OPPOSITION TO TIE EADS PLAN FOX I'M
PROVING THE MOUTH OF THE MISSlS-
siPPl.
The Louisiana Representatives are strongly op-
posed to the Eads plan for improving the mouth OF
the Mississippi They say that the weight OF en-
gneer" authority is against it as costly and lmprac
ticable and that the opinion in commercial circles
in New-Oreans is decidedly in favor of the Fort ST.
Philip Canal as the only project that will be certain
to secure permanent channel for vessels OF deep
draught. Mr. Sypher who is the author of the
Canalb says lie is prepared to show, by the state
ments of some of the highest engineer officers In the
service. that Che Eads plan will in the end cost much
more than the canal. and is an experiment tho sue
cess of which is very doubtful. The appropriation
for dredging the bar the mouth OF the MISSISSIPPI
