Or imagine Chicago as a slain ghost
of a city, poisoned by waste from its
own factories and homes, and fam
ished for lack of the water which
gurglss tantalizlngly upon its beaches.
There you have the two extreme
nightmare conceptions of what might
happen, depending upon the pos
sible settlements of the long pending
lawsuits over the city's diversion Of
lake water for sewage disposal. The
attacks are designed to curtail or stop
the taking Of water from the lake.
Lake Water Flushes Canal
Chicago, In January, 1900, began
taking lake water to flush It's drain
age canal to the Illinois River and
sweep along its waste. A permit
from the War Department allows the
taking Of 4,167 cubic feet of water
per second. AS the city grew larger.
Chicago increased its intake until It
amounts to approximately $500 cubic
feet. A final maximum of 10000
cubic feet is desired.
The level of the Great Lakes has
been declining for several years. In
January, this year, 1t was approx
mately a foot lower than when the
city began taking the water.
Quite simple" say opponents of
the Chicago plan. Chicago is steal
