Engineers Report on Lakes to Gulf Waterway
The board appointed by the river and harbor act of 1910 favors a navigable depth of 9 feet from Cairo to the gulf and 24 feet for the lakes reach. It recommends enlarging the Illinois river channel from Utica to the mouth to a certain depth at a cost about 1,050,000 and providing 8,710,000 for Mississippi water to St. Louis. The report notes lake vessels remain unlikely even with deeper water. towboats with barges or heavy freight crafts will remain the cheapest profitable inland vessels.
