Route debate over Hennepin canal survey and Chicago interests
M Ha aad argues for a northern canal route from Hennepin to the Mississippi that saves about two miles to Chicago and three locks, avoids Rock Island, uses better clay bed, and reduces crossings. The plan would divert freight from Rock Island to the northwest, benefiting Chicago shippers andibers. The Illinois movement seeks engineer Herr’s forthcoming report and congressional estimates.
