nected with the purchase Of the canal concession
from the French company. He gave no tntimation
that he might be called upon as a witness In any
canal Investigations. bat he said he might make a
personal call on the President
Concerning the present lock system now employed
by the Americans in the canal building, Mr Bunau-
Vsrilla rehearsed his well known views. He re-
pested that a sea level canal was the only kind
that should be built and that permanent lock sys-
tenn would not only be tremendous expense. but
would be unsafe and unstable He said the Gatun
Dam as IL is being constructed by the army en-
efueers would eventually result in the greatest
disaster te any public work in modern times.
Mr. Bunau-Varilla said he in no way advocated
the construction of a level canal wholly by
digging realizing fully the cost of such work and
the fact that IT might take fifty years 10 complete It.
He contends that with the temporary lock system.
the canal could soon be utilized for transportation.
and that the tolls from ships would meet the cost

Local subway experts looking for : move
in the near future by the Interborough Rapio

will be made with the steinway tunnel and the

This move on the part of the Belmont inter
ests 1t, is confidently believed, will be In the
form of an application to the Public Service
Commission for franchise to build subway

air line route under Madison avenue
The advantages which would accrue to the
Interborough from such line are manifold Al

West Farms would be kept off the broadway

main line TO great extent. Furthermore 'he
running time Of the Bronx and West Farms
