The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal’s waterway develops horsepower sold at a reasonable price and removes sewage. Whereas, in Buffalo, New York, sewage from the Niagara front pollutes Lake Erie and the Niagara River. The Erie and Ontario Sanitary Canal Company proposes building a waterway similar to Chicago. Millard F. Bowen, President of the Company, further discusses plans for the canal and its benefits. The final page includes a diagram of the proposed waterway.
