MUST WAIT FOR PLANT

C. H. Geist Speaks Before Representative East Chicago Men Regarding Impossibility of Building Filtration Plant at Present. A flirrMion plant cannot be bu'H in Tvt Chicago, unl!i it be buill as a war m'ajurf. With ail camouflage rcmovfij, this fact stood out clearly last i iKht. nhn at a chamber of commerce dinner. ". IT. Coist, of Philadelphia, owner of the water company, said that at the present time he saw no prospect of the constrip t ion of settling basins and filter bod; vmt l war conditions ceased.

And ncn if we bad it. materials could not be bough, restrictions that are beins imposed today by the ne essitie-f uf the government, make it asoHitely impossible to flost any bonds except liberty bonds, to let any contracts except under government supervision or to make any public utility improvements ivv rs-n-tirtl in the prosecution of war." F".asl "hit-ago people were isibly impressed with Mr. Geist's frankness. Citissns XtTt Wcadercd. Citizens of Fast Chicago and members of the chamber of ommcrce hae been wenriering for six months or more why nothing: was bein dona apparently hy the East Chicago and Indian Harbor Vir company in response to the or i r of tne state mililic service commission whic hsupulated a yea- and a half uso that the company should hae a filtration volant in operation by January I, liUS. All kinds of rumors have been in the air. It was reported that plans could nut be secured; then that bidders could not be found: that bonds could not be sold, etc. In order that the utilities corporation and the people might have a chance to hy hH their cards on the table, thor oughly understand each other's frame and thiH-h the matter i.iit open and .boe leant. iip off an;, mask of oamoi.ua;.,e t but might exist and net down to co!J. hard tacts a to conditions and possibeuio. the chamber of commerce ins ned Mr. Ceisi and his officials to a public meeting and through the press invited every citizen to attend. Noisy Oaas War Absent. With very few exceptions, however, those who have been making tiie most r.o.se about this proposition were conspicuous by their nbsence. With the exception of the Harbor end of the city, the meeting- was a representative one, a number of prominent club women being present. With a few words of introduction as to the purpose of the meeting. President Friedman cailed upon Mr. ;cit to cie the facts relative to the filtration plant situat ion. The speaker frst gave an interesting bit of history concerning his past relations to this region, going ba. k to the time when vi.h an initial capital of only Jo.Of'M! lie purchased the old Hammond Illuminating Co.. evolving therefrom the present Northern Indiana (la and K'.ectric Co. a corporation into whose improvements during the last seventeen or eighteen years $23.''00.'0i) in cold cash has been invested. Bcnra Tsst Sam for Couny. $22,000,000 of that money." said Mr. Geist. 'has come from Philadelphia and the east. Incidentally. I might say. that during that period there has boon, through my influence. $ C3.f00.iMi0 transferred from the cast and invested in Indiana securities. I give this t, imply as an evidence of my intense interest in the progress, development and welfare of this region. "Thus far," said be. 'every demand made upon us by the public has been met. But today, we confess, that through the intervention of the war. we are decidedly up against it. We know of no way whereby we can give to the people of East Chicago this much needed filtration plant. We know you need this service. Tou are entitled to it. And if anyone, from this city or any other, will tell us what more we can do than we have done will tell us how we can pet the money and the material to build this plant we will welcome the information." He said that If petty politics had not blocked the way. the nitration plant might have been built Ave. six. seven or eight years ago: that the lack of cooperation among city officials had blocked him in every attempt that he had made to reach a condition that would make such an improvement possible. Omen of Happier "Relations. "This is the first time." said he. that I have ever been invited to a conference of your public men. Personally, I am highly gratified. Nothing can be gainM by continually scrapping and from this time on. let us be reasonable, sit down calmly together and work out our common problems. All that we shall want at any time is a square deal, whose term shall be stipulated, if you will, by non-rartisan and unprejudiced experts. To me this meeting is an omen of a brighter future and happier re'stions between the company and this people." At the close of the discussion. K. W. WiiU?y. in the course of a spirited and interesting laliv, said that in the light of the information jrivm he could see but one possible solution of the problem. He suggested that the construction of the filtration plant be advocated as a war necessity, involving the welfare of a region largely engaged in war contracts, and that the matter be placed before the Lake County Council of Defense and that this body be requested to take it itp with the federal government and ask that the war department get behind the project and make possible the sale of the bonds and the purchase of material. Mr. Geist Perfectly Willing-. He asked Mr. Geist to petition the county council to this effect and Mr. Crist said immediately that he would follow the suggestion, that he was willing to do anv thing that gave any promise of relief. A motion v s? then made by Mr. Wickey and seconded by Mr. E. N. Can'ne that the chamber of commerce request the council to take favorable action on the petition when presented. The motion was unanimously carried. This. then, will be the next line of procedure. If th" government cannot be induced to lake a hand in the project, it seems to be a foregone conclusion that East Chicago will have to wait until the end of the war before it. can have potable, healthful drinking water.
