THE PROPOSED INLAND
CANAL.
CANAL

Representative Broussard is en-
deavoring to provide Louisiana and
Texas with an inland ship canal
from Donaldsonville to the Rio
Grande, along the route proposed in
1873. He has prepared and intro
iuced bill Ito provide that an adj
ditional survey shall be made for an
inland route, surveyed under the
act of congress of March 5. 1873,
along the margin IF the gulf OF
Mexico from D"nalisonville, La. !.
~ Ri. Grande, Tex. by cuts ano
canals as means of military and
naval defense and for CONNIE rciaI
purposes"
The bill will carry an approPr'a
ZION If $4,000 for such survey.
Explaining the bill, Mr.. Brous
sarh said:
"rhe old survey was not com
pleted. because of insufficient funds,
bu: it took in the lakes, canals, bay
Gus, ETC., of the interior, between
the two points named. Two routes
were suggested part of the way,
with a lock at the Thread, At La
tourche and another at Rio GrAnde.
1t utilized the following streams.
lakes and bayous.
"Bayou Lafourct e., Attakapas

reche. Murphy's canal, Cote
Blanche bay, Vermilion bay, White
lake, Grand lake, canals connecting
Mermenteau, Calcasieu Sabine and
Natchez rivers at Galveston harbor,
and Indianola hart:or to Rio
Grande river.
"My bill adopts that route par.
.ically, but leaves it discretionary
with the secretary of war to make
cuts of convenient dimensions fol
the purposes of the bill. The
length of the canal as proposed i:

1873 was SO. o39,o 900. Most of the
dredging will be in marshy land
and, except in Texas, there will b.

Some additional excavations will b

of the original estimates. The bill
will be referred to the committee o,

pear before them requesting favor
