Bishop Rogers Jokingly Makes A Few Suggestions
Wall Street Journal reports New York boaters seek better access to Lake Ontario via a deeper channel with a $1 million to $2 million cost. A Minnesota coast threat prompts $795,000 flood protections. Congress aims a $1.1 billion public works bill for flood control harbor improvements and erosion defense. Bishop Rogers, jokingly, suggests a $1 million elevator, a carrier harbor, and a ship canal to connect with the New Deal lake system.
