OPPOSE PLAN TO INCREASE FLOW OF WATER CANADA MAKES PROTEST THBOK.H KKPRKhENTATIVEK BEFORE SEc 'RETAKY OF WAR HTIMHON DOMINION TO IflAKE A FIGHT TROUBLE 0,i^CX)MK OF APPLICATION OF DRAINAGE COMMISSION OF CHICAGO DISTRICT Special to the D??lv News. Washington, D. C., March 27.?r IThe Dominion of Canada, as represented by delegates from the Provlnclal Governments of Ontario and Quebec and the commercial, manufacturing and marine organizations of many of the chief cities, appeared in battle array before Secretary of War Stlmson today to oppose the plan to increase the flow of water through the Chicago Drainage Canal. The official and commercial delegation were reinforced by oemlnent Canadian counsel. At the outset of the hearing it became apparent that Canada intends to make <* vigorous fight for what she considers her rights. The trouble is all over an application of the Drainage Commission of the district of Chicago for an increase tn the amount of water that they shall be allowed to take from Lake Michigan for drainage purpose. At present the amount is 4,00 cubic feet per second. They want this increased to 10,000 cubic feet and the reason alleged is for the purpose of Increasing the drainage system. In ^behalf or the propose* R Is argsed that the project affects no less than 2,500,000 1 people included In the drainage district and that it Is absolutely necessary to their health and safety to Increase the drainsat least until some other satisfactory means is found for disposng of the sewage. The Canadian objections, which are shared by Michigan and other states bordering on the Great Lakes, .jire based on the belief that the lowering of the lake levels would seri sanitation <Tf many cities, j The treaty between the United States and Canada permits the water of the lakes to be used for drainage Bystems, hut it is alleged that although the application is being made 1 under thlB guise. Chicago's real pur pose Is to get enough water for po*er' development CLEA9MTP DAY It Is gratifying to see 60 m*|ky cities and towns baring "CLeafc-tip Dary." It is rertftniytQ tbcJuterefet of'im'proved health.33. Well as Improved appearance in out cities and homes.
