Complaints of Its Filthiness— An Official Test. “Interview with the Mayor on the Subject ~-The Remedies Proposed. The Bridgeport: Pumping Works the Only Feasible One. A Visit to the Crib—The Water Dirty ~—Effect of the Winds. Where Is the Honey to Come from to Carry Out the Proposed Plans ? For some time past complaints have been nu- merous on the part of the consumers of water— and almost everybody consumes more or less— ‘that it was muddy and full of dregs, and a well- grounded opiniou bas prevailed that the south- western winds were driving our sewage tow:rds the Crib and impregnating the water. Theso complaints have come to the city Authorities time and aguin, and, though no noise hrs been made about it, it hus leaked out that the Mayor hasbeen quictly muking some investigations and triuis to satisfy himself, It is understuod that the firat- complaint came from his own household. ‘It was to the effect that the water drawn from the faucets was greenish, thick, and guve forth an unpleasant odor. This was same. weeks; ago, und be was rendy to nt- tribute it to anything else than the emptying of -the river into the lake, but yesterday the com- Plaint came again, and, not caring to take any one else's word for it, he tried the water him- self, and found it just what had been repre- seuted, and was somewhat alarmed. He imme- diately came down to his oftice to * CONSULT THE CITY ENGINEER ON THE SUBJECT, and, lest there might be some local trouble, it was dotermined to make a test at the rookery, and the Health Office was selocted'us the place trom which to got the aumples. The faucet ‘there has 2 filtor attached to it, and is estimated to bnve a capacity of about ten gallons per minnte, To start with, the filter was thoroughly cleaned, attachod, and fifty gal- lons of water were allowed to pass through it. ‘The wator was thon turned off and the filter re- versed, and the contents of it emptied into a glugs and allowed to stand. The water was vory muddy, and the particles of filth were percepti-. ‘ple to -the naked eye. After it hid stood awhile —say five minutes—the top of the water was covered with a greasy, semi-glutinous matter, to tho depth of u quarter of an inch, which was of dark color with a slight greenish tinge; the pottom of the glass contained a sediment hav- ing the appeurance of very fine sawdust; and in the body of the water were floating particles of fibrous matter—-the whole being repulsive and calculated to create a prejudice against water as a beverage. A second test wus made with the same result, and the samples in both cases were preserved, labeled, and sent to Dr. Danforth for anulysis. Learning of the Mayor's increased interest in the pure-water question, a reporter sat down in bis private office to have a talk with him on the neral subject. “ What do you think,” he said, by wa7 of opon- ing the subject, * of the several plans propusod for giving Chicugo pure water and getting rid of the sewe! evily “ Whore do you want me to begin?" “Well, begin with THE SCHEME FOR DEEPENING THE CANAL." “That I regard as simply impossible. It wi) cost millions of money, and the State busn't got cno2gh surplus revenue to undertake unything of that sort now, and probably wou’t be ina cou~ dition to do go for several yeursto come. It is ress the Istest and best phase. one of those things that lic so far ahead fn the future as to take it out of tho realm of tho pruc- ticable.” “How do you Nke the elaborate scheme of pumping-works somewhere between Evanston and ‘Highland Park, with Judge Farwell's in- genious contrivance for turn! Washington Street tunnel inte an immense cutch-pusin und the present luke tunnel into a mammoth sewer? ‘The objection to the first purt of the scheme also Hes in the expense, which would simply be enormous. My own ides is to BULLD TRE TUNNEL FARTHER OUT INTO THE LAKE. J don'tsee any benelit in running a tunnel to Highland Park, unless we come to the conclu- sion that these tunnels are not safe. Judge Farwell’s {dea of using the tunnels to curry the sewage out is based on tho supposition that the tunnels are in g condition, My own idea. is that the system ‘is to ush these tunnels out farther into the Inke. if the present tunnols are safe as fur as the crib and are going to be safe, I see no reason why they could not be pushed out two or three miles or more. Pusbed two miles further, they would rench a depth of fifty-four fect of water. My idea is that the true way is to push thom out to that distunco and then to erect acrib us we did this one,—tloat it out. The crib would be in sections, so that when we have located it and conducted the tuunel to that point, wo could cut the top section off twenty-five feet be- low the urfac.’ Then I would have ao system of sates, the chains to which should be attached to flouting buvys, so that we could at any time close up the flow of water into them if it should become necessary.” What would be the particular advantages 10 be gained by all this?” - «First, we would have our supply two or three miles further out_thun at present. From the information that I can get, the Chicago River, it wewere to empty all of our sewage into it, and if we are to have a million people here, that sewage would not then go five miles out into the loko. The system of winds which prevails here is such that the river water emptying into the jake would either go north, contiguous to the shore, or south, contiguous to it, and would not reach the new crib, four or five mites out.” “Ig THIS PURE THEORY, OR OTHERWISE?” “ [base this statement upon information which I bave received from engineers, but which £ have not tested. It may be true, and it may not be. But suppose the flow of the river cannot affect the water four dr five milesout, With a crib so built that ‘below the surface, {o buoys 20 that we could command the mouth of the tunnel, what will be the result? We will then have a crib that can never be affected by four miles out ice never sinks down $0 us to rench anything below the surface. ‘Such acrib would Iust forever below the sure face, because there are no animalcuke in this fresh water to destroy wood when entirely be- Jow tho surface.” ‘ Wouldn't the anchors of vessels be Hable to fall foul of your sunken crib?” . “Thatis the only danger 1 can. imagine as likely to exist. but by having a ‘system of con-~ epicuous buoys that dunger, I think, would be avoided with almost absolute certainty.’ “Have you figured on the cost of such & Ke" No, not at all. Ihave simply thought of its practibility, and engineers that I have talked with are of the opinion that it could be done. Te ig something that occurred to me,~purely an idea of my own, The cost, of course, would not . be as great as the cost of running "'A TUNNEL UP TO HIGHLAND PARK. Engineers tell me that the cost of a tunnel be- yond the presont crib would range from to probably 100 per cent greater than the cost of the tunnel) from the shore to. the | prosent crib, i to Highisnd Park, we would still have to run a tunnel some two miles under the lake to get rid of the sediment and theshore washings. Mfy own belief is that the sewage running into the river, even if we bad miltion inhabitants, would more rendily reach the shore line nt Highland Park than it would go four or three miles out into the lake. It would have been better yenrs ago to have built a natural reservoir on the shore at Highland Park to con~ nect with Chicago than to have spent 30 much imoney for building a tunnel out to the distance of the present crib.” “ The remaining plan is to erect PUMPING-WORKS AT BRIDGEPORT. What do you think of that ?” ‘My own impression is, that, if the Canal Commissioners will enter into 2 contract with the city by which they will agree to tuke care of whatever water we muy find necessary to throw into the cans! for the purpose of cicansing the river, then fhe prope thing for the city to do Yrould be to bufld those pumping-works. But ‘vould merely be a tomporary expedient, at few people have made an of what amount be necessary to st. ery accurate — calculation of it will throw in. Mr. Singer bas stated that 60,000 cubic feet per minute lifted into the canal’ would empty the river twice in twenty-four hours. Mr. Singer is mistaken, That amount of vwater—60,000 cuble feet per minute—will make $6,000,000 ‘cubic fect per day of twenty-four hours. ‘The absolute meusurement of the Chi- cago Itiver from its mouth up to Bridgeport, and then from the basin bere to Fullerton avenue, tig 92,000,000 cubic feet. Therefore 60,000 cubic per minute would fall short 5,000,000 cubic | rect of emptying that part of the river. Then there are sovernl million cuble fect in the uth of the mouth of tho canal and in the slips. Still f think that 60,000 cubic fect per minute would at present practically. purif; the river, though it must be remembei ‘thi the city is growing with vast rapidity. It may become necessary in the next two or three years to lift 100,000 cubic feet per minute. But before T would be willing for the city to undertake to ‘Duild these works, which will cost, I think, Teast $100,000, and_in the neighborhood of $1008 day to run them, T should want to have positive assurance fromthe Canal Commissioners that they would take care of that water ‘and save the city harmless from any damage that such an amount of water lifted {nto the canal might work along its line. Dr. Rauch says the Canal Commissioners will enter into such @ contract, ‘Coming back, it wrs found th: butIhaye not yet had from the ve as- “The would we ie Appro| heer clty and raised by direct panna nes “CAN THE COUNOIL APPROPRIATE THAT AMOUNT ‘THIS YEAR?” “Yes, provided they don’t pile on other appro- riations too heavily.

