PRESIDENT APPROVES
Making Locks Wide Enough to Ac-
commodate Ships Of Near Future.

| Washington, Jan. lG.-president Roose-
| Welt has approved the recommendation of
the Isthmlan Canal Commission, endorsed
| by Sec. Taft, increasing the width OF the
| locks of the canal from 100 10 ITO feet.
The President simply approves the rec
Iommendation for increasing the width in
the locks but makes no comments there
lon.
| The action CT the commission In recon-
mending the widening of the locks is
made ito meet requirements Of the navy
that can reasonably be expected in the
near future"
The general board of the navy in 4
memorandum to the secretary Of the
navy dated Oct. % last expressed the
opinion that the width of the locks as
fixed. namely. 100 feet, is insufficient for
probable ships of future construction, and
that sound policy would dictate an in
crease to 10 feet. The commission feels
that 1t should be guided by the wishes
of the nay.
In memorandum to Sec. Taft the
commission says the cost of all the locks
at no feet wide is estimated at S52.0sQ,-
OIL, while Glitch Of 10 feet VIII cost
81 SO, $50. "a difference to be d. small con-
sidcration assuming the necessity for the
increased width he as stated by the
navy"
In transmitting the Recommendation
and memorandum Of the commission tt
the President. Sec. Taft explains that
increasing the width to 10 feet will in.
crease the cost o. the canal s5,005.oN and
! will somewhat reoucc its capacity be
cause of more water and the time re.
quired to make the lockages. He adds
| This. of course. can be met so far as
| the water is concerned by providing {
dam at Alahuela. and thus increasing thu
supply to be held for discharge into the
Gatun lake in the dry season whom lock
ages will tend to reduce its level. Aftel
considering. it seems to ne wise q
widen the locks accordingly even 1T thu
risk of slightly reducing the capacity o
the canal SO far as the number OF steam
SHIPS to be rassed through, it in a day
lis concerned"
The locks are to be 1000 feet in length
