more the rate must necessarily be
much higher than as though the plant

The Essential Proposition

For many years 1T has been realized
that there We're great possibilities in
deepening existing Waterways. and
lashionlng new ones. so that a larger
volume of traffic in larger crafts
might be moved to and from very
many of the ports upon these inland
seas which we know as Lake superior
Lake Michigan, Lake Erie. Lake
Huron and Lake Ontario. Due to I'M
proVpmentS of Hntural conditions, car
RED on during d long period OF Years,
, the traffic on those lakes as fai. cast
as Buffalo has been considerable and
has been growing. The particular
products which moved east ward were
grain ana flour, iron. wool and hides.
In lesser volume other commodities
and manufactured products mrved to
| Buffalo to be there transferred and
shipped to destination by rail often
times this destination involved Il rail
haul To some Atlantic port, where the
commodity was shipped to some for
eiGn country by vessel. The move
mcnt Of commodities from the cast to
these western lake ports also Involved
rail shipment either from some AT
lantic port or from some inland rail
point to Buffalo, transfer and boat
shipment to some Lake port and often
times further rail shipment from
that lake port TO destination
The falls of Niagara for many
years intcrpoSed Very definite bar to
further vessel progress east of Buffa-
10. Some years ago canal between
the eastern end of Lake Erie and the
Western end of Lake Ontario was
fashioned, and was, and is, known as
the Welland Canal. which goes out
around the Niagara River and Niaga-
ra Falls, and furnishes a waterway
by which boats OF not over II feet
draft may reach Montreal Besides
the Welland Canal, in order to reach
Montreal. other lesser canals and locks
had to be fashioned. but the existing
waterway is disable for boats of the
above draft during the entire time
that the lakes and the st. Lawrence
River are open to navigation The
condition thus created resulted in an
immense volume of traffic moving by
boat from the lake ports and contigu-
Gus territory to Montreal. and the
transfer at Montreal to going
ships for those commodities which
