GOVERNOR TO RULE
PANAMA STRIP
Admiral Walker Explains
Plan for Control.
SEA LEVEL CANAL UNLIKELY
FavoIs Work by Contract-Woulo
Have No Compulsory Proposition.
Committee Hearing.

Consideration OF legislation which may
be required for the Government Of the
canal zone was resumed today by the
House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce.
After Representative Harrison, OF
New York. had briefly explained the
provisions of his bill on the subject. Ad-
miral Walker continued his testimony
Among other things, he explained that
when the first canal commission esti-
mated the cost Of the canal. II did not
take into consideration the cost Of gov
ernment on the strip. Nothing at thSt
time in regard 10 this matter could
have been foretold.
He said it was the intention of the
commission 10 maintain an Office IN
Washington and one Of the isthmus, but
that there will be no regular meeting
place One of the commissioners viii
be designated the governor Of the 18th
mus. and win be there all the time.
Admiral Walker expressed the opinion
that a lock canal viii do all the work
and that a sea level canal viii never be
built. 1t would take twenty years TO
build a sea level canal. and it would
cost from $3.50 00O, 600 to $500 00), 600 against
S14O, 00G. 600 for the lock canal.
According 10 Admiral Walker, the
com mission prefers that the work shall
DE done BY contract. He opposed. how
Ever. the proposition to make contract
work compulsory, because he feared that
contractors might run up the price.
