At present the Ohio valley gets water
rates on coal, but must pay rail- rates
on ore. In like manner ports on the
lake get water rates on ore and are
paving rail rates on coal. Under the
inland waterways system the great
lakes would have several thru water
way outlets to the sen with a PROPOSE
ton pending for an additional one via
the ST. Lawrence river. This inland
waterway system would give all points
along its channels an opportunity to
make thru shipments by water the
same as az rail- to all points on the
seahoard as well as elsewhere and for
foreign shipments II would be the only
means OF an all water haul.
1t is estimated that II will require
one year or more for such n complete
field survey as is necessary for esu-
mates on which to advertise for bids
and that 1t will then require from four
to FIVE years for construction. The
canalization of the Ohio river requires
SO dams and locks. About three-fourths
of them have been completed and the
present movement contemplates pass
ing tho Improvement Of the Ohio river
to completion by the time that the
deep waterway Is constructed from
that river to the great lakes.
