Canal urged as essential link from Lake Erie to Ohio River
Ohioans urged the House Appropriations Subcommittee to approve the Lake Erie to Ohio River canal claiming delay wastes the nation. Kenneth M. Lloyd of Interconnecting Waterway Inc said it would enable free waterborne commerce between the Ohio Mississippi system and the Great Lakes St Lawrence route. James H. Hurley of North American Coal Co said the canal would expand coal markets as 80 percent of US coal comes from the Ohio River drainage basin. The Army Corps of Engineers had called the project feasible earlier this year. A private group estimates the cost at twice 1 billion dollars.
