Sanitary District Plans to Clean Up Polluted Streams) A $1,864,720 contract awarded to The Underground Construction com- pany this week for construction of the second section of the Salt Creek In- tercepting sewer forges a new and important link in a Sanitary District of" Chicago program designed to clear all sewage pollution from streams flowing through Cook county. President T. J. Crowe of the Sani- tary district is authority for the state- ment that by October of next year the sewer project will have removed from the Des Plaines river and Salt Creek all sewage now pouring into the streams, in untreated form, from North avenue south to Riverside. The only remaining work can be let, according to Mr. Crowe, as soon as enabling ordinances are received from Brookfield and L.a Grange Park, which involves only the far western portion of Salt Creek. The new contract, known as Sec- tion Two, calls for the building of six and one-half miles of large sewer starting at Harlem avenue and 43rd street and extending west to La Grange park and north to Roosevelt road, and supplements the first con- tract on the project, awarded last Au- guest, which provided for the laying of two miles of sewer from the West Side treatment plant at Stickney to Harlem avenue. In addition to solving the stream pollution problem in a practical way, the new sewer brings to nine suburban communities assurance of early and permanent solution of their drainage problems by connecting them with the great West side plant, now under con- struction at Stickney at a total cost of $42,000,000.
