The prophecy if freely made that even tually 1t will be necessary to place the canal at sea level, thereby adding to the total cost and bringing the future purpose up to an aggregate of approxi- mately $500. 900 000. This would make the final expenditure for the great wa terway reach $435.O0 ,0O0. The late Senator Morgan even went so far as to say that he would express no surprise if the aggregate cost should finally reach $l ,000, ,OO0. 900.
