DROWN, on being called on for bis viows, sntd ho had not given the matter any particular thought. Hi {dens, however, were probably very different from thoso which would be — itdvanced by others. Ho presumed that the princl- pal renson for wanting to improve tho drainuye was the fear of tho contamination of tho water supply. Ile would change its source, and thereby disstpate tho fonr, It was a mia- ‘tako orlytnally to gut the supply from near Chi- enzo. Instead of going out Into the lake a mile or two, we should have goneup the shore twenty: or thirty mfes,—to Luke Forest or Mighland Park, where tho bluffs wero 100 feat high,.18 he was Informed,—built. a reservoir, and brought, the water to tlie city by. an aquediet, supply ty the towns on the way. Tho Sonth Branch eoul thon have been flushord, the sume 3 the North Branch was, by pumping: Waris. and the sowerige problem disposed of, Ho thought that the city would huyo to do this ultimately, Sowngo bad been found in the like, by anatyals: of tho water, seven miles from Chiengo. Hyent- wally there would bea ship-eannal, which would elennso tho river; but tho quicker tho water supply was obtained a tong distunca from Chi- engo, tho fess money It would cost, NN, SINGER had no well-defined plan, but his thoughts had run in tho direction of getting rid of tho foul water in the river, He held to the original iden of enlarging the canal and allowing the water from tho lake to pnss Into ft, thus diluting that in the South Branch so ns to make it cndurnble fn tho Milnois Valloy. It was not so now, There wasn good deat of complaint, especially where tho water broke, and Inthe city, that the canal was not doing the work itought to, The resaon was that the lake had now ons of ite pe- riodient low turns. It oceurred to bin that a fousible remedy within rench was to put ht a lock or barrier at ridgeport, erect aome kind of machinery, and throw tho river water Into the canal, This used to he dono offcctuniy when the canal was on the raised level, According to figures he had made, 60,000 cubie-feat per min. ute could be raised four feot whove grade at Nrldgeport, and given a veloclty of about. a milo undfi-quarter an hour. ‘Thoro would be but. Uvo feet nbove fee atthe other end, but the lessened enpacity would be componauted for by the Inerensed velocity,—not, however, beyond a milo and a-halt an hours Tho ourrent night bo objected to for horse-bouts, but “thore wero fo few of | thom oon “the canal that thoy wero hardly worth mentioning, Iie npprehenided that the stoam-boats would be able to navigate against the current hotter than, thoy now do*ngralnst the slight current in tho, smiti canal. By raising the water tivo fect 50,- 000 cubie fect per pane could he thrown inte tho canal; but 60,00 cuble feet per minute would chango tho water in the South Branch in a Nttle tess than ton hours, If this wero repent- ed every ten hours, he npprehonded thera would pO 10 would be no complaint. ‘This would answer tho Purpose for from oven to ten years. In tho meantime the question of a ship-eannl could be figitated, wid the work ultimately carried out. Evon if tha city had the moans in bank to-day, tho ennal contd not bo economically constructed in loss thunt flye years, 80 It acomed that there: was nn nbsoltilo’ neoosslty for getting rid of tho Tivur water now. Tho Chatrman inquired if the present banks of the cin] would stand the additional water, Mr: Singer answered that thoy would stand olzht feet at the lower end and tivo fect at thls, With nine fect at the ather end, tho banks might: ive to bo raised a little about Lockport, : Gen, Sinith usked ff there had been any Aine up of the canal by tho doposlt of sewage sedi- ment. Mr. Singor didn't think thora hnd been near Bridgeport, or whore tho canal was of tho ordl- nary width, tho current and the notion of tho. pont wheola enrrying it off; but in tho-wite placos tho sediment had neoumulnted to some extent. And there hail boen a narrowing of the canal in somo plnges owlng to tho dirt working down “oft tho slopes. Tho present current was wbout three-quarters of a mile un hour, it was neces. siry to Incronse the declivity In order to carry off tho Inereased poe 4 of water, If tho canal were. a feet SOD a. presne decllvity would give alt tha cnrrant neadod, ‘ Miy Handing desired e know tho cost of tha jomporary trrangement. : 3 Me. ginger auld. ho would bo willing to furnish ‘All the appliances for $100,000, Tint was an aut- aide fizure, The operating oxponsea would bo from $80 to Sj ndny.

