SEA LEVEL OR LOCK CANAL.

The most important question to be con-
sidered by the consulting engineers now
in session at Washington is whether the
Panama canal should be constructed at
sea level or provided with locks, as
at present planned. This is a very i'm
portant question, from both the financial
and commercial points of view. The
former engineer, Mr.. Wallace, after a
very careful examination of the route,
reached the conclusion that the water
way should be at sea level. He was Of
the opinion that this would not only be
of very much greater advantage to COM
merce, but it would make the canal
much more secure. 1t was understood
that some members of the commission
agreed with him. To build the canal
at sea level, however, would very ma
terially increase the cost and to add
from fifty million to one hundred million
dollars to the outlay for this enterprise is
a matter for serious consideration.
The question must of course be de-
cided by congress and the opinion of
the consulting engineers in regard to it
will have great weight. If they shall
decide in favor of sea level waterway
it is very probable that their judgment
will be accepted, Notwithstanding the
greater cost. The country wants the
best canal and is able and willing to
pay the price.

THE FIRE AND poLICE DnEMMA,

creation of Overlaps were known from
the start, and the amount Of money
that could be used for fire and police
purposes had been fixed before that
time. Five months have been allowed

precautions against the inevitable short
