ing For 01,200,000
Appropriation
The Rotary Club of Harrisburg
placed in the bands of every
imber of the Legislature copy
a letter issued by Wm. M. Robi
i, secretary, at the request of Eli
Ilcrshey, the president, urging
it action be taken at this session
the deepening of the Susque
nna river and its tributaries. A
vtgable river from the bay to
w York State is what the club is
ting and the advantages of the
provement are set forth in the
ter, which is as follows:
'As a member of the State I.egis
ire of Pennsylvania, we believe
u are Interested in any project
ilch will benefit our state, and the
flltion Of six hundred miles of
ngable wat-ways to the trans
lation system 01 Pennsylvania
1 not only interest your attention
t will have your approval and
iport.
'The Susquehanna river and its
inches should be made navigable
m the Chesapeake Bay to Bing
mpton, N. Y.; the West Branch,
far as Clearfield; the Juniata
er, to Hollidaysburg; and the
nestoga, to Lancaster. Over half
the total area of the state is fed
the Susquehanna river. It passes
ough twenty-six counties having
lopulation of 2,200,000, including
sat manufacturing and agricul
•al districts and the anthracite
il regions; it penetrates the soft
il and the oil districts; lumber,
ne quarries, brick kilns, iron and
el works, and industries of all
ids and descriptions are found on
th banks of the river and its
inches. The benefits developed
making it navigable cannot be
lasured In dollars and cents. Tho
wer developed from it in conncc
n with making it navigable will
y the carrying charges of the
nds and will assist materially, if
t completely, in paying oft the
it of the entire development.
A series of dams of sufficient
Ight, together with a dredging
annel, where necessary, in the
'er bed (not on the bank) is the
in suggested, with wharves, docks,
•ning-liasins and harbors. Use the
er! The railroads are doing all
sy can. ) Railroad freights are
ing higher and higher as the cost,
operation and maintenance in
sases. We must use the rivers in
ler to cheapen transportation and
crease the high cost of living; we
Ist have more and cheaper means
transportation—waterways are
s answer.
"A bill should be passed at this
ision creating a Pennsylvania
ite Barge Canal Commission, with
Chief engineer and a corps of as
tants, to make a complete survey
d study of the Susquehanna river
d its tributaries; work out the
ins to make it navigable, with de
ils of all necessary structures, to
ther with statistics to justify the
cessary expenditures, with state
snt of prospective earnings, coni
ste report to be made to the next
gislature.
"An appropriation of $1,200,000,
verlng a period of two years,
ould be available for this survey."
