ment engineer commission has fixed the
probable cost Of construction of the canal
at Si33 600, 900, the members of the sub-com-
mittee still cling to the estimates of the en-
gineers of the canal company.
They believe that the canal company can
be paid for all they have expended in the
surveys. the construction of railways. the
improvement of Greytown harbor and other
expenditures, and that the canal can prob
ably be built for $75 ,000, 600 and that under
no conditions will the total cost exceed $780,
100000. In other words, the Subcommittee
or the controlling members of it, are dis
posed to utterly disregard the report of the
engineer commission and base their acton

the canal company. 1t is said that II n bill
