B WASHINGTON. y. c., Feb. 2a.--The
board Of engineers III charge of river
and harbor improvement has disapproved
the project to construct an inland canal
from Norfolk TO Beaufort Inlet. n. O.,
The engineers which made the survey
approved the plan. which contemplated
a. cost of ten million dollars. But the
general hoard. IL: a report TO General
Arackenzie, chief of engineers Q the
army. says that the cost of the canal
would bo too great when the amount
of commerce involved and tlte compara- :,
tive. insignificance of the military ben
Ell, accrning from such work are taken
into account.
The report Of 33Brigadier-General Mac
konzie was made public to-day. Tho re-
port is very lengtlly, embracing several
hundred typewriter pages. 1t discusses
the plan of the canal in considerable
detail. hut 1t is stated that the engineers
appointed to make tho survey could not
locate the proposed route Of the canal
very definitely, owing to the smallness OF
p the annl OpflatlOns 11lituo lpt2 t1c iuA Po'S

The board was composed or Colonel
Peter e. Ilaines, Lieutenant Colonel
Charles j. Allon and Major James B.
Quinn Colonel Huines was made u
acknowledgement and Captain E9 Eve
tleth NYlrs.ow. in charge of the improve
lnents in tho vicinity Of Norfolk was
made Il member of the board I'm his
stead. 55
Ihc board located the routeafrom Nor
foil, south, Via Cooper Greek, Adams
Creek. TO Beaufort Inlet u total dis
tance Of 104.l miles.
Tho board estimates the cost or the
canal between tho two points named at
ten, million dollars. provlded5it It Is given
a ssixteen-foots channel. The cost or
maintenance is estimated at $1,000 annll-
ally, The estimate of first COST Includes
right of way, retaining walls, bridges
ana one tidal lock.
The board OF engineers reported tlat
the sn,hemc WAS perfectly practicable,
and that the cost was rot out Of pro-
portion to the benefits Of commercial
and military character which wore TO-
be conferred,
But the board o.{engineers IN charge !. f
3rlver{ and lar1pr improvements dld not
approve the scheme, owing to the dis,
parity between tho cost and the prospec
tiye benefits, and the chief Of engineers
agreed With them,
E&'rlle board, however, recommended that.
