels
and which are otherwise permitted to be used under the provisions of
this Act.

§ 7. No tractor, traction engine or other metal tired vehicle, weigh-
ing more than four tons, including the weight of the vehicle and its
load, shall drive up onto, off or over the edge of any paved public high-
way in this State, without protecting such edge by putting down solid
planks or other suitable device to prevent such vehicle from breaking off
the edges of corners of such pavement.

§ 8. Every owner of a vehicle of the first division, as described
in section 2 of this Act, which shall be driven in this State, shall, except
as otherwise provided in this Act, within ten days after he becomes the
owner of such motor vehicle or motor bicycle, file in the office of the
Secretary of State an application for a certificate of registration prop-
erly sworn to, setting forth his name and address, with a brief descrip-
tion of the vehicle, or bicycle, to be registered, including the name of
the maker, factory and engine numbers, style of vehicle or bicycle and
the motor power and (except in the case of electrically propelled vehicles)
the amount of such motor power stated in figures of horse power, in
accordance with such standard rating as may be prescribed by the Secre-
tary of State, on a blank to be prepared and furnished by such Secretary
of State for that purpose and shall pay to said Secretary of State, for
each calendar year from and after January 1, 1920, a registration fee
for motor bicycles and motor vehicles of said first division, so regis-
tered, at the following rates; for each motor bicycle, the sum of $4.00
per annum ; for each motor vehicle of 25 horsepower, and less, the sum
of $8.00 per annum ; for each motor vehicle of 35 horsepower and more

vehicle of 50 horsepower and more than 35 horsepower, the sum of
$20.00 per annum; for each motor vehicle of more than 50 horsepower,
the sum of $25.00 per annum ; for each and every electrically propelled
motor vehicle, the sum of $12.00 per annum; provided, the first regis-
tration fee for each motor vehicle or motor bicycle shall be reduced 50

vided, the Secretary of State or his duly authorized agent, shall, without
further fee, assign to such motor vehicle, or motor bicycle, as described
in such application, a distinctive number and shall issue to the owner of
such motor vehicle or motor bicycle, as it is described in the application
filed, a certificate of registration, which certificate shall be in the form
of a card, which may be carried in the pocket, and which certificate
shall contain the descriptive number so assigned to such motor vehicle
or motor bicycle, the name and address of the owner, a brief description
of such motor vehicle or motor bicycle, stating the name of the manu-
facturer, the kind of motor power, and the amount of such motor power
stated in figures of horsepower or the capacity of such motor vehicle
or motor bicycle if electrically propelled. Upon filing in the office of

vehicle or motor bicycle to whom such number was first assigned shall,
not less than twenty (20) days prior to the clay of expiration of said-
registration, file an application accompanied by the fees herein speci-

number plates issued during any calendar year shall be of like design
and color combination for motor vehicles in each division, but the num-
ber plates for motor vehicles in the first division shall be distinctly dif-
ferent from the number plates for motor vehicles in the second division.

the color of the number plates and that of the figures and letters there-
on : Provided, however, the same combination of colors may be repeated
after the lapse of five (5) years from the date of their first issue. The
owner of such motor vehicle shall not be required to place any mark of
identity upon such motor vehicle or motor bicycle other than the plates
or plate so delivered by the Secretary of State and such tax or license

which shall be so situated as to throw a red light visible in the reverse
direction. The number plate at the back of the motor vehicle provided
for in section 14 shall be firmly attached to the vehicle, so that it will
not swing loosely, and shall be so lighted that the numbers on said plate
shall be plainly legible and intelligible at a distance of fifty (50) feet.
On approaching another vehicle proceeding in an opposite direction, and
when within not less than two hundred and fifty feet of same, any person
in charge of a motor bicycle or motor vehicle equipped with electric
headlight or headlights, shall dim or extinguish such headlight or head-
lights: Provided, however, that the provision herein contained in regard
to dimming or extinguishing of head lights shall not apply when such
head lights are equipped with an anti-glare device or lenses which pre-
vent a glaring ' or dazzling light. During the period from one hour
after sunset to sunrise every motor bicycle or motor vehicle which is
standing on any road, highway or street shall display a light on the
front and at the rear of the same.

§ 17. Every person, firm, association or corporation, manufac-
turing or dealing in motor vehicles may, instead of registering each
motor vehicle so manufactured or dealt in, make a verified application
upon a blank to be furnished by the Secretary of State for a general
distinctive number for all the motor vehicles owned or controlled by
such manufacturer or dealer, such application to contain: (a) The
trade name or names of the make of the motor vehicle or vehicles manu-
factured or dealt in by such manufacturer or dealer, including the
character of the motor power, the amount of such motor power (except

per annum. Upon the payment of such registration fee such application
shall be filed and recorded in the office of the Secretary of State in
the manner provided in section 8 of this Act. There shall thereupon
be assigned and issued to such manufacturer or dealer a general dis-
tinctive number, and without further expense to him there shall be
issued and promptly delivered to such manufacturer or dealer at his
business address a certificate of registration in such form as the Secre-
tary of State shall prescribe, and two number plates with a number
corresponding with the number of such certificate of registration. The
number plates so issued shall be of distinctly different form than those
provided for in section 14 of this Act, but shall correspond in color and
oize of numbers and letters with the number plates for motor vehicles
provided for in section 14 thereof. By filing application for the same,
such manufacturer or dealer may obtain as many duplicates of such
number plates as he may desire upon payment to the Secretary of State
for each set of two plates the sum of $12.00 per annum. In case of loss
or destruction of one plate, the manufacturer or dealer may obtain a
duplicate of the same by filing affidavit to that effect and upon the pay-
ment of the fee of $6.00. Such number plates shall be conspicuously
displayed upon the front and back of every motor vehicle of such manu-

facturer or dealer when the same is operated or driven on the public
highways. Such registration shall be renewed annually in the same
manner and on the payment of the same fee as provided in this section
for original registration, such renewal to take effect on the first day of
January of each year. The provisions of section 8 relating to first
registrations made in compliance therewith and durations of renewals
shall apply to registration under this section. Upon the sale of a motor
vehicle by a manufacturer or dealer, the purchaser shall be permitted
to operate the same upon the public highways of this State for a period
of ten days after taking possession thereof, Avithout carrying license
plates, as provided in section 14 of this Act, if the purchaser shall have
in his possession a bill of sale, as hereinfater [hereinafter] provided,
and if proper application for the registration of such motor vehicle
shall have been mailed or presented to the Secretary of State, together
with the required fee, within twenty-four hours after he has taken
possession thereof.

Upon the sale of a motor vehicle by a manufacturer or dealer, he
shall thereupon give to the purchaser a bill of sale setting forth the
name and address of the purchaser, the date of purchase, together with
a description of such motor vehicle, showing name of manufacturer,
style, factory and engine numbers, and amount of horse power.

The names of the licensed manufacturers and dealers shall be fur-
nished the county clerks, sheriffs and the chiefs of police in the same
manner as provided for- in section 8 in respect to owners.

§ 18. ISTo motor vehicle or motor bicycle shall be used or operated
upon the public highways of this State after this Act shall take effect
which shall display thereon a number belonging to any other vehicle or
bicycle or fictitious registration number: Provided, however, that this
section shall not be construed to prohibit any other number being dis-
played for any lawful purpose upon a motor vehicle or motor bicycle in
addition to the number plates issued by the Secretary of State as
aforesaid.

By the first day of January of each calendar year the owner of any
licensed motor vehicle or motor bicycle shall file with the Secretary of
State a properly executed application for the re-registration of the
same, and such application shall be accompanied by the fee required in
each case by this Act.

§ 19. Immediately upon the sale and delivery of any motor vehicle
or motor bicycle which has been registered as herein provided prior to
the date of such sale by any person other than a manufacturer or dealer,
the vendor shall "remove the number plate or plates from the motor
vehicle or motor bicycle so sold, and within ten days after the date of
such sale the vendor shall send a statement of such sale, showing the
date thereof, the registration number of the motor vehicle or motor
bicycle so sold, and the name of the purchaser to the Secretary of State ;
and thereupon such number plate or plates shall cease to apply to the
motor vehicle or motor bicycle so sold, and the purchaser shall register
the same as in the case of an original registration. In all such cases,
the vendor shall give to the purchaser a bill of sale, which shall con-
form to the requirements contained in section 17 of this Act. Upon the

vehicle of like horse power or capacity or less, or any motor bicycle
owned by such vendor may be registered by such vendor, and the number
plate or plates so removed from the motor vehicle or motor bicycle so
sold shall be assigned by the Secretary of State and shall apply to and
be used upon such other motor vehicle or motor bicycle until the thirty-
first day of December then next ensuing: Provided, however, that in
case the horse power or capacity of any motor vehicle to which the unex-
pired term of the registration of the vehicle sold is sought to be applied
would have required the payment of a larger registration fee than was
paid upon the registration of the motor vehicle so sold, the vendor
thereof shall, before the number plates may be applied to or used upon
such motor vehicle of greater horse power, or capacity, pay to the Secre-
tary of State such a sum as added to the amount of the original registra-
tion fee paid for the year in which such motor vehicle is sold, equals
the amount of the registration fee provided by this Act to be paid upon
the registration of a motor vehicle of such greater horse power or
capacity : Provided, however, that the registration fee paid by the State
of Illinois or by any county, township, city, village or incorporated town
for each motor vehicle or motor bicycle owned and operated by it shall be
two dollars for each calendar year.

§ 20. The provisions of section 8, 14, 17, 18 and 19 of this Act
shall not apply to any motor vehicle or motor bicycle owned by non-
residents of this State but foreign corporations owning, maintaining
or operating places of business in this State and using motor vehicles or
motor bicycles in connection with such places of business, shall not be
exempt from the provisions of sections 8, 14, 17, 18, and 19 of this Act
in so far as the motor vehicles and motor bicycles used in connection
with such places of business are concerned : Provided, the owner thereof
has complied with any law requiring the registration of motor vehicles
'or motor bicycles or the names of the owners thereof in force in the
city, state, foreign country or province, territory or Federal district
of his residence : Provided, that the registration number showing the
initial or abbreviation of the name of such city, state, foreign country
or province, territory or Federal district, shall be displayed on such
vehicle substantially as is provided in section 14 of this Act : Provided,
further, that the provisions of this section shall be operative as to a
motor vehicle or motor bicycle owned by a non-resident of this State only
to the extent that under the laws of the city, state, foreign country or
province, territory or Federal district of his residence, like exemptions
and privileges are granted to motor vehicles or motor bicycles duly
registered under the laws of and owned by residents of this State:
Provided, further, that a non-resident within the meaning of this Act
shall be held and defined to mean a person temporarily sojourning within
this State for a period of six months or less in any one year.

limb or injure the property of any person.

"§ 62. When either party shall apply for a continuance, of a cause
on account of the absence of material evidence, the motion shall be
supported by the affidavit of the party so applying or his authorized
agent, showing that due diligence has been used to obtain such evidence,
or the want of time to obtain it, and of what particular fact or facts the
same consists, and if the evidence consists of the testimony of a witness,
his place of residence, or if his place of residence is not known, showing
that due diligence has been used to ascertain the same, and that if
further time is given such evidence can be procured. Provided, how-
ever, that when such motion shall be supported by an affidavit show-
ing that a material witness is in the military or naval service of the
United States, or on duty in the Illinois National Guard, and was in
such service prior to the term of court at which any cause at law or
in equity is about to be tried, it shall not be necessary for any party
desiring a continuance to show any diligence other than that the said
witness was in such service as aforesaid, and when such affidavit shall
be filed, the trial court shall continue such cause for a period not to
exceed six months. The court may permit an additional affidavit to
be filed to supply any necessary averment which has been omitted from
the original affidavit. The court may, by consent of the adverse party,
postpone the trial to a subsequent day in the term, without prejudice.

Therefore, be it resolved, that an emergency exists, and this Act
shall become effective from and immediately after its passage.

by virtue of any commission issued out of any court of record in any
other state, territory or country, it shall not be lawful to so compel

missioner or officer issuing such subpoena, shall at once file a petition
or complaint against the offending witness in the Circuit Court

tify, or produce books and papers before such commissioner or officer,

scribing of the deposition by the witness. If such offending witness

is wilful, and without lawful excuse, the court shall punish such wit-
ness by fine and imprisonment in the county jail, or by fine, or im-
prisonment in the county jail as the nature of the case may require,
as is now, or as may hereafter be lawful for the court to do in cases

been unequally or improperly assessed, the Tax Commission may, in its

class of the taxable property in such county, or assessment district there-

assessment officers. The order directing such re-assessment shall be filed
in the office of the county treasurer of the county in which such re-
assessment has been ordered, except in counties having an elective board
of review in which case such order shall be filed with the board of
review.

§ 13. Such re-assessment shall be made in the same manner and
subject to the same laws and rules as an original assessment and shall
be subject to review and correction by the board of review as in case of
an original assessment.

§ 14. For the purpose of reviewing and equalizing such re-assess-
ment, the board of review of the county in which the re-assessment is
made shall review and correct such re-assessment. The Tax Commission
shall fix the time and place of the meeting of the board of review to
review and correct such re-assessment. At least one week before the meet-
ing of such board of review to review and correct such re-assessment, the
board of review shall publish a notice of the time and place of its meet-
ing for such purpose in at least one newspaper of general circulation
published in the county in which such re-assessment is made. The
board of review shall convene at the time and place fixed in such order
and shall review, correct, return and certify such re-assessment in like
manner, and shall have and exercise all the powers and authority given to
boards of review and shall be subject to all the restrictions, duties and
penalties of such boards.

Equalization.

§ 18. The Tax Commission shall act as an equalizing authority.
It shall examine the abstracts of property assessed for taxation in the
several counties as returned by the county clerks and the original assess-
ments made by it, and shall equalize the assessments as in this Act pro-
vided. The Tax Commission may so lower or raise the total assessed value
of property in any county as returned by the county clerk as shall make
the property in such county bear a just relation to the assessed value of
property in other counties. The total amount of such increase or de-
crease in any one county shall not exceed ten per cent of the total as-
sessed value of all property in the State as returned for purposes of tax-
ation. The Tax Commission shall not reduce the aggregate assessed val-
uation in the State; nor shall it increase such aggregate valuation, ex-
cept in such amount as may be necessary to a just equalization.

§ 19. The Tax Commission in equalizng the valuation of property
as listed and assessed in different counties, shall consider the following
classes of property separately, viz : personal property, railroad and tele-
graph property; lands; town and city lots; and the capital and other
property of public utilities and of companies and associations assessed
by the Tax Commission and, upon such consideraton determine such
rates of addition to or deduction from the listed or assessed valuation
of each of such classes of property in each county, or to or from the
aggregate assessed value of each of such classes in the State, as may be
deemed by the Tax Commission to be equitable and just such rates being
in all cases even and not fractional ; and such rates, as finally determined
by the tax commission shall not be combined.

