Weis, secretary of the board of , health, was in Chicago-today and yesterday and last Thursday to at tend the public health meetings that are being conducted at the Coliseum in connection with the municipal congress Dr. .Weis was quoted In the Chicago Inter-Ocean this morning to the effect that he had personally conducted an Investigation to see what the government was doing in-the way .of dumping lake dredgfngs eight miles from the shore lines, as provided irt, a recent federal law. : This is somewhat misleading. Dr. Weis took part in the discussion on pure water at the meeting yesterday, and .among other things Said that launches had followed the dredge boats and found that they were not going to the eight-mile limit. . The discussion this morning was on the subject of garbage di.sposal, a matter in which Hammond Is very much interested at this time. Dr. Weis Is still advocating the stand that he took whenhe firi took part in the campaign for sanitary water and sewage disposal. He says that no matter -what is done in the way of sewage disposal, whether Hammond's sewage is diverted from Lake Michigan or not, the drinking water tyseda treatment to make It absolutely healthy. Aside from the sewage deposits,'. Dr. Weis argues, the water is . not" clean enough.".-.- . ; ... .....-
