1T was not practicable to submit plans
and estimates for the fortifications of the

the Secretary Of the Treasury, because it
was necessary for the board Of officers
to visit the isthmus before deciding the

cations needed. The formal estimates for
appropriations for the fortifications have
now been submitted through the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in the manner re-

that The President shall also
cause to be constructed such safe and
commodious harbors at the termini OF

and harbors. This act indicates that it
is the intention of Congress to provide
for the defense Of the canal by appropria-
tons made in the same acts which ap-

been fixed. namely, January 1, 1915.