§ 20. In equalizing the value of personal property between the
several counties, the Tax Commission shall cause to be obtained the State
averages of the several kinds of enumerated property, from the aggre-
gate footings of the number and value of each; and the value of the
several kinds of enumerated property in each county shall be obtained
at those average values; and the value of the enumerated property thus
obtained, as compared with the assessed value of such property in each
county shall be taken by the Tax Commission to obtain a rate per cent,
to be added to or deducted from the total assessed value of such property
in each county. Whenever, in the opinion of the Tax Commission it is
necessary, to a more just and equitable equalization of such property,
that a rate per cent be added to or deducted from the value thus obtained
in any one or more of the counties, the Tax Commission shall have the
right so to do; but the rate per cent heretofore required shall first be
obtained to form the basis upon which the equalization of personal prop-
erty shall be made.

§ 21. Lands shall be equalized by adding to the aggregate assessed
value thereof, in every county in which the Tax Commission may believe
the valuation to be too low, such rate per centum as will raise the same
to its proper proportionate value, and by deducting from the aggregate
assessed value thereof, in every county in which the Tax Commission may
believe the valuation to be too high, such per centum as will reduce the
same to its proper value. Town and city lots shall be equalized in the

724 REVENUE.

same manner herein provided for equalizing lands, and, at the option
of the Tax Commission may be combined and equalized with lands.

§ 22. When the Tax Commission shall have separately considered
the several classes of property as hereinbefore required, the results shall
be combined in one table, and the same shall be examined, compared
and perfected in such manner as the Tax Commission shall deem best to
accomplish a just equalization of assessments throughout the State, pre-
serving, however, the principle of separate rates for each class of
property.

§ 23. In all cases of partial return from any county where the
number of defaulting towns or districts does not exceed one-third of
the whole number of towns or distircts in the county, the Tax Commission
may estimate the valuation in the towns or districts from which returns
have not been received and may equalize the total valuation as in other
cases.

§ 24. When the Tax Commission shall have completed its equal-
ization of assessments for any year, it shall certify to the several county
clerks the rates finally determined by it to be added to or deducted from
the listed or assessed valuation of each class of property in the several
counties. The respective assessments made by it on the capital stock,
including the franchise, of corporations assessed by it (other than of the
capital stock of railroads and telegraph companies) shall be certified by
it to the county clerks of the respective counties in which such companies
or associations are located. And said clerk shall extend the taxes for all
purposes on the respective amounts so certified, the same as may be
levied on the other property in such towns, districts, villages or cities
in which such companies or associations are located. It shall also certify
to the county clerk of the proper counties the assessments of ''railroad
track" and "rolling stock", and the assessments of the capital stock, in-
cluding the franchise, of railroad and telegraph companies. And the
county clerk shall distribute the value so certified to him to the county
and to the several towns, districts, villages and cities in his county en-
titled to a proportionate value of such "railroad track" and "rolling
stock", and capital stock, and shall extend taxes against such values the
same as against other property in such towns, districts, villages and
cities.

Miscellaneous.

§ 25. All records, books, papers, documents and memoranda per-
taining to the State Board of Equalization shall, upon the taking effect
of this Act, be transferred and delivered to the Tax Commission.

§ 26. On and after the taking effect of this Act all the powers
and duties now conferred or imposed upon the State Board of Equaliza-
tion and upon the Auditor of Public Accounts in relation to the assess-
ment of property for taxation shall be transferred to and thereafter shall
be exercised and performed by the Tax Commission.

§ 27. Whenever, in any law relating to the assessment of property
for taxation, abstracts, reports, or schedules or other papers or docu-
ments, are required to be filed with, or any duty is imposed upon, or

power vested in either the Auditor of Public Accounts or the State
Board of Equalization, such abstracts, reports, schedules, or other papers

Tax Commission any power, jurisdicton or authority to review, revise,
correct or change any individual assessment made by any local assess-
ment officer.

amended so that said sections shall read respectively as follows:

§ 178. When any special assessment made by any city, town or
village, pursuant to its charter, or by any corporate authorities, com-
missioners or persons, pursuant to law, remain unpaid in whole or in
part, return thereof shall be made to the county collector on or be-
fore the "tenth day of March next after the same shall have become
payable, in like forms as returns are made for delinquent land tax:
Provided, that in cities having a population of one hundred thousand
or more by the last preceding census of the United States or of this
State such return may be made on or before the first day of August for
all such special assessments which remain unpaid in whole or in part;
Provided, further that the subsequent advertisement, judgment and sale
of property on account of delinquent special assessments, as hereinafter
provided, shall be regarded as supplemental to and as a part of the sale
on account of delinquent taxes of the year in which the said supple-
mental judgment and sale is ordered, and the penalties provided by law,
shall attach to both general taxes and special assessments in like manner
as if there were only one judgment and order of sale. County collectors
shall collect, account for, and pay over the same to the authorities or
persons having authority to receive the same, in like manner as they
are required to collect, account for and pay over taxes. The county
collector may, upon return of delinquent special assessments to him,
transfer the amounts thereof from such returns to the tax books in his
hands setting down therein, opposite the respective tracts, or lots, in
proper columns to be prepared for that purpose, the amounts assessed
against such tract or lot.

linquent taxes and special assessments on lands and lots shall become

intended application for judgment for sale of such delinquent lands
and lots, in a newspaper printed and published in his county, if any such

is prayed, and shall contain a list of the delinquent lands and lots upon
which the taxes or special assessments remain due and unpaid, the
names of owners, if known, the total amount due thereon, and the year
or years for which the same are due. Such collector shall give notice

that he will apply to the County Court at the term

thereof, for judgment against said lands and lots for said taxes, special
assessments, interest and costs, and for an order to sell said lands and
lots for the satisfaction thereof ; and shall also give notice that, on the

Monday next succeeding the day fixed by

law for the commencement of such term of the said County Court, all the
lands and lots for the sale of which an order shall be made, will be ex-
posed to public sale at the building where the County Court is held in
said county, for the amount of taxes, special assessments, interest and
cost due thereon; and the advertisement published according to the
provisions to this section shall be deemed to be sufficient notice of the
intended application for judgment and of the sale of lands and lots
under the order of said court. Where the publisher of any paper that
may have been selected by the collector shall be unable or unwilling to
publish such advertisement, the collector shall select some other news-
paper, having clue regard to the circulation of such paper. Provided,
that in cities having a population of one hundred thousand or more by
the last preceding census of the United States or of this State separate
advertisement may be made giving notice of an intended application for
judgment and for an order of sale on account of delinquent special
assessments at any time after the first day of August next after such
special assessments shall have become delinquent, the procedure in such
case to be in all other respects except as to the time of making adver-
tisement, application for judgment and sale, the same as in the case of
delinquent general taxes."

taxes or special assessments, and in entries required to be made by the
clerk of the court or other officer, letters, figures and characters, may
be used to denote townships, ranges, sections, parts of sections, lots or
blocks, or parts thereof, the year or the years for which the taxes were
due, and the amount of taxes, special assessments, interest and costs;
and the whole of the advertisement shall be contained in one edition of
such newspaper and its supplement, if such supplement is necessary:
Provided, that nothing contained in this section shall prevent the
county collector from subsequently advertising and obtaining judgment
on lands or lots that may have been omitted through no fault of the
collector, or that may have been erroneously advertised or described in
the first advertisement; and, provided, further, that in cities having a
population of one hundred thousand • or more by the last preceding
census of the United States or of this State the advertisement for the
sale of lands and lots for -special assessments may be made separately
from the advertisement for the sale of lands and lots for taxes and on
a different date and edition of such newspaper."

768 REVENUE.

§ 185. All applications for judgment and order of sale for taxes
and special assessments on delinquent lands and lots shall be made at
the June term of the County Court except in the case of special assess-
ments in cities having a population of one hundred thousand or more by
the last preceding census of the United States or of this State. If from
any cause the court shall not be holden at the term at which judgment
is prayed, the cause shall stand continued, and it shall not be necessary
to readvertise the list or notice required by law to be advertised before
judgment and sale, but at the next regular term thereafter the court
shall hear and determine the matter; and if judgment is rendered the
sale shall be made on the Monday specified in the notice as provided in
section 182, such Monday to be fixed by the county collector in the
notice. If for any cause the collector is prevented from advertising and
obtaining judgment at said term it shall be held to be legal to obtain
judgment at any subsequent term of said court; but if the failure arises
by the county collector's not complying with any of the requirements of
this Act, he shall be held on his official bond for the full amount of all
taxes and special assessments charged against him : Provided, that any
such failure on the part of the county collector shall not be allowed as a
valid objection to the collection of any tax or assessment, or to a rendi-
tion of a judgment against any delinquent lands or lots included in the
application of the county collector; and, provided, further, that on the
application for judgment at such subsequent term it shall not be
deemed necessary to set forth or establish the reasons of such failure:
And, provided, further, that in counties where Probate Courts have been
or may hereafter be established it shall be lawful to make such applica-
tion for judgment and order of sale to the May term of the County
Court. In cities having a population of one hundred thousand or more
by the last preceding census of the United States or of this State, no
application for judgment against any lot, block, tract or parcel of land
for unpaid special taxes or special assessments shall be made before the
September term of court. The application for judgment upon delin-
quent special assessments or special taxes in each year shall include only
such special assessments, special taxes, or installments • thereof, and
interest, as shall have been returned as delinquent to the county col-
lector on or before the first day of August in the year in which said
application is made, and marked on the general tax books of the county
collector on or before the tenth day of March of the same year. Pro-
vided, that such judgment of sale shall include interest on matured
installments up to the date of such judgment."

§ 191. The court shall examine said list, and if defense (specify-
ing, in writing, the particular cause of objection) be offered by any
person interested in any of said lands or lots, to the entry of judgment
against the same, the court shall hear and determine the matter in a
summary manner, without pleadings, and shall pronounce judgment as
the right of the case may be. The court shall give judgment for such
taxes and special assessments and penalties as shall appear to be due,
and such judgment shall be considered as a several judgment against
each tract or lot or part of a tract or lot, for each kind of tax or special

REVENUE. 769

assessment included therein; and the court shall direct the clerk to
make out and enter an order for the sale of such real property against
which judgment is given, which "shall be substantially in the following
form :

Whereas, due notice has been given of the intended application for
a judgment against said lands and lots, and no sufficient defense having
been made, or cause shown why judgment should not be entered against
said lands and lots, for taxes (special assessments, "if any), interest,
penalties and costs due and unpaid thereon for the year or years herein
set forth, therefore it is considered by the court that judgment be and
is hereby entered against the aforesaid tract or tracts, or lots of land,
or parts of tracts or lots (as the case may be), in favor of the People
of the State of Illinois, for the sum annexed to each, being the amount
of taxes (and special assessments, if any), interest, penalties and costs
due severally thereon; and it is ordered by the court that the said
several tracts or lots of land, or so much of each of them as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the amount of taxes (and special assessments, if
any), interest, penalties and costs annexed to them severally, be sold
as the law directs.

Said order shall be signed by the judge. In all judicial proceedings
of any kind, for the collection of taxes and special assessments, all
amendments may be made which, by law, could be made in any personal
action pending in such court, and no assessment of property or charge
for any of said taxes shall be considered illegal on account of any irregu-
larity in the tax lists or assessment rolls, or on account of the assess-
ment rolls or tax lists not having been made, completed or returned
within the time required by law, or on account of the property having
been charged or listed in the assessment or tax list without name, or in
any other name than that of the rightful owner; and no error or in-
formality in the proceedings of any of the officers connected with the
assessment, levying or collecting of the taxes, not affecting the sub-
stantial justice of the tax itself, shall vitiate or in any manner affect
the tax or the assessment thereof; and any irregularity or informality
in the assessment rolls or tax lists, or in any of the proceedings con-
nected with the assessment or levy of such taxes, or any omission or
defective act of any officer or officers connected with the assessment or
levying of such taxes, may be, in the discretion of the court, corrected,
supplied and made to conform to law by the court, or by the person
(in the presence of the court) from whose neglect or default the same
was occasioned.

Provided, that where separate advertisement and application for
judgment and order of sale is made on account of delinquent special
taxes or special assessments in cities having a population of one hundred
thousand or more by the last preceding census of the United States or
of this State the procedure shall in all respects be the same as in this
section prescribed, except that there shall be two separate judgments and
orders for sale, the first on account of delinquent general taxes and the
second on account of delinquent special taxes and snecinl assessments.

who are included under the provisions of this Act shall be entitled to

bers of the said Eetirement Board. The persons so appointed to
elective membership shall serve until an employee who shall be elected
to serve for the unexpired portion of such term shall be chosen. Such
election shall be held concurently with and in the same manner as the
next regular annual election.

§ 3. Each of said boards of park commissioners shall annually
levy a tax (in addition to the taxes now authorized by law) upon all
taxable property embraced in the districts governed by them respectively,
at -the rate on the dollar of all such taxable property which when added

taxes shall be levied and collected with and in like manner as the general
taxes of such parks. Said taxes shall not be included in the aggregate
of all taxes to be reduced under the provisions of an Act entitled, "An

any law of this State ; provided said bank or trust company shall furnish

§ 9. The moneys under the control of the Eetirement Board,

§ 10. The Eetirement Board shall establish and administer nine
funds to be known respectively as;

(1) Expense Fund; (2) Employers' Annuity Fund; (3) Chil-
dren's Annuity Fund; (4) Compensation Fund; (5) Salary Deductions
for Annuity Fund; (6) Annuity Beserve Fund; (7) Sickness and

Supplementary Fund.

In the month of July, 1920, for a period covering the year next pre-
ceding, and in July of each year thereafter, for a period covering the
year then last preceding, each employer shall pay into these funds such
amounts as the Eetirement Board shall have certified are required to be
contributed by such employer under the provisions of this Act.

Expense fund: Such amounts as shall be paid to the Eetirement
Board to defray the administrative expenses thereof shall be paid into
a fund known as the Expense Fund. All administrative expenses of
said Eetirement Board shall be paid from this fund.

During the first fiscal year, each employer concerned shall pay to
said Eetirement Board an amount equal to one-fifth of one per cent of
the aggregate salaries of the employes of such employer involved for
such fiscal year. Thereafter each employer shall pay to said Eetirement
Board such sums as said Eetirement Board shall certify to as necesary
to defray the administrative expense of said board, but in no case shall
such sums exceed amounts equal to one-fifth of one per cent of the
salaries of the employes of the employer involved for the preceding
calendar year.

If at any time there is not a sum in the Expense Fund sufficient to
defray the current expenses of said Eetirement Board, an amount equal
to the sum necessary for such expenses may be transferred from any
other fund under the control of said board. When thereafter any sum
in excess of that required for current expenses is received into the
Expense Fund, it shall be transferred from such fund and placed in
the fund or funds from which such sums were taken until the total
amount so taken with regular interest thereon is returned to such fund
or funds.

REVENUE. ?93

If, on July 31st of any year, a sum is owing to any other fund
from the Expense Fund, an amount equal to the amount so owing
shall be charged against the employees involved, each such employee
being charged an equal part of the whole sum. A sum equal to that
charged to each employee shall be deducted from the first payment on
account of the salary of such employee.

Employers' annuity fund. Such amounts as are required under
the provisions of this Act to be paid by an employer towards the old age
retirement annuities of future entrants, or towards the annuities of
widows of future entrants, or towards the old age retirement annuities
of present employees, or towards the annuities of widows of present em-
ployees, exclusive of amounts paid to provide supplementary annuities
for present employees, or for widows of present employes, shall be paid
into a fund to be known as the Employers' Annuity Fund.

