Lake states argue diversion points in Chicago river hearing
The water diversion hearing on Chicago's lake water use to carry sewage toward the Mississippi adjourned with parties satisfied. Maj. Rufus Putnam admitted river shipping declined since diversion began and that the minimum flow needed to prevent foulness is about 4 000 cubic feet per second. The hearing, ordered by the supreme court, will resume April 1 in Washington with lake-state counsels seeking to stop lake water use as Chicago speeds up plant construction.
