Chicago sewer report hides wealthy undergarment tale
The 1957 annual report of the deputy commissioner for powers, filed at city hall, recounts a Chicago multimillionaire's long underwear incident. An errant long johns set blocked a 4-inch main from the Conrad Hilton Motel last April 24, later cleared by sewer department experts. Deputy Commissioner Thomas D. Garry refused to name the man, saying it could happen to anyone with such undergarments.
