CHICAGO RECLA|MS
1,2OlACRE AREA
Work Along Seven-Miie Lake
Front to Cost Approx
mateIy $100,0OO,O00.
Bv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 29.--The reclaim
ing of land along a 7-mile stretch
of Chicago's lake front, one of the
greatest projects known to modern
engineering, will add 1900 acres of
park and boulevard drive TO the lake
side at a cost of approximately $780,
000 900.
The projected plans call for the ac-
tual building up by dredging from the
lake and filling in with soil and refuse
from the city of so 900 600 cubic yards
of front. The city itself extends for
20 miles along the western shore of
Lake Michigan.
The filing in is being carried on at
the rate of 10000 cubic yards a day,
A fleet of trucks, three dredges and a
score of bargeS are doing the work.
In the last year, 20,154 feet of bulk
head also has been constructed.
Lake Bottom Removed.
The first step in the process was the
construction of an outer and inner
bulkhead of piles and timbers at
distance ranging from one-quarter to
three-quarters of a mile from shore.
The water incloSed was gradually dis
placed. DredgeS are removing the
shallow lake bottom outside of the
bulkheads and throwing the sand in
side. About so per cent Of the filling
will be accomplished in this manner.
Soil and refuse from the city will com
pose 20 per cent.
Between the present lake front and
the inner bulkhead, lagoons have been
formed. When the project is com
pleted, the lake front will consist of a
series of narrow islands running par
allel to the present shore and con-
nected by bridges.
Nineteen concrete bridges will be
constructed, spanning the lagOons and
the tracks of the Illinois Central Rail
road, which has its right of way along
the shore line. Ultimately these tracks
will be completely covered and will be
run through a subway. Twenty-Five
miles of boulevard will be built along
the reclaimed land, two of which will
parallel Michigan boulevard. The
bridges, which will connect the outer
range in cost from $250,000 TO nearly
10000 900.
$5,000,000 Spent.
More than 1000, 600 cubic yards of
fill from the. dredges have been de-
posted within the bulkheads and $780,
600 cubic yards have been contributed
from various excavations in the city.
Five million dollars was spent in this
operation last year.
The work is done entirely by con-
tract and is financed by bond issue.
Two issues of $4,000 600 and SIS, 5,000,-
600 each have been authorized, of
which amount $12, 100000 has been
issued, sold and the money spent.
1t is estimated by Chief Engineer
Lynn White of the South Park Com
mission, which has charge of opera
tions, that if the present rate of prog
ress can be maintained, the lake front
as outlined should be completed in
from 10 to II years.

MEASURE POWER

Scientific Tests Given in
Finding Horsepower
ny JIM EE<T0<
Mgr. Eldridge. Buick Co.

To get az a clear idea OF tho term
horsepower" as IL applies 10
power producing mechanisms. sucn
as the motor in Buick, we must so
back TO 1895. At that time James
Watt had perfected his steam engine
decree that made II practical
and he was trying 20 build UP a mar.
ket for IL. Like all inventors, Watt
found great deal OF opposition to
his efforts. and In order to stimulate
sales he first found II necessary TO
educate the people TO the value OF his
invention.
Watt knew that he would have 10
find some way of accurately con.
trastlng the power OF his steam en-
CINE against the power of horses.
Watt conducted n long series OF
tests. and as "A result he asccrtained
that the average work horse could
lift weight OF $50 pounds 2is miles
per hour for 10 hours a day. To eX-
press this in other terms. he found
that the average horse could do work
equivalent to lifting $4,000 pounds
ono foot in one minute.
In testing Buick automobiles for
actual horsepower. the gasoline
motor and an electric dynamo are
hitchcd together. The gasoline motor
In then started, and its capacity for
work is determined by suitable re-
sistance and measuring instruments.
The dials show when the motor
reaches tho top of It's power curve;
that Is, the speed at which the motor
develops its maximum OF power. II,
at the top of It's power curve. the
dials snow that enough electrical
units TO equal 80 horsepower are OPP
Grating against II, then the actual
horsepower of that motor is so horse.
