Waterway Conflict Seen Over Illinois Deep Water Project
The Republic reports a potential clash of interests between the Marseilles Land and Water Power Company and the state of Illinois as work nears on a deep waterway from the lakes to the Gulf. The plan includes a south side navigable channel with two power houses, while the Marseilles firm may seek automatic gates and water-level raises. the state may seek to take over private interests, with past legislation allowing state acquisition but not without compensation. Work is expected to start this year, with state engineers surveying from Ottawa and drilling crews returning to resume borings south of the river.
