Title A name given to the resource Chicago Drainage Collection Subject The topic of the resource Illinois--Chicago Illinois--Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Waterways Illinois--Chicago Sanitary District Dams--Design and construction Canals--Design and construction Canals Dams Description An account of the resource The Chicago Drainage Collection documents the construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal during the 1890s and early 1900s. The canal serves as a shipping link between the Great Lakes Waterway and the Missisippi River and it carries Chicago's sewage to the Des Plaines River.  Construction on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal began in 1889 with the creation of the Municipal Sanitary District in response to fears that sewage pumped into the Chicago River and into Lake Michigan would contaminate the city's drinking water. The canal also served as a replacement for the narrower and shallower Illinois and Michigan Canal. Canal construction ran under the leadership of chief engineer Isham Randolph from September 3, 1892, known as "Shovel Day," until January 2, 1900, when water was first released into the canal.  During the construction process, engineers successfully and permanently reversed the flow of the Chicago River, enabling it to carry waste water away to the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. Admiral George Dewey dedicated the canal on May 2, 1900. Additional construction extending the canal to Joliet ran from 1903-1907.  Photographs in this collection include images of the construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Bear Trap Dam at the base of the canal in Lockport, Illinois. Other images include Admiral Dewey's visit to dedicate the waterway as well as before and after images of the empty and filled canal. Still Image A static visual representation.

After finishing school, he moved Chicago to live and practice law. He became interested in constitutional revision in the 1940’s and worked diligently for it, pleading before the Illinois Senate Executive Committee in 1947 and the House of Representatives in 1949. He was actively involved in getting the 1950 “Gateway Amendment” passed which made it easier to amend the constitution. He was the state chairman for the Committee for Constitutional Revision from 1950-1957. Witwer ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1960, losing to Paul H. Douglas. In 1968 when the voters favored a constitution convention, Witwer was elected as a delegate and then chosen by a 109 to 0 vote of delegates to act as its president. The convention succeeded in drafting a new constitution which was then passed by a large majority of the voters. Witwer was also involved in civic organizations in Chicago. He was a director of the Chicago Urban League, the Citizens for a Greater Chicago and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. He was a member of the Chicago Union League Club, which gave him an award in 1954 for civic service.

Montgomery Ala. May 22 65 Governor I have received several letters from my brother, Col. Clark E. Carr, in which he has described the exertions which you have so kindly made in my behalf. And I desire herewith to express to you my obligations for your kindness and consideration in coming to my relief when I have been so unkindly and unjustly dealt with by my com- manding General. During my military career I have never favored the practise of resorting to the influence of friends to procure military promotion. But the practise of the head of the government depending entirely upon the reccom- mendations of Commanding Generals is liable to abuse when those Generals are (like all human be- <hr /> ings,) subject to prejudices; founded either on personal interest, or on mis- representations made to them by others. And, when such cases occur, I deem it not only justice to in- dividuals, but to the country which they serve; that the President should, through other channels, be made acquainted with the real claims and merits of the persons in question. It is not necessary to disguise the fact that I expected to be promoted for the Vicksburg Campaign and I can- not believe that all of the Division & some of the Brigade Commanders of [McClernands?] Corps deserved promotion more than myself. But I will not inflict upon you the history of the campaign which you know so well from having been a participant. I took the liberty of sending you one of the Wooden Mortars used by my <hr /> command in the capture of Spanish [Fort?]; the Key to the defenses of Mobile. In the accompanying letter I failed to say, that it is made of the Sweet Gum Tree which grows in this climate and that the iron was obtained from rebel artillerry carriages captured in the beginning of the seige. I suppose that you will lend it to the fair at Chicago: I would be glad for you to do so, as I am unable to respond to their request for trophies. It is quite safe to fire, & there are plenty of returned soldiers who could load & fire it if desirable. Very Respectfully & truly yours E. A. Carr Brig. Gen.
