inches, the greatest on record in any
one night. Elsewhere in the North
west, except at Quincy, there seems
to have been very much less rain. The
damage in Chicago caused by flooded
Easements cannot be estimated. A
strong east wind was blowing during
storm, and the water in the lake be-
ing forced up high on the shore gave
no chance for the sewers and drains
to discharge their contents.
