DespIaines rivers in Illinois, with a
view TO the extension of navigation
from the Illinois river to Lake Michi-
gan at Chicago, and to report the cost
of d channel ten. twelve and fifteen feet
deep and estimates for a proper con-
nectinn at LOckpOTt with the sanitary
and ship canal constructed by the san
itary district of Chicago. The cOnclu-
siOns of the board are as follows:
First-That the existing project for
the Improvement of the lower Illinois
river, if extended TO Lake Michigan by
the eight foot project along the upper
Illinois and Despiaines rivers, on which
the board submits estimates, is ample
for all existing river navigation in the
Mississippi valley or any Improvement
thereof authorized by congress.
SeC0nd-That any extension Of lake
navigation along the Desplaines and
Illinois rivers viii require a navigable
waterway not less than fourteen feet
deep.
Third-The cost Of such a channel is
not likely to fall short of $50, 900 600.
FoUrth-That a waterway for lake
vessels extending only To the mouth of
the Illinois river will not develop COM
merce,- that viii justify such an expen-
and that this Improvement by
itself is not advisable. The board, there
fore. recommends that no further sur
veys Of the Desplaines and Illinois riv-
erS be made unless in connection with
a project to be authorized by congress
which shall include provision for a cor
responding depth OF water in the Mis-
sissippi below the mouth Of the Hi
nois.

absolutely essential. Let US be frank
