It is intended that, this waterway shall be of sufficient dimensions to. allow of the passage of the largest ocean steamers from Chicago to Defiance (Ohio), from -which point the Miami and Erie Canal will be widened up to Toledo. From Toledo to Buffalo the Lakes will be utilised, and from Buffalo the Erie Canal to New York will be. deepened. The execution of this plan would lessen the distance bv water between Chicago and New York by sio iniles.
