The Chicago drainage board has
filed an amended answer in the case
brought by st. Louis to have the canal
declared q nuisance, in which it AYERS
that st. Louis is not affected by the
waters of the canal because they never
reach that city. 1t is generally known
that when the Missouri and Mississippi
Join the water from two streams does
not mix at once, but each keeps its side
of the river, the water being easily DIS
tinquished by the color. The drainage
board says that they do not mix until
after passing st. Louis, the Mississippi
water following the east bank. while
the intake of the st, Louis water works
is on the west bank. Consequently any
impurities in st. Louis water must come
rom the Missouri, or from sewage from
ST. Louis or from towns above it.
