Canal Locks

Washington. Dec. e.-CooneI George w. Goethals,
the chairman and engineer in chief of the 18TH
milan Canal Commission, has informed the authori-
ties here Of his intention to come to Washington
in about a week or ten days. Probably the most
important matter which will come up for consid-
Grafton between Colonel Goethals and the admin
istration officials will be that of increasing the
proposed width OF the canal locks to 40 feet, so
as to be able to accommodate the development in
shpbuildng for many years to come. Several
months ago the question was informally considered
in Washington but, without reaching any conclu-
sion, the subject was referred to the commission
at the isthmus for report 1t is said that Colonel
Goethals will bring with him well defined views
the subject as result of conferences with his col
leagues. The report will be laid before Secretary
Taft on his return.
