Campbell preslding. - The Committee on Approprintions, among othor things, reported adversely on tho House oilt upproprinting $7,000 for « THE SPRING LAKE CANATL. Thvlmlnorlty presented a report In fnvn: of fho bill. . Senntor Callon claimed that the citizens in and tround Spring Luke had been deprived of the *atural outlet to the Itinols River, and thence © market, It wasamattor of justico to give thom the canal, By closiug the outlot years aso by the State great damngo had beon done, and 1t ¥aa time now to repalr it » Sonator Luanning sald tho Inke was twelvo lles long, and lay in Tazewell and Monard Zounties, Tho cut required would Lo one and & quartor miles in length. Tho warchouses wero eut bl by tho erection of n lock and dam on the river by Btate authorities. A oanul had been bulle by the Btato In 1877, but it wns tuo shallow, and should be deopened and wideacd to muke it availavle. Senator MofTett sald it was THE OLD, OLD SCHEME 10 get monoy out of tho Stuto Treasury, It would be no timo ut all untll somo one wonld ‘wunt to take tho locks and dutns out of the 1lll- nols River. He dld not think it wus good polley o take good money to dig vut a little shallow lako and mukea canal to nllow n few peuple to got tomarket. Inshort, it. was mercly an at- tempt to.tllch n little Stuto money, Benator Whiting said this Inko was an arm of tho river. Tho people nround the lnke hud a natural right to an outiot. The Copperaa Creek dum had been bulit, and deprived thom of thelr xights. This appropriation wus a good one, and tho bill should pnys. 4 Senfitor tice romarked that the carnings of tho canal should bo applicd to tho muking of thoso improvoments. Thore was no reuson why people llving away from the lmprovement &hould be cotapelicd, yoar after year, to muko appropriations of this kind. g BENATOR IIUNT 3ald it was clalmed that, becauso tho Loglsla- Lure gome years meo had made au approprivtion to do thia work, it should be complotud now.
