RIVER-HARBOR ACT GIVES IMPETUS 10 MIDWEST CHANNELS Mississippi River System Is Ad- vanced by Provision of the Measure Just Passed RELIEF IN TRANSPORTATION Vital Importance to Country Is Seen in Linking Up of Gulf and Lakes Via Illinois The Mississippi Valley association calls attention to the rivers and har- bors bill approved by the senate on June 20 as the most significant of the several great forward steps toward the development and use of our in- land waterways which have taken place ‘during the past 12 months. Among the important projects dealt with in the rivers and harbors au thorization bill are the following: 1, Completion of the Lakes-to-the- Gulf waterway from Chicago to New Orleans. 2. Construction of a nine foot channel on the Mississippi river from St. Louls to Minneapolis.

Construction of a nine-foot channel on the Tennessee river from its mouth through Chattanooga to Knoxville. 5. Further improvement of the Kanawha and Allegheny rivers and the intracoastal waterways east and west along the gulf coast and numer- ous other connecting channels to the Mississippi river system of waterways. 6, New surveys to determine the feasibility of further improvements on many important arms of the system. Great Feat in Linking Many other worthy valley projects are authorized in the bill. This legis- lation is the result of years of work by the army engineers, the rivers and harbors committee of the house, the commerce committee of the senate and many individual members of both | houses of congress who have labored | intelligently, honestly and effectively | to secure for the nation these im- provements. Of vital significance to the entire nation is the linking up of the world’s two greatest inland waterway systems —the Great Lakes and the Mississippi |river system—through the channel in Illinois. The question as to the amount of flow from Lake Michigan to be permitted for navigation in this | channel is dealt with by limiting the | flow for the present and providing | for a study by government engineers to be presented to congress on or be- | fore January, 1938, with recommenda- | tions regarding the diversion.

In commemor- ation of this accomplishment Presi- dent Hoover said: “With the completion of our na- tional job on the Ohio, we can well turn our minds toward the other great jobs in waterway improvement which lie before us. * * * We should com- plete the entire Mississippi system within the next five years. We shall then have built a great north and south trunk waterway entirely across our country from the gulf to the northern boundaries, and a great east and west route, halfway across the United States. Through the tribu- taries we shall have created a net- work of transportation. We shall then have brought a dozen great cities into direct communication by water; we shall have opened cheaper transportation of primary goods to the farmers and manufacturers over @ score of states. Significant Steps in Plans Other significant waterway events during the past year are as follows: The actual appropriation of . $55,- 000,000 for river and harbor improve- ment work and the allotment of a fair proportion of this amount to Projects of the Mississippi valley. The appropriation of'an additional $12,000,000 for channel improvement in the deficiency bill with the under- spent in the Mississippi valley.
