For a Sea-Level Canal.

+ The Engineering Committee Of the 18TH.
nlian Canal Commission has submitted a
report Recommending n plan for sea
level canal, with bottom width of
100 feet and. a minimum depth Of e5
feet ana with twin tidal locks at Mara
flores. ia whose dimensions shall DO j 900
feet long nnd 100 feet wide, at "a total
estimated cost OF $3.50, 100000. including;
an allowance for administration cngineer-5
Ing, sanitation and contingencies amount
lug to sos, 45o, 900. It had been previously
estimated that such II canal would cost
at the least $500 100000 1t may be even
nov that the cost will reach that figure.
But whether so or not. by all means the
Recommendation Of tho Engineering COM
mittcc should be adopted We are go
Ing To build this canal for MI time to
come, ana 1t should DO built right. II
we should build u canal with locks 1t
would not BIO long before the expensive
work would be torn awnysMld replaced
with sea acVel canal Let us build
right In the beginning The United States
government cannot afford to haYos any
thing short of tho best, and as between
a>tcanal with locks and n sea level canal
there is no comparison.
