Fixing Up the Canal to Cost Nearly a Million
Illinois and Michigan Canal commissioners report the rehab and enlargement of the canal to equal the Hennepin, with total costs just under 1,000,000. Engineers Monroe and Bassett urge rebuilding locks and aqueducts with reinforced concrete, modernized equipment, and concrete troughs, including a major rebuild of the long Ottawa aqueduct at 136,000. Completion hinges on a legislative appropriation and rapid work to meet Panama Canal era demands.
