GREATWATERSUPPLY PROJECT NEAR REALITY Greater Chicago Lake Water Company Solicits Contracts; Includes Wilmette Declaring that it will be able to supply Chicago~s west, northwest and north suburbs with an unlimited supply of soft, filtered Lake Mich igan water at a reasonable cost, the Greater Chicago Lake Water com·pany, with offices in the Bankers build ing, Chicago, has announced that it is beginning at once a drive to obtain 30~ear contracts for th~ service fron1 a group of thirty-one villages. · "All legal and other wfficulties are at last cleared away," declared Chari ~-; S. Thrasher, president of the company, "and we are going to present our water contracts to the boards of tru stees as fast as appointments can be mad e for hearings. "I want to make it clear right at th e start that ours is in no sense a stock selling scheme. \Ve are positively not going to obtain contracts. from the vill~ges and then come around to th e residents and ask them to buy stock so we can go ahead with the work. "Ample financial backing has been pledged to our company by E. H. Rol lins & Sons of Chicago, P. W. Chap man & company, Inc., of Chicago ancl F. L. Putnam & company, Inc., of Boston, three of the largest and he t known banking houses in the United States. all of which make a specialty of public utility financing. Crib at Wilmette "These companies are right now under contract to advance $12,000,000 for construction purposes ju st as soon as we show a sufficient number of water supply contracts with villages to inc1icate that our sales will be large enough to insure earnings. This method. it may be mentioned, is the usual one in finan<;:ing gas, water and other ouhii c utility enterprises. Many of the- most uccess ful utilities in the United States have been put into operation in exactly this way. "Vv e are going to build a crib in the lake at Wilmette, run a tunnel from i1· to a pumping station and filter pla11~ on shore. and run a pipeline southwa:·cl around the western citv limits of Chicago and connect with- the water systems of each western suburb at its cor porate limits. "The water will be soft, filtered, and will be delivered at a guaranteed minimum pressure of 50 pounds. Measurement will be made by meter, and the orice to the villa~e corporation will be based on the volume consumed, there being only one scale of prices for large and small communities alike. The maximum price is 15 cents oer tho'.tsand gallons for communities usin~ 50,000 gallons a day or less. The minimum price is 8 cents per thousand gallons for communities using 7,000,000 gallons a day or more. The scale for quantities between these extremes is proportioned on the same principle as power, light and gas charges are prooortioned . Awaits Town Verdicts 11 We have been asked manv times how soon we can start building onr crib, pumping station and pi~etine. We are forced to replv that this deoend~ upon the villaR;es themselves.
