It is estimated that construction of the submerged weirs will take about two years, after which an additional two feet of water will be available in the harbour at Montreal, and a minimum of 30 feet of water at all periods of the year will be obtained. The ultimate object, it is stated, is to provide 35 feet of water in the , port, and the construction work will bo undertaken with this in view. The remedial works are expected to overcome the decreasing water levels of the St. Lawrence River at Montreal, which have been the subject of considerable comment in recent years, and which have been attributed by some authorities to the diversion of water from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River through the Chicago drainage canal.
