Acting on til Is belief the cities zIong
T the river and the canal have built cost

1t is consequently Aaatter of consid-
cradle Importance to know that North

The questions which THE TIMES asked
President Robert Mccormick of the san
itary district of Chicag are as follows:
FOUR QUESTIONS ASKED.
First-Wil1 the building of the Calu-
| met-Sag canal create current in the
Calumet river at Hammond and East
Chicago?
! Second-Win it create a current in
| the river after the Indiana Harbor
canal is opened through from Lake
Michigan to the Calumet river?
| Thfrd-How does the sanitary dis
trict of Chicago expect to prevent the
pollution of the waters of Lake Mich
/ igan when the heavy rains flush the
sewers and force current through the
river and canal to Lake Michigan?
! Fourth-As a general proposition.
how is Chicago to protect its water
supply from the pollution of the sew
age from the Indiana cities along the
| shore of the lake?
In answer to these question the fol-
lowing letter was received by THE
| TIMES this morning:

No Objection In Chicago.
I'VE are next door to one of the I'm
est restaurants in Chicago, our factory
windows are within FIVE feet of the
windows of this restaurant, which is
owned by Messrs. Biggio Bros. They
certainly would not sign a paper stat
ing that they had no objections what
soever If 1t were not the truth. We
are located in six-story building, oc-
cupying the entire second floor. The
occupants of the floors above US and
the mercantile houses below US are
aall signers of this paper. The build
ing we will erect on our real estate
will be an ornament to that section
of the city of Hammond. Our employees
will be Of the very highest class and
credit to the city of Hammond. We
feel that 1t is beneath our dignity to
even refute such ridiculous petition
to our enterprise. but for the benefit
of those misguided petitioners we
make the above statement
Would Avoid Litigation.
we nave no DOUBT tnaL Wnen we
apply for a permit for our factory
building that it will be granted US and
we would suggest that before those
petitioners go further in this matter
that they visit our factory in Chicago
and this be convinced that instead OF
! being Objectionable neighbors- that we
will be very desirable ones. We also
wish to state that in an interview hello
yesterday with Mayor Becker we were
| Informed that no permit would be
| granted us for the building on oul
property for the reason that the city ex
pected to condemn thirty feet on the
| west side of Sohl street for a public
{. thoroughfare. We have agreed t.
change our plans and erect our building
thirty feet back from the street line

our trackage on the !. H. Belt rail
way, which we consider a serious dam
age. Had We known of all these cir
cumstances before buying the proper
ty we certainly would not have pur
chased it. but having the deeds draw
up and the property paid for we hav
, got to make use of 1t. 1t is only t
avoid any legal litigations that force
US to comply with the conditions a
they exist even though we are damage

In the ra~st wnen the ,hdaz.sss 1Idf-
Dor canal Is completed through
from the lake.
In reply to question No. 8, as to
how the pollution of the Grand
Calumet river will be kept out of
the lake when heavy rains cause IL
to flow through the Indiana Har-
Dor canal, I can only say that If the
sewage is allowed to discharge into
the Grand Calumet river every time
there is a severe rain storm, this
polluted water will be driven into
the lake through the Indiana Har-
Dor canal but not through the CAL
umet river. as the current in the
Calumet river will be reversed east
of where the canal taps 1t. As you
are undoubtedly aware. the Grand
Calumet river Is practically stag
nant during several months of the
year, and the discharging OF large.
quantities of sewage Will make 1t
practically a cesspool. which will
become very obnoxious and danger
GUS to public health. 1t would seem
that the proper solution would be
that the sewage should be treated
in publication works before being
allowed to discharge either into the
Calumet river or into the lake.
In reply to your question No. 4.
I can only say that this is not an
engineering question, but rather a
legal one. 1t would not seem fair
that the residents of Illinois should
have to take care Of the sewage of
that part of the Calumet region
lying in Indiana. With the amount
of water that the sanitary district
is allowed to take from the lake 1t
will have barely enough to take
care OF its own population when
used to dilute the sewage.
Yours truly,

Chief Engineer.
