Deep Waterway Bill Aims for Illinois Canal Channel
Springfield March 19 The deep waterway project to connect Joliet to Utica through a 24 foot depth with five locks is proposed to be built by a state commission in cooperation with the United States government. Costs are to be funded by state bonds and water power revenue. The measure shifts control to a five member deep waterway commission with land acquisition by standard legal methods and aligns with the internal improvement commission and Cooley estimates. The joint session then adjourns with the majority report upholding no prima facie case for opening ballot boxes in the gubernatorial contest. Senate and House advance several bills including dramshop, Sunday liquor sales, and textbook uniformity.
