Resolutions from River Convention Support Inland Waterways
The convention urged a channel no less than six feet wide and an annual federal appropriation of at least $2,000,000 for the upper river. It praised Roosevelt’s Inland Waterways Commission, endorsed canal surveys between Lake Superior and the Mississippi, and urged Congress to fund such efforts. It commended river and harbor improvement work, proposed a Mississippi border Iowa congressman on the rivers and harbors committee, and thanked Moline, local press, and supporters. Notables John Deery, Professor C W Hall, J C Haynes attended, with letters from J F Elieon and James T Floyd read.
