CHANNEL IS AN OLD PROJECT
Land Communication Between Eng,
land and France Has Been Thought
OF for Many Years.

A tunnel between England and
France beneath the English channel
was first proposed at the beginning
Of the nineteenth century by Matthew.
4 French mining engineer. Fifty years
later the scheme was financed. bat 1t
was not until 1867 that 1t seemed that
the project would be actually at.
tempted. At that time there were q
dozen or more plans for rail com.
munication between the two countries.
The accepted scheme was that Of q
tunnel bored beneath the bed OF the
channel. The estimated cost OF the
undertaking was about E10.000.000
Preliminary boring Lad been made.
when the work was interrupted by the
Franco-Prussi war. In 1874 the
French and English governments re-
sumed negotiations concerning the
tunnel, leaving the matter In the
hands of Joint commission. Failure
on the part of the English company
holding the contract for the work to
receive sufficient funds resulted In
the failure Of the enterprise in 1880.
Now. the project is receiving some at.
tention, a better feeling having been
established between the people Of the
two countries.
