WATERWAY SURVE STARTSTOMORROW Canadian- American Com- mission Will Leave From New York. 87 the Assoclated Press. Studying the economic practica- bility of a deep-water route between Montreal and New York, members of the Canadian-American International Joint Commission will leave New York Monday to inspect the existing water- ‘way connecting the two cjties by way of Lake Champlain. ‘The survey, authorized by the last Congress, is being made to determine ‘whether commerce between the United Btates and Canada is sufficient to jus- tify the cost of increasing the depth of Canadian and American canals linking Lake Champlain with the Hudson and St. Lawrence Rivers to accommodate large Only vessels of shallow draft are able to traverse the present Canadian Richelieu River waterway joining Lake Champlain with the St. Law- rence and the American Champlain Canal linking the lake with the Hudson. Channel Is Deepened. Work now is in progress for deep- ening the Richelieu connection to 12 feet to correspond to the present depth of the Champlain Canal, but it is esti- mated that an increase in depth to 20 or 25 feet in both would be necessary for the passage of large cargo-carry- ing ships. Should the commission decide that & deeper waterway is' justified, it then would be faced with the task of choosing between the present Riche- lieu River route on the Canadian side and one of several possible sites for s canal from the upper waters on the Richelieu to the St. Lawrence. Using two boats supplied by the United States Army Engineers, the inspection party—comprising the fuli commission and engineering advisors ~—will proceed up the Hudson, through the Champlain Canal, Lake Cham- plain, the Chambly Canal, and thence up the Richelieu and St. Lawrence Rivers to Montreal. Members of Party. The trip is expected to require one Week. Those who will make the Journey are: Charles Stewart, Sir William Hearst and George W. Kyte, Canadian mem- bers of the commission; A. O.

Daly of the United Siates Army Engineers, Guy A. Lindsay cf the Canadian Department of Rail- ways and Canals, and Lucien Dan- sereau, district engineer of the Mon- treal Department of Public Works. Engineering surveys of the project already have been made. A final de- cision will await the completion of @ series of public hearings, to be held at different places in both the United States and Canada, - which probably will be ordered by the commission when-it holds its next semi-annual mMeeting in Ottawa on the first Tues- day in October, e MISS HELM ADDRESSES ke DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE ' Miss Mae Helm, assistant corpora- tion counsel, addressed the Demo- cratie League of the District of Co- lumbia at the first of a series of luncheons yesterday at the Burling- ton Hotel.
