Waterways Plan Faces Federal Hurdles in Illinois
Springfield reports from Washington that Illinois may face delays before the United States approves the $20,000,000 waterway. Army engineers reportedly oppose terms for federal takeover, with Governor Dunne seeking a permit to construct locks and a dam on the Illinois River above Utica. Secretary of War Garrison may overrule, and opposition includes General King, chief of engineers, and Judge Advocate General Crowder. The plan envisages state construction funded by voters, tolls and water power sales, with eventual transfer to federal operation except the power plant remains state owned.