In this fund an individual account shall be kept for each employee
towards whose old age retirement annuity the employer is contributing,
and as contributions are received from the employer, the account of each
such employee shall be credited with the amount which the employer
has contributed towards the old age retirement annuity of such em-
ployee. At least once each year such account shall be credited with the
proper interest accumulations. On the date when such employee enters
upon his annuity, or attains the age of sixty years, whichever event
shall first occur, the accumulated amount to the credit of such employee
on such date shall be transferred to the Annuity Eeserve Fund and
placed to the credit of the employee in such fund.

If an employee withdraws from service before his attainment of the
age of fifty-five years and retains his eligibility for annuity, the total
amount thus credited to the account of such employee, with interest
accumulations, shall remain in the fund until such employee enters upon
annuity or attains the age of sixty years, whichever event shall first
occur, and the amount of such accumulation available under the pro-
visions of this Act for old age retirement annuity of the employee shall
then be transferred from this fund to the Annuity Eeserve Fund and
be placed to the credit of such employee in such fund.

If a male employee dies while in service before attainment of the
age of sixty years, leaving a widow, or if a male employee who with-
drew from service before his attainment of the age of fifty-five years,
dies before entering upon his annuity, leaving a widow eligible for
annuity, the accumulation or that part of the accumulation on the date
of the death of the employee necessary to provide the annuities stated
herein for such widow shall be transferred from this fund to the Annuity
Eeserve Fund and be placed to the credit of such widow in such fund.

During the first fiscal year, each employer concerned shall pay to
each Eetirement Board for children's annuities an amount equal to
one-half of one per cent of the aggregate salaries for such fiscal year of
the employes involved of such employer. Thereafter such employer
shall pay to said Eetirement Board such proportionate part of the total
amount certified to by said Eetirement Board as being necessary for
children's annuities as the aggregate salaries of all the employees of
such employer in the fund bears to the aggregate salaries of all the
employees of all employers involved in the fund.

If at any time there is not in the Children's Annuity Fund of the
Eetirement Board a sum sufficient to pay annuities to children accord-
ing to the provisions of this Act, a sum equal to the amount required
for such purpose may be transferred to such fund from any other fund
under the control of said board and used for the payment of such
annuities. When thereafter any sum in excess of that required for
current payment of annuities from the Children's Annuity Fund is re-
ceived into such fund, it shall be transferred from such fund and placed
in the fund or funds from which such sums were taken until a sum
equal to the full amount so taken with regular interest thereon shall
be returned to the fund or funds from Avhich such transfer or transfers
were made.

All children's annuities shall be paid from this fund.

Compensation fund. Such amounts as shall be paid by the em
ployer to provide the benefits provided for herein, in case of death 01
injury of an employee in consequence of the direct performance of duty,
shall be paid into a fund to be known as the Compensation Fund. There
shall be paid from this fund:

(a) Amounts equal to the combined percentages of salary of the
disabled employee, required from employer and employee for old age
retirement annuity purposes for such employee during the period of such
disability. Such amounts . shall be paid into the Employers' Annuity
Fund and the Salary Deductions for Annuity Fund, respectively, in
proper proportions and credited to such employee in such funds.

(b) Such amounts as are necessary to provide the annuity or
annuities stated in this Act in the case of death or injury of an emeployee
in consequence of the direct performance of duty, except children's
annuities, in excess of any annuity which may be provided from funds

the Annuity Eeserve Fund.

During the first fiscal year, each employer concerned shall pay to
the Eetirement Board to provide the annuities provided for herein in
case of death or injury of an employee in consequence of the direct
performance of duty, an amount equal to one half of one per cent of the
aggregate salaries for such year of the employes involved of such em-
ployer. Thereafter, such employer shall pay to the Eetirement Board
such proportionate part of the total amount certified to by such Eetire-
ment Board as being necessary for annuities in cases of death or injury
of an employee in consequence of the direct performance of duty as
the aggregate salaries of all the employes of such employer in the fund

REVENUE. 795

bears to the aggregate salaries of all the employes of all empoyers
involved in such fund.

If at any time there is not in the Compensation Fund of the Re-
tirement Board a sum sufficient to pay annuities to employes in case
of death or injury in consequence of the direct performances of duty
according to the provisions of this Act, a sum equal to the amount re-
quired for such purpose may be transferred to such fund from any
other fund' under the control of said board and used for the payment of
such annuities. When thereafter any sum in excess of that required for
current payment of annuities from the Compensation Fund of such
board is received into such fund, it shall be transferred from such fund
and placed in the fund or funds from which such sums were taken until
a sum equal to the full amount so taken, with regular interest thereon,
shall be returned to the fund or funds from which such transfer or
transfers were made.

Salary deductions for annuity fund: The amounts deducted from
salaries of the employes for old age retirement annuity purposes shall
be paid into a fund to be known as the Salary Deductions for Annuity
Fund.

In this fund an individual account shall be kept with each employee
who is under the age of sixty years when he comes under the provisions
of this Act, until such employee attains the age of sixty years or enters
upon old age retirement annuity if such employee enters upon such an-
nuity before attainment of such age, and with each employee after his
withdrawal from service if such employee retains his eligibility for old
age retirement annuity until such employee enters upon such annuity.
As deductions are made from the salary of the employee, each such
account shall be credited with the amount of each such deduction, and
at least once each year, each such account shall be credited with the
proper interest accumulations. When any such employee enters upon
an old age retirement annuity or attains the age of sixty years which-
ever event shall first occur, the accumulation to the credit of such em-
ployee on such date shall be transferred to the Annuity Eeserve Fund,
and shall be placed to the credit of such employee in such fund except
that: If any deductions from salary for old age retirement annuity
purposes are required from a present employee after his attainment of
the age of sixty years, they shall be paid into this fund, until such time
as all such payments have been fully made, or until the employee re-
tires on old age retirement annuity, which ever event shall first occur.
The accumulation to the credit of such employee for old age retirement
annuity purposes shall then be transferred to the Annuity Eeserve Fund
and placed to the credit of said employee in such fund.

When any accumulation to the credit of any such employee or
former employee is transferred to the Annuity Reserve Fund, if such
employee has a wife, or if such former employee has a wife eligible for
annuity, the accumulation to the credit of such employee to provide a
widow's annuity for the wife of such employee or former employee shall
be transferred to the Annuity Reserve Fund and placed to the credit of
such wife of such employee or former employee in such fund.

acumulation on the date of death of such employee from deductions
from salary for old age retirement annuity shall be transferred from
this fund to the Annuity Eeserve Fund and placed to the credit of such
widow in such fund.

If a male employee dies while in service before attaining the age
of sixty years, leaving no widow but leaving children eligible for annuity,
or if a male employee who withdrew from service upon or after his
attainment of the age of fifty-five years dies before entering upon
annuity, leaving no widow but leaving children eligible for annuity, all
or such part of the accumulation on the date of death of such employee
from deductions from salary of such employee for old age retirement
annuity as may be necessary to provide annuities for the children of
such employee shall be transferred from this fund to the Children's
Annuity Fund and placed to the credit of such children in such fund.

When an accumulation for old age retirement annuity is placed to
the credit of an employee in this fund, there shall be deducted from
the amount of such accumulation an amount equal to two per cent of
the amount of such accumulation, to provide for refunds in accordance
with the provisions of this Act. The amount of annuity which the
remainder of the accumulation will provide according to the American
Experience Table of Mortality and four per cent interest shall then be
determined. The amount of annuity thus determined shall be the
amount payable from this fund as hereinbefore in this section stated
under the heading Compensation Fund in case of injury in consequence
of the direct performance of duty.

When an accumulation of old age retirement annuity of an em-
ployee is placed to the credit of the widow of such employee in the fund,
there shall be deducted from the amount of such accumulation an
amount equal to two per cent thereof to provide for refunds in accord-
ance with the provisions of this Act. The amount of annuity which the
remainder of the accumulation will provide according to the American
Experience Table of Mortality and four per cent shall then be de-
termined. The amount of annuity thus determined shall be the amount
payable from this fund as stated under the Compensation Fund in this
section above in case of death or injury of such employee in consequence
of the direct performance of duty.

From the Annuity Eeserve Fund shall be paid all or such part of
any annuity payable to any person as can be provided for such person
according to the American Experience Table of Mortality and four per
cent interest from the funds placed in such fund to the credit of any

REVENUE. 797

If at any time there is not in the Annuity Eeserve Fund a sum
sufficient to pay such annuities as are to be paid from such fund, a sum
equal to the amount required for such purpose may be transferred to
such fund from the Employers' Annuity Fund or the Investment and
Interest Fund and used for the payment of such annuities. When
thereafter any sum in excess of the reserve on all annuities entered upon
or prospective is received into such fund, it shall be transferred from

transferred until a sum equal to the full amount so taken, with regular
interest thereon, shall be returned to the fund or funds from which

to provide for sickness and accident benefits as specified in this Act shall
be paid into a fund to be known as the Sickness and Accident Fund, and
all benefits paid because of sickness or accident shall be paid from this
fund.

If at any time there is not a sum sufficient in the Sickness and
Accident Fund to pay the sickness and accident benefits provided in
this Act, a sum equal to the amount required for such purpose may be
transferred to such fund from any other fund or funds under the con-
trol of said board and used for the payment of such benefits. When
thereafter any sum in excess of that required for current payment of
benefits from the Sickness and Accident Fund is received into the
Sickness and Accident Fund, it shall be transferred from such fund
and placed in the fund or funds from which such sums were taken until
a sum equal to the full amount so taken with regular interest thereon
shall be returned to the fund or funds from which such transfer or
transfers were made.

Investment and interest fund. All gains from investments and all
interest earnings shall be paid into a fund to be known as the Invest-

Employers' supplementary fund. Each employer shall pay an-
nually into a fund to be known as the Employers' Supplementary Fund,
the amounts required under the provisions of this Act, as stated in this
section below, to provide supplementary annuities and supplementary
life insurance for present employees as stated elsewhere herein. Such
payments shall be continued until the amounts credited to this fund
shall be equal to the liabilities of this fund, calculating annuities entered
upon or prospective according to the American Experience Table of
Mortality and four per cent interest.

When the assets credited to the fund are equal to the liabilities as
aforesaid, then assets equal to the amount of liabilities involved shall
be credited to other appropriate funds under the jurisdiction of the
Retirement Board, and this fund shall become discontinued.

The amount which the employers shall pay annually into this fund
to provide the supplementary annuities for present employees and widows
of present employees, as specified in this Act, shall be two hundred and

"98 REVENUE.

sixty thousand dollars. Of this amount, each employer shall pay that
proportionate part which the aggregate of the salaries, for the fiscal year
preceding the year in question, of all employees who are under the
provisions of this Act, of such employers, bears to the aggregate of the
salaries during such fiscal year of all employees, who are under the pro-
visions of this Act, of all employers as defined in this Act.

§ 11. If an employee be a future entrant, the amounts to be con-
tributed by such employee and by the employer of such employee for
old age retirement annuity for such employee shall be as follows :

From each payment of salary of each such employee there shall be
deducted an amount equal to four per cent of the amount of such salary.
These deductions shall begin when the employee enters the service and
shall continue until the date when the accumulation from such deduc-
tions, if improved at regular interest for a period of time equal to the
period between such date and the date when such employee would
attain the age of sixty years, would provide, on the date when such
employee attains the age of sixty years, a sum which, after two per
cent of such sum is deducted therefrom, will be sufficient to provide
for such employee, as of age sixty, an annuity of an amount equal to
thirteen and one-third per cent of the highest salary received hy such
employee during any service year ; except that no deductions from salary
for annuity purposes for such employee shall be made after such em-.
ployee shall have attained the age of sixty years.

The employer of any such future entrant shall contribute for each
service year of such employee in the ratio of two to one with such
employee.

In determining the amounts to be paid by the employer on behalf
of each such employee in conformity with this ratio, the contributions
made by each employee during any fiscal year shall be accumulated at
regular interest to the end of such year, and the employer shall con-
tribute amounts bearing to the total of such accumulated amounts, the
ratio stated, reckoning regular interest between the end of such fiscal
year and the dates when payments by the employer are made.

The foregoing provisions of this section shall be modified to the
extent that if the accumulation on the date to which deductions from
salary are to continue shall be insufficient to provide an annuity of six
hundred dollars, as of age sixty, under the foregoing provisions, then
deductions from the salary of such employee and contributions of the
employer for old age retirement annuity purposes for such employee,
shall continue until such date as such accumulation under such pro-
visions shall provide an annuity as of age sixty, provided however, that
no deductions from salary for old age retirement annuity purposes or
no contributions from the employer for such purposes shall be made
after any such employee shall have attached [attained] the age of sixty
years.

§ 12. The Eetirement Board shall determine as of July 1, 1919,
the amount which would have been to the credit of each present em-
ployee for old age retirement annuity of such employee, from contribu-
tions of the employer under the provisions of this Act, if this Act has

REVENUE. 799

been in full force and effect as of the date of the commencement of the
service of any such employee, except that in making such determination
it shall be assumed that :

(1) The salary of the employee was the same during his entire
period of prior service as upon the date when he comes under the pro-
visions of this Act: .

(2) The period of service of the employee is equal to the entire
period of service which the employee gave to any of the employers as
defined in this Act, up to July 1, 1919, including, in any case where the
employee is over the age of sixty years, all service rendered after such
employee attains the age of sixty years.

An amount equal to the amount determined under the foregoing
provisions of. this section in the case of any present employee shall be
treated for purposes of this Act as an accumulation to the credit of
such employee on July 1, 1919, from contributions of the employer.

The annuity which' the amount equal to the amount of such accu-
mulation will provide for any such employee shall be paid to such em-
ployee as a supplementary annuity. Any such annuity shall be paid
from the Employers' Supplementary Fund.

§ 13. If an employee be a present employee, the amounts to be
contributed by such employee and the employer of such employee for old
age retirement annuity for such employee, after July 1, 1919, and the
period during which such contributions shall be made shall be as follows :

From each payment on account of salary of each present employee,
there shall be deducted an amount equal to four per cent of the amount
of such payment. These deductions shall begin on July 1, 1919, and
shall continue until such date as the amounts thus deducted will pro-
vide an accumulation equal to that which would be provided on such
date, assuming regular interest to such date, from deductions from
salary of such employee if such employee had been under the provisions
of this Act from the beginning of his service and the salary of such
employee during his period of prior service was the same as it shall be
on July 1, 1919.

If any present employee be under the age of sixty years on July
1, 1919, and the accumulation to the credit of such employee on such
date to provide a supplementary annuity for such employee be such that
an amount equal to the amount of such accumulation when improved at
regular interest to the date when such employee would attain the age
of sixty years, would be insufficient to provide an annuity for such em-
ployee on such date of an amount equal to twenty-six and two-thirds
per cent of the highest salary received by such employee during any year
of service, then the employer of such employee shall contribute amounts
and for a period as follows :

The employer shall contribute an amount equal to eight per cent
of the amount of each payment made to sueh employee on account of
salary. Such contributions shall begin on July 1, 1919, and shall
continue until the date when the accumulation from such contributions,
improved at regular interest to such date, together with the accumu-
lation to the credit of such employee on July 1, 1919, from contributions
of the employers, similarly improved at interest, will provide an accu-

initiation which, when improved at regular interest for a period of time
equal to the period between such date and the date when such employee
would attain the age of sixty years, would provide on the date when such
employee would attain the age of sixty years, an accumulation which,
after deduction therefrom is made as stated below, will be sufficient to
provide an annuity of an amount equal to twenty-six and two-thirds
per cent of the highest salary received by such employee during any year
of service of such employee, or, such contributions shall continue to
"the date when such employee shall have attained the age of sixty years,
whichever event shall first occur. The deduction from the accumulation
to the credit of any such employee shall be two per cent of that part
of the accumulation derived from contributions of the employer for
old age retirement annuity for such employee made on account of service
rendered subsequent to July 1, 1919.

