Water reform drive: state run Chicago water system urged
Chicago residents demand state control of the city’s water works with pumping stations at lake ends of section lines to secure ample supply and low rates. They oppose meters and graft tied to water districts, arguing the current locally run system is inefficient and costly. The piece cites New York Liverpool and European cities as better examples and attacks water meter backers as profiteers.
