CHICAGO DRAINAGE CHANNEL.
Board of Investigation Report on the IF

Board of Investigation Report on the Ef-
feet on the Lake Icvee.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Thc board of
engineers which recently examined the
Chicago drainage channel with reference
to its effect on the lake level submits csti-
mates nIric by other engineers indicating
that a loss of seven inches Is possible In
Lakes Michigan and Huron rs the effect OF
the canal. The trustees Of the drainage
canal contcmplatc taking only 3oO,O 600 cubic
feet under present conditions, but after the
canal is opened the board assumes that
ultimately the entire Coz. 900 cubic feet will
be drawn from Lake Michigan, as author
lied by the state charter.
The report says that while, the channels
and harbors of the great lakes below st.
Mary's falls will bc iniurionsly affected by
n diminution IN depth, the inner harbor of
Chicago will be diminished also by the in
PRODUCTION of a current which, in the pres
ent condition OF the river with the mini
mum flow of 5000 cubic feet per second. is
entirely inadmissablc. The estimate of
the effect of the canal on this harbor
should, they say, also consider this Gle
mcnt. The board of trustees have not yet
determined upon a plan of treatment of
this navigahlc channel, and their plans
may, the report suggests, be such as to i'm
prove, impair, or destroy its utility rs d

by which. while il was agreed that Quay
