Chicago Canal Opens as Water Flows Into Des Plaines System
Chicago marks the opening of the $33,000,000 drainage canal with water turned in at 9 this morning. The collateral channel, cut toward the main canal, allows 300,000 cubic feet a minute but is being fed gradually to avoid damage. Officials foresee about a week before the canal fully fills and sewerage begins to move toward the Des Plaines. The event drew few spectators and light receipts, though markets showed gains across pork, lard, ribs, wheat, corn, oats, and flax futures as traders anticipated the canal’s impact.
