Illinois Waterway Plan Seeks State Bond Funding
The Putnam Record notes Illinois aims to build a waterway from the Drainage Canal end to Utica, estimating 126 000 to 130 000 horsepower could be generated and rented for about 3 000 000 annually. A joint resolution seeks a 20 000 000 bond to fund the project, with bonds repaid within roughly ten years as the waterway becomes self supporting. The measure passed both houses without party opposition and voters will decide at the November election.
