Mississippi River waterway plan by Hoover outlined
Herbert Hoover envisions a 9 000 mile consolidated inland waterway system spanning 29 states to modernize transport for the middle west. With 6 and 9 foot depths and 25 foot shipways, the project aims to cut bulk shipping costs, connect the lakes to the sea, and include flood control as a national effort costing 36 to 40 million over 10 to 12 years. The plan relies on modest surpluses and argues prewar limits, shallow channels, and lack of sea-connected transport hid potential.
