What reading level is American Inland Waterways Their Relation to Railway Transportation And to the N book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But Mr. Leighton shows us how the new national forest might be made to pay for the whole transaction over and over again, through the most stupendous development of water-power ever contemplated, perhaps, in one project. By a partial survey of the proposed national forest, he has laid out reservoirs with capacity to hold back the flood- waters of thousands of miles of streams, by dams creating power which, if sold at ordinary commercial rates, would create a sinking fund ample in amount to reli...eve the people, not only of all the burdens of sustaining the forest itself, but to build every com- mercial waterway for which there is any expressed need in the nation.
This is a very startling statement; but it is based on data seemingly incontrovertible. Let us dismiss the idea of forestry, and look at the matter from the angle of flood prevention and benefits to navigation. And first, let us consider these things as related to the Ohio River, a stream which, judged by the amount of com- merce carried, is the most important river in the United States.
