Their Support Of All-Americaa
 Waterway Plan Sought

Washington, March l5 P'- Tho army engineers were urg'd today by the Great Lakos-St Lawrence Tide water association 10 support ihc conclusions reached by special rn- gineering boarl which has advised against the feasibility of the propos- cd AIl-Amclican ship canal across New York state,
 Instead, bricr filed by lh" a>so- citation urged that tho Sh lawfrnc" project had proved 10 he prac'ica- hlo, that it would l." much less rN- penslye and would extend more hcn, fits 10 tho farmers who must ship commodities for export.
 The Great Lakes territory the brief said, were entitled 10 tho Hat' ural wuy 10 the soa and the way that would serve the rrc.tt grain rroduc- ng section best. Eighry-twc bridges and $l locks on the All- American. is said would make navi- gation slow. tedious and impractica- hle. N hilc the maximum depth would not meet the demands for deep ship ping from Inc Great Lakes.
 Latest estimates fer q ship canal of 25 feet draft between Lake On- tario and the Hudson the brief said. were $506 6,000,00o,
 ITO provide such q canal wholly within American territory between Lakes Erie and Ontario,' it coA- tinued, there must be added h"' tween s125,0O0,0o0 and s15j,oOo,0oo making a grand total cost for th' so-called All-Amcrican route of be tween $6Sj, j,00o.0Qo and $66l,0oo,oo0
 The official estimate for a 21-foo channel in the St. Lawrence riN"' from Montreal 10 Lake Ontario witt locks 25 feet deep, is s212,T2A,20' and for 3o-foot channe! $2Io,Il4 A., sso.
