GIGANTIC COST OF
PANAMA CANAL
EXPERT SAYS THAT THE TO-
tai COST WILL BE
$21o,00oOoo.
Fifty Per Cent. More Than Original
Estimate-Exclusive OF $50,00o,-
600 Paid for Concessions.

The completed Panama canal will
cost at least S210,000,000 exclusive OF
the 5000, 900 paid to the concession
holders, according to estimates made
by Halbert p Gillette, editor of En-
gineering Contracting This is so per
cent more than the original estimate
$40, 1000, OOO-exclusiv of rhe pur-
chase prices. His figures are bas
on the report OF the Isthmian canal
commission for the iscai year ending
June 30.
The estimated cost of a sea level
canal was S247, 100000.
With the excavation only one
third done, with dams and locks only
just begun" says Mr.. Gillette, "the
work has cost $4,000, 900, leaving but
a meagre s55,OOO,OOO with which to
complete the work within the amount
that fhe American people lad expect
ed to pay. The locks and dams alone
will cost that $55,O0OO 900. The remain
ing 74,OOo,0OO yards OF excavation
will cost $59,OOO,OOO at the very least
In all probability the cost OF exca
walton Will continue to increase
Who is Responsible?
This, in brief, is the situation
Who is responsible for it, and how
can further gross waste OF public
funds be prevented? When the origi-
nal board of consulting engineers
made its estimate OF cost undoubted
~ some error occurred, but the gil
gantic blunder was made wlen The
government abandoned the idea o.
doing the work by contract and un
dertook TO do it by his own forces.
Each of the chief engineers sue.
cessfully put in charge of the cana
erceived, as he thought, chance to
win eternal fame by acting not only
as chief engineer. but as industria
captain OF a great army OF men The
result is precisely what every unbias
cd engineer acquainted with condi-
tons has expected. Not one OF the
eminent chief engineers OF the Pana-
ma canal had ever been a construct.
ing engineer in the sense that a con-
tractor is. The public JAILED to per
ceive the importance OF this dis;inc-
ton and did not protest against per-
hitting the actual construction to be
placed in the hands OF men utterly
without the proper training or ex-
perience."
aside from this blunder there is
the fundamental error involved in
ever attempting to do public work
OF any magn tude by forces directly
in tle government employ So long
as human nature remains as it is the
average laborer working for a coy
eminent will not work as faithfully
as he will work for a private individ-
nal or corporation.

THAT KH4KI PROTEST.
Made after Secretary Taft Left
Ofce-President Asks Inquiry.

Washington. July 7.-Secretary of War Wright
has received from certain New England manu-
facturers OF khaki cloth protest against the use OF
British made khaki for the uniforms of the
soldiers and constabuary in the Philippines, The
of British material but were made up in Manila
by Chinese labor, thus excluding not only Amer
lean manufacturers of khaki. but American labor
in the production of the uniforms
The protest made through President Roose-
welt, who forwarded it to Secretary Wright with
a request that he inquire into the subject with a
view to giving all possible work of that kind to
American manufacturers and workers.
Inquiry by Secretary Wright showed that the
army quartermaster at Manila had let contracts
recently for khaki OF British manufacture, which
was to be made into uniforms for the Philippine
constabuary and the soldiers stationed in the ISL
ands. The contracts were made in the usual way
through offices the quartermaster general on
the recommendation of a board of officers appoint
for the purpose Such contracts as had been
let could not be interfered with, but Secretary
Wright directed that the minimum amount only
of the khaki should be taken under the contracts
and that hereafter, whenever possible, preference
should be given American manufacturers.
Secretary Wright made it clear that his predeces-
sor Secretary Taft, not aware of the protest,
as it was received until after he had relin-
quished office 1t pointed out at the War De-
partment that much of the khaki used in this coun-
try especially by officers of the army, is of British
manufacture, practically all of the military taors
furnishing the foreign article in preference
cloth of American make.
