It appears from a report just rendered by the Chief of Engineers by the District Engineer at Chicago that, the present situation pertaining to the construction of the proposed dam is substantially as follows: At the last session of the legislature of Illinois, an appropriation of $175,- 000 was made for the purpose of constructing a dam across Fox river just below Nippersink lake, about three miles above MicHenry, Illinois. The purpose of the proposed dam is to raise the water surface in the chain of lakes above McHenry so as to make better boating facilities for those having summer homes around this chain of lakes, •ff' The people at MicHenry and other points below the proposed dam are afraid that such a dam would result in retaining most of the low water in the river and lakes above the dam, to the detriment of those living below the proposed dam. Senator Deneen and the others who have written to the district office at Chicago concerning this matter have been advised that it will be necessary for the state of Illinois to secure an act of congress authorizing such a dam before it may be built, and that the plans for the dam, (including a small lock), must then be submitted for the approval of the Chief of Engineers and Secretary of War. At present there is an old timger dam in Fox river about 3 miles below McHenry which raises the tow water surface about 3 to 5 feet according to the extent to which flash boards are placed »n the dam. This dam and the adjoining small locks are now owned and operated by the state. The slope in the river above the old dam is quite flat and the people of McHenry advocate the rebuilding of this dam to such a height chapter, filled the office of chaplain, as to furnish the desired water sur for the evening.
