Mr. Wallace kept up the surveying
whicn would aid In determining the

choice Of type. he also pushed exca-
walton operations Ia the Culebra cut,
rehabiiitating old French excavators

He had found 746anen at work with
hand tools In the Culebra cut. His
frst inspection convinced him that the
French machinery sDta1d be abandon

ment could be secured. and he express
ed the opinion that two years would
be required for preparations.
