TWO SEWERAGE SYSTEMS.

The city Of Chicago Is now completing new
sewerage system. upon which it has been at
work for about seven years and which will have
cost it some S32OO0O00 or more than twice
what was originally estimated. When this
work is done the sewers Of the city will dis
charge their contents not. as hitherto, into Lake
Michigan. to bcfoul the water supply but into
great open ditch running through the heart Of
the city and leading back. across country. into
the rivers Dcs PLANES and Illinois and. ultimate
