come the difference Of level to the sea.
The channel between the locks on the
Pacific side Is 500 feet wide at the
bottom and As feet deep at mean tide.
Through the lake the bottom widths
are not less than 1000 feet for about
10 miles, 500 feet for about four
miles. 500 feet for about three miles,
and through the continental divide or,
as II Is commonly called. the Culebra
Cut, from Bias Obispo to Pedro Miguel.
d distance of nine miles, the bottom
width is 300 feet. The total length
of the canal from deep water in the
caribbean to deep water in the Pacific.
is practically 80 miles, Is miles OK
which are at sea level.
Provisions have been made to am
ply protect the entrances OF the canal.
During the winter months occasional
storms occur on the Atlantic side OF
such violence that vessels cannot lie
with safety in Colon harbor, and dur
ing the progress of such storms en-
trance and egress from the canal
would be unsafe. To overcome this
condition a breakwater has been ex;
tended from Toro point in northeast
erly direction which not only protects
ttlt entrance but pIONiutS a SoiC h"i
Dor Another breakwater extended
from the east side of the entrance
will give some protection against silt
ing and enable small boats to lay
alongside shipping anchored In the
outer harbor during the more severe
trade winds. The Pacific entrance re-
quires no protection from storms. but

channel and the sitting made dredging
necessary.
(By sitting Col Goethals means the
deposit OF fine sediment in channel
or waterway as the result Of the &C.
ton of currents or tides or the natura!
flow Of "A stream.)
To prevent this shoaling dixie has
been constructed from the mainland
at Balboa TO Naos island, distance
Of about four miles.
The lakes submerged the tracks OF
the Panama railroad for the greater
part OF its length and as this road
was necessary for construction pur-
poses and for the operation and main
tenance of the canal, II was recon
structed throughout. with the excep-
ton OF few miles at either end II
was originally intended TO pass the
new railroad through Culebra Cut on

face, 10 be left for this purpose dur
ing the excavation OF the channel
through the cut. but the slides and the
absolute necessity for keeping open
railroad communication between the
two ends OF the line necessitated
change In the location and new line

NEW AUTO TAX LAW

Corporation Counsel Lawson will
lose no time instituting proceedings
to test the validity OF the new auto
mobile tax law. which takes more
than 100000 of the city's as
sessment books. The corporation
counsel will likely follow the plan of
mandamusing the secretary OF state
on the refusal OF the latter to accept
an application for a license under
the 1909 statute. This will bring
the matter before the supreme court.

1t was agreed that the city ought to
test the law as soon as possible.
