That is what the Board of Engineers say
of the Chicago Drainage Canal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Tne report OF
the Board of Engineers detailed 10 report
m on the probable effect and operation of
the Chicago drainage canal upon the
lake and harbor levels ana upon the nayI-
cation of the great lakes and their con-
Meeting waterways has been made public.
There is nothing 10 show, the Itporc
says, that the consent of Congress has
been asked for this enterprise, and IL Is
certain that 10 has not been treated as
an interstate or international affair.
With this established fact 1t is Impossible
10 think that supervision of the United
States Will not extend TO the canal ln
due time. This viii become necessary as
soon as IL becomes a part of the system
of navigation waterways.
II the new outlet reduces the levels OF
Lakes Michigan and Huron about STA
inches, that effect Will be produced IA
about two years. it not being "a question
of many years, as some suppose. INC
Board feel very sure. therefore. tnat
Tirst-The drainage canal is not solely
a State affair but national one.
.Sec0nd-The tapping OF the lakes must

lakes should be reduced, vessels would
have TO load accordingly.
