Mayor Thompson defied the gov
ernment to challenge Chicago's
right to draw the lake water, and
promised he would not permit the
installation of meters, provision
the war department demanded be
carried out.
Now, there is before the supreme
court a petition from Wiscosnin,
Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
New York for another injunction
to halt water removal. The court,
acting upon a report by Mr.
Hughes, already has signified that
the diversion of water for sewage
dilution and disposal is illegal, and
that only a fraction of the pres
ent diversion could be allowed, and
that only for navigation.
4 Hughes held a hearing here in
4 March to determine if Chicago was
going ahead with the sewage dis
posal plan demanded by the wal
department. The district now is ir
an embarrassing position. 1t il

Calvin Coolidge is not the only
chief executive of the United

to the extent of buying second

President Tyler even went the
New Englander one better, for
while he was in the White House
he rode in a carriage purchased
from Paulding, secretary of the
navy under Van Buren, In those
days presidents had to furnish
their own means of conveyance.
And just as paragraphers made

MALONE THINKS
R. R. TO DAM
TO START SOON
State Engineer Believes Con-
struction of Branch Line to
River Will Be Begun Be-
fore Fall; Expects Arizona
to Ratify.

That the railway line from
this city to the Black Canyon
dam site will be started before
fall, probably by June 21, 1923,
the time at which the Six-state
pact becomes effective, Is the,
belief of George Malone, state
engineer of Nevada, who has
been prominent in the work OF
pushing Boulder Dam legiSfa-
ton.
Nclone is in this city to conduct
hearings on matters pertaining to
franchises for power and trans
portation lines for southern Ne
vada, and will be in this city until
Monday.
~ 1t is still undecided whether
the railroad will be built by the
railway company alone or by the
government in cooperation with the
railway company, according to
Malone.
Arizona Okeh Sought
Although the government viii go
ahead with the construction Of
Boulder Dam with or without Ari-
zona'S ratification of the pact, and
although it is known that should
Arizona attempt to block the work
through court action, which now
seems unlikely, the supreme court
would hurry to push this matter
through ahead of other matters to
clear the deck for action, still 1t
will be to the benefit of all con-
cerned to have Arizona ratify the
pact and come into the fold, SAID
Malone.
Things will come up later
on in the development Of the
work, such as perhaps amend
ments to the bill, or other
problems, in which all seven OF
the states would be better able
to act than six, he pointed out,
and should Arizona hold out,
this will be source of con-
tinual difficulty.
Arizona Weakening
Every effort is still being made
to bring Arizona into the agree
ment, and it is belieTe1 by men
whose opinions carry weight that
she cannot well do Otherwise than
come in. The authority cited -
Malone for this belief mcfuGc5
