Sooner or later the citizens would realizo the fact that — the lake would necessarily be the receptaclo for the sewarage of the city.

The crib was two miles awav, and could not bercached by all the sewernge that thio vity coult empty into the Jake, nor would it be reached by that “seweraze even thoush the clty were twice nslarwe. Part of the matter— not enough to give offense—could be ducted away through the canal nnd the rest pumped jn- to the Inke by the engines of the Fuilerton aventis conduit, and the city could thus be ro- lleved without offeuse to any one, S A reporter took time yesterday ta COMPAILE THE POPULATION of the agerieved section with the popula- tion of Chicago,.