§ 14. An employee who withdraws from service after at least ten
years of service and before attainment of the age of fifty-five years, will,
if he shall not have availed himself of the refund privilege described in
this Act, become entitled to an annuity beginning on the date when
he attains the age of fifty-five years or, at his option, at any later date.

An employee who withdraws from service after at least ten years
of service, upon or after attainment of the age of fifty-five years, and
before attainment of the age of sixty years, will become entitled to an
annuity which he may enter upon immediately or, at his option, at any
later date.

The amount of such annuity for any such employee shall be that
which can be provided from the total of the accumulations derived as
stated hereinafter, at the attained age of the employee on the date when
he enters upon his annuity, except that the amount of such annuity shall
not in any case be in excess of the amount to which such employee shall
be entitled upon attainment of the age of sixty years.

First : The accumulation from deductions from salary of such
employee for old age retirement annuity on the date of his withdrawal
from service, improved at regular interest to the date when he enters
upon his annuity or attains the age of sixty years, whichever event shall
first occur, less two per cent of such accumulation.

Second : One-tenth of the accumulation, on the date of his with-
drawal from service, of the contributions made by the employer on his
behalf for old age retirement annuity on account of service rendered
subsequent to his coming under the provisions of this Act, less two per
cent of such accumulation, together with, if he be a present employee,
one-tenth of the accumulation on the date of his withdrawal from
service of an amount equal to the amount to the credit of such employee
when he comes under the provisions of this Act to provide the supple-
mentary annuity provided by the employer, for each complete year of
service rendered in addition to ten complete years of service up to one
hundred per cent of such accumulation, improved at regular interest
from the date when he withdraws from service to the date when he
enters upon his annuity or attains the age of sixty years, whichever
event shall first occur.

when he enters upon an annuity from the total of the accumulation
derived as stated below, except that, subject to the modification of
section 17, the amount of annuity which any present employee shall
receive shall not exceed that which a future entrant would receive if
such future entrant were of like age at entrance into service, like salary
per year of service, and like period of service, with such present em-
ployee :

First : The accumulation from deductions from salary of such em-
ployee for old age retirement annuity on the date when he withdraws
from service, less two per cent of such accumulation.

§ 17. The amount of annuity for a present employee shall be that
which can be provided from the contributions made by and on behalf of
such employee according to the provisions of this Act; provided, how-

years on the date when he retires on annuity, the amount of annuity
which such employee shall receive shall not be less than forty per cent
of the average salary received by such employee during the five years
of service next preceding the date when such employee retires on
annuity.

§ 18. If an employee, -whether present employee or future. entrant,
be a male employee and under the age of sixty years, or if a present

made for old age retirement annuity for such employee, an amount equal
to one per cent of the amount of such payment on account of salary, to
provide for a widow's annuity; 'provided, however, that if a present
employee who is under the age of sixty years on July 1, 1919, shall
have no wife on the date when he shall attain the age of sixty years, no
deductions from the salary of such employee to provide a widow's an-
nuity shall be made after such employee shall attain the age of sixty
years, or if the wife of a present employee, from whose salary deductions
are being made to provide a widow's annuity after such employee attains
or shall have attained the age of sixty years shall die while such deduc-
tions are being made, nor further deductions from the salary of such
employee for widow's annuity shall be made.

The employer shall contribute for a widow's annuity for any such
employee, an amount equal to twice the amount deducted from the
salary of such employee.

If any such employee be a present employee, the employers shall
assume payment of a supplementary annuity to the widow of such
employee, if such employee shall leave a widow eligible for annuity, of
an amount equal to that which can be provided from an accumulation
equal to one quarter of the accumulation to the credit of such em-
ployee on July 1, 1919, as stated in section 12 hereof.

An amount equal to the amount determined as stated in the pre-
ceding paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Act as an accumu-
lation to the credit of such employee on July 1, 1919, for a widow's
annuity, from contributions of the employer.

The annuity which the amount equal to the amount of such accu-
mulation will provide for the widow of any such employee shall be paid
to such widow as a supplementary annuity. Any such annuity shall be

§ 19. On the date when any employee or former employee retires
on annuity, if such retirment took place before or upon attainment of
the age of sixty years, or on the date when any employee attains the age
of sixty years while in service if such employee be a future entrant or
if such employee be a present employee whose contributions for old age
retirement annuity are completed, or on the date when any employee
retires on annuity, provided such employee is a present employee from
whom contributions shall be required after his attainment of the age
of sixty years if he remains in service, if such employee has a wife who
is eligible for annuity, the accumulation on such date to the credit of'
such employee to provide a widow's annuity, less a deduction therefrom
as stated in this section below, shall be used to provide a widow's
annuitv for such wife as of her attained as;e on such date, such annuity

annuity payable to a widow of a present employee shall not be in excess
of that which would be payable to a widow, of like difference in age, as
compared with the age of her husband, with such widow, of a future
entrant of like age at entrance, like salary per year, and like period of
service, with such employee.

If any employee shall die, leaving a widow, and the death of such
employee shall occur before the accumulation to the credit of such em-
ployee to provide a widow's annuity shall be used to provide such
annuity, or if a former employee shall die before entering upon annuity,
leaving a widow eligible for annuity, such widow shall receive an
annuity of the amount which the accumulation to the credit of such em-
ployee for old age retirement and widow's annuity purposes on the date
of death of such employee, less a deduction as stated below, will provide,
except that:

1. If such accumulation is more than sufficient to provide an
annuity of two-thirds of forty per cent of the salary of the deceased
husband for such widow on the assumption that her age was exactly
five years younger than that of her husband, then the accumulation
from contributions of the employer shall be used only to the extent to
which it would be used to provide an annuity of two-thirds of forty
per cent of such salary if her age were exactly five years less than that
of her husband.

2. The annuity to a widow of a present employee shall not be in
excess of that which would be payable to a widow, of like difference in
age, as compared with the age of her husband, with such widow, of a
future entrant of like age at entrance, like salary per year and like
period of service with such employee.

The deduction from the accumulation to the credit of any such
employee to provide a widow's annuity shall be two per cent of that
part of such accumulation as is derived from deductions from salary of
such employee plus two per cent of that part of such acumulation as
is derived from contributions of the employer after July 1, 1919, for
a widow's annuity for the widow of such employee.

§ 20. Annuities shall be payable to children of the blood of em-

child is not attending school; if no widow survives, a child's annuity in
all cases specified above, shall be five dollars ($5.00) more per month
than the amounts stated; provided, however, that the combined annuities
of a widow and children shall not exceed forty per cent of the salary

account of salary of such employee during such year.

Thereafter each employer shall contribute in equal amounts with
the employes of such employer during any fiscal year. In determining
the amounts to be paid by the employer on behalf of each employee, the
contributions made by each employee during any fiscal year shall be
accumulated at regular interest to the end of such year and the em-
ployer shall contribute equal amounts to the total of such accumulated
amounts, reckoning regular interest between the end of such fiscal year
and the dates when payment by the employer are made.

Each employee contributor shall, for the purposes of this fund,
contribute during any fiscal year after the first, a percentage of salary,
which percentage shall be the same for all employees, to be determined
by the Retirement Board from estimates based on the experience of the
Sickness and Accident Fund of the preceding year. In this connection

REVENUE. 805

the salary of the year shall be the actual salary of the employee during
the year, but not to exceed $2,500 per year.

If at the end of any fiscal year a balance remains in the fund, such
balance shall be used during the following fiscal year to reduce the
payments of both employers and employes in equal amounts as between
employers and employes.

§ 24. A contributor to the Sickness and Accident Fund who be-
comes disabled on account of illness or accident not in consequence of
direct performance of duty, whose disability extends beyond the time
allowed under laws, ordinances or administrative rules for sick leave
with pay shall be eligible for the sickness and accident benefits provided
under the provisions of this Act during the period of disability until
the employee attains the age of sixty-five years, except that the period
during which the disability benefit shall be payable shall not exceed a
period equal to one-half the period of service of the employee before
disability benefits were granted, nor shall such period exceed ten years.
Payment of benefits from the Sickness and Accident Fund shall be
subject to rules to be adopted by the Retirement Board which rules
shall prescribe the length of time which must elapse between the time
when disability occurs and the time when receipt of such benefits shall
begin.

The amount of such benefit shall be thirty per cent of the salary,
not in excess of $2,500, of the employee at the time of disability, less
such percentages of salary as such employee is required to pay for old
age retirement annuity and widow's annuity purposes. Amounts equal
to such percentages of salary shall be paid into the Salary Deductions
for Annuity Fund and placed to the credit of the disabled employee
therein.

§ 25. The provisions of this Act shall be modified in so far as
they apply to employees whose salaries are on other than an annual
salary basis, as follows :

Contributions required from contributing employes and employers
to provide the sickness and accident benefits provided herein for any
such employes shall be made under the following provisions :

Each such employee shall pay in advance one-twelfth of the amount
of the annual contribution required to be made by such employee to the
Sickness and Accident Fund. Thereafter contributions in advance shall
be made as follows :

From each payment on account of salary to such employee dimng
any month, there shall be deducted an amount equal to one twenty-
fourth of the amount of annual contribution required for such benefits.
At the end of the month, the account of such employee shall be credited
with such amount as is to be contributed by the employer as stated
below. If at the end of any month a deficiency exists in the contribu-
tions required for such benefits, the amount of such deficiency shall be
paid by such employee, and if not paid, it shall be deducted from the
first amount due the employee in salary or wages in the succeeding
month. If at the end of such succeeding month such deficiency is not
removed, the employee shall cease to be a contributor to the Sickness

806 REVENUE.

and Accident Fund. Such employee may however again become a
contributor by passing the medical examination prescribed by the Ee-
tirement Board and paying the cost of such examination.

If at the end of any fiscal year, the account of any such employee
shows a balance to the credit of such employee of an amount in excess
of the amount required as contributions toward the Sickness and Acci-
dent Fund for such year, plus one-twelfth of the amount of such annual
contributions required from such employee, an amount equal to the
amount of such excess shall be paid to such employee.

The contributions to be. made by the employer during any month
shall be:

For any employee whose salary is on a monthly basis, one twenty-
fourth of the amount of annual contribution required, for each month
during which such employee was in service.

For any employee whose salary is on other than an annual or
monthly basis, one six-hundredth of the amount of annual contribution
required, for each day during which such employee was in service.

§ 26. The Eetirement Board shall require an employee who is in
receipt of any benefit because of disability, to undergo medical exam-
ination at least once each year by a physician or physicians designated
by the Eetirement Board. Should the Eetirement Board decide as the
result of such examination that such employee is no longer disabled
for the performance of duty, said Eetirement Board shall discontinue all
benefits to such employee. The head of the department in which the
employee was employed at the time of his disability shall, upon notifica-
tion by the Eetirement Board, reinstate such employee in such position
as was held by and at such a rate of salary as was paid to such employee
at the time when disability began.

Should such employee refuse to submit to any such examination,
any benefits being paid such employee under the provisions of this Act
because of disability shall be discontinued immediately.

Upon application, approved by the Eetirement Board, of any em-
ployee who is in receipt of benefits under the provisions of this Act
because of disability, such employee shall be restored to active service by
the head of the department in which such employee was employed at
the time of his disability.

§ 27. If an employee, before his attainment of the age of sixty-five
years shall be so disabled as the direct result of performance of duty,
that he cannot perform the duties of his position, he shall receive, while
so disabled, an annuity equal in amount to seventy-five per cent of his
salary as it shall be at the date when such disability results, subject to
the limitations hereinafter stated.

Such employee shall also receive a further annuity, subject to the
limitations hereinafter stated, of the amount stated in section 20, on
account of each child of his blood under eighteen years of age ; provided,
however, that any such disabled employee shall not receive any annuity
in excess of the amount of his salary 'at the time of such injury less
the sums that would be deducted from the salary of such employee for

REVENUE. 807

old age retirement annuity and widow's annuity purposes as prescribed
herein, if such employee were in receipt of such salary.

If the employee be under the age of sixty-five years when such
disability results, contributions equal in amount to the contributions
therefore made by such employee, and on his behalf by the employer,
for old age retirement annuity, and for widow's annuity, if such em-
ployee be a male employee, shall be maintained by the employers during
the period of disability until the employee attains the age of sixty years.
Upon attainment of such age, the old age retirement annuity rights for
the employee, and the widow's annuity rights, if the employee be a
married male, shall be determined, and in the same manner as if the
employee were in active service.

Subject to the modifications stated in section 28, the amount of
annuity prescribed herein shall be payable to the employee during dis-
ability until he shall attain the age of sixty-five years. Upon attainment
of such age, the amount of annuity payable to such employee shall be
the amount of old age retirement annuity payable to him as specified in
this Act.

If an employee, before his attainment of age of sixty-five years,
shall lose his life in consequence of the direct performance of duty and
a widow shall survive him, then such widow, provided she does not
marry, shall receive an annuity, subject to the modifications stated in
section 28, of an amount equal to fifty per cent of the salary of such
employee as it shall be at the time of his death or injury, until the date
when such employee, if he had. been alive, would have attained the age
of sixty-five years. After such date, her annuity shall be that provided
for the widow of an employee who dies while in service, except that the
amount of such annuity shall not be less than the widow's annuity that
would have been provided for her if her husband had lived to the age of
sixty years and had received in salary an amount equal to that received
by him at the time of his death or injury.

If the widow of an employee who loses his life in consequence of
the direct performance of duty, marries, her annuity after marriage
shall be that provided for the widow of an employee who dies while in
service or after retirement on annuity. In such cases, temporary
annuities shall be computed as running from the time of the employee's
death.

All annuities payable on account of injury, or death of an em-
ployee in consequence of the direct performance of duty, in excess of the
old age retirement annuity provided for such employee upon attainment
of the age of sixty years from the Annuity Reserve Fund, and all
annuities payable to widows of such employes in excess of the annuities
provided for such widows from the Annuity Reserve Fund, shall be paid
by the employer.

§ 28. If an employee or the members of a family, as herein
described, of an employee, shall receive any compensation under or by
virtue of the Workmen's Compensation Act on account of disability or
death resulting from the direct performance of duty, the annuity or
annuities prescribed for such person or persons shall he reduced by the

808 KEVENUE.

amount or amounts of such compensation, if such amount or amounts
be less than such annuity or annuities, and if the amount or amounts
received as compensation exceed such annuity or annuities, then an
annuity or annuities shall not be payable to the recipient or recipients
of such compensation until the expiration of the period of time during
which the sum of the annuity or annuities payable at the rate herein
stated would equal the sum or sums received as compensation; except
that, if an employee attains the age of sixty years while absent from
service because of disability incurred as the direct result of the perform-
ance of duty, or attained the age of sixty years before so incurring
disability, or, if the widow of an employee who lost his life while in or
as a consequence of the direct performance of duty, attains an age at
which the employee if alive would have attained the age of sixty
years, then the old age retirement annuity provided for such employee
or the annuity provided for the widow shall thereafter be paid to the
employee or the widow as the case may be and the foregoing provisions
of this section shall apply only to amounts in excess of such annuity.

