Chicago Canal Opening Seen Despite Commission Report
Chicago drainage trustees insist the canal will proceed and lake levels will not be measurably affected. Engineers will observe and measure to determine impacts before operations. trustees say no court or government delay will halt work.
Trustee Cooley Opposes River Drainage Critique
Trustee W E Cooley says every point in the engineers report was foreseen and discussed before canal construction. He notes uncertainty in how 10000 cubic feet per second abstraction would lower lake levels and asserts the river’s navigability issue will not be ignored. He cites prior surveys, maps, and $25,000 spent, and argues the canal aligns with national policy to unite the great lakes and Mississippi. Coxey upbeat about gubernatorial bid after touring Vanesvillek. he claims narrow race against Bushnell and predicts victory. In Surknick, Wis, William Smith, a piano player, was shot and killed by Grace Williams, an inmate, with authorities calling it an accident.
