PROPOSITIONS TO CONVERT THE CHIC RIy.
Err INTO SLACK WATER CANAL.-At O
meeting of the Pittsburgh Board of Trade
gentleman submitted proposition on the
subject of Improving the Ohio river, by
converting it into slack water canal
The suggestions were unanimously APPROX
ell by the Board, and were earnestly recon-
monded to public consideration. The dis
tonce from Pittsburgh to the mouth of the
Ohio is 977 miles, with an aggregate fall
OF 425 feet. 1t is assumed that to convert
the entire river into a slack water would
require only fifty locks, of an average lift
of 81 feet, which would create pools of an
aggregate length Of 1872 miles. The ave-
rage cost of the work h from seven to ten
thousand dollars per mile, which is supposed
to be about half the expense Of an ordinary
canal, or about one-third the average cost OF
n railroad.
