The engineers estimates of the cost
of constructing the proposed tunnel un-
der Northumberland Strait from the
mainland TO Prince Edward Island vary
from 100000 to $40,O00O0O. and are
therefore forbidding; but the plans
which call for tunneling to a depth of
$50 feet below the low water level are
more disconcerting than considerations
of cost. 1t would be found very diff
cult to conduct tunneling operations on
the pneumatic principle at that great
depth below the level of the sea.