§ 29. If any employee shall withdraw from service before com-
pletion of at least ten full years of service and before attainment of the
age of sixty years, refunds shall be made upon request, or if no request
is made, then when such employee shall attain the age of sixty years.
If any employee shall withdraw from service after completion of at
least ten full years of service but before attainment of the age of fifty-
five years, refunds shall be made upon request, provided such request
is made before such employee shall have attained the age of fifty-five
years.

The amount of refund shall be an amount equal to the accumu-
lation from deductions from salary of such employee, for old age re-
tirement annuity and widow's annuity purposes, on the date when such
employee shall withdraw from service, improved at interest at the rate
of three and one-half per cent per annum from the date when such em-
ployee shall withdraw from service to the date when request for refund
is made; provided, however, that such accumulation shall not be im-
proved at interest for a longer period than twenty years from the date
when such employee shall withdraw from service.

If any male employee shall attain the age of sixty years while in
service and shall have no wife on the date when he attains such age,
or if any male employee shall enter upon annuity before his attainment
of the age of sixty years and shall have no wife on the date when he
enters upon annuity, or if a former employee has no wife eligible for
annuity on the date when he enters upon annuity, then refund shall be
made of the accumulation on such date to the credit of such employee
to provide a widow's annuity for such employee, provided no children
eligible for annuity exist.

If children eligible for annuity of any such male employee exist, an
amount sufficient to provide annuities for such children shall be de-
ducted from the amount of such accumulation and the balance, if any,
shall be refunded. When annuity rights on all children cease, any
remaining: balance shall be refunded.

REVENUE. 809

If any employee shall die while in service before attaining the
age of sixty years, or if any former employee shall die before entering
upon annuity, or if any employee shall attain the age of sixty years
while in service, or if any employee after at least ten full years of
service shall withdraw from service having attained at least the age
of fifty-five years, or if any employee, who shall withdraw from service
after at least ten years of service, but before attainment of the age of
fifty-five years, shall not make request for refund before attaining the
age of fifty-five years, the amounts subject to the right of such employee
to receive refunds shall be:

The amount accumulated from the deductions from the salary of
such employee for old age retirement annuity and widow's annuity
purposes, including all amounts paid by the employer for such purposes
in lieu of deductions from the salary of any employee disabled in con-
sequence of the direct performance of duty, less all amounts paid in
annuity to such employe and the widow and children of such employee,
shall be refunded, provided no children of such employee shall be eligible
for annuity upon death of the last survivor of employee and widow.

If children eligible for annuity survive said last survivor and a
balance over the amounts paid in such annuities exists, such part of
such balance as is necessary shall be set aside in the Children's Annuity
Fund to provide children's annuities, and the remainder, if any, shall be
refunded. When annuities to children cease, any balance remaining
shall be refunded.

The foregoing provisions of this section shall be modified to the
extent that if any annuity arises through disability or death of an
employee in consequence of the direct performance of duty, the amount
to refund shall not be reduced by any amounts paid in annuity prior to
the date when such employee attains the age of sixty-five years or would
have attained such age if alive.

Refunds of accumulation from contributions of the employer for
old age retirement annuity shall be made to the employers in the form
of a credit to reduce the contributions which such employers would
otherwise be required to make during the following year, in amounts
and under conditions as stated below.

1. If an employee withdraws from service and receives in refunds
the accumulation from deductions from salary for old age retirement
annuity and widow's annuity purposes for him, the entire amount
accumulated from contributions of the employer to provide old age
retirement annuity and widow's annuity for such employee shall be
credited to the employers when refund to the employee is made.

2. If any employee withdraws from service and does not receive
refund of the accumulation from deductions from his salary for old age
retirement annuity and widow's annuity purposes for him, the accumu-
lation of contributions by the employer for old age retirement annuity on
behalf of such employee shall remain to the credit of such employee
until the date when such employee attains the age of sixty years. Ou
such date the accumulation, or that part not to be credited to such
employee on such date, shall be credited to the employers on such date.

3. Upon death of an employee, any balance remaining after
widow's and children's annuities have been provided for, shall be
credited to the employers as of the date of death of the employee.

Eefunds shall be made as directed by the employee in writing. If
no direction is given, they shall be made to the widow of such employee
if such widow is not eligible for annuity, or if no widow exists, then to
the children of such employee in equal amounts to each, or if no children
exist, then to surviving parents, if any, in equal amounts to each, or if
there be no surviving parents, then to the heirs, executors, administra-
tors, or assigns of such employee.

In case of the withdrawal of an employee from service, the Retire-
ment Board may at its discretion defer payment of refunds for a period
not to exceed one year, except that, if at the end of the year suit is
pending to determine the employee's right to retain his former position,
payment of refunds shall be suspended until disposition is made of such
suit.

To provide for refunds as specified in this Act, there shall be
deducted from the accumulation of the sums deducted from the salary
of each employee for old age retirement annuity and widow's annuity
purposes for him, and the accumulation of the sums contributed by the
employer on behalf of each such employee for such purposes, amounts
equal to two per cent of such accumulation, as provided elsewhere in
this Act, except that no such deduction shall be made from contribu-
tions of the employer to provide supplementary annuities for present
employees.

§ 30. Any employee shall be entitled to credit as service for any
or all periods of leave of absence subsequent to the date when this Act
comes in force and effect not in excess of one-tenth of the entire term
of service rendered by such employee prior to such leave or leaves of
absence, provided that no such leave of absence shall be counted in
computing service upon which subsequent leaves of absence shall be
granted.

If an employee during any period of leave of absence and not
receiving benefits from the Sickness and Accident Fund shall pay to
the Retirement Board amounts equal to the percentage of salary there-
tofore deducted from his salary for old age retirement annuity and
widow's annuity purposes, his employer shall pay to said Retirement
Board the corresponding amounts required for such purpose. Otherwise
such employer shall not be required to make such payments.

If an employee is absent on leave of absence without pay and is
not in receipt of benefit from the Sickness and Accident Fund, he shall
be permitted to remain a contributor to the Sickness and Accident Fund
for the first thirty days of such leave of absence, by payment in advance
of an amount equal to the amount being paid by him to the Sickness
and Accident Fund at the time when such leave of absence is granted.

and thereupon become contributors under said Act in accordance with
the terms thereof. And the provisions of this Act shall become a
condition of the employment of such person and part of any contract
of employment entered into by and with such person. .

Any amount paid into the Employers' Annuity Fund, or the Salary
Deductions for Annuity Fund, shall begin to earn interest from the last
day of the calendar month when such amount is paid into such fund.

If an employee upon or after withdrawal from service before attain-
ment of the age of fifty-five years and after at least ten years of service
does not apply for refunds he shall be deemed to be eligible for annuity.

The accumulations from contributions of the employer or employers
to provide a widow's annuity for the widow of a former employee shall
not be used for annuity purposes for such widow to a greater extent
than one-tenth of such accumulation for each year of service rendered
by such employee in addition to ten full years of service.

In case of disability incurred not in consequence of the direct per-
formance of duty, amounts equal to the percentages of salary required
from such employee and the employer of such employee for old age
retirement annuity and widow's annuity purposes for such employee
shall be paid from the Sickness and Accident Fund to the Salary De-
ductions for Annuity Fund and the Employers' Annuity Fund, respec-
tively, and placed to the credit of the disabled employee therein.

In any case where the combined annuities of a widow and children
of a deceased employee, or of a disabled employee and children of such
employee, would exceed the limitation upon the combined annuities of
such a group of persons as stated in section 21, the annuities of such
widow and children, or of such employee and children, shall be pro

otherwise paid by an employee for the purposes of this Act.

or on or near to or across a town, district or such city or village line, in
which work the town, district or such city or village is wholly or in part
responsible, and the cost of which will be more than eight cents on the
one hundred dollars on the latest assessment roll, and the levy of the
road and bridge tax for two (2) years last past in said town or district

the county board shall appropriate from the county treasury a sufficient
sum to meet one-half (y2) of the expenses of said bridge or other work,

the other half of the required amount.

When it is determined by the county board to grant the prayer of
the highway commissioner, city council or village board of trustees
asking aid for the construction of such bridge or other expensive work,
the county board shall thereupon enter an order directing the county
superintendent of highways to prepare plans and specifications for such
improvement. The contract for such improvement shall thereupon be
let in the manner authorized by said county board, subject to the pro-
visions of the law relating to the letting of contracts : Provided, how-
ever when the cost of the work is less than one thousand dollars no
county, town, road district, city or village shall be liable for any part

per centum of the work actually completed may be paid the contractor
on his contract by the county, town, road district, city or village as the
case may be; provided however that no partial payment shall be made
unless approved by the county superintendent of highways, and pro-
vided further that the partial payments shall in no way be deemed an
acceptance of the work until the same has been fully completed and
accepted by the county superintendent of highways and such acceptance

or culverts on roads within eighty rods of county lines shall be built
and repaired by such counties and the expense of such construction and
repair shall be borne in proportion to the assessed value of the property,
real and personal, in the respective counties, according to the last pre-
ceding equalized assessment thereof prior to such construction or repair.

And when any county desires to construct or repair any such
bridge or culvert, and has appropriated its share of the cost of con-
structing or repairing the same, it shall be the duty of such other county
to make an appropriation for its proportionate share of the expense of
such construction or repair; and if such other county fails or refuses
to make such appropriation, any court of competent jurisdiction, upon
a proper petition for that purpose, shall issue an order to compel such
other county to make such appropriation.

which such approach or approaches may be located, and all earth ap-
proaches to any and all such bridges and culverts as have heretofon
built and constructed.

§ 39. If the county board of any such county, after reasonable
notice in writing from such other county board shall neglect or refuse
to build or repair any such bridge or culvert when any contract or
agreement covering the division of cost has been made in regard to the
same, it shall be lawful for the county board so giving notice to build
or repair the same, to recover, by suit, such amount as shall have been
agreed upon of the expense of so building or repairing such bridge or
culvert, with costs of suit and interest from the time of the completion
thereof, from the county board so neglecting or refusing.

We Therefore Command You, in the name of the People of the
State of Illinois, taking with you the necessary and proper assistance in

the (day or night time, as the case may be) to

forthwith enter the said (house, building, premises,

[seal]

Provided, if it shall appear that any such intoxicating liquor is
likely to be disposed of or removed during the night, any two judges
may issue such warrant to search any such house, building, premises,
boat, vehicle, receptacle or other place, in the night time, and shall so
direct and state in the warrant. Any warrant issued by two judges
shall be returnable to either of the judges issuing the same, or in case
both be absent or unable to act, before some other judge having cog-
nizance of the case. No intoxicating liquor or other property seized
by virtue of any such warrant shall be discharged or returned to any
person claiming the same on account of any insufficiency or informality
in the complaint or warrant, or because it is not under the seal of the
judge, but the complaint or warrant may be amended by the judge at
any time pending the proceedings. Any claimant shall be entitled to
have his right of property in such liquor and other property tried in
a summary manner before the judge to whom the search warrant may
have been returned.

§ 18. When intoxicating liquor is seized the officer making such
seizure shall in his return upon the warrant, narticularly specify all
the intoxicating liquor and other property taken, and the place where,
and the person (if any there be) from whom the same was taken, and
shall safely keep the same subject to the disposition of the judge or
court. No intoxicating liquor or other property seized under this Act
shall be taken from the custody of the officer by a writ of replevin or
other process, while any proceedings provided for in this Act are pend-
ing. A final judgment ordering the forfeiture of such intoxicating
liquor or property so seized shall be a bar to all suits for the recovery
of the same or the value thereof, or for any damage arising by reason
of the seizing or detention thereof.

§ 19. If any person shall be arrested upon any search warrant
the officer serving the same shall forthwith make and file in the proper
court or before the proper judge, an information or complaint charging
a violation of any of the provisions of anv statute or municipal ordi-
nance of this State that may appear to have been committed bv such
person, but nothing herein contained shall prevent any person from
filing such information or complaint before or after the search warrant
is issued. When any suit or prosecution is commenced for a violation
of any law, all intoxicating liquor, vessels, implements, furniture and
vehicles seized may be produced or used as evidence upon such trial and
shall be safely kept under the direction of the judge or court, so long
as may1 be needed for that purpose. Such trial shall take place as
speedily as possible and shall have preference in the order of hearing
to other cases pending before the judge or court hearing the same. As
soon as all such cases are disposed of, if it shall appear that such in-
toxicating liquor was manufactured, kept for sale, used,, disposed of, or

944 SEARCH AND SEIZURE.

transported in violation of any provision of any statute or mnnicipal
ordinance of this State, or any statute of the United States, the same,
with the vessels, implements, furniture and vehicles seized therewith
shall be adjudged forfeited and ordered forthwith destroyed _in the
manner in which the judge or court may direct, and the officer execut-
ing such order shall make return thereon to such judge or court as to
his doings in the premises; otherwise the same shall be returned to the
lawful owner thereof. If it shall appear that there was no probable
cause for swearing out the search warrant, the costs may be taxed
against the complainant and execution awarded therefor.

§ 20. No person shall be excused from testifying or giving evi-
dence before any grand jury or in any action, proceedings or prosecu-
tion relative to any violation of this Act, on the ground that his tes-
timony or evidence might or would tend to incriminate him, but no
such testimony or evidence shall in any manner be used against him
in any action or prosecution for any crime, misdemeanor or forfeiture
under any law or municipal ordinance of this State, except for perjury
committed in giving his testimony or evidence: Provided, that such
immunity shall extend only to a natural person, who in obedience to
a subpoena, gives testimony under oath or produces evidence, docu-
mentary or otherwise, under oath.

§ 21. If any lessee or tenant of any building or premises uses
such building or premises, or any part thereof in maintaining a com-
mon nuisance, as defined in this Act, or permits such use by another,
such use shall work a forefeiture of all rights of the lessee or tenant,
and render void the lease or contract of rent upon such building or
premises, and shall cause the right of possession to forthwith revert to
the owner or lessor, who may make immediate entry upon the premises
or may avail himself of any and all remedies, either at law or in
equity.

§ 22. Whoever knowingly permits any building or premises, or
any part thereof, owned or leased by him, or under his control, to be
used to keep or maintain a common nuisance, as defined in this Act,
or after being notified of such use, omits to take all reasonable measures
to eject therefrom the person so using the same, shall be deemed guilty
of keeping and maintaining such common nuisance and shall be pun-
ished accordingly.

