Wr, Tiomss, Geaceral Superiutendent, In addition to what Mr. Tuomas says, it may bo stated that when tho canal was origiually dug, the engineers, for the purposs of inauring o con~ stant supply of water, thraw a 10-foot dam acroes Stony Creck, near Biuo Istand, aod then dug from the headwaters of that stream, in tho Town of Worth, a ditch due westward to tho canal, “T'his oxcavation rans throu fih a depression callod tho Sag, and occupies tho bed of what was ouco astresm or bavou, counacting tho lnko and the Desplaines.

Bineo it was in the ponor of tho Htats to have filled up the artiticial chonnel it had made, there is no reason why they should complain becausa, at certein tinies, thoStato chooues to dam that chianuel to protect its caval from injury.

Now that the Bine Island dam ro- forred to above, which backed tho wators of Htony Creek, has boen romoved, it bocomos easy for the rosidents of il Worth and part of Paloa to rmo all their surplus water eastward through tho creck, instead of pouring it into tho Foedor. ‘I'his onco dono, the amount of druinago into tho Inttor can bo eaelly maanged, oxcopt in a soason of such raing as wo have been having, and theu the Bng Nunkr{‘ln overfluwed, no matter how many ditchios thers may be or what way thoy run.
