ST LAWRENCE RIVER TO BE MADE DEEPER Yl Be Navigable Tor Deep Sea Vessels According to Plans Detroit, Oct. 16.—The cost of mak- ing the St. Lawrence river between the Lake Ontario and Montreal nav- igable to deep sea vessels was esti- mated at $252,728,200 by Colonel W. P. Wooten, United States army en- sineer, and W, A. Bowden, chief en- §ineer of the Canadian department ol rallways and engieers, who made an 18-months survey of the proposed lakes to the ocean route for the in- tcrnational joint commission. This cost, they reported, would provide for a chanel depth of 25 feet with pro- vision in the permanent improvements for increasing tht depth to 30 feet, if desirable, at an additional cost of $17,986,180. 4 Maintenance was 82,562,000 annually. Their recom- mendations, however, contemplated elso development of a power plant that would produce 1,464/000 horse power. This plant, built on a great dam at Long Sault Rapids, near Ogdensburg, N. Y., & was declared could be expected to produce about 40 per cent of the potential power in the St. Lawrence diver. The improvement program recom- mended by the engineers contemplat- ed a serles of nine locks, 33 miles of candls; forty and one-halt miles of estimated at lake channel and 108 miles of river] These improvements were'| channel. conceived to take care of the 220 feet drop from Lake Ontario to Montreal. Locks 824 feet long by 80 feet wide were/ recommended. Canals with a ‘bottom width of 200 feet and a sur- face width of 320 feet were suggest ed, and it as recommended that all upen channels have a bottom width of at least 450 feet. The mmprovements recommended by tbe United States and Canadian en- dlneers called for three locks be- iween Montreal and Lake St, Louis, three between Lake St. Louis and Lake St. Francis, and three between Lake St. Francis and Chimney Point. near Ogdensburg, N. Y, The main dam of tht proposed hydroelectric plant at Long Sault rapids would develop a head of T4 feet, the . engineers reported, an emergency dam at Ogden Island, to De used for regulation and addition- al safety also was recommended. The new Welland ship canal being constructed by the Canadian govern- ment is being, built to accommodate vessels 800 feet long with a draft ol 25 feet. Provision is made, however, for deepening the usable depth later to 30 feet, The canal is 25 miles long and steps down a drop of 326 1-2 feet between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. It is to have seven lift locks, three of them twin locks in flight, similar to the Gatun locks of the Panama canal. It is estimated that one of the locks can be filled in eight minutes and that e through the canal can be made in eight hours. The new Welland canal is the fourth canal to be constructed by the Cana- dian government between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The third, or present cadnal, is restricted to vessels of not more than 14 feet draft with locks 270 feet long and 45 feet wide. The first Welland canal was built'as a private enterprisa being completed in'1829. It had 40 wooden locks, each 110 feet long, 22 feet wide and eight feet depth of water on the sills.
