It Is, however, going to require the cooperation of the city and the citizens of tUist Chicago with the Water Company to bring this about, as it will be impossible for the company to finance itself and get the money to build tha plant unless there is perfect harmony between the citizens of Bast Chicago, the administration and the company. PEOPLE MUST BATE XT. "I appreciate that the people siiould have had filtered water .several years ago, and they would have had it, if it had not been for politics. I believe that If the people of East Chicago had known that t was politics that stood in the way of "their having filtered water they would have made it possible for us to build the filtering plant, but it is very hard to get the true facts in a case of this kind before the citizens of any community.
