a voluntary association OF the japanese
for mutual protection. When any are
sick or in trouble they are looked after
by the association and general tax is
levied on their wages to MAINTAIN the
association.
This levy is generally dollar or two

five dollar levy made to meet some ur-

If the special commission to inspect and

level line at 1888, 472, 500. The company
estimates. shown to he on the low level
line, are 500 S93, 660.
The commission thinks the expense Of
the construction Of the canal will be ABOUT
twice the amount that would be required
to build q similar waterway in the United
States, owing to the adverse climatic con
ditions, ineffective manual labor and the
fact that the machinery cannot be used
again after the canal is finished.
