Dead line Sunaay Classified 1. at noon Saturdav: 10 a.m Monday for Monday: other aava 5:30 previous day Aqueduct To Help Southwest Suggested Dallas (U.PJ A Dallas man has suggested a gigantic Roman type aqueduct that would carry water 1,500 miles from the Great Lakes to the drought-stricken Southwest. Al Boerner, a Navy veteran with a background in electron ics, radar and engineering, said it would be like an ancient Ro man aqueduct. It would also serve as a freeway. Basically, the aqueduct would be equipped with four huge water tubes which could handle 36,000 acre-feet of water in 24 hours, and on the top would be an eight-lane highway. The water-tubes, when not in use, would be used as freight carriers. This would mean using large capsules, controlled by electronic relays. The drawback to such an op eration is financial, Boerner ex plained. He figures it would cost $500,000 a day to operate and about one-third of the national S33 billion national road pro gram. However, he said it could gross $2,000,000 a day. ' Boerner has been planning the project for some three years and has been working on a model to present to President Eisen hower. He added that water tafc en from Lake Michigan or Lake Superior through the waterduct would not be missed since they are on the rise. About three-fourths of the U.S. supply of linseed oil and linseed meals comes from Min nesota mills. Have You Heard About ... IP , SNIDER'S P. C. PLAN!