§ 23. In all prosecutions and proceedings under this Act, by in-
dictment, information, complaint or otherwise, it shall not be neces-
sary to state the kind, nor the quantity of intoxicating liquor, manu-
factured, kept for sale, used, disposed of, or transported; nor to de-
scribe the place where the offense was committed, except that nuisances
and places to be searched shall be described in the manner herein pro-
vided; nor to show the knowledge of the principal to convict for the
acts of an agent, clerk or servant. All courts in this State shall take
judicial notice of all prohibition territory. If any person shall be con-
victed of violating any provision of this Act and shall subsequently
violate any provision of this Act, it shall not be necessary to set out
such former conviction at length, but it shall be sufficient to state iu
that regard, the time when and the name of the court where such former

couviction was had. All record books of carriers and druggists, state-
ments, prescriptions, and waybills used in handling, shipping, trans-
porting, delivering or dispensing any intoxicating liquor, under this
Act, or a sworn or examined copy thereof, shall be prima facie evi-
dence of the facts therein stated in all courts of this State. The issuance
of the internal revenue snecial tax stamp or receipt by the United
States to any person as a wholesale or retail dealer in liquors or in
malt liquors at anv place within prohibition territory shall be prima
facie evidence of the keeping for sale of intoxicating liquor by such
person at such place; or at any place of business of such person within
prohibition territory where such stamp or receipt is posted and at
the time charged in any suit or prosecution under this Act : Provided,
such time is within the life of such stamp or receipt. If any fluid in
or about any place for the search of which a warrant has been issued
or is about to be issued, be poured out or otherwise destroyed at the
time or before such place is searched, manifestly for the purpose of
preventing its seizure, such pouring or destruction shall be prima facie
evidence that such fluid was intoxicating liquor and was then and there
kept or transported in violation of this Act.

of voters at the last preceding general election exceeded four hundred
and fifty, the county board may require one or more additional ballot
boxes and places for the reception of votes to be provided which places

that are thus divided into voting precincts, it shall be the duty of the
town clerk, or if there be no town clerk, it shall be the duty of the
county clerk to post up, in three of the most public places of the town,
a notice of each of the places in the town where the county board, city
council or board of trustees has directed and required the election to

thereof. The judges of election, in their respective precincts, shall
cause two persons having similar qualifications with themselves to act
as clerks of such election, and said judges and clerks shall conduct such
election as nearly as may be in accordance with the general election laws

law of the State, and make a written statement or certificate of the
number of votes cast at such election for each person voted for, and the

earth, sand, or other material, or any refuse matter of any kind or des-
cription, or build or commence the building of any wharf, pier, dolphin,
boom, wier, breakwater, bulk-head, jetty, or other structure, or to do any
work of any kind whatsoever in any of the public bodies of water within
the State of Illinois, without first submitting the plans, profiles, and
specifications therefor, and such other data and information as may be
required, to the Department of Public Works and Buildings of the State
and receiving a permit therefor signed by the Director of said Depart-
ment and authenticated by the seal thereof ; and any person, corporation,
company, city, or municipality, or other agency, which shall do any of
the things above prohibited, without securing a permit therefor as above
provided, shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined in a sum not exceeding
five thousand dollars or imprisoned in the county jail not exceeding one
year, or may in the discretion of the court be punished by both fine and
imprisonment. Any structure, fill, or deposit erected or made in any

pality, or other agency responsible therefor, or if, in the discretion of
said Department of Public Works and Buildings, it be decided that
said structure, fill, or deposit may remain, said department may fix such
rule, regulation, requirement, restrictions, or rentals or require and
compel such changes, modifications and repairs as shall be necessary to
protect the interests of the State. If deemed in the public interest, said
Department of Public Works and Buildings may, for the purpose of
establishing uniform shore lines upon Lake Michigan or other streams
or lakes of this State, permit fills of rock, earth, or sand to be placed
inside a wall or breakwater so constructed as not to permit the escape
of such materials into such lake, river, or stream, and said Department
is hereby authorized to require of applicants for such permits such con-
tracts or to impose such restrictions as shall fully protect the interests
of the State. Wherever the terms public waters, public bodies of water,

district channel now constructed or being constructed) and lakes cap-
able of being navigated by water craft, in whole or in part, for com-
mercial uses and purposes, and all lakes, rivers, and streams which ;n
their natural condition were capable of being improved and made navi-
gable, or that are connected with or discharge their waters into navigable

Buildings to maintain stream gauge stations, and to make careful in-
vestigations of the streams of the State with reference to the carrying
capacity of all such streams in times of flood and under normal condi-
tions; to prevent the carrying capacity of streams to be limited and
impaired by fills, deposits, obstructions, encroachments therein or bridges
over same, to an extent where the same cannot safely dispose of the
flood waters which may naturally, lawfully and properly be discharged
therein; to require such changes in bridges across any navigable waters
or streams, or bodies of water made navigable, necessary to meet the
demands of navigation and commerce thereon. If the capacity of any
stream is limited and impaired by reason of any of the Acts or con-
struction in this Act provided, so as to constitute a menace to property
along the course of said stream or safety of the people of the State, or
results in damage, overflow, or an interruption to navigation, said
Department of Public Works and Buildings, shall take such action as
may be required, by injunction or otherwise, to prevent such encroach-
ments or the erection of such structures, or compel the removal or modi-
fication of same. It shall be unlawful for any person, persons, corpora-
tions, counties, cities, municipalities, or other agency to make any fill,
deposit or encroachment in, or erect any bridges, over any of the streams

which may be required, have been first filed with the said Department

state of repair, and at a heighth for proper control of water levels in the
disposal of flood waters and at normal stages, and for such purposes to
require changes and modifications therein, and to compel the installation
of fishways in existing dams wherever deemed necessary.

§ 24. It shall be the duty of said Department of Public Works and
Buildings, to carefully examine the shore lines of Lake Michigan and the
Chicago Eiver each year for the purpose of seeing that encroachments
are not made upon these bodies of water, and for the purpose of pre-
venting any land being made along the said Chicago Eiver or Lake
Michigan in such manner as might become an encroachment thereon

The Department of Public Works and Buildings, for the purpose of
preventing fills, deposits of any character, or encroachments upon any
of the lakes or rivers of this State, and for the protection of navigation
upon any of the navigable rivers and lakes of this State, or such rivers
and lakes as are capable of being made navigable by improvement, is
hereby authorized and empowered- to lay out and fix shore or harbor
lines through any city or municipality, or at any other locality where
public interests may require, and to authorize the construction of retain-
ing walls under proper restrictions and conditions. Any person or per-
sons, city or municipality, or other agency, desiring to erect such wall,
shall first secure a permit therefor upon application to and submission"
of plans, profiles and specifications to said Department of Public Works
and Buildings, the line upon which said construction is to be placed
to be fixed by survey by said Department. Whoever violates any of the
provisions of this section, or does any work herein designated without

the purpose of protecting the rights and interests of the State of Illinois,
or the citizens of the State of Illinois, have full and complete jurisdic-
tion of every public body of water in the State of Illinois, subject only
to the paramount authority of the Government of the United States
with reference to the navigation of such stream or streams, and the laws
of Illinois, but nothing in this Act contained shall be construed or held
to be any impairment whatsoever of the rights of the citizens of the
State of Illinois to fully and in a proper manner, enjoy the use of any
and all of the public waters of the State of Illinois, and the jurisdiction
of said Department of Public Works and Buildings shall be deemed to
be for the purpose of protecting the rights of the people of the State
in the full and free enjoyment of all of such bodies of water, and for
the purpose of preventing unlawful and improper encroachment upon the
same, or impairment of the rights of the people with reference thereto,
and every proper use which the people may make of the public rivers

and streams and lakes of the State of Illinois shall be aided, assisted,
encouraged and protected by the Department of Public Works and Build-

district is located. Provided, 'however,, that such board of park commis-
sioners shall file with the Department of Public Works and Buildings
the plan adopted by such park commissioners for park improvement or
enlargement.

or intend any authorization to the State of Illinois or any department
thereof, or any individual, corporation, company or person, natural or
artificial, to construct or erect any dam or equivalent thereof, in any
of the streams of this State, nor to mean or intend the grant of any
power or authority to the State of Illinois or any deparment thereof,
to grant or issue any permit to any corporation, company, or person,
natural or artificial, to construct or erect any such dam or the equivalent
thereof.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly: A deep waterway shall be con-
structed from the water power plant of the Sanitary District of Chicago,
at or near Lockport in the township of Lockport, in the County of Will,
to a point in the Illinois Eiver at or near Utica. Such waterway shall
be known as "The Illinois Waterway."

§ 2. The general route of "The Illinois Waterway" shall be as
follows :

Commencing at the water power plant of the Sanitary District of
Chicago, at or near Lockport, in the township of Lockport, in the County

to the junction of such tail race and the DesPlaines Eiver, the DesPlaines
Eiver and Illinois and Michigan Canal through the City of Joliet, the
DesPlaines Eiver to the Illinois Eiver and the Illinois Eiver to a point
therein at or near Utica.

If, in the judgment of the Department of Public Works and Build-
ings, the utilization of sections of the Illinois and DesPlaines rivers is
not practicable or feasible, then the general route above described may
be deviated from in such sections and in lieu thereof the Illinois and.
Michigan Canal may be used and improved, or channels outside of such
rivers may be constructed.

§ 3. The channel of the Illinois Waterway, where practicable, shall
be not less than one hundred and fifty feet bottom width. The mini-
mum depth of channel in the earth sections shall be not less than eight
feet and in the rock sections not less than ten feet. The minimum depth
over mitre sills of the locks shall be not less than fourteen feet. The
minimum width of locks shall be not less than one hundred and ten
feet and the minimum length shall be not less than six hundred feet
usuable length.

§ 4. The General Assembly hereby declares and finds that "The
Illinois Waterway" along the route herein defined, with the minimum
width and depth of channel herein prescribed, is practicable for a general
plan and scheme of a deep waterway and is deemed most advantageous
for such plan of deep waterway.

§ 5. The terms used in this Act shall be construed as follows :

(a) The term "waterway" shall refer to "The Illinois Waterway;"

waterway and its appurtenances without making compensation therefor.

§ 12. In the construction of such waterway, its appurtenances
and appliances, the Department of Public Works and Buildings may,
in its judgment and discretion, proceed in either of the following ways :

(1) It may let the same or any part or portion thereof to the
lowest responsible bidder; or ,

(2) It may do the same or any part or portion thereof, by the
direct employment of services, labor, materials and equipment, and may
procure and employ for such purpose the necessary superintendents,

acceptance of such bid, the department shall require that the contractor
shall adequately insure all his workmen and other emplo}^ees against
risk of all injury or death arising out of and in the course of such em-
ployment.

The compensation for either injury or death shall be paid according

compensation for accidental injuries, or death, suffered in the course
of employment'," approved June 28, 1913, in force July 1, 1913, and
all amendments thereto or revisions thereof. All contractors shall file
with the Department of Public Works and Buildings the name of the
company or companies furnishing the insurance and the acknowledge-
ment of such company that such insurance has been furnished.

§ 15. If, in the judgment of the Department of Public Works
and Buildings, work under any contract is not being performed accord-
ing to the contract or for the best interests of the State, it shall have
the power to suspend or stop the work under such contract while it is
in progress and perform the remaining parts by its own forces. It shall
thereupon become its duty to complete the same in such manner as will
accord with the contract and specifications and be for the best interests
of the State, or the contract may be canceled and readvertised and relet
in the manner in which original contracts shall have been let, and any
cost in excess of completing the contract beyond the price for which the
same was originally awarded shall be charged to and paid by the con-
tractor failing to perform the work.

the Department of Public Works and Buildings may determine, and
shall also reserve to such department the right to enter upon and com-
plete any item of the contract.

sewer systems constructed or maintained by any city or village, are
destroyed or materially interfered with, the Department of Public Works
and Buildings shall alter, rebuild or reconstruct or otherwise provide for
so much or such parts of such drainage or sewer systems so as to restore
the same to as good efficiency as found when the work herein provided
for is commenced. In the altering, rebuilding and reconstructing of
such drainage and sewer systems, streets, avenues and alleys shall be
replaced and restored to as good condition as they were when such work

or structure causing such drainage or sewer system to be changed,
damaged or interfered with.

§ 17. When the plans and specifications for the construction of
such waterway and its appurtenances shall have been perfected, such
plans and specifications shall be submitted to the city councils and village

of the filing of such plans and specifications with the respective city or

WATERWAYS. 983

village clerks, any such city council or village board may file objections
thereto, in writing, with the Department of Public Works and Buildings
on the ground that such plans and specifications do not

(a) provide for proper and adequate protection of such city or
village against damage from overflow or flood waters; or

(b) do not provide adequately for the altering, rebuilding or re-
constructing of drainage or sewer systems or other public works or
bridges and approaches, which will be destroyed or materially interfered
with by such improvement; or

(c) do not provide for the proper location of public landing places,
in case the Department of Public Works and Buildings, shall in its dis-
cretion, provide for a public landing in such city or village.

Upon the filing of such objections the Department of Public Works
and Buildings shall adjust any differences that may exist. It shall, if
such differences cannot be adjusted amicably and to the satisfaction of
all parties, review and check such plans and specifications with an
engineer selected by the objecting city or village, but compensated by
the Department of* Public Works and Buildings. If the Department of
Public Works and Buildings and the engineer of the objecting city or
village cannot agree, then the Department of Public Works and Build-
ings and such engineer of the objecting city or village shall agree upon
a third engineer, who shall be compensated by the State, and such
respective engineers shall constitute an. arbitration board to consider
such plans and specifications and the objections thereto. In case the
Department of Public Works and Buildings and the engineer of the
objecting city or village cannot agree upon a third engineer, then such
third engineer shall be designated and appointed by the resident circuit
judge, if there be one, otherwise by the presiding judge of the circuit
court of the county within which such objecting city or village is
situated. The plans and specifications as approved by a majority of such
arbitration board shall be the plans and specifications in accordance with
which such work shall be constructed as it affects such city or village.
All changes and alterations in plans and specifications shall follow the
same course of procedure as the original plans. If no objections are
filed with the Department of Public Works and Buildings within thirty
days after the filing of such plans and specifications, and alterations
therein if any, with the city and village clerks, then the construction
work shall be prosecuted in accordance with the plans and specifications,
and alterations therein if any, so filed.

The compensation of the engineer employed by the city or village
and that of the engineer on the arbitration board shall be fixed by the
Department of Public Works and Buildings in advance of employment.

Each city to which plans and specifications are submitted, as afore-
said, shall at all times have the right to inspect and examine the work
in such city in order to ascertain if such work is being prosecuted in
accordance with the plans and specifications.

of all flood waters, iidequate intercepting sewers shall be constructed
of sufficient size and at such depth as will provide outlets not only for
the present sewers that may be interfered with by the construction of
such waterway, but also of sufficient size and depth to take care of all
the watershed tributary to the DesPlaines Eiver that may be interfered
with by changing the water levels through the city of Joliet. The De-
partment of Public Works and Buildings is authorized to utilize such
riparian rights of the Sanitary District of Chicago in, through and near
the city of Joliet and along the DesPlaines Eiver in the County of Will
as, in its judgment, may be found necessary for the construction, main-
tenance and operation of such waterway, or for the development of water
power in connection therewith, and the Department of Public Works and
Buildings shall not be required to make compensation to such Sanitary
District for the right so utilized, except that the Department of Public
Works and Buildings shall reimburse such Sanitary District for any
expense to which it may be put as a result of such act of the Department
of Public Works and Buildings in the maintenance and operation of such
Sanitary District channel. The Sanitary District of Chicago shall not
be deprived of access to such waterway over any walls or embankments
constructed, or of the enjoyment of dockage rights in connection with
any property it has acquired or owns, subject only to the use of such
property by the Department of Public Works and Buildings for water-
way and power purposes.

