Report of the Board of Public Works Wisconsin Rivers
The Board reports on river improvements along the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers at Oshkosh Fort Winnebago and Portage Canals. It outlines project organization, dredging needs, contract status for drawbridges and canal walls, and funding delays due to a surveyor’s death. It notes bids for protection work on the Wisconsin River and lists contractor efforts and outstanding warrants while urging legislative action to support funding and land sales to sustain the improvements.

It describes plans to increase lock length to 160 feet, switch to stone and timber, and the discovery of more accessible stone for Grand Chute.
