The Ship Canal Project

Representative Hatch Gives The Scheme a Notable Posh; , Last Thursday the Senate passed the joint rt so-u» ion for the appointmeat of a commission to make a preliminary survey and estimate the cost of a ship canal from the lower shore of Lake Michigan to the Wabash River. The resolution provides that the Secretary of War shall appoint a board of three officers of the corps of eng>ners of the army to select the most practicable route for a ship canal connect the lake with the head of navigafloe of the Wabash River, and make a preliminary survey, with plans, specifications and approximate cost of such <ns«l. This hoard shall act under the direction of the Secretary of War. The resolution appropriates $25,000 to carry out these provisions. The hoard is required to report what effect, if any, the proposed canal would have on the water level of the great lakes or any of them. This is an old project, which Congressman Hatch, the working member from this district, has revived, and which has been several times, of late years, discribed in this paper. Several surveys have been made for such a cinal. The first was ordered by Lewis Cass when he was Secretary of War, Under President Jackson, and in 1831 Mr. Stansberry, a United States engineer, made a report In 1875 another survey was made by Major Gillespie of the engineer corps. He showed that there is a fall of nearly seventy feet from Lake Michigan to the head waters of the Wabash River, and that the proposed waterway could be constructed at comparatviely small cost, owing to the physical condition of the country. It is claimed that such a canal would shorten the waterway from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico nearly 400 miles, incomparison with that of the great Illinois canals The canal it built, will probably follow the Kankakee river for about 8 or 9 miles, where it borders Jasper county and leaving the river at a point about north of Dunnville, pass through the northeast corner of this county.

About a City Charter.

The Town Board has ordered an ekqtion to determine the que lion of iocorpbnpin g Reosaelaer as a c ty, the election is to be held April 10. The census taken last week* by Manhal Dillon and his assistants show a population of 2 205. Some 30 .or 40 of these have moved to town too reoently to be legally counted for this purpose, but still there are fully 160 more people in the town than the law requires for a city government. If the proposition for a city carries, the town board will divide the town into three wards, and order an eh-i - tion foFcity officers. There wilLbe a Mayor, six Conn, oilmen, two fir m each ward, Cicfk Treasurer and Marshal. 4* * All are four year officers, and the salaries are fixed by the City Council. But of the six council men to lie elected now, if the vote carries, one from each ward must retire in two years so

as to permit one from each ward to be elected every second year. There will thus be an election eVery two years under a city charter, instead ot every year, as now; but, as above State, the terms of all the officers will he four yrare. The duties of the rn are to preside al the council meetings, and also to hold n mayor’s court to try all off-uders, but the council may appoint a justice of the p ac, to take the place of the mayor, in judicial matters, Besides the officers above named, all of whom are elected by the piop!e, there must be a Chief of the fire department, a Street Commissioner, a Civil Engineer, a City H allb Officer, and a City Attorney. These are all app tinted by the City Council. They hold office four years, r ut may be dismissed by the Council. The Street Commissioner may be dis* penaed with, and his duties devolved upon ihe Marshal. ‘ *

Some of the ail van r ages ( f a city government will be that the council will have power to enforce its ortTinances. Also to regula e railroads running through the town. All fines collecu d are turn-d into the city treasury. At-present they go to the state school fund.-* Elections will fie held bi-ennialiy, instead of annually”, as now. The city saloon license fee can be $250, now the Hurt is $l5O.
