The question of the unpleasant condition of the Chicago River has been s favorite oce in this city ever einco that stream came (o bo tho receptacle of the sewerage of a large povulation, It doos not anywhera clearly appear’that thia Chicago River ever was much of a atream, and the balance of tes- timony wonld Indicate that It was at the firat settle- ment of the city abont such astream as the Cal- umet now {s, As soon as a rapidiy-increaning population presented the question of sewago to the aathorities, the river rose from the rank of 8 convenfence to the diguity of A nulsance, and it haskept a firm hold on the popular mind ever since. It has occupied the time of the Conncll, filled tho newapapers, aud employed {honsands of men In vigorous, though unpald, profanity, The only wonder in the cass (s that It has been anflered to grow In offense #o long, The South lranch has runk into the obscurity of com- parative purity, and may, for the purpose of this zelation, be passcd by with that comment. As long ago as 1855, when tho pevple were get. ting ready to elect James Duchanan President, tho 11l savors of the waters were commented on, and schemens mada ta clear thom. It had been acknowl. edged then, and has nover eince been doubted, that It was a nccessity of the location of tho city that tho river should " form a main sewer to discharge the city's wasteage into the lake, Tho firet ides advanced wan a rather crude one, that cauals be built from both branches of tha river to the lake. This scems to bave the - sleep of the just for years, nntll, In tho report of the'City Engincer in 1802-'6%, Mr, Cheabrough, who stiil’ holda the ofiice, discunxed the vanuous plans, such ns terning the Desplaines Hiver inta o North Branch to get a current. At that time Mr, Chesbroughuketched the plan for the tunnel, and showed clearly that it was practicable, and that It would do the wurk planned for It, In the report for the Hoard for 1870, Mr, Ches- brough again discussed the matter at lengtn, THE POUR SCHEMXS then beforo the public ware these: A nystem of intercepting rewers, running par- allel with the river, 10 1axo all the sewnge befuro It reached the river, and convey ittothe lake. ‘This was not favored on account of the expense, which was sct down at not lcss tuan $3, 000, 000, A system of resctvolrs high up tho fiver to maintain carrent enough to_keep the river clear, Tt appeared that these would need 2,500 acres to store the water for one month alone, and that kilfed that scheme. Artesian wolls were proposed, but Mr, Chesbrough showed that It would take 405 such wells as are common Lere to give tho water needed. Tho fourth suggestion, which was strongly favored by the Engincor, was about the first pute ting in shape of the condult, It was, in eftect, that a twaive-foot tunnel be bulit along the line of Fullertonavenue, from the lako to tha river, u dis- tance of about two miles. The estimate of cust 'was $480, 000, which will not be wo far ont of the way. h’olhlng way done, and In the report for 1872-'73 Mr, Chesbrough again recurs to the subject, but only for the purpose of controverting Ald, Schaff- nee's plan for o lot of artesian wells, In 1873 the work wan determined on and bids invited. The firat sot of blas were OJ".‘ned Sept. 23, 1873, and the loweat was £40,800. This, not proving en- tirely satisfactory, anether lot werendvertised for, and wore opened Feb. 0, 1874, 'The loweat bid this time was 8302, 500; but eiill another trin] was had, and at the third attempt, the bids being vpened Sarch 21, 1874, tho luwest figure was $3H43, 254, ot which prico the work was let to tieorge ¥, Norris & Co,,to be comploted by July1, 1875. 1t was calculatud tnst it would change all the water in the North Hranch in twenty-four hours, acd clear the whole riversevery thirty'slx hours, the capacity under o four-foot head helng 34, 660,000 gallons, Tho specifcations under which tho work was let to Norria & Co, wers thatthe tunael was to be abuat 11,000 foet In lengti, with an average depth of twenty-five feet below the surfice of the street,—1, ¢,, having its bottom line ten feot bolow Lhe city datom, Tho mavonty was to be twelvo Inches In thickness, of bricks {ald In coment.

It will be romembered that tho citizens of Lawndale organ- Ized for protective purposes, because of tho threate ening rapect of affalrs last sumimer, and 3r, J. J. White was prominent amons them.
