xX October 9, 1926 WINNETKA TALK MUNICIPAL OFFICIALS DISCUSS SANITATION Lower Lake Michigan Sanitari- ans and Officials in Session; Local Men Attend For the third year officials and sani- tarians interested in eliminating sewage from Lake Michigan held a two-day meeting as the Lake Michigan Sanita- tion Congress with about one hundred present. The idea of the congress which was held September 24 and 25 at Ra- cine, Wis., is mainly one of an exchange of information between officials and those working on the water and sewage problems of the lake cities in Wiscon- sin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. A three-session program loaded with twenty-five speakers was followed by an inspection of the Milwaukee sewage disposal plant. Analytical proof that a safe lake water cannot be obtained nearer than from 7 to 11 miles out, that filtration is coming for Chicago, $100,000 having been appropriated for experiments, that filters alone without elimination from the lake of the sew- age from the cities in northern Indiana will not produce a satisfactory water free from phenol tastes, that these Indiana towns are close to the forma- tion of a sanitary district, that analyses of 33,000 samples of water taken in three years show that Waukegan dis- tributes the least safe water of any city from Waukegan to Gary (because of insufficient chlorine) and that Racine has a filter ready for operation within two months time were the main essen- tials brought out. Study Waste Problem C. M. Baker, state sanitary engineer, Wisconsin, read a paper on "The Re- lation of Industrial Waste to Sewage Treatment" and referred specifically to the co-operative work between paper mills and canning industries and the state board of health in working out solutions of the waste problems. Re- covery of $28,000 worth of wood fiber annually from a 50-ton sulphite mill costs $15,000 for installation and re- moves the equivalent of the sewage of 150,000 people. Along this line Langdon Pearse of Winnetka, sanitary engineer, Sanitary District of Chicago, reported that the Corn Products company at-Argo was arranging to recover their losses sav- ing 2,000 bushels of corn and reducing the equivalent pollution from 360,000 people to 38,500 and ultimately below 10,000. W. W. DeBerard of Wilmette, chief; engineer, Chicago Regional Planning association, indicated that water and sewage disposal facilities were funda- mental in regional development. Water from Lake Michigan pumped through large conduits he said was the logical supply for the area west of Chicago to the Fox River valley because the hard ground water levels are receding at an alarming rate, eight to twelve feet annually. The Regional Planning as- sociation proposes to help initiate and co-ordinate the plans and activities of the various political jurisdictions in- volved rather than produce elaborate plans of its own. Cites Disposal Projects H. P. Ramey, assistant chief engi- neer, Sanitary District of Chicago, out- lined the present status of the district's program to meet the requirements of the War department in accordance with the provisions of the grant of 8,500 sec. feet of diversion water from Lake Michigan. More than $45,000,000 has been spent on sewage disposal and the program absorbs about $12,000,000 annuallv. The North Side activated sludge plant to care for 800,000 people (the largest plant in the world) is 75 per cent com- plete, will go into oneration:in 1928 and cost $21,000,000. The west side plant for 1.600.000 people has been started. Mrs. Merrill's Lecture open her course of twelve lectures on books and current events at the Wom- an's club, Wednesday, October 20.
