U. S. ENGINEERS
SPEED STUDY OF
CANAL PROJECT
Ohio River-to-Lake Erie
Link SCrutinized

G.N.s) The Army Board Of
Engineers today sped considera-
ton Of the Ohio River-to-Lake
Erie canal project for submission
to Congress.
The canal, which would link the
Ohio River with the Great Lakes,
opening up a new channel for
waterway transportation, is con.
sidered one of the major features
of the vast program for con.
trolling floods in the Ohio River
Valley.
ROUTES STUDIED
Four possible routes for the
canal have been recommended by
the district engineer at Pittsburgh
after exhaustive study in the last
three years. These routes, which
are now under consideration by
the Board of Engineers in Wash
ington, are:
/. From Beaver on the Ohio
River to the vicinity of Ashta-
bula on Lake Erie, following
roughly route along the Beav.
er-Mahoning rivers to Wheeler
Creek.
2. From Pittsburgh via Frank.
lin to the vicinity of Conneaut
on Lake Erie.
WILL REPORT TO CONGRESS
8. Along the Sciota and San.
dusky rivers to the vicinity of
Sandusky.
4. From point a few miles
below Cincinnati via Dayton on
the Miami and Defiance to
Toledo.
Which one Of these routes will
be selected must, the Army en-
gineers stated, remain an official
secret pending final decision and
recommendation of the engineer
ing board to Congress.
