Since 1859 I have had charge of a self registering tide gauge at Milwaukee for the Lake Survey. This fully confirms my discovery, and shows the height of the tide to be the same as by my observations a little less than one tenth of a foot.* I have made no discovery of a tide on Lake Huron as blunderingly stated in Appleton's Cyclopedia. C.B. Comstock and Capt. Geo G. Meade have fully acknowledged the importance of these observations.
Mr. E.S. Chessborough or W.H. Clarke Engineers Chicago will tell you of the value devising plans for sewage and for the waterworks at Chicago.
