BELMONT THE NAN
Finally, in 1904 Mr.. Flanagan
came TO the conclusion that. fnan-
cially and temperamentally, August
Belmont was just he man he want
ed, and he brought the matter to
his attention in December of that
year; but 1t was not until twelve
months later that Mr.. Belmont
agreed to take hold OF it. From
that time on, however, the progress
was rapid. The isthmus was sur
veyed from shore to shore, borings
were made TO ascertain the character
OF the material to be excayated,
estimates OF the cost OF construc-
ton, operation and maintenance
were prepared by William Barclay
Parsons, +. l.. Corthcll and other
eminent engineers, the route OF the
canal was determined upon. and sta
tstics regarding the amount OF
traffic annually passing around the
Cape were collected. The plans
drawn By Mr. Parsons were finally
submitted to and approved by the
joint board OF Railroad and Harbor
and Land Commissioners OF Massa-
chuSetts, the contract has been
awarded, the necessary securities,
bonds and foriets have been de-
posted with the State and County
Treasurers. and the actual work OF
digging will begin almost immedi-
ately.
The canal will be twelve miles
long and will extend from Buzzard's
Bay, at Bourne to Cape Cod Bay,
at a point near the town OF Sand
wich. 1t will be 100 feet wide at
the bottom and 200 feet on the sur
face 1T the narrowest portion, 100
feet 1T the bottom and 32o feet on
the surface at the widest part and
will have a depth OF IS feet at low
water. 1t will cost SIa,oooooo to
build, and, it is estimated, will re-
quire S2oo,ooo per year for opera
tion and maintenance.
