SEA LEVEL BEST
ENGINEERS FAVOR IT FOR THE
PANAMA CANAL.
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
Report viii Be Made by Canal Com
mission-Lock Canal Would Be
cheaper, But Not So Satisfactory.


Washington board of consult
ing engineers of the Isthmian Canal
Commission has declared itself by a
large majority in favor of a sea-level
canal.
The conclusion was reached after
conferences since the beginning OF
September and trip TO the isthmus TO
enable the members to form better
idea of the physical difficulties.
The members of the board are men
of the greatest reputation in their line
of work. France. Germany and Hol-
land sent their most eminent special
lists at the request of this government.
At the beginning it was evident that
a majority of the members were in
favor of sea-level canal. Their point
of view was that even II it cost more
than n lock canal and would take
longer in the building, 1t would ulti.
mately be Of greater use, as 1t would
enable ships to make a much shorter
trip than If they We're obliged TO go
through three or four locks. The MI
nority wanted to see the canal built
in as short a time as possible and
with the least cost, declaring that a
few hours longer for the trip through
the isthmus made little or no differ
ence.
one of the members gave this eX-
PLANTATION for his way of voting: at
may be that several of us will not see
the sea-level canal finished in our life
time, as 1t will take considerably
longer than ten years. But, then, We
have the satisfaction to know that for
all the generations to follow we have
made the shortest and most practical
way of communication between the Pa
cific and Atlantic. and as long as we
had TO decide on question for all time
we do not think that few years more
or less makes very important diff
ference. That is the way our party
thought about 1t, and whatever may
be said in favor or against It, we have,
after the most careful study. given an
opinion as we saw our way to do It,"
