ROAD development
MUST FIT CONDITIONS
fBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Highway devel-
opment must depend on a more criti-
cal economic analysis than in the past
and highway transport officials must
prepare their cases, w. K. HIATT, di-
rector of the advisory board on high
way research of Washington, D. c.,
told delegates of the National Good
Roads congress in session here today.
The proportion of the national
wealth available for the purposes OF
transportation is limited" he said
This proportion must be distributed
among the various agencies, railroads,
highways, etc. Inasmuch as the money
spent on one agency is not available
for another, it is clear that highway
transport is intimately bound up with
transportation in general.
THAT part of the national wealth de-
voted TO highways should represent
capital invested, earning dividends
and not capital consumed. In other
words, the economic balance between
, capital cost and operating expenses
should be maintained. The highway
should be designed as an engineer de
signs anything else to fit conditions. ;"

BOOST ALL-ChNADIAN
WATERWAY PROJECT
AShLTERNATIVE PLAN

OTTAWA, Jar. 19-While the pro-
ject to provide a great international
channel for ocean-going ships by i'm
proving the ST. Lawrence river to the
Great Lakes is being studied by the
governments of the United States and
Canada proponents of an alternative
plan, the proposed Ottawa and Georgia
Bay canal, are seeking to enlist sup
port for their all-Canadian waterway.
Advantages claimed for this route
over the St. Lawrence ship channel
includes its position entirely within
Canadian territory; its immunity from
the storm hazards of the Lakes, and
the saving it offers in mileage.
According to reports of Canadian
government engineers who have made
an exhaustive study of the project, the
Ottawa and Georgia Bay canal scheme
is practicable. AS surveyed, the canal
would follow the st. Lawrence from
Montreal to the junction of the Ottawa
and Lake Nipissing and the French
river would provide outlet from the
| Ottawa river to Lake Huron.
| 44o Miles Long
The length of the canal would be
! 440 miles, with a total lockage of 75S
! feet. the number of locks being q
| with lifts ranging from five to so feet
| The size of the locks would be uni
| formly $50 feet in length, IS feet clear
! width and % feet depth. twenty-five
| would be the minimum depth on the
/ entire length of the waterway. This
waterway would consist of % miles
/ of canal proper, Sc miles of improved
river navigation, and 346 miles oil
| river and lake, varying in width from
| 800 feet to half mile.
, AS in the case of proposed st. Law
rence-Great Lakes works, power de
velopment is planned. Government
engineers have estimated that on the
| Ottawa and French rivers it will be
| possible to develop one million horse
power. The noted Chaudiere falls al
! Ottawa, already the center of large in
/ dustrial operations, would see its ca
pacity doubled
Under the Ottawa and Georgian bay
| scheme vessels of 20 feet draft, OF
| $4,000 tons displacement would be
! able to ply between Montreal anC
/ Lake Superior ports. Proponents Of
| the plan argue that this would make
for increased inter-provincial trade, as
