THE OVERLAND ROUTE.
Hon. G. c. Comstock's Ship Canal Sur
NeYed TO Lnmont


The survey of the route for the ship
canal as proposed by Hon. c. c. Com
stock has been completed as far as La
mont, by County Surveyor Skeels. The
line begins at Mill creek, on the Alpine
road, and runs through the flats on the
West Side to the Butterworth road
from the crossing of that road to the
Waters farm, SIX miles below. the line
Is almost a dead level. Then comes a
succession OF bluffs and sand hills that
would have to be cut through. The
line touches the river at the mouth of
Sand creek, nine miles south of the
city, and again at the end of the Bridge
street gravel road.
There would be considerable distance
saved in following this line, but it
would involve a heap of digging and
the cost would undoubtedly be far be-
yond the means of the city. The
Board of Trade do not look with favor
upon the route, but Notwithstanding
that fact Mr.. COmstOck Will have the
land route surveyed As far as Grand
Haven. When the route is completed
and a profile map i eNecutcda a fair csti-
mate OF the cost can bc made. This viii
probably be ready some time next week
Mr. COmstOck is firm IN las belief that
the only way 10 build q canal Is by the
overland route.
