Call for state run water system with pumping stations in Chicago

A call for state control of Chicago’s waterworks argues for a nonpartisan engineer board appointed by the governor to run the system. It condemns local control as graft prone and warns against universal water meters, claiming they would raise costs, promote waste fears, and drain the water fund used for other city needs. The piece cites foreign aqueducts and large modern projects as models and urges pumping stations at lake-end section lines to ensure ample supply.
