OPPOSE DEEPWATER
ENGINEERS MAY DELAY THEIR
REPORT EXPECTED EARLY
IN DECEMBER.
MAY ASK FOR NINE FEET
Strong Fight to Be Made at the Next
Session for s31,ooo,ooo Project
New Committee Is
Favorable.

Washington, D. Cit is not GER
tain that the army engineers will be
ready in December to transmit to
congress their report on the eight or
nine-foot channel between st. Louis
and Chicago, recommended by them
in their report on the proposed lakes
to-the-gulf waterway. While opposing
the 14-foot depth which the people Of
the Mississippi valley have been de-
handing, the engineers expressed the
belief that the present eight-foot
project on the Mississippi between st.
Louis and Cairo should be completed,
and said that an eight or nine-foot
channel for the upper stretch of the
project is the least that should be
provided to meet the needs of the
present and prospective commerce.
To Make Fight.
The engineers have found that much
work must be done. The upper stretch
was the first portion of the proposed
deep waterway to be surveyed at the
14-foot depth, but no figures are avail
able for a more shallow channel. I'm
less this additional report is forth
coming promptly, further criticism I'M
d%oubtedly will be heard. Members Of
congress who are strong supporters
of the deep waterway indicated very
plainly before leaving Washington for
the summer that they will make a real
fight for substantial recognition next
winter. They talked as if they meant
business. One or two intimated that
a rough-house time may be expected
by the powers that be in congress il
chance or something more substantial
should put them against the big prof.
ect. Drastic action of this character
will be hardly necessary If, as gen
orally supposed, the new house COM
mittee is favorable to deep water for
the Mississippi.
If it should happen that the addi-
tional report for the lesser channel
between St. Louis and Chicago is de-
layed until late in the session, action
might easily be taken without it, on
the theory that it is conceded that a
14-foot channel for that stretch is
feasible and that there can be no
question as to the feasibility of an
eight or nine-foot depth. The esti-
mated cost of a 14-foot depth between
those points is $31, 600, 900.
