For the first time in its history the entire
city of Chicago was the other day without
a drop of water. the entire system of sup
ply being paralyzed. The cause of this
alarming condition of affairs was the fact
that the three sources from which the city at
present receives its supply were frozen up,
and not q pint of water reached the various
pumping stations throughout the city. The
result OF this was that the Department
of Public Works and the City Engineers

was becoming serious in the extreme and
the gravest apprehensions were expressed
until the ice was cleared away. Water was
