early in the new year by the.
House Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee, Representative 8. w.
Dempsey (R.) Of New York, chair

ment Of the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers and enlargement Of
the Erie and OSwego canals In
New York.
The measure, which viii
amplify authorizations already

Some have advocated 24foot
channel.
While deepening of the Great

unusually high level of the lakes,
periods Of low water are certain
to recur, Dempsey said.
