Lakes Channel Project Speeds Through House Hearings
The Great Lakes connecting channel plan of 110 million dollars may gain House approval this year. Chairman John A. Blatnik expects a brief hearing and less opposition than the St. Lawrence Seaway, with potential authorization within months and Sen. Alexander Wiley signaling Senate push before adjournment. The project aims to deepen channels in St. Marys River and nearby passages to 27 feet for two-way traffic, improving depths from 25 and 21 feet.
