Water Power Loan Plan Promoted by State Commission
The Internal Improvement Commission of Illinois urges a 20,000,000 bond issue to fund a deep waterway and hydroelectric plant. The plan features 200 foot decks, 24 feet water over sill, 100,000 horsepower output, and a projected net revenue of 2,500,000 with costs totaling 18.0 billion. Earnings begin in year seven, bonds retire after fourteen years, yielding a net state profit of 2,005,694 and long term tax relief. The commission argues the project conserves natural resources and strengthens the lakes to gulf waterway, financed by bonds repaid from earnings.
