Senator Glackin proposes canal fill and 240 foot roadway plan
A Illinois state senate bill would fill 35 miles of the Hindis and Michigan canal and build a 240 foot wide automobile roadway over the canal right of way. The measure sits among many bills introduced as the legislature opens, with other items including a Wolf bounty dispute in Adams County and a Peoria bridges repeal joke in House Bill 15. The article also surveys extreme elevation and depth records, noting Mount Everest at 29,002 feet, Death Valley below sea level, and the deepest ocean trench near the Philippines at 32,088 feet.
