Stand for the People Drainage Board Fights for Public Water Power
The Sanitary Trustees battle private claims over Chicago water power from the Drainage Canal with Eminent Counsel defending taxpayers rights. The plan envisages a $5 000 000 dam and tall race at Joliet to generate 24 000 horsepower, yielding about 1 20 000 000 annually, linking to public utilities under President Smyth leadership. The piece praises public ownership, cites court battles in Judge Tuley and Judge Hanecy courts, and notes union printer opposition to Hopkins Senate candidacy while listing expiring street railway franchises on the North and West sides and the revised election timetable.