Dr. Williamssatd that THK WATER OF THE LAKE WAB UNQUESTIONABLY POLLUTED, Ne had found within tho last alx weeks an in- crenea of efght gratns of nolld matter, and could not believe It wis due to anything han sews axe flowing Into tho river, 15 the orginiams ns Well as organized substances now preeent inthe Inko water werg rendtly found in the river, Prior totho pumpind at the Fillerton-avenue works theao subatanes wore not discovered. The coy- erlogs of grain were now found in lnrgo quanti- tles, The organisms wero such us were observa blo in Biapciiait water, Among these wero forms which were supposed to be ditmgerous— animatenhy which bad never received n name, He had made drawings of thom, which. he pre sed to send to scientific mon for des untion, An exatminitlon of wuter from the South Branch dlactosed 24 fran, ina gulion, Tho natural quantity of sold matter, onto. and inorganic, in thé river ahould not be far from fifteen grulns. The additional inntter was ohtefly animal, cepecially fats. In tho North Braneh, prior to the operntion of the condult, he found forty grains to tho gation, Eleven days after tho pumping begun, in Ramples from the bottom and” the surface, mixed, there were only cleven graing, showing 1 decrense of twenty-nine. The question arose, Did tho twon- ty-nine grains yo down to Jollet, or were thoy drunk by the people here? "He was inclined ta Delleve the Jatter, on necount of: the increased number of organized substanees found in tho Inke water by nid of the microscope, He believed that the presence of the grein coverings in the Inke was evidence that tho North Branch water reuched the Crib, a8 before the pumping nt Fut ferton tventte thore was not its many of thom, He hnd noticed that the sewage from the Twelfth, Twenty-seeond, and Twenty-Afth street sewors flowed toward the Crib, 1 thin atream of scum resembling gronse being observable on the sire fnee whon the water was searrmeensvely till, Why it tended that way be did not know, but he iad never seen it floating in any other direction, though he had heen vt the mouth of the sewers when tha water wits calm. Tho same thing had ‘been noticed by othors. Mit. RICHARDS explained ut considerable length his plan for in- tercopting sewers along the bank of the river and branches with wregervolr, from which the sew. figs contd be taken and utllized for ngricultural purposes. Mo malntained that there was an un- dertow or current in. tho river ten fect below the surface, into which the solld matter sank and was carried out into the lake, Heneconly the surface water could be drawn off at Bridgeport, When asked, he could not give a clear explann- on mS to whence this water came to supply this undertow. ‘Dr. Willtams ogreed with him ng to the wnder- tow. Ho tid dlecovered it in hts examinutions, and found. the current to bo about hilt a mile wibhour, He thought it was duo to tho recoil, and (us In proportion to the upper current and tho force and dlreetion of the wind, ‘Mr. Hicharits and the Doctor then had an arg ment as to whether there was any current in the river, the formor clulining that thoru was, and the Intter the contrary, Mr, Baumann sald” ho was on a committe three years ago which reported adverscly on the Wehatds pian on ntccount of its expensiveness, Dolleving it wag entirely beyond tho menns of the city, Anto the utilization of tho sown, it was entirely out of the quostion hereabouts, In Europe the refuse was worth something, Mr. Iehacds, iu reply, suid tho coat would not excoorl $3,000,000. 1Hut $5,000,000 would be 1 od- eond to Chicngo, as it would relleyo the city of the disgrace of Its sewage. and of tho wrory it had dono its neighbors. ‘The plan had been mb. mitted to the old Board of Pulgic Works, and pronounced tho best over suggtsted; but the only trouble was tho cost. GEN, MMITIE sald with an increased population thoro would Dean increnso of tho traublo, The people of thls alty were not atone concerned, for tt was ovident that: tho objectionsble mutter must bo enrried to other loculittes, and the people thore had rights whieh Chicago could nat disregard, If tho sownge were to be discharged through tho ccunal, it was neceseary to present an advantiyo to the neople living along its Ine and tho Ine of tho Minols River, That would come in the shape of an increased yolune of water, making the Iinoia more naviguble. Was. It not better toapprouch the subject with broad views, and propose to at once construct a canal lirge enough to carry of nm sifiicient volumo of water too mnako, the Ilinois no more objectionnblo? Ha sei this ontiroly t prietical. Al the city’s sewago could be dls. charged ShrouR: the ‘ennal, ‘was utterly im- onible to discharge tho poriies into tho lake because thnt wits a fixed body of water, onl: moved by the winde, and not to any grent oxtont by them. Pumping works would give present. relict, by Incrensing tho flow of water, but it wns hardly courteous to discharge the sowage. into the canal for the people in the valley to drink. By an enlurgement of tho canal the water would bo so diluted ua to be inolfonsive and.amobjectionnble, Harding, while in favor of tho temporary expedient, endorsed tho plan of Mr. Iichards, on. Sinith said it was evident one of two things must_bo done,—elther Incrense the depth of tho cunt) sons to scour the bottom of tho riyer, or elas not pormit the kowage to onter it, Which was better war a question of expense, Mr. Rlehurds remarked that, if bia plan wero adopted, the sownye would not go-into the canal ar river, but be utilized. ' . + Meyer didn't think tha sewnge could be utilized bere. In Europe the stuff waa worth twonty times 18 much ns hers, Nonttention was pald to It here,. While ultimately the plin might be pricticni, for tho present the pump- Ing-woyks should be adopted.
