20 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1925 TELLS DANGERS OF WATER 'CUT 'Sanitary District Engineer Finds Curtailment En- dangers North Shore ¥ POISONS LAKE WATER Wilmette "Harbor Seriously Affected How seriously the curtailment of the amount of water Chicago and the Sani- tary District can take from Lake Mich- igan will affect the north shore was pointed out this week by Edward J. Kelly, chief engineer of the Sanitary District. According to Mr. Kelly such cur- tailment would result in a pollution of the lake that would endanger bathing and water supply; would cause a back- up of sewage in the drainage which would be without a flow, and would close the Wilmette harbor and canal to yachts and pleasure boats. Endangers North Shore "The recent decision of the Supreme court to limit the flow of the Sanitary canal to 4,167 cubic feet per second, 6,000 feet less than the present flow, is a danger to the entire north shore as well as the city of Chicago," Mr. Kelly pointed out. "The Sanitary canal re- quires 2,000 feet per second in normal times to care for its own flow. This leaves little more than 2,000 feet to care for the sewage of the entire north shore and Chicago district. "When this ban of the supreme court goes into effect," Mr. Kelly stated, "the drainage canal will be without a flow. The dirty back water from the Chicago river will flow into it, even possibly as far as Evanston, giving the north shore a stagnant tadpole ditch. I am sure that the north shore does not enjoy the pros- pect of a mossy cesspool in its back yard to breed mosquitoes and vermin. "Wilmette harbor would be seriously affected and the canal would be im- possible for yachts and pleasure boats," he added. wie "Give Us Time" "Our $13,600,000 north shore sewage plant, which will be completed in 1928, wiii-ampiy take care of the sewage ~ disposal for the entire north shore, but until Chicago can handle her refuse prob- lem satisfactorily, the vicinity of the drainage channel is going to be mighty unpleasant outside of the health stand- point, which is more important. "If Washington would only give us a little time, it wouldn't be long be- fore Chicago could do without the 10,000 cubic feet per second consumption, which is absolutely vital to the welfare of her citizens at the present time. The sani- tary district to date has spent some $29,000,000, and we have already let contracts for $23,000,000 additional. Few people realize to any great extent the grave import on this problem, and not until they have been educated to the situation will their opposition be over- come." College Requirements Subject for P. T. A. Principal Frederick E.
