Fourteen Foot Waterway Project Declared Undesirable
Ashington reports the board of engineers has concluded a fourteen foot canal from Et Louie to the Gulf is not desirable at a cost of 128 million dollars for construction and six million annually for maintenance. The decision aligns with a special board study of the Mississippi River created by Congress. The engineers say commerce from current sources does not justify such high outlay. A proposed eight foot channel from St Louis to the Ohio mouth plus a not less than eight foot depth at the Ohio mouth would meet expected demand.
