4. Continued use of hard
water from ground resources
adds to the expenditures of
people residing in communities
furnishing we'll water, because
of soap wastage and expense
of softening equipment.
5. Lack of an adequate wa
ter supply and distribution
system for the entire area has
resulted in inefficient develop
ment and land usage in the re-
gion outside the city of Chica-
go.
Extension of Chicago's pres
ent policy of furnishing water
to adjacent communities under
terms of the Sanitary District
Act also was criticized as I'M
economical in the report, be-
cause it means duplication of
equipment and operation for
each of the municipalities
which must contract with Chi
cago for the water on an in
dividual basis.

costly water publication plants

"Whiting, East Chicago and
Hammond, Ind, provide an

declared. These municipalities,
which own and operate water
publication plants, ''exist

Although these publication
plants are an actually and

CHICAGO EIKOPOLIlAN
WATER SYSTEM URGED
COVERING 3 COUNTIES
A metropolitan water sys-
tenn to serve, besides Chicago,
143 municipalities in Cook,
Lake and Du Page counties
and adjacent communities in
Lake County, Ind, was propos-
ed today in report on Cook
County water supplies releas-
ed by the Advisory Commit
tee of the Chicago-Cook Coun-
ty Health Survey.
Such a system is not only de-
sirable, but would provide a
more economical means of
safeguarding the public health
in these communities, most of
which are offering consumers
potentially unsafe drinking
water.
The report, prepared by the
United States Public Health
Service as part of it's audit of
Chicago and Cook County
health conditions, warned that
of 80 Incorporated commune
ties in Cook County, 63 are fur
nishing water that does not
meet all the drinking water
standards of the u. S. Public
Health Service. Twelve of the
80 municipalities have no pub
lie water supply.
The proposed system, while
including the Chicago water
system, would be, under the
proposal, a separate govern
mental entity established I'M
der a legislative act in much
the same way as the Sanitary
District of Chicago, which pro-
vides sewage disposal facili-
ties to Chicago and part of
Cook County.
The Chicago water works,
it was emphasized, is now
operating at only "a per cent
of it's rated capacity at the
maximum hourly demand. If
the system were to furnish wa
ter to the 143 municipalities in
the metropolitan region, it
would result in an increase of
only l l per cent, based on 1860
population estimates.
Further, Chicago already is
supplying water to 40 COM
munities outside it's borders.
Eliminating their requirements
from the estimated increase,
along with IA that own and
operate water publication
plants, ''only 1872 per cent
of the total rated capacity of
the Chicago system would be
required to serve the remain
ing 80 municipalities" in the
metropolitan area.
Five points were cited in the
report in support of metro
politan system:
1. There is an unlimited
source of water supply avail
able for domestic purposes
from Lake Michigan.
2. There has been a con-
slant and rapid depletion of
ground water resources on

3 Billion Sterilization
For Europe Dropped
By Relief Framers
BY the Associoied Press

A top level intergovernmental
committee has decided against ask
ing Congress right now for a
So ,000, 100000 stabiliZation fund for
European currencies to supplement
the Marshall plan.
Government officials helping draw
UP the final administration version
of the long range recovery program
for Western Europe said they had
reached this decision after weeks
of intensive discussion.
This committee will recommend
to President Truman. they said,
that he omit any request for stabi-
lization funds in his forthcoming
Marshall plan message, telling Con-
gress instead that he may ask money
for this purpose later on If he feels
it necessary.
Represents Compromise.
The decision, in effect, represents
a compromise between Government
financial experts who have been
debating the merits of the stabiliza-
ton request ever since the 16 West
ern European countries submitted
their Marshall plan report last
September.
Administration policy makers now
believe a stabilization fund of the
type requested can serve no useful
purpose until recovery is well under
way.
Vice President Robert L. Garner
Of the World Bank ruled out the
international lending agency as q
source of this stabilization fund yes

Mr.. Cassels said in addressing the

THE carrying out of this program
will mean three things for us:
81. We will be giving away goods
which we might otherwise have had
for our own use.
20. We will reinforce to some ex-
tent the inf1ationary forces in our
own economy.
"3. We will make necessary some

Undoubtedly the show win be q
hit, if such tunes as Glocca Nor.

progressives will lament the fact
that the celebrated FREE AND

from the production.
There is some consolation, how
ever, in the fact that Peoples

Free and Equal music in their
December Bulletin, and that an
early recording is promised.
