which is hut one mile long The pos
sibility OF great slides in this section
has therefore claimed the most careful
consideration OF the committee. In
general, the committee believes that
no great extension of these slides is
because the soft rock con-
stituting a very large part OF the
slides is limited in extent, except
cast OF the East Culebra slide. and
conditions elsewhere are unfavorable
for extensions.

'The committee looks to the future

port declares. 1T is not unmtndful
of the labor necessary to deal with the
present slides. and 1t realizes that
slides may be a considerable, but not
an unreasonably large. maintenance

years; 1t also realizes that trouble in
the Culebra district may possibly again

committe firmly believes that, after the
present difficulties have been over

not likely again TO be seriously in

ltification for the statement that traffic
will be repeatedly interrupted during
long periods for years to come. The
canal will servo the great purpose for
which it was constructed, and the rea-
llization OF that purpose in the near
future Is assured.
"All slide material which reaches
the canal must. OF course, be removed
at certain expense and inconven-
fences. The engineers estimate that
about 100000 cubic yards will have to
be removed between the two Culebra
slides; and the dredges can remove
100000 cubic yards month. But Ii
must not be supposed that the canal
will remain closed for nine months;
