Ww a i the Chicago Canal on DIVERSION OF W FROM GREAT LAKES | | Likely to Continue For Some {Considerable Time, Says J. | L. Busfield. That the diversion of water from {the Great Lakes was likely to con- tinue for some considerable time yet, was the opinion expressed by J. L. Busfield, speaking before the King- ston Branch of the Engineering In- 'stitute of Canada in Carruthers Hall on Wednesday night. Mr, Busfield is a consulting engineer of Montreal, and last year was the chairman of the Montreal Branch of the Insti- tute, The speaker give evidence of hav- ing a very close grasp of his subject, "The Chicago Drainage Canal," and all the Information in his possession was obtainled pither at first hand from personal observation or from very reliable sources. What is now the Chicago. Drain- age Cana) was first opened as a na- vigation project to open a waterway from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico, before the city of Chicago was in existence, and its history as 4 sanitary drainage canal is a com- paratively short one. In the early eighties, typhoid fever was raging in Chicago, and in order to check this disease, a board of engineers was ap- pointed to discuss ways and means of disposing of Chicago's sewage which at that time was being dump- ved inte Lake Michigan and polluting the water. This board of engineers recommended the Chicago Draisage Canal as it now exists. In 1889 the Sanitary District of Chicago was in- | corporated and wopk started on the | canal In 1892. It was completed in 1900. - With the completion of the canal, the question which is now disturbing both Canada and the United States-- the amount of water to be diverted from Lake Michigan into this canal opened up, The State of Illinois said that a specific amount of water per head of population should flow down the canal and this amount has nuver been exceded but amounts set By the United States Secretary of War have af times Ween exceeded by 4.000 cubic feet per second. It was in 1912 that Canada was first represented at a protest against the diversion of so much water into thé ground that it was interfering with the lake levels and so injuring navigation. Charts shown on the screen by the speaker showed that during the last three or four years the levels of some of the lakes have béen Jowered from 4 to .9 inches and water in the Port of Montreal has been lowered 12 inches. In 1912 Chicago asked ll | for 10,000 cubic feet per second but was refused and the matter went to the courts and it-was not tll 1923 {that a decision was returned. In the meantime Chicago took as much water as needed--almost 10,000 cu- bic feet. Finally in 1925 the United States Secretary for War gave Chicago a permit to use 9,700 cubic feet of wa- {| ter per second until 1928 by which time the city is required to have en- i | ough sewage disposal plants built to i | handle all the sewage frfom the city, Mr.- Bustield thought that in time the diversion could be reduced to 2,500 cublo feet per second.® The lecturer showed slides to f1- i | lustrate the different phases. of his talk; these being pictures of the can- i} a1 in the course of construction and pictures of the sewage disposal plants which Chicago is now ereet- ng. That power to the extent "ot 100,- 460 horse power was being develop- i} 01 from the water diverted into the | canal was another point brought out Sy Mr. Busfield. He said that he . | thought it would be more practical for Canada to try to get some com- pensation for the damage caused to ber shipping through this diversion rather than to keep protesting that the diversion shall not' .go on, al- {hotigh through sanitary reasons it is not possible to stop it for several years yet, | Mr. R, J, McClelignd, the presi- dent of the local branch presided, and Prof. W. P, Wilgar introduced the speaker. Prof, Arkely and Major L. ¥. Grant voiced eo appreciation of the branch to Mr. Busfield for his very instructive address. . tren SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS T0 GRANT REQUEST OF| BOARD OF EDUCATION Board of Works Recommend Extension of Toronto Street and Closing of Scott Street The Board of Works will recom- mend "to the City Council, that the request of the Board of Education, for the extension of Toronto street, and the clqsing of Scott street, be granted. | The matter came before the fos. bers of the Board, at a meeting (held on Wednesday afternoon, and it was decided by a unanimous vote, to grant the request. The Board of Ed- ucation asked for these changes, to meet with the conditions in comnec- tion with th¥ opening of the new Rideau school, . The matter of "stop signs for Princess street, which was discussed at the.last meeting of the City Coun- ¢il, and which was referred back to the Board, was laid over, also matter line pu The representative of affirm man- ufacturing street flushers, addressed the Board on the merits of his firm's product. The members have had the question of the purchase of a street |flusher under consideration, but' no definite action has been taken re- garding the purchase of one. Two claims for damages as a Te sult of falls on icy sidewalks were re- ceived, and referred to the engineer and city soligitor. The claims were made by Annie Purdy, of Cataraqul. and Susan O'Neil, of Kingston. Tenders were received for the various supplies required by the en- gineer's department. These will be tabulated and the contracts awarded. The report will be submitted to the council on Monday night. The Board recommended that the salary of Miss Annie Goodearle, clerk in the engineer's department, be in- creased from $1,000 to $1,200. Ald.

T, MacClement of Queen's University ni dertook to repeat at the univer- sity greenhouses for the benefit of his students, an experiment for the control of wheat rust by the use of sulphur, which has been proved suc- cessful when tried at some experi- méntal stations and universities, The experiment st Queen's has so for not proved successful, however, owing to the fact that wheat rust spores will not germinate except in the spring of the year. In the hot- Louses everything was dons to re- produce the natural conditions under which the spores germinate, bit it was found impossible to break-up the dormant period. The experiment will be repeated at the correct sea- don of the year, but unfortunately | A. the students will not bé present to 'observe the results.
