one before subcommittee and before the
Board of Estimate. A third hearing on January

sons opposed the plan and two favored tt-Mr-
Carrere, the architect, and Jacob A Cantor
At the hearing before the Board of Estimate
about fifteen speakers opposed it and only one
person spoke in favor-Mr. Cantor asked MI
Cantor for whom he appeared. and he said the
City Improvement Society now defunct and /
am here without fee" Then the Mayor said. IF
any person here wishes to make communication
he will address the Chair" Down came the gavel-

opposed to #, and the question Of expense was
raised when the Mayor made the astounding sug-
gestion to pay for the alleged improvement by

42d street of Fifth avenue. who said his
clients had owned the freehold since the street
was opened. explained how the open cut in tunnel
in the roadway at 42d street would prevent persons
crossing the street, and egress and ingress to his
clients property.

damned nonsense and the Truckmens Associa-
ton will probably take ground against the plan.

will probably in time. because hear there
will be only about eighteen feet between the bot

THE TYPE OF CANAL.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your series OF articles bearing on the type
OF canal which the United States IS now building
across the IsthmIs of Panama certainly very
interesting and illuminating. To my mind the com
muncation by Henry Granger, advocating the sea
level plan. Is absolutely convincing as to the wis
dom of adopting that plan
Here is waterway TO be built connecting the
two oceans to last for all time and with which
the name OF the United States will be insep-
arably connected as is the name of Egypt with the
Pyramids.
No sane deny the possibility OF an acci-
dent and consequent delay and perhaps prolonged
stoppage-a amounting to a failure-n the operation
OF lock canal
Under these conditions considerations Of time and
cost have place in determining the plan.
Keep up the good work until the matter is decided
