This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discussion of the Drainage and Water Supply of Chicago The writer confesses to having been one of those who voted for the adoption of the Drainage Act. He understood that it was approved by the Citizens' Association, who claimed to have investigated the subject - something must be done - the method formulated by the Drainage Act was declared to be the best, and, indeed, the only attainable solution of the drainage question, and there seemed virtually no alternative. Vague suspicions arose in the minds of many, after the adoption of the act, and the election of drainage trustees, that the proceeding was ill-advised, and it was hoped that the Supreme Court would declare the act invalid. In this, they were disappointed. The attention of the writer was first drawn to the matter, by the suggestion as to the vast amount of damages which the city would have to pay annually, for flooding the bottom lands of the Illinois River Valley. It requires no very great experience as a lawyer to understand the danger, not only of having to pay large amounts for damages actually sustained, but of a larger amount, which would be recovered on trumped-up claims, but which local juries would most assuredly find against the city, and it was this apprehension, that led to this investigation. If the city could have settled the entire matter, once for all, by building the channel at an expenditure of the fifteen million of dollars ($15,000,000) provided for in the Drainage Act, while there would have been the conviction that there might be a cheaper way, it is hardly probable that this attempt to investigate the subject would have been made. Without any previous study of the drainage question, or of the various methods by which sewage may be disposed of, and with only the vague reports made by the engineers as a basis, the outlook for a comprehensive survey of the matter was rather formidable, but no one else seemed disposed to do it, and as it was something which ought to be done, the following attempt was made - with what success the reader must judge. The work; was entered upon without any prepossession for or against any man, and if any disapprobation appears in these pages toward any person or persons, such disapprobation arose from the facts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report to the Board of Health of the City of Chicago, on the Necessity of an Extension of the Sewerage of the City This table shows that the mean daily temperature for the four months that influence life most was 68 in 1866, when the mortality was great, and that in 1867 there was an increase of nearly and a great decrease in the number of deaths; with no change in 1868, and an increase in the death rate; and in 1869 a decrease of 1 in the temperature, and a decrease in' mortality. In 1870'there was an' increase of 3 of temperature, and. Al though for this year the rain-fall was only three inches more than for the preceding, both causes, no doubt, operated together in increasing the death rate. In fact, the temperature was higher than for any of the years under consideration. In 1871 we find a lowering of temperature of with a slight rain-fall, and a marked decrease in the death rate; and in 1872 a. Decrease of 1 of temperature compared with 1871, while the rain-fall was four times greater and a higher death rate than occurred in any year since 1866. The table, therefore, shows that high temperature does not have the same effect upon life in this city as the amount of rain that falls, and that in 1866 and 1872 the death rate was highest when the temperature was lowest; and the natural inference is, that by proper drainage much of this waste of life can be prevented. We can regulate the drainage of the city, but not the temperature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
