Washington, Dee. 12.—The merits of the project for connecting the Missis- sippi river and the great lakes by way of the Chicago sanitary canal was con- sidered at a special meeting of the river and harbor committee, hela in the private lobby of the house of repre- sentatives last night. The main pur- pose of the meeting was to hear from a number of Chicago gentlemen-—mem- bers of the Illinois Valley association who have been identified with the san- ftary canal project, including Lyman E. Cooley, the eminent engineer; Col. Isaac Taylor, of Peoria; Frank Wenter, of the board of trustees of the sanitary canal, and Henry Mayo, of Ottawa, Ills. The Merchants’ Exchange of St Louis was represented by H. R. Whit- more. Senators Cullom and Mason, of Illinois, and the entire Illinois delega- tion in the presentatives were also present and some Of the members making addresses after the technical branch the subject had b Col.

C. Cooley set forth the engi- neering features of the project He said the waterway not only would serve for navigation, but also would develop horse power worth $20,000,000 annual- ly. He maintained that a waterway connecting Chicago and St. Louis would be justified even without the Mississippi river, owing to the enor- mous commercial development it would bring about. He spoke also of the ul- timate development of extensive navi- gation, chiefly by barges, between the lakes and the Gulf of Mexico Mr. Mayo, of Ottawa, Ills., addressed himself to meeting the statement, which he said, had been frequently made, that the movement for a great waterway was an afterthought of the sanitary canal project, with a view to unloading it on the government. He said that the state always had kept in mind the construction of such a great waterway, the sanitary canal was distinct provision made to have it conform to the general system which the state desires to carry out in the future. Chicago did not then or now seek to unload anything On the contrary, the state imposed conditions on Chicago, adding ex- pense of $10,000 ins for fut out, Mr of the the que people and when projected was an at pl carried 000, in order night be ure Wente sanitary of trustees when sewage, but tion, and the people had in sented to taxation for the tion of the comme Senator favor of th purpose to comm penditure of only to ses which woul action by cor a boy the n of this project, s be nsidered ar drainage pre : ator said, he » that it Illinois also he Evans For United States Senator.
