Shall Chicago Be a Seaport Deep Waterway Plan
A San Louis convention in St. Louis will discuss a proposed deep waterway linking Chicago with New Orleans via the Mississippi. Engineers describe a 14-foot channel from Alton to St. Louis and a broader plan to canalize Des Plaines and other rivers, with costs estimated around 52 million dollars. The project aims to boost commerce, lower Lake Michigan withdrawals, and connect northern mills to southern markets, though it faces substantial engineering and environmental hurdles.

City boards to decide naphtha gas street lamps contract
The Board of Public Works will place the matter before the city council to decide without delay whether to approve the contract with Bun Vapor Light Company to treat gas and naphtha lamps for the coming year. The board cannot extend the Cleveland Street Lighting Company’s contract beyond Sant. 15, forcing the removal of lights and pressing Jenunel to hasten Sun Vapor’s contract so lamps can be ready when the current firm ends.
