In the report of the deep water ways
commission, now Before congress- for
making canals between the lakes and
the Atlantic, two routes are proposed
-one between Lakes Erie and Ontario
and the other from Lake Ontario to the
Hudson river. The estimated cost of a
twenty-one foot waterway is given at
$206, 1858, GOO; and of a thirty-foot water
way at $3l7, 2S4,5O0 An additional esti-
mate is made for deepening the har-
bors at Chicago and Duluth. making the
total aggregate for the thirty-foot chan
mel of 1926, $4,000. The cost of annual
maintenance Of the twenty-one-foot wa
terway is given at 81, 343, 478, and of the
thirty-foot waterway 50, 930, 1903. This
would give more employment to men
and capital than the cost of the war in
the Philippines.
