CHANGE IN CANAL PLANS.
Locks to Be of Larger Dimension.
Thdt First Proposed.

LOCKS TO be OF Larger DIMENSIONS
Thit First Proposed.
Locks for the Panama canal prob
ably will be built according to the
dimensions recommended by the ma
jority or the consulting board of en-
gineers which favored the construction
Of q sea level waterway instead Of the
smaller type as planned by the minor
tty OF the board. Under the plan of
the minority the locks would be 100
feet wide with disable lengths Of 1000
feet. The plans adopted by congress
provide for locks 95 feet wide with
disable lengths OF 900 feet. With this
exception 1t is said the minority plans
will be followed.
II a change is made In the size of
the locks the isthmian canal commits
sion takes the position hat 1t will be
acting within the discretion authorized
by congress. As ships are now being
built which would test the capacity Of
the 900-foot locks IL offered for con-
veyanoe through the canal, Chief En-
gineer Stevens is Of the opinion that
1t would be wise to increase the di-
sessions.