§ 19. In the construction of the waterway through the city of
Ottawa the elevation of the water level at normal stage in the pool at
the LaSalle street highway bridge across the Illinois Eiver at Ottawa

feet Chicago city datum. Any clams constructed in connection with and
for the maintenance of this pool of water shall be of such design as to
quickly dispose of all flood waters.

In the reconstruction of outfall sewers in the City of Ottawa they
shall be of adequate size and laid at such depth as shall not interfere
with the working efficiency of the present sewerage system and shall also
be of such size and depth as will promptly and rapidly permit the
discharge of any additional sewage or water that may result or accrue
by reason of the construction, maintenance or operation of such water-
way. All remedial or preventive construction shall be done as will
prevent any and all damage to property of the City of Ottawa, its
sewerage system, streets and alleys. The same protective construction
herein provided for the City of Ottawa shall apply to all other cities

WATERWAYS. 985

and villages along the route of the Illinois Waterway not herein other-
wise specifically provided for.

In the prosecution of the work west of the City of Ottawa the
Department of Public Works and Buildings shall protect, restore or
rebuild the road bed of the Chicago, Ottawa and Peoria Railway Com-
pany.

§ 20. If, in the construction of "The Illinois Waterway" present
public bridges are damaged or materially impaired, the Department of

borne by the political division or municipality in which such public
bridges are situated and all other costs of maintenance and operation
of such public bridges shall be borne by the State. All bridges along
the route of such waterway shall be controlled by the Department of
Public Works and Buildings for the purposes of navigation.

§ 21. Before any lease of surplus waters of such waterway or the

the principal engineering and contracting journals of general circulation
in the United States, and in such other publications as the Department
of Public Works and Buildings may deem proper. The lease, if a satis-
factory bid is received, shall be awarded to the highest responsible
bidder. The successful bidder shall, before entering upon the perform-
ance of such lease, enter into a bond in a penal sum to be fixed by the
Department of Public Works and Buildings, payable to the People of
the State of Illinois, with sureties to be approved by such Department,
conditioned to comply with all the terms of such lease and faithfully to
fulfill any such contract. No contract or lease shall be made for a period
exceeding thirty years. Any lease of undeveloped power shall provide
that all plans, specifications and contracts for the- construction and in-
stallation of plants and equipment shall first be submitted to and
approved by the Department of Public Works and Buildings and such
Department shall keep an accurate account of the actual cost of such
approved construction and equipment as the work progresses. Any lease
for undeveloped power may he made in either of the following manners :

(1) The contract may provide that the lessee shall amortize the
cost of his plant and equipment during the term of the lease and shall
deliver such plant and equipment, free of cost, to the State at the
termination of the lease; or

(2) The contract may provide that the plant and equipment may
remain the property of the lessee until the expiration of his lease, or its
termination by the State. Said lease shall further provide that the
State may purchase such plant and equipment at cost, less depreciation,
at either the expiration or termination of the lease.

If the State decides under the second provision not to take over the
plant and equipment at the expiration or termination of such lease, a

re-advertisement for bids for use of such surplus waters shall be had in
the same manner as provided for in the original letting. In the event
that the lessee whose lease has expired or terminated, is not the best
bidder or an equal bidder, such lessee shall turn over, transfer and convey
to the successful bidder such plant and equipment upon payment by the
successful bidder to the lessee whose lease has expired or terminated, of
the cost, less depreciation, of such plant and equipment.

The rental specified for surplus waters, waterpower or for electrical
energy shall be subject to re-valuation each ten years of the term
created.

In determining the depreciation on plants and equipment installed
by any lessee and in re-valuing surplus waters, waterpower or electrical
energy at each ten year period, the Department of Public Works and
Buildings shall appoint one appraiser and the lessee one appraiser and
the two appraisers thus appointed shall agree upon a third appraiser.
In the event they cannot agree upon a third appraiser, the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of Illinois shall appoint a third appraiser. The
finding of such appraisers shall be binding upon the State and the lessee.

The Public Utilities Commission shall have the power to fix the rate
which shall be charged by the lessee or his assigns for any electrical
energy developed from such waterpower in the event of a lease for dis-.
tribution of such electrical energy. The provisions of this section shall
not apply to sales for a period of ten years or less when such sales are
made direct to consumers or industries of any waterpower or electrical
energy developed by the State, but such sales for a period of ten years
or less when made direct to consumers or industries may be made by the
Department of Public Works and Buildings without advertising.

In awarding contracts for the use of undeveloped or developed
power, all other things being equal, preference shall be given to munici-
palities.

§ 22. The Department of Public Works and Buildings shall main-
tain such waterway and shall prescribe reasonable rules and regulations
in the interest of navigation, which shall be observed by any lessee of
water power. In the use of water power the Department of Public

to an extent to prevent, impede or interfere with navigation.

§ 23. The State shall be liable for all damages to real estate or
personal property within or without the radius or zone of the "Illinois

all claims for damages to property, real or personal, shall be ascertained,
determined and fixed by the Department of Public Works and Buildings,

WATERWAYS. 987

and paid out of any moneys which shall from time to time be provided
for the payment of such claims.

In case the claimant and the Department of Public Works and
Buildings cannot agree on the amount of such damages, the question
shall be submitted to arbitration. The claimant shall select one arbi-
trator and the Department of Public Works and Buildings shall select
another. If the arbitrators so selected cannot agree, then the two arbi-
trators shall select a third arbitrator. In case the two arbitrators cannot
agree upon a third arbitrator, then the resident judge, or if there be
none, the presiding judge of the Circuit Court of the county wherein
the damage arose shall select such third arbitrator. The decision of a
majority of such arbitration board shall be binding and conclusive upon
the State and the claimant.

The compensation of the arbitrators shall be fixed by the Depart-
ment of Public Works and Buildings in advance of appointment and
such compensation shall be paid by the State.

All claims for damages to persons or property shall be filed with
the Department of Public Works and Buildings within five years after

ment, the State shall be liable for accidental injuries or death suffered
by any employee arising out of and in the course of his employment, the
amount of such liability to be ascertained by reference to the provisions
of the Act commonly called the "Workmen's Compensation Act." The
Court of Claims shall have and exercise jurisdiction over all claims for
compensation hereunder' and shall make and file its finding and de-
termination in each case.

§ 26. The police rules and regulations prescribed by the Depart-
ment of Public Works and Buildings shall be posted in at least twenty-
five of the most prominent places along the route of such waterway in
each county through which such waterway passes. Such rules and
regulations shall also, within ten days after they are promulgated, be
published at least once in a newspaper in each city or village situated
along the route of such waterway, if a newspaper is published in such
city or village. No rule or regulation imposing any fine, penalty or
forfeiture shall take effect until ten days after it is so posted and pub-
lished. The certificate of the publisher, with a written or printed copy
of such rules and regulations annexed, stating the number of times when
the same shall have been published and the dates of the first and last
papers containing the same, shall be sufficient evidence of the publi-
cation therein set forth. Such rules may be proved by a copy thereof
certified by the Department of Public Works and Buildings.

§ 27. The gross or total proceeds, receipts and income arising
from the operation, management and maintenance of "The Illinois
Waterway" and its appurtenances, including all receipts from the utili-
zation or lease of water power, shall be covered into a special fund in the

solids, refuse, and wastes from the liquid discharges into any of the

992 wills.

§ 7. When any will, testament or codicil shall be exhibited in the
County Court for probate thereof as aforesaid, it shall be the duty of
the court to receive the probate of the same without delay, and to grant
letters testamentary thereon to the person or persons entitled, and to do
all other needful acts to enable the parties concerned to make settlement
of the estate at an early day as shall be consistent with the rights of the
respective persons interested therein :

Provided, however, that if any person interested shall within one
(1) year after the probate of any such will, testament or codicil in the
County Court as aforesaid, appear and by his or her bill in chancery
contest the validity of the same, an issue at law shall be made up
whether the writing produced be^the will of the testator or testatrix or
not, which shall be tried by a jury in the Circuit Court of the county
wherein such will, testament or codicil shall have been proven and
recorded as aforesaid, according to the practice in courts of chancery in
similar cases; but if no such person shall appear within the time afore-
said, the probate, subject to the provisos hereinafter set forth, shall be
forever binding and conclusive on all parties concerned, saving to in-
fants or non compos mentis, the like period after the removal of their
respective disabilities.

Provided further that if any person interested in any such will,
testament or codicil, within the meaning of this Act, shall die within

will, testament or codicil shall begin a suit to contest any such will,
testament or codicil, and shall die before the final determination of such

represented in the General Assembly: An Act entitled, "An Act in
relation to the probate of wills/-' approved June 3, 1897, in force July
1, 1897, as amended, is amended, by amending section 1 thereof, and
by adding a section, to be known as section la, to read as follows :

§ 1. That before any will shall be admitted to probate the per-
son desiring to have the same probated shall file a petition in the
Probate Court of the proper county asking that said will be admitted
to probate, which petition shall state the time and place of the death
of the testator and the place of his residence at the time of his death,
also the names of all the heirs-at-law, legatees and devisees with the
place of residence of each, when known, and when unknown the peti-
tion shall so state, and the said petition shall be verified by the affidavit
of the petitioner. And thereupon the clerk of said County Court shall
send by mail to each of said parties a copy of said petition, within
five days after the filing thereof, and not les^ than twenty days prior
to the hearing on said petition. And in case the post office address of
any of said parties is not shown by the said fc^ition, then publication
shall be made for at least three successive w^ks before the day set
for the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation published in the
county where said will is to be offered for probate, which publication
notice shall contain the name of the testator, the heirs-at-law, legatees
and devisees, when known, the time and place where said will is to be
offered for probate : Provided, that in case such a petition is not filed
and a will has been deposited in said County Court for the space of
10 days, then it shall be the duty of the County Court to proceed to
probate said will without petition being filed, but only after having
caused publication and notice of the intention to probate said will to
be given to the parties in interest as to the court may seem proper:
And, provided, further, that if, on the presentation of such petition,
all of the heirs and legatees of such testator shall personally appear
in court or, in case they are of legal age and under no disability, shall
file in writing their appearance and waiver of notice, then, such will
may be admitted to probate without notice. If any heir, legatee or
devisee shall be a minor the petition shall set forth the fact of such
minority and a guardian ad litem shall be appointed by the court for
such minor. In event there are unknown heirs, devisees and legatees
and it shall appear after the probate of a will that any of said unknown
heirs, devisees and legatees was a minor at the time such will was ad-

mitted to probate, then the fact that no guardian ad litem for such
minor was appointed shall not invalidate the probate of such will.

§ la. All probate of wills declared before the taking effect of this
Act, in which service was had upon any of the parties by one publica-
tion at least three weeks before the day set for the hearing in a news-
paper of general circulation, published in the county where the will

extent and purpose as if the publication had been for three successive

Building Material — Investigation of Cost.
(Senate Joint Resolution No. 17.)

Whereas, The opinion prevails that the prices of building materials are
unnecessarily high, thus retarding both public and private works, especially
as to the following items: Paints, oils, plumbing, materials, lime, cement,
gypsum, brick, crushed rock, sand, gravel, ground pitch and asphalt, steel,
iron, and all material used in building construction, and the construction
of public roads, public works and public buildings; and

Whereas, It is charged that uniform prices are charged by dealers in
many such materials, and that illegal conspiraces, combinations and trusts
in restraint of trade exist, having for their purpose extortion both of public
and private enterprises, and

Whereas, Such combinations, if existant at this period of reconstruction
and readjustment, are inimical to the public welfare, retard public and
private projects and threaten the well being, stability, and good order of
society, by conscienceless disregard of the rights of the people: Now, there-
fore, be it

Resolved, by the Senate of Illinois, the House of Representatives con-
curring therein, That a joint committee of ten (10) shall be- appointed, five
(5) members thereof to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and five (5) members thereof to be appointed by the President
of the Senate, upon recommendation of the Executive Committee, to
make a careful examination of the conditions appertaining to the prices of
the commodities heretofore referred to; to ascertain whether a combination
or combinations exist in any of said lines of business for the illegal purpose
of determining and establishing the prices of such commodities, to ascer-
tain the cost of production of said articles and the elements entering into
the same, the profits derived by such dealers, whether such dealers are
engaged in "profiteering;" to investigate such cost of production and market
price of such commodities at this time, during the period of the war with
the Central Powers of Europe, and for two years prior thereto; to investigate
the compensation to labor in the production of such material during said
periods, not with the view of diminishing wages, but merely for the purpose
of ascertaining whether prices of such -materials are disproportionate to the
profits derived therefrom, to ascertain the dividends paid by corporations
in said periods, and the profits derived by persons, firms, copartnerships, or
any character of business associations, engaged in said business during said
years; also to ascertain the charges for freight during such periods; also
to inquire into the practicability, feasibility and desirability of the State
of Illinois engaging in the business of preparing and manufacturing materials
for State and public road building purposes. Said committee shall report
their conclusions, findings and recommendations, as expeditiously as may be,
to the present General Assembly; said committee shall recommend proposed
legislation as may be deemed necessary arising out of the subject matter of
this inquiry, and to make recommendations to the Governor of the State and
the Department of Public Buildings and Works, if they deem such recom-
mendations necessary and advisable.

quire, including the employment of a clerical expert, statistical, technical,

Resolved, further, That the General Assembly proceed to make an appro-
priation for the necessary expenses for the purpose of carrying out the pro-

Conservation of Wild Game.
(Senate Joint Resolution No. 23.)

Whereas, The General Assembly, section 11 of an Act for the conser-
vation of game, wild fowl, birds and fish, has provided as follows:

"The ownership of and title to all wild game and birds in the State of
Illinois is hereby declared to be in the State, and no wild game or birds
shall be taken or killed in any manner or at any time except the person
so taking or killing shall consent that the title to said game shall remain in
the State of Illinois for the purpose of regulating the use and disposition of
the same after such taking or killing. The taking or killing of wild game
or birds at any time in any manner or by any person shall be deemed a
consent of said person that the title to such game shall be and remain in
the State, for said purpose of regulating the use and disposition of the
same," and has provided regulations authorizing the hunting of game and
birds at certain seasons upon the payment of a license fee to the State; and

Whereas, The shooting of ducks and geese is the chief recreation and
sport of many thousands of outdoor enthusiasts who either secure hunting
licenses or are exempt from its provisions; and

Whereas, The progressive measures for the protection, conservation and
propagation of game, birds and fish enacted by the General Assembly of
Illinois with the earnest and energetic assistance of the sportsmen of
Illinois, rebuts and charge "enemies of wild life" employed by certain
Eastern organizations because of the natural resentment felt by citizens of
Illinois at the unjust discriminatory features of the Federal regulations for
the shooting of wild ducks and geese as applied to this State; and

1000 JOINT RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, The Secretary of Agriculture, under authority of an Act of
Congress enacted in 1913, prescribed regulations fixing an open season for
wild ducks and geese which operated to restrict very largely the hunting
of such fowl to territory contiguous to large rivers and lakes, most of which
property is in private hands and not open to the public, and to fix an open
season which, in the Southern states, came at a time when ducks and geese
were plentiful, thereby discriminating greatly against farmer boys and
hunters in the valley of the small inland rivers and creeks and the sports-
men of Illinois and of the Middle West states; and

Whereas, Protests against the unfair features of these regulations were
made to the Secretary of Agriculture and the State law providing an open
season was amended in 1915, to provide for two short seasons from Septem-
ber 1 to December 15, and February 15 to March 31, in the hope of securing
modification of the Federal provisions, but to no avail, although the Bureau
of Biological Survey, the department charged with the enforcement of the
regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture, "recognized the force of these
protests and admitted that fall shooting (which Federal regulation neces-
sitates) in this locality is very poor.

