CAPE COD TO CELEBRATE
OPENING OF WATERWAY

Boston Mass. hily The Cape Cod
Canal. which Is destined to take rank
among the foremost waterways of its
kind in America is To be opened to
traffic this month and in celebration
of the event the people of the Cape
Cod towns and villages in the vicinity
OF the canal are preparing for an elab-
crate water pageant and other festivi-
ties. There has been no controversy
as to the first craft that will go
through the canal BY unanimous con-
sent the private yacht of August Bel
mont, the head of the canal company,
has been selected for the honor.
Discussed Project Since 1927.
The project for a canal across Cape
Cod was discussed for more than two
hundred years before Mr. Belmont and
his associates took it up and pushed it
To completion. Miles Standish first
discussed the plan in 1927. In 1876 a
route for the canal was examined. one
hundred years later Gen. Washington
ordered the survey of a canal route
which would aid navigation and give
greater security against an enemy.
In 1899 the Boston, Cape Cod and
New York Canal company secured a
charter from the state of Massachu-
setts for the construction of the canal.
Little progress was made, however,
until August Belmont acquired a con-
trolling interest in the company in
1906. The actual work of digging the
canal was commenced on June %, 1909.
Up to date more than $10,000,00 has
beer expended on the project.
Route is Eight Miles Long.
The canal is about eight miles long
and extends in straight line from
BuzZards Bay on the south to Sand
wich, on Barnstable bay, on the north.
IL has a depth of twenty-five feet at
low water and about thirty feet at high
water. The minimum width is 125
feet at the bottom and from 25O To 300
feet at the surface but there are sew
eral stretches along which the min
imum width is at least 200 feet at the
bottom. These stretches are long
enough to provide ample room for the
for many years to come. The object of
the canal being To save time, IL is de-
signed for that purpose and there will
be no delays on account of steamers
tying up for others to pass. II will
shorten the inside water route from
New York To Boston by seventy miles
and the outside route by one hundred
and twenty miles But the chief gain
is in the rough cape Cod weather
outside.
