SHIP CANAL TO THE LAKES
Would Necessitate Transference of
Erie Canal.

NEW YORK, July 9O.-1ieut c. ".
Raymond, of the United States board Of
engineers on deep waterways, has writ
ten to superintendent of the maritime as
sociation, A. R. Smith, in connection with
transportation from the lakes to foreign
ports. He says in part:
eff a twenty-one-foot ship canal is con-
structed from the lakes to the sea, in ac-
cordance with the plans and estimates
of the board of engineers on deep water
ways, it undoubtedly will be necessary
for the state of New York to transfer
the Erie canal to the federal government
A ship canal cannot be constructed along
the route proposed by our board without
interfering with the existing Erie canal
The views of the board were required by
congress as to the comparative advant-
ages of two channels having depths of
twenty-one and thirty feet respectively.
The question whether it is desirable for
the United States TO construct any deep
waterways from the lakes to the Atlantic
tidewater was not submitted to the
board for consideration and the board
has not expressed a direct opinion there
on
