Atlanta Canal scheme ends in last-ditch analysis
Special correspondence reviews the abandoned Atlanta canal project, noting a $4,000 survey exposed a required 100 mile canal at no less than $5,000,000. It would begin 25 feet above Atlanta with a three inch per mile fall, risking floods in a cyclone and relying on distant waters. A dam-and-reservoir plan near the Chattahoochee is offered as a practical alternative.
