To Be FINISHED
IN FIVE YEARS
Mr.. Tawney Believes Panama
Canal Will be Completed
in This Time.
Regards II As Unfortunate That En-.
gineers Had Represented That an
Almost Impossible Engineer
ing Feat Confronted Them.

Washington.-Cha Tawney, OF
the house committee on appropria.
tons, and Representative Olcott, who
have recently returned from visit

day discussed the present conditions
as they found them. Mr.. Tawney is
favorably impressed with the prog.
ress being made in the canal work.
and told the president he thought at
the present rate the waterway would
be completed in five years. He said
he regarded 1t as unfortunate that the
engineering world had been repre-.
senting to the people an almost i'm.
possible engineering problem con-
fronting 1t. The principal conditions
now to be met, he said, were those of
sufficient railroad capacity to take
care of the dirt eXcavated and SAM
tation with the view to keeping the
place in good, healthful condition.
Mr.. Tawney also discussed with the
president questions affecting con.
gressional appropriations for canal
work, and 1t is likely some legisla.
ton bearing on the subject will be
recommended to congress as the re.
suit of the visit to the isthmus.