On the contrary, it was somewhat roiled, or, us Kalstrom ofticititiy put it, “rily.” It was botter. however, he suid, than ‘It hud been for several days, and he accounted for this by the fact that tho current, instead of being from the shore, was towards the shore, the wind itself having varied during the day from north to north-northeast. 1t was manya any, he said, since he had scen real bine water in the crib, though be hud seen it some distance out the day befere.

Inasmuch as real blue water, however, was not to be seen at the crib, the Mayor was deter mined to : RIDE OUT UNTIL NE FOUND IT. ‘The little party got aboard again, and the tux Shoved out to the northeast. When about n quarter of a mile out, the green hue gradually changed to x decided ‘blue, and the lend showed 2 depth of forty fect. it, at nbout an eighth of a mile out from the crib, where the depth wus thirty-sixth fect, the water tgain us- suined the roiled appenriince. leurly showed that the wing, The investigution cl for Februnry has-been west and southwes! tearly all the month; that the water at the erib has been roiled most of that time; that yosterday, when the wind changed to the north and northenst, it wasn't so bad, al- though there was yet room for improvement, ‘The natural presumption is thut, if the wind gots Jong enough in that particular corner, che blue water will flow In towards shore and reach the Crib. It is quite possible, of course, that an analysis of the water contained -in those two botries which the Mayor triumphantly bore to tho City- Hall muy show it to be perfectly harmless. If it docs, the difficulty must be found at another place than the crib,—in the pipes. Should it prove of the same character ug that taken from the pipes, iz would. show that there was no adul- teration on the wits from the crib to the faucet, and, argumentatiyely, that nll that Chicago needs is 1 nor’-norwester 365 dys in the yeur, or the extension of the tunnel two or three iniles out, something after Mayor Hurrison's plan. ‘The resuits of that analysis will be awaited with no little interest. The Main Drainage Committee of the Citizens’ Association have held two meetings recently to hear suggestions ns to plans for tuking care of the city's sewaxe, but they have omitted a very important inquiry—one which is vital, and un- less answered the scheme finally agreed upon cannot be carried out. It is, WHERE IS THE MONEY TO COME FROM? Chicago, ag is known, cannot borrow any, the thunieipal debt now being somewhat in excess of the congt{attional limitation. The State is prohibited trom oniwzing the canal, sbould that be recommended, except out of its carn- ings. It certainly Is not the State’s business to look atter intercepting sewers in Chicago, if it is decided to construct them, and there is no pos- sibility that Congress will appropriate in auy Teusonable time anywhere from $8,00,- to 5,000 to deepen" the canal and an outlet for the make. refuse of this city. Inonly two ways, then, can the necessary funds be secured,—by the con- tributions of property-owners, or by direct taxit- tion upon the people of Chicaso. The question of means ‘would appear to have, never, been thought of, judging from the efforts of a Tri- UNE Toporter yesterday to get an answer to the interrogatory. sy “Thaven't studied the subject of sewers, said one of the Committee, * sulliciently to tell you anything; but something must be done.” + How will the money be raised?" a x pout know. “The city can't borrow any.” “Let it be raised by taxation then.
