38 THE FOREST PRESERVES 



DANIEL RYAN 



FOREST PRESERVE COMMISSIONER 



Commissioner Ryan, by virtue of his years of experience 

 as county finance chairman was able to take up the financial 

 reins of the district in a manner possible under no other cir- 

 cumstances. As chairman of the District finance committee 

 he has instituted a budget system that has meant thousands 

 upon thousands of dollars to the taxpaying public. Likewise 

 as chairman of the Committee on Depositaries he has been 

 always on guard of the public interest. He is also a member 

 of the committees on Real Estate, Plan and Forestry and 

 Improvement. 



WILLIAM D. SCOTT 



FOREST PRESERVE COMMISSIONER 



Commissioner Scott was serving his first term as county 

 commissioner when the creation of the Forest Preserve Dis- 

 trict made him a member of that board also. He was elected 

 to the county board in 1914 and in 1918 he was an unsuccessful 

 candidate for re-election. He has been a member of the Forest 

 Preserve board committees on Judiciary Rules and Requisi- 

 tions and Supplies.
