Beardstown Seeks Aid in Illinois River Flood Crisis
Beardstown officials and flood committee blame the Chicago sanitary district for canal overflows that increased river flooding. A. D. Mil, engineer, says 100 cubic feet per second more water entered the canal than allowed. The drainage board denies the charge, citing efforts to minimize flow to protect Chicago’s sewage. Salvation Army sets up three months of relief, with Coast Guard help patrolling the river.
