Aged Engineer Proposes Mississippi Harnessing

Plan to flood control river with cannel levee speedways
The proposal envisions raising flood control from 54 to 100 percent with a central canal through the spillway. Landowners near the spillway would live outside the embankments, and long automobile speedways could be built on the levees. The plan aims to boost commerce, agriculture, and navigation while creating permanent relief. Riker suggests damming the river at points and adding locks and power plants, enabling ocean liners to reach near St Louis and generating over 5,000,000 horsepower to offset costs.
