an ultimate Improvement The fact that
there is little commerce on the river. the
commission attributes ''entirelyt to the

be expected until the river is put in

City, the report says, would demonstrate
THAT commerce would spring up and in
addition millions would be added to the
valley by preventing destruction coussd

mates that this result could be completed
for 100000 to $3,500,0G0, and recommends
