...Delegates representing the interests of Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Wisconsin and Canada called on the President and urged him to oppose any effort by Chicago to withdraw more water from Lake Michigan for sanitary purposes than is now allowed: "Chicago now presents the brazen spectacle of undertaking to induce the national Congress to sanctify a bold theft into an honest act.
