EVANSTON nnn gE TERT First Aid Trained "L" Workers Save 8 Lives The lives of eight persons have been saved by employes of the Chicago Rapid Transit company as a result of the First Aid training of "L" employes under the supervision of the Medical department, according to figures just given out by Dr. Hart Ellis Fisher, chief surgeon. Five of the persons saved were in no way connected with the Rapid Transit organization, and their lives were saved at places re- moved from company property. Nine "L" employes have been awarded medals in connection with the saving of these lives, two being honor- ed in one case. Their exploits include resuscitation from drowning, electrical shock and other accidents that un- doubtedly would have proven fatal were it not for immediate application of First Aid emergency treatment, Dr. Fisher pointed out. In addition, twenty-four other Rapid Transit em- ployes have received medals for out- standing demonstrations of ability to meet emergencies. A total of 2,277 Rapid Transit em- ployes have completed the First Aid training course since this organized activity was established on the "L" Lines, the report states. All of these employes have received certificates of graduation from both the American Red Cross and the Rapid Transit management.

SEWER WILL CLEAR SUBURBAN STREAMS Timothy Crowe Promises to Be- gin Howard Street Drainage Construction by Nov. 1st Timothy J. Crowe, president of the Chicago Sanitary District board, in ad- dressing a mass meeting of mayors and civic leaders from nine towns com- prising the North Suburban Improve- ment association, at Des Plaines, last week, said that dirt will begin to fly by November in actual construction of the great Howard street intercept- ing sewer project, that will clean up the pollution of the Des Plaines river and the north branch of the Chicago river, making these streams as clear as crystal. "The need of this great intercepting sewer has long been recognized by the Sanitary Board," Mr. Crowe continued, and added, "we have had our engineers at work on the project for many months. We are just as much inter- ested in the building of this project as you are. "You know the record of the San- itary Board in virtually wiping out typhoid in the Chicago area. This was brought about by diverting the sewage from the lake, the water sup- ply of the city. "There remains a little work to be done to clean up conditions and the intercepting sewer, stretching from the Des Plaines river to the greatest treat- ment plant in the world, will go far toward this end. With sewer connec- tions north and south this project will bring relief to a vast territory and take care of an immense popula- tion. I have consulted members of the board and I make the promise that actual construction will be started by November."
