The commission appointed by Gov.

meets the Hennepin canal with Lake
Michigan. has a proposition to make to
the legislature which. IL accepted. will
save the canal from total abandonment
As given out yesterday by Commission
er w. l. Sackett. at Chicago. the plan
is to sell the part Of the canal between
Joliet and Chicago and conserve for

deep waterway athat part tbetween
Joliet and La Sale
Commissioner Sackett declares the
canal can not be closed completely
without subjecting the state to innum-
cradle damage suits. and that IL IL

20 settle up the estate. He therefore
suggests the retention Of only that part
Of the channel west Of Joliet intended
to be part of the drainage canal water
way as provided for by the last legis-
lature.
Cost of Maintenance.
Mr.. Sackett says $4,000 a year
ought To be sufficient to conserve that
section of the canal and Illinois river
until the waterway is opened.
When Gov. Deneen is able to take
up this natter says Commissioner
Sackett. "the canal commissioners viii
recommend such legislation at tn.
present session as viii permit of the
and sale of that part of
the old Illinois and Michigan canal
from the north limits OF Joliet. as soon
as the lock connection at Joliet is
made with the more modern sanitary
channel. as provided by the last leg;s-
azure.
THE proposition of the sale of this
part Of the canal must be submitted
first To the people for approval at a
general election. IL the sale can be
accomplished. the property under the
hammer is easily worth half a million
dollars. Placed on the market. affvan
tageously. II would bring s75O.000 to

The abandonment of this part of
the canal also means 10 eliminate ex-
pcnses of operation. now aggregating
$4,000 "A year. a big item in future

part Of the canal westward from Joliet
