North-South Europe Water Link Revived in Talks Paris (UJ!) The long talked about project to build a water link between northern and southern Europe has been re vived. The French government has disclosed it is studying plans and costs of a canal joining the Rhone and Rhine rivers. Such a canal would provide a 1,300-mile-long inland waterway traversing the western continent from the North Sea, near Ham burg, to the Mediterranean, near Marseilles. The canal would Join the Rhine and Rhone in Switzerland, where both rivers start. The Rhine flows northward between France, Germany and through the Netherlands. The Rhone flows southward through south ern France. Construction of such a link, an international undertaking, has modern precedent in the recent agreement among France, Italy and Switzerland to build the longest vehicular tunnel in the world through the base of Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak. To Use Lakes The envisaged Rhone - Rhine link would make use of Swisr lakes lying between the two rivers, French authorities said. "Our aim is to link togethei the Franco-Swiss Leman Lake through which the Rhone river , flows to such Swiss lakes as Neuchatel, Bienne, the small Aare river and finally the Rhine river near Basle in Switzerland,' a spokesman of the French government-owned Compagnie Na tionale du Rhone said. He said the undertaking would be between 90 and 120 miles long, linking the 700-mile-long Rhine river with the 500-mile-long Rhone. Revenue Bonds Gain In City Importance Chicago (U.R) Revenue bonds are becoming more important in financing needed city improve ments, a survey shows. The Municipal Finance Offi cers association said that in 1951 revenue bonds accounted for about 20 per cent of all municipal bond sales. Such sales totaled nearly $3,300,000,000. "The trend toward revenue bonds is apt to continue since a number of states took legislative action to extend authority to use revenue bonds for purposes not previously sanctioned," the as sociation said. "Use of revenue bonds for sew age plants and facilities was au thorized in Florida, Illinois, Kan sas and Pennsylvania." Such bonds also may be issued for airports in Indiana, auditor iums in South Dakota, toll bridges in Illinois and Tennessee and for construction of industrial plants leased to manufacturers in Alabama, Mississippi, Ken tucky and Tennessee, the associa tion said.

The spokesman recalled that the Rhine river flows through such highly industrialized areas as German - Switzerland; Lor raine, in France; the Ruhr in Germany and the Rhine delta, in the Netherlands. Rivers Connected "One must not disregard the fact that the Rhine is connected with such important rivers as the Moselle in France and Ger many," he said.

"Part of the Rhone river has already been harnessed for power and navigation with such mighty dams as that of Genissiat, which backs an artificial lake of 53,000,000 cubic meters," he said, explaining that the Mar shall counterpart funds contrib uted 2,395,000 francs ($65,711, 000) to the project.
