Canal Commissioners Report Promotes River Improvements
The canal commissioners urge continued river improvement from Henry to the mouth, citing a $1.8 million cost for four more locks and dams, enabling 230 miles of navigation for large steamers and linking LaSalle to New Orleans. They describe feasible tonnage, coal regions, and extensive federal dredging, arguing the full 280 mile project would be cost effective.
