THE FouR MILE crib.


Yet Chicago was confronted with as seri
Gus problem as any The lake Is there.
and water Is plenty, but near shore 1t
is contaminated, and so the crib" was
located little over two miles out. The
city trebled its population, and soon the
water was fouled even beyond the "crib," T"
when the wind was of shore. Now a new
crib is established four miles out, and n
new and immense tunnel connects it with
the city pumping station, giving the city
IS, ,O00, 600 gallons doy of the purest watnr
One Of the big tasks was to stretch the
@, 800 feet of cable through the tunnel to
give telephone communication between the
city waterworks and the crib. IL weighed
81, 900 pounds, and the two stalwart mules
employed in the tunnel were enabled to
draw it endways only 8, 500 feet; then safe
movers outfit was lowered into the tunnel,
and with It the connection was made. 1t
was started in at the mouth OF the shore
shaft, and when the first message was got
ten through the water was turned on.
The new "crib" is circular double steel
shell of 1913 feet outside and 20 feet inside
diameter, stiffened by bulkheads and con-
crete filling. The bottom section Of the
cast iron shaft is set water tight into the
well bottom, projecting below the latter.
The weight of the complete crib. with con
crete filling and granite facing to ten feet
above low water mark, is 26, 600 tons. Six
great gates, with fish screens outside, ad-
init the pure, cool water from the lake
depths, or shut it of when repairs are
necessary. And by such elaborate struc-
lures does the great city of the west draw
her water.
