Proposed Nuclear Canal Near Bogs in Washington A proposal to dig an intra- coastal waterway in Washington State 110 miles from a point near Olympia, the state capitol, to a point near Ilwaco at Long Beach and Grayland was reported. This was a half million dollar proposal by Army engineers with the digging to be by nuclear blast. To blast would have re- quired special permit as the country is now under a nuclear ban. Ilwaco area and Grayland area are both cranberry bog districts and if the proposal went through there were fears for the effect upon the Washington cranberry industry. A later report in the Ilwaco Tribune, weekly newspaper said the plan to use nuclear blast had been ruled out. A spokesman for the Seattle Office of the Army Engineer Corps was reported as saying "in view of the question- able construction cost advantage and the socio-economic impact of the side-effects of the nu- clear detonations, we cannot rec- ommend the nuclear excavation at this ; It was reported that even if other construction methods of the waterway seemed feasible and economically advisable it would be at least ten years be- fore plans could be drawn and funds appropriated for the canal to start Wisconsin Agricultural Water Users Organize A Water Re
