WIDTH Of THE CANAL LOCKS
ATTITUDE OF THE CANAL COM
MISSION ON THE SUBJECT.
Regarded as Question for Naval
MISUNDERSTANDING to
Build Gatun Dam.

The engineers of the Panama canal
commission are perfectly willing that
the locks should be widened to any ex-
tent that the navy thinks necessary.
We shall, in a measure leave it to the
navy to settle the question, thereby
making it a matter of naval eXpediency
as to how wide the locks shall be-"
That is the attitude the Panama canal
commission takes on the proposition,
which has been referred to the mem
bers for a widening of the locks of
the canal to no or 12O feet. as may
seem best, according to the statement
made by Col. Goethals, the chairman
Of the commission. Col. Goethals says
that. so far as is known at present, a
width of 100 feet for the locks will
accommodate mercantile shipping for
years to come, and that 100 feet is am
pie for all naval construction now
building or proposed. A naval vessel
that is ninety-eight feet beam allows
eight feet more than the latest bat
tleship proposed, and could get through
a 1OO-foot lock without trouble. The
less leeway boat has in the lock, Col.
Cocktails thinks. the safer it IS. both
to the boat and to the lock during
lockages. because the emptying and
filling cause swirls which if too great
AAtdy ASSoil AL SoIuS udlldSC. uS pdCo-
ton of increasing the width of the
locks is one that more properly be-
longs to the navy to determine. it is
suggested by him. and if the efficiency
of battleship that can use the 100
foot lock is materially less than one
requiring 40 feet. width there is no
question that the 11O-foot lock should
be adopted.
1t is pointed out that the questions in
volved in any widening of the locks are
increased cost, and the longer time re-
quired for filling, thereby decreasing the
capacity of the canal, and the effect on
the water supply for it. 1t is declared
that the commission Is ready to do what
ever the President and his naval advi
sers think best, as the work at present
is in such shape that the increase in
width can be made without any detriment
to the work, or undoing any which has
thus far been done.
The completion of the Gatun dam will
determine the time for completing the en-
tire canal. Work on the dam has already
been begun, but Investigations are still in
progress to determine the localities from
which suitable material can be obtained
for its construction. The time for COM
pleting the Culebra cut and the locks can
be accurately figured out, the only I'M
known factor being the time for complet-
ing the Gatun dam.
1t is the purpose to reduce the excava-
ton in the Culebra cut to limited
amount monthly, so assto bring about the
completion of all parts of the canal ap-
proximately at the same time.
