CANAL COST, 100000, 600
CHANGED CONDITIONS CAUSE IN.
CREASE OF ESTIMATE.
Part Will Be Repaid by Panama Gov
ernment-Reasons for Raising of
the Figures.

shington.-Because Of changed
conditions from those existing in
1906. when the minority of the
board of consulting engineers of the
Panama canal submitted its report,
it is now admitted in responsible quar-
ters that the estimate made by that
report for building the canal was far
too low and that the cost may approx
innate $20O,OOO.O00.
This includes various incidental
items, such as administration, santa
ton and improvements aggregating
several millions of dollars in Panama
and Colon, which, however will be re-
funded by the Panama government;
the expenses of the zone government,
and various expenses incidental to the
relocation and acquisition of the Pan
anna railroad The estimate of the
board in 1905 was that the cost of
the canal would be $1S9, ,765, 200, but
this estimate did not include expenses
on account of interest during construc-
ton, sanitation and zone government.
Last spring the present commission
made some general estimates of the
probable cost of the work which re-
suited in placing it anywhere between
S210,000,000 and $250,000O00 but the
more conservative members believed
the lower figure would prove ultimate
ly correct. Since that time some of
the commissioners have found that a
considerable saving can be made from
the lower estimate which warrants
them in placing the estimated cost
at nearer $200,000000 than a higher
figure. Various reasons are assigned
Ior the increased cost, including wider
and longer locks than those proposed
by the board of engineers, a greater
quantity of excavation than that esti-
mated by the board, an increase in
unit prices and higher prices for L.
Dor than those thought adequate by
the board. That board estimated the
locks would cost less than S4O,OOO,0OO,
while the present commission thinks
it will be between $52,000,000 and $780,,
100000 with a still greater increase
of ten per cent. if the locks are fur
ther widened as proposed by the navy
department,

The attempt of the Methodist
church to make 81 900 the minimum
salary which any Of its ministers
shall receive may be followed by sim
liar action on the part of the Congre-
gationalists. The Rev. DR.. George A.
Gordon of Boston, in commenting on
the matter recently, called attention to
something which is frequently forgot
ten, namely, that conditions of life
have changed, until now, instead of
churches somewhere nearly equal in
financial resources, there are some
very rich and powerful churches, and
some very poor and weak; and what
is needed is a general sustentation
fund which shall put the poorer
churches more nearly on part with
the richer ones. DR.. Gordon says,
probably with justice, that it is fast
becoming an impossibility to get self
respecting young men, even among
those who follow an ideal, to work for
such small salaries as many churches
pay, and therefore the churches suffer
from the lack of the kind of preachers
most needed.
