French Creek Canal Promoted as Cheaper Ohio River Route
Col W E R Covell of the Pittsburgh district engineers told Allegheny River Improvement Association delegates that the Allegheny French Creek plan would need 34 locks and dams yet cost 27 million dollars less than the Beaver Mahoning route now approved. The Penn route would be 191 miles long at 152 million dollars, with 16 locks, while the Beaver Mahoning path spans 129 miles at higher property damages. Reisenman of Franklin vows to oppose the Beaver Mahoning plan citing riparian rights. Covell notes 1,800,000 tons more moved on Pittsburgh rivers in a year than through the Panama Canal.

Woman Killed When Truck Strikes Car
A woman died after a truck struck her car in Crawford County. An autopsy showed a broken back. Her husband suffered multiple injuries. Carl Carlson, a corporation official, faced potential action from Crayford county authorities with a formal inquiry expected. Carlson was in Meadville as details remained unavailable at press time. This marked Crawford County’s second fatality in under 24 hours. Kathryn Snyder, 21, of Meadville, was fatally injured when the car she rode in crashed on Meadville Saegertown road earlier, with Clarence Brown, 21, of Erie driving the other car. Mrs. Clarys Sherman of Saegertown and Ernest Williams, 27, of Erie, were not seriously hurt.
