- THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNIE: FRIDAY, DL EMBER 18, TRANSPORTATION. Economical Plan for Enlarging thoe Tilinois & Michigan Canal to Summit, Oondition of the Atlantio & Groat Western Railroad, Eallimoro & Olto Not in {ho Saratogn Comblnations Miscellancous Ltems. THE ILLINOIS & MICHIGAN CANAL, LOW IT CAY DE ENLARGED TO 6UMMLE. Zo the Lilitor of The Chicaao Tribune: Sm: lomy lottor to you of {ho 25th ulk, publishod in ‘Cnz: Unmuxa of the 4th just, I stated somo of tho rensons why I deomed an carly onlargeont of tho Ilinols & Michigan Canal of tho first jmportance, especially to tho City of Chicago. Iwlilladd that it appoays to mo, outsidor ns I am, that the enlargemont of it {1om Chieago Riverto Summit,—n distanco of 8 miles in n straight line,—if made deop enough for tho nverngo voseols which outor tho harbor, would bo of great bonotit to tho commercial aud manufacturing interests of tho cily, nsido from Its goneral advantages, Tho incroased facilitios which it wonld give Lo various kinds of Lusincss which 1equire spaco, nud would bo botter away from tho hourt of the elty, 1f not needed fust now, very soou will be, Such s chanuel,—160 Lot wide and 10 or 12 feet deop,—with substan- tial docks upon each side, oy divectly upon a commereial thoroughfare which would goon be- romo secund ju importaiiee Lo none in tho Union, could not fail to attract eapital nnd population by tho superior faolities for varlous kinds of busincss which it would give, and tho rolative cheupness of tho property. I'he earth excavated int forming this oulurged canal wonld bosprond out upon oach sido for several ‘hundred feet, thus giving admirablo ground for buildings, lumber- Yards, purailol railruads, ole. I 1 au corroct 1n my estimato of tho valuo of this improvoment to your wity und our tate at Targe, lot us mquire whettier such enlargement nuy not be made without any cest in money to either Chicago or tha State, “The probable cest would be from £3,000,000 to £3,600,000, Lo Stato owws the canal ay it vow is, and n alrip of Jaud 90 fect wido on cach side ot it, do« uated by tho United Statos to tho Stato of Iili- nois iu 1822 for tho purpose of constructing o canal, nnd **for no other purpose whatever.” Aftor uning so much of theso strips as would bo required fur the ealavgement, a strip of an ay- crage width of from 40 to 46 fect upon cach sido would romnin, Not a very large quantity of Innd, it is tiuo, but, aa it would control tho eutira frontago of tho cenal, it could Lo mado exceed- iugly valuable by co-oporation with the owners of contiguous lunds, whoea lands without such co-operution would Lo of comparatively little value. If the ownors of those lunds would con- vey to the State, or those to whom the Stnto nugbb give o title to tho {routage, a strin of 600 or 600 teet in width upon each side, it wounld, doubtices, more thun guadruple the valuo of their remalning land, nud it is senrcely probable that any owo wouid Le so biind to Liu own inturests as to decline to do this if o could Lo guarnutecd the speedy enlargemout. Now, exactly how the object desired—thut is, to havo these two narrow bolts of Jand lefe afler tho cnlurgement_pay for that enlargement—is to bo sccomplished L don't protond to know, I will smply uuanfit, and leave it to wiser Leads {o maturo o plan, 1 iavo statod that the probable cost of enlarg- ing and docling tho 8 wiles of canal from Chici- g River to Sutnit would be from £3,000,000 to £8,600,000, As tho charactor of the earth {o bo cxcavated to form tho enlavgemont is now per- feetly understood, and the quantity both above wud below water can bo uscorfuioed with cor~ tainty, the cost mszy be estitanted witn much mecuracy, especially 28 it Lios already been do- termined what kind of machinery would bo re- quired to most effectually accomyligh the- work. The § miloy, including both aides, would give B4,480 feet of ‘dockago, which, within five yoars [rom the completion of the enlargemout, shonld bo wortly, 1t would seem (with tho strip of Innd 50 or (00 feot in with), kay nn average of €50 or #C0 t front, At £50 per fool it wonld amount 24,000, nnd at 60 to tho sum of §5,068,~ BUD, Lmay Lavo pluced too high o value upon thiy property, and readily grant that Iam a poor jndgo of it, compared with tho real-estato spec- ulntors of Chicnyo, who Linve o world-wide repu- tation for ehvowduoss, But, elthough they ave, doubtless, * honorablo men," I wonldn's trust their oxpressed opinious too far, whero they Lep- pen to bo much iuterested iutho samo Lind of property. . I'tio bue and cry wag raised fow years ago that tho narrow sirip of tand which would be loft £ the State aftor tho onlargemont was to bo loased for u long timo to_sceuro that enlarge- ment, and that uvtold millious would thus be sucrificed to the loss of tho State aud tho benefit of individuals! But tho State has now had full contral of tho canul and canal proporty for vearly four years. - ‘Yo 90-foot strip of land now covered with tho earth excavated iu conelructing tho presont canal, aud worth 80 many willions; &till remain untouched, the property uf the Stato, end will thus still ramaiu, nuless used as I have indicated, T'ho truth is, theso strips of Iund ure obiolutely worth nothing as thoy ure, and cun ouly bo munde valuable to the Btato in rome ouch way a3 I have wsuggested. In thiy way thoy may be made, ponstibly, to pay tho cost of moking a wide ship-cana from Chicago Liver to tho Valloy of the Do plaines, 18 it not worth tho cffort # A failure would leavo tho matter in no worse condition thau it is ut prosont, If the Legisiature wonld anthorize the abeoluto Ealo of tho BLrip of laud reserved Lo any respon- eibla cumbmn y or companies that would make the lTowest bid or bids for vxecuting the work of tho sulargement 3 thut is, roceiviug the swmallest nmount of this mwargin for tho largeut oxtent of comploted cuoal, provided tho amount puid for doing the work should not exceed tho amount for whicns the stiip shonld ba sold, 1 cannot porcoive tlut tho intorcets of tho Stato would Lo in uny mauner jeopardized, Tho company or compr- nios undortaking the work should be required to comploto it within » given timo and a certamn ox- ieni each yeor,—the titlo to the strip being made by the State only o test os tho cuimrgoment should be completed. I'be work would, of courao, commence at Chieago River, sud from thence bo comploted continuouely toward Sumrwit, and [ ehould supposo that tho fiontage at and near Iridgeport would at onco be in demand, uid soll eb fair prices, Thero may bo botter modes of urriving ot the desired result than I havo sug- gested, but Tonly hopo that the matter mny bo dizcusned, and sowu dofinito setion taken by the Legislature 1 regard to it. 10 making tho caual culurgoment it would bo ncceszury to change tho track of tho Chicago & Altou Rafirond, but this expenso would not be very groat, aud woutd probubly bo cheorfully borne by that Compuny, in cunsidoration of_the iuerouscd foeilities tor. bueiness whiol would be f“‘ell by the enlurged cuusl, deep onough for uko vewsels, runufig parallel with it for 8 ilen, WiLLaX Goonia, Looxront, Dec, 16, 1874, e ATLANTIC & GREAT WESTERN, : ANNUAL NEETING OF TULE COMPASY, Tho aunual mooting of the Atluntie & Groat ‘Western Iailrond Compuuy was hold In Now Yorlk Inst dlouday, Tho following porsous wero elsot- «d Dircelors for tho cheuug year: J, I Dover- cux, Clovalaud, 0.5 W. 8.
