Waterway Funds Sought NEW ORLEANS (UPI) The Army Corps of Engineers has found little quarrel with proposals to widen and deepen the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, a protected shipping link between Florida and the Mexican border. The problem is who will pay for it. Congress in 1962 authorized expansion of the channel, which in most areas is 12- feet-deep and 125-feet-wide, to allow larger barges and tows to operate in the waterway and to increase safety. But the plan was never completed because local governments along the banks had to pay for rights-ofway, relocating buildings, pipelines and other structures, and nearly half the cost of new bridges.

of the major problems has been the inability of the local people along the way to provide the rights-of-way," said Bruce Sossman, a spokesman for the Corps. "That's because it has more of a national benefit than a local or regional benefit." "We get some benefit," said Louis J. Schober, director of public works for Terrebonne Parish, La. "But what we're saying is that about 90 per cent of the barge traffic is through traffic, and that causes problems for our area." Schober said his parish has numerous draw bridges crossing the canal. Heavy waterway traffic seems to coincide with rush hour traffic, he said, resulting in lines when barges move through town and force the bridges 13 to be raised.

Congress has authorized a restudy of enlarging the canal and other improvements, and the Corps this month completed a series of hearings on the issue. Most witnesses at the hearings favored widening and deepening the channel, but many local government officials said their governments would refuse to participate if they have to provide much funding. "It's just too much money," Schober said. "It's just too much bread when you get right down to it. Local government just can't afford these Barge owners claim they will save money because they can use larger barges and tows in an enlarged channel.
