ESTIMATED COST.
The commission then submits the follow
ing estimated cost OF a canal on the
Nicaragua route:

Total HOO
Engineering. police. sanitation
and general Contingencies S3,43,0
This estimate is FOR a canal suitable for
navigation by the largest ships now in
existence, and thus In accordance with the
terms of the bill pending In Congress III
provides for a double system OF locks. 80
that navigation can be maintained III one
system be closed for repairs or renewals.
If "A single lockage system Is provided the
cost will be reduced $l9.67s.Oo0. Narrowing
the bottom one-third will permit a fur
tier reduction OF SIC. 949. 900. This would
bring the estimated cost down TO Sl6S,
$1,000.
Concerning the Panama route. the COM
mission says It's natural attraction lies in
the combination of a very narrow isthmus
with "A low summit. The width of the 18TH
mus Is less than thirty-nVe miles, Wniie
the summit Is barely 300 feet above mean
