74 ent of waterways was that $600,000 is insufficient to pay for the rights given the road at a rate of 45 cents a cubie yard for the dredging. New offers on the dredging, which may bring it down as low as 25 cents a cubic yard, have been made to Chicago city officials recently, it is reported. * * * EASING of the old Illinois-Michi- gan canal, which was abandoned in 1900 in favor of the Chicago sani- tary district canal, is being advocated. The theory is that the canal might be leased and filled in. It is claimed that some companies already are utilizing the canal frontage, which is public property. Two years ago voters turned down leasing approval of this canal. From 1848 to 1900 the canal had been a constant study. It provided a waterway from Lake Michigan to the Illinois river and served as a partial outlet for the sewage and drainage. The canal proved inadequate, however. The most recent proposal is to rent the canal property for at least 6 per cent per year of the valuation of the prop- erty, the lessee to pay the taxes. * % * ‘ CHEDULES of Great Lakes pas- senger carriers have been thrown MARINE REVIEW January, 1927 awry in the closing days of Decem- ber by heavy winds and slush ice in harbors. Some of the boats at the St. Joseph, Mich., harbor were delayed most seriously, as slush ice became pocketed there more severely than at some of the other harbors. The Goodrich Transit Co. is maintaining regular passenger schedules to Mus- kegon and on the Milwaukee division. On the Chicago, St. Joseph and Hol- land division delays have been more frequent. December package freight shipment on Great Lakes boats fell off as compared with December last year.
