The board met Ia pursuance Of the above
order, and having carefully investigated the
advantages and Disadvantages Of the various
plans proposed for the Improvement OF the
Rock Island rapids, recommending the fol-
lowing:
/. That the present steamboat channel
be enlarged by excavation, to . minimum
width of two hundred feet, ard navigabls
depth of four feet at the time Of low wafer,
which 10 aomew hat creates than the ruling
! depth in the river north and south Of the
rapids during that season. This recon
mendation is made in view Of the econoni>
cal execution OF the work aud the present
demands Of commerce. Should the ultimate
interest of commerce demand greater
depth than four feet, IS it would IN case
greater depth could be obtained above and
below these rapids, the plan Of an nie.
pendent canal and locks without dams
would then best promote that interest, the
practical result Of such plan being beyond
question.
.. That the excavated materials be 40
deposited in the river bed IS to check cross
currents and conEne the volume OF water, ~
far as practicable, to the new channel.
3 That Golfer jsms be used in carrying
on the work, more particularly, however, .,
Moline and Campbell's chains. From the
best information VIC can obtain. they can be
put I'D by the frat of September, the peri
cd OF low water beginning about this time
leaving at least three and half months FOL
taking out the material but ~ the work II
10 be done by contract, the mode Of opera
ton may be left, to great extent 10 the
contractor.
4. That the work should not be entered
upon until an appropriation be made which
will cover its estimated cost, experience
having shown that snail consecutive appro'
priations in such cases augment the ulti-
mate expense beyond all reasonable calcsla'
ton, and are virtually thrown away in nsr'
preparation.
8. That the Improvement which has beet
proposed by means Of locks and dam
across the river, is inadmissible. 1t would
erect M obstruction permanent throughout
the year, whereas at high and ordinary
stages no hindrance to navigation now ex
