Texans push bill on Trinity Canal development
About 200 Texans appeared before a House Public Works subcommittee to urge passage of a bill authorizing a $911 million Trinity River development plan. The project would add reservoirs, locks, dams, a barge canal, and a water route to the Gulf of Mexico for Fort Worth and Dallas, with construction funded in later appropriations. The Army Engineers deem the plan feasible and economically justified.
