scheme was not received with any de-

fact the project appears absolutely
impractical and valueless to the intel

In the first place. it is hardly pos

project seriously. But. going on the
unreasonable assumption that il could

try if conStructedr Browards : plan iS
for a canal skirting the. coast, conse-
quently there would be practically no
saving of distance as compared with
the open seaway. And the avera ge
speed of vessels navigating canals is
five miles per hour, while the average
speed of merchants vessels of the bet
ter class on the open seaway is twelve
to fifteen miles per hour: SO that while
there might be a trifiing saving in dis
tance in favor of such a canal, It
would be at tremendous disadvant-
age with the open seaway in the mat
ter Of time. For instance, TO make
the trip from Tampa to Boston there
would be loss of something like
twenty days time.
Now a canal across the northern end
of Florida. near the Georgia line-a
sea-level canal. which would not re-
quire the breaking OF cargo-might
be of some practical value. but its cost
would be SO great that ii is al once
