Michigan's Waters Safe: Taft Denies Chicago Board Permit
Secretary Taft rejected the Chicago sanitary board's plan to divert Lake Michigan water into the Calumet River drainage canal. Brig. Gen. Mackenzie had warned such abstraction would lower Great Lakes depths and harm harbors, making trade losses and costly fixes likely. Taft concluded only Congress can authorize altering lake levels, disallowing the project without its sanction.
