An editorial observes that no man pleases all and mocks self serving critics. It jokes about editors overeating, advises young men in courtship, and argues necessity drives invention versus idleness. It toys with caricatures of critics and muses on Edenic fruit versus bananas.
The Sanitary District of Chicago reports preliminary work on the Calumet Sag Channel with the Illinois and Michigan feeder widened to aid drainage. Topographical surveys map the route to the Calumet River for a channel linking to the main system. Construction may start next spring once right of way is secured, at an estimated cost of 1 8 36 500 000, capable of 2000 cubic feet per second, rising to 4000 if the injunction is dissolved. Currently 8000 cfs is drawn via the Chicago and North Shore routes, and 10000 cfs limit would be removed when completed, negating sewage discharge into Lake Michigan.
