CHICAGO TAKES NEW STEP IN WATER THEFT
Chicago late Thursday took another step in its fight against the recent decision of Federal Judge George Carpenter, Chicago, ruling that not more than 4,167 cubic feet of water per second should be diverted from Lake Michigan for the use of the drainage canal and supporting the contention of Wisconsin and other states on the Great Lakes, that Chicago is taking an illegal amount of water.
W. J. Healy, president, Sanitary District, appointed three men to confer with senators and congressmen, with a view to legalizing the present withdrawal of water, about 10,000 cubic feet per second.
The drainage board voted to post a $5,000 bond with the clerk of the United States supreme court, Washington, pending an appeal to that court from Judge Carpenter's decision.
