Deep Waterway Bill Hearing for Chicago to St Louis
The house committee on rivers and harbors held a hearing on a plan to build a deep waterway between Chicago and St Louis. The project would have the government fund 60 million dollars and issue 2 percent bonds for fifty years to pay for construction and operation by private power companies. A dam across the Mississippi would form a deep channel enabling a 20 foot low water dredge to reach the upper Illinois river. A Lincoln address followed on Sunday praising Lincoln as the embodiment of his era and recounting his life, leadership, and influence from Poplarville to Gettysburg.
