Virginia Water Line shown as crucial to West transport
The Virginia Board of Trade committee report, prepared by Robert W. Hughes, urges constructing a 482 mile waterway from the Ohio river to tidewater on the James River. It promises cheaper, shorter, and more reliable transport for Western breadstuffs, with ice only fifteen days yearly and four-year completion. Funding seeks Congress aid, net income would cover interest and leave a sinking fund in ten years. The plan would unlock Mississippi valley commerce from New Orleans to St Paul and open a western outlet for Pacific wheat.