Whereas, Congress enacted in 1918, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
vesting authority in the Secretary of Agriculture to determine when, to
what extent, if at all, and by what means to allow hunting of migratory
birds and under this power an open season has been provided from Septem-
ber 16 to December 31, for the shooting of ducks and geese in Illinois and
is subject to the same exception and the same criticism as the prior regu-
lations; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, by the Senate of the Fifty-first General Assembly of the State
of Ilinois, the House of Representatives concurring therein, That a joint
committee composed of six members, three from the Senate and three from
the House of Representatives, be appointed by the Senate and Speaker of the
House of Representativs, respectively, to secure a modification of the
Federal regulation so as to provide a late winter open season from February
15 to March 31, or as near as may be, for the shooting of wild ducks and
geese; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Secretary of
Agriculture, and to the chief of the Bureau of Biological Survey at Wash-
ington, the Director of Agriculture and Chief Game and Fish Warden in
Springfield, Illinois, and to the members of Congress from Illinois, both in
the Senate and in the House of Representatives; and be it further

Resolved, That our members of Congress be requested to lend their aid
and co-operation to this committee by their personal efforts directed toward
securing a modification as suggested of the regulation issued by the Sec-
retary of Agriculture.

Consideration of Revenue and Tax Levy Matters.
(House Joint Resolution No. 23.)

Whereas, Many bills relating to revenue and tax levy matters are now
pending before this General Assembly; and

Whereas, The formation of an effective and comprehensive legislative
policy with reference to these bills requires that revenue and tax levy mat-
ters be considered as a single problem and that these bills be considered in
the light of their relationships to each other; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring herein,
That the members of the Fifty-first General Assembly meet in joint session

day of April, nineteen hundred and nineteen, and on Wednesday, the
thirtieth day of April, nineteen hundred and nineteen, at the hour of ten

Cook County Press Club.
(House Joint Resolution No. 8.)

Whereas, The Cook County Press Club, a body corporate of newspaper
men of the State of Illinois, has offered to donate to the State of Illinois,
bronze memorials of commissioned officers from the State of Illinois, who
lost their lives while in the military service during the War for Liberty,
1914 to 1919, said collection to be presented without expense to the State
of Illinois; therefore, be it

Resolved, by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring therein.
That we hereby accept the generous gift, and that the collection be placed
in Memorial Hall in the State House and that all State officials of Illinois
are hereby respectfully requested to permit the Cook County Press Club
to consult all data and records pertaining to the personnel of Illinois

Daylight Savings Law — Repeal Urged.
(House Joint Resolution No. 18.)

Whereas, Under a law adopted by Congress and under the stress of
being a war measure, all our business and social affairs are regulated by
what is known as new time; and

Whereas, Such so-called new time is a great handicap upon the agri-
cultural population of our State and the regulating of working hours on
farms by this so-called new time results in great loss to the farmer, dis-
organizes his business and reduces his efficiency and capacity to produce
food products; and

Whereas, The operation of such so-called new time brings a direct
conflict between the farmers' business and social environments; and

Whereas, The so-called new time is a great burden and loss to the
merchants in the smaller towns and community centers; and-

Whereas, This so-called new time has proven a serious handicap to the
church and greatly lessens attendance upon church services upon the
Sabbath Day in the smaller towns and community centers; therefore, be it

Resolved, by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring herein.
That the two United States Senators and each member of the House of
Representatives from Illinois in the United States Congress, be and they
are hereby requested to earnestly endeavor to bring about at the earliest
possible date the repeal of what is known as the new time or* Daylight

Senators and each member of the House of Representatives in Congress
from Illinois.

Whereas: Late Thursday afternoon, June 19, 1919, while in active dis-
charge of intensive journalistic duties incident to the closing hours of the
Fifty-first General Assembly, Frank E. Armstrong, for many years the
Legislative Correspondent and Political Editor of the Chicago Daily News,

Springfield; and

Whereas: This tragic event has brought profound sorrow and grief to
hundreds of officials, public men and citizens generally, who were privileged

ability to public office; and

Whereas: By reason of his keenness and marked intellectual attain-
ments, coupled with an unusual appreciation of the value of efficient and
honest administration in State and civic affairs he appreciated the need of
greater and widening scope in social and industrial welfare legislation and
an increasing non-partisan activity by Illinois citizens in all civic matters, and
encouraged the enactment of legislation promotive thereof; he was in-
creasingly effective and

courteous to all, tender and devoted to his family, quick to give wide credit

exemplified the value and influence of wholesome Christian living, and
properly directed industry and endeavor; now therefore, be it

Resolved, oy the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring

Demobilization of Soldiers for Farm Laboe.
(House Joint Resolution No. 17.)

Whereas, There exists at this time a very great scarcity of farm labor
in this State and the demand for labor on the farm is continually increasing
and will continue to do so as the harvest season approaches; and

Whereas, We are urged by Federal officials, by State officials, by pro-
clamations of Congress, by resolution of State Legislatures, by demand
for appropriations of money to carry on public improvements, by the voice
of the press of the country, to furnish employment for the unemployed and
especially for the demobilized and returning soldiers of the late World's
War; and

Whereas, We are constantly informed through the press and by various
civic organizations and employment bureaus and agencies that great num-
bers of released soldiers are in need of employment; and

Whereas, It is our wish and patriotic duty to do all within our power
to give employment and dignified relief to all seeking employment, and to
take such action as will meet the requirements of the employer, and those
seeking employment; and

Whereas, Both from official sources and newspaper interviews and re-
ports, it is found that great numbers of released and returned soldiers are
not experienced in farm labor or adapted to its requirements; and

Whereas, Large numbers of men who are experienced and adapted to
farm occupations are retained in the service; therefore, be it

Employment of Soldiers and Sailors.
(Senate Joint Resolution No. 11.)

Whereas, The cessation of hostilities in the World War has come upon
us sooner than anticipated, and in advance of plans or preparation for
readjustment from war to peace; and

Whereas, The soldiers and sailors from the State of Illinois are daily
returning in great numbers, and the return flow of soldiers from overseas
has as yet scarcely begun; and

Whereas, There appears to be great difficulty in placing our soldiers and
sailors in suitable employment; and

Whereas, The re-absorbing powers of peace industries are at present
insufficient to take care of discharged war workers and soldiers and sailors;
and

Whereas, Ample provision should be made for the employment of our
soldiers and sailors, in order that they shall not be compelled to accept
public charity; and

Whereas, The working people generally of this country, as American
citizens, are entitled to living wages and good living conditions, commen-
surate with the vast wealth and enormous resources of this, the richest
country in the world; and

Whereas, The State of Illinois is ready and anxious to provide suitable'
employment for all its citizens; and

Whereas, Labor and capital are united in urging that steps shall be
taken to provide employment at once to tide over the dangerous transition
from War to Peace; and

Whereas, Many public improvements throughout the State of Illinois
have been postponed on account of the war; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, by the Senate of the State of Illinois, the House of Repre-
sentatives concurring therein. That the Legislature will, upon request,
render all necessary assistance and co-operation with the counties, cities,

districts, drainage districts, boards of education, sanitary district, and all

Memorial to Congress — Conservation of Forests.
(Senate Joint Resolution No. 31.)
Whereas, The United States during the last half century has witnessed
the reduction of the forest in one region after another. The white pine
forests of Pennsylvania, New York, and New England disappeared nearly
a half century ago. Likewise the pine forests of the Lake states for the
most part were obliterated before 1900. The Southern pineries which for
20 years have been the main supply of lumber for Illinois and other Central

JOINT RESOLUTIONS. 1013

states will, according to statements recently made by authoritative sources,
be to a large extent exhausted within the next ten years.

Whereas, The effect of the exhaustion of the commercial forests has
been the closing of nearby industries which depended upon these forests
for supplies and the shifting of local population to new centers, involving
heavy penalties upon both the industries and the people. As another result
the country has observed the area of cutover timber land increase to an
area estimated by the Secretary of the Interior at 228 million acres. Far
the greater part of this land is in the North, South, and Bast and a very
large percentage of it is non-agricultural. With recurring destructive forest
fires millions of acres of it have become waste and can only be restored
to productiveness through an extensive program of reforestation.

Whereas, The wood-using industries not depending upon uncertain local
forest supplies have become centered to a very large extent in the thickly
populated districts east of the Mississippi River and are drawing their
supplies from the remaining forests in the Eastern states, the Gulf states
and the states adjacent to the Great Lakes. A large number of such in-
dustries are located in the State of Illinois, with the City of Chicago the
center of a very large and important group. Chicago has for many years
been the chief lumber distribution point of the United States, and the
greatest point of lumber distribution in the world. These important in-
dustries including the manufacture of railway cars, boxes, sashes and doors,
farm machinery, furniture, pianos, vehicles and many other articles are
now threatened by the exhaustion of the forests from which their supplies
have been drawn. They now face the necessity of bringing timber from the
Pacific Coast with heavy freight charges added to the cost.

To the same Pacific Coast supply the country must look for lumber for
general construction purposes. The- transportation system of the country
must add to its present burdens the transcontinental shipment of very large
quantities of lumber, a bulky product upon which a high freight rate greatly
increases the cost to the consumer.

Whereas, Such forests as are owned and managed by the Government,
the National Forests, are 97 per cent in the far west and for that reason
cannot contribute substantially to the solution of the problem of wood sup-
plies which has become so threatening to the industries of the Eastern
States.

Whereas, The situation is of such gravity as to require the most careful
consideration by the Federal government and the states to the end that
policies may be adopted that will lead to the solution of the problem.

Therefore, he it resolved, by the Senate of the State of Illinois, the
House of Representatives concurring therein, That the Fifty-first General
Assembly of the State of Illinois urges the attention of the President and
the Congress of the United States to the present timber situation and recom-
mends that, without delay, there be formulated such a National program
of forestry as will insure the future timber supplies required by the in-
dustries of the country. As an example of what should be done, this Gen-
eral Assembly points to the wise course of the Republic of France in so
managing its forests for more than a century that they contributed sub-
stantially to the winning of the great war.

It is further urged that the Federal government acting independently
or in co-operation with the states inaugurate action looking towards such
measure of public control of the remaining bodies of original timber as will
make sure that their supplies will be available as needed by the industries.

It is furthermore urged that comprehensive plans be put into effect for
restoring the forest on cutover lands which are non-agricultural in char-
acter in the Eastern states, in the states bordering the Great Lakes, and
in the South, in order that timber supplies from these regions may be avail-
able to the established industries of the Central and Eastern states.

Be it Resolved, That the Secretary of State of Illinois be, and hereby is
directed to transmit copies of this preamble and resolution to the President
of the United States, the United States Senate and to the House of Repre-

Memorial to Congeess — Extra Pay for Soldiers.
(Senate Joint Resolution No. 6.)

Whereas, The most important problem of reconstruction is the in-
dividual readjustment in the lives of the men who willingly went forth to
heroically serve our Nation and our Allies in the time when free institutions
and the rights of free men everywhere were threatened, and

Whereas, No adequate provision is being made by the Federal govern-
ment for these returning soldiers, sailors and marines, who have made tre-
mendous sacrifices for our country, and

Whereas, There is a movement to secure national legislation guaran-
teeing to every soldier, sailor and marine his pay for some sufficient period
after his return to civil life, until he can obtain remunerative employment,
and

Whereas, Other countries which have suffered more and which have
expended far greater sums of money that [than] has the United States of
America, are making more ample and more just provisions for their soldiers,

Be it Resolved, by the Senate of the State of Illinois, the House of Repre-
sentatives concurring therein, That a memorial be sent to Congress request-
ing the Federal government to pay at least six months salary to every
soldier, sailor and marine upon his return to civil life, and

Be it Resolved, That the Secretary of State be, and hereby is directed
to transmit copies of this resolution to the United States Senate and to the
House of Representatives and to the several members of both bodies repre-
senting the State of Illinois, and to Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of
War, and to Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy.

Adopted by the Senate January 28, 1919.

Concurred in by the House of Representatives, January 29, 1919.

Memorial to Congress — National Soldier Settlement Act.
(House Joint Resolution No. 32.)

Whereas, There is now pending before the House of Representatives
of the Congress of the United States, H. R. 487, "A Bill to provide employ-
ment and rural homes for those who have served with the military and
naval forces through the reclamation of lands to be known as the 'National
Soldier Settlement Act;'" and

Whereas, This bill appropriates the sum of five hundred millions of
dollars for the reclamation and improvement of lands, to be sold to mem-
bers of the military and naval forces of the United States and of her Allies
in the World War, at cost, as farms, and for the employment of these
soldiers and sailors in that work; and

Whereas, The provisions of this bill possess great merit as a part of a
program of readjustment and reconstruction; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring herein, -
That the members of the Fifty-first General Assembly of the State of Illi-
nois request the members of the Congress from the State of Illinois to
endeavor to bring about the passage of H. R. 487 or of similar legislation
at as early a date as possible; and, be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to each member of the
Congress from the State of Illinois.

Memorial to Congress — Rail Road Rates.
(Senate Joint Resolution No. 14.)

Whereas, Many public improvements for which there is an imperative
need have been postponed on account of the existence of a state of war be-
tween the United States of America and the Imperial German government;
and

Whereas, The necessity for the resumption of the construction of
public works is fully recognized and is being urged upon all people in
authority representing the various political units and subdivisions of the
United States; and

Whereas, One of the greatest problems confronting the State and the
nation at the present time is the furnishing of immediate employment to a
large amount of idle labor released from other activities by the victorious
termination of the war; and

Whereas, The embarking upon the construction of the much-needed
public improvements will furnish immediate and profitable employment to
idle labor; and

Whereas, The increase in freight rates on the heavy materials, enter-
ing largely into the construction of public works, which went into effect on
June 25, 1918, was approximately one hundred per cent greater than the
increase on other commodities; and

Whereas, In the judgment of the General Assembly of the State of
Illinois, freight rates on materials designed for use in the construction of
public works are excessive and tend unmistakably to discourage the re-
sumption of the construction of such enterprises, thus defeating the effort
to give employment to idle labor; therefore, be it

Resolved, by the Senate of the State of Illinois, the House of Repre-
sentatives concurring therein, That the President of the United States, the
Congress of the United States and the United States Railroad Adminis-
tration be and they hereby are memorialized and respectfully but most
urgently requested to take such action as will bring about a reduction in
the freight tariffs governing the shipment of the materials entering largely
into the construction of public works, said reduction to be not less than the
advance which went into effect June 25, 1918, and to be effective at an early
date ; and

That upon the passage of this resolution, certified copies thereof be forth-
with forwarded by the Secretary of State of Illinois to the President of the
United States, the presiding officers of both Houses of Congress and mem-
bers from Illinois of both branches of the Congress of the United States, and
the Director General of Railroads.
