At this writing as has been the case Tor

has the happy faculty Of sitting out the

TO RAISE LEVEL
Of LAKE ERIE
Value of Proposed Work to
Ports Can Hardly Be
Estimated

Washington, June 27.-After more than
10 years investigation. the international
waterways commission today, through the
President, recommended to Congress the
construction of a submerged dam, OF
Weir, in the Niagara river, to raise the
level of Lake Erie and its upper waters.
The commission stated the value of the
proposed work to Lake Erie ports could
hardly be estimated.
Several years ago the commission re-
ported against the advlsability of con-
strueting an ordinary dam across the
Niagara
Inc cost of the weir and consequent
works to avoid damage to property Is es-
timated at $3,500,0o0. The commission rec
commended its location at Gill Creek on
the American shore and Hog island on
the Canadian, just above Well and River.
The dam would raise the level of the
Niagara three feet for distance of one
and half miles.
The Niagara river at the Buffalo wa
terworks would be raised from .OS feet
to 10 foot; the level of Lake Erie from
oi loot to IL foot. The plan would raise
the main level of Lake st. Clair "a
root and that of Lake Huron 90 foot.
Inc Niagara river below the weir, and
Lake Ontario and the st. Lawrence river
would not be appreciably affected
The commission also reported that the
Weir would eliminate any injurious eff
fect upon the Lake Erie level of diver
sion of waters at Niagara Falls for water
power purposes.
The report pointed out that diversion
OF water to the Chicago drainage canal.
TO the Erie canal and for power plant
purposes at Niagara Falls had consid-
erably reduced the level of Lake Erie
