STAGE IN OHIO
Waterways Journal Says 6.Foot
Stage Viii DO
CITES MANY MISTAKES
MADE BY GOVERNMENT IN PAST
IMPRovEMENT.-GoEs INTO
DETAILS or LOCKS AND
DAMS.
SAYS the Waterways Journal:


After lapse of thirty years, 1t was
on the third of March, 1875, that Con
gress made the first appropriation to-
ward providing the Ohio river with
continuous eft. channel by means OF
locks and dams, and before any tangi-
Bile results have been accomplished,
Congress considered 1t advisable to
change the plan Of canalization, and
instead Of a GIFT to provide a oft
channel, al least for % miles of its
length. Tie river and harbor act of
March 8, 1905, contains the following
provision for eft. channel:
Improving OHIO river in the state
Of Pennsylvania: BY the completion
of locks and dams numbered two,
three, four and five, and the moditi-
cation of said locks and dams and OF
lock and dam numbered six, so as to
secure a stage OF nine feet in the
pools belonging thereto.
Whether or not this was a com
mendable step Is a matter which timc
alone can decide: bur from "a business
point of yiew--that is, considering the
present state of the works c3nstrue
ing to provide for a GIFT navigation
and the interests specially benefited
by the incrcased depshin which tht
country at large Is concerned it ma
the earmarks Of rashn sss. This con
clusion n strengthened ~ the folloH
ing provision contained in the samt
act:
"The secretary Of war Is hereh!
authorized and directed 10 appoint |
board of engineers To examine th'
Ohio river, and repors at the earlies
da u by which thorough exaRinatici
can he made, the necessary data wit
reference to the canalization Or tn
river, and the approximate location
and number Of locks and dams In sucl
river. with view both 10 depth @
six feet and nine feet. and in said re
port shall include the probable cos
OF maintenance, and the present an
prospective, could b. provided fo
with stream as well as down stream
having regard TO both local an
through traffic, They shall also RI
port whether, in their opinion sue
improvement should be made. an
whether other plans of improvemen
could be devised under which th
probable demands for traffic, presen
and prospective could be provided fo
without additional locks and dams, G
with less number than is describe
in surveys heretofore made, givin
general details relating TO all of sal
plans and the approximate cost {
completion thereof.
This shows beyond question thu
Congress had not the necessar
information for intelligent actio
in the matter. Undoubtedly Co
gress Endorsement of the oft char
mel for the % miles of river With
Pennsylvania was based on the repol
dated August 10, 1903, of board c
engineers, In which Ii is stated the
to meet the evident demands ths
will be made by the MANUFACTURER
plants on the Ohio river within Il
Pittsburg district, that a depth of
It, could be provided from Davis
land to Lock No 7. The report COZ
tains also the following.
