u. S. WILL PUSH
CANAL CONSTRUCTION
Continued from page two)

Continued from page tWoJ
about eight months, engineers es-
timated. This will be possible be-
cause the work will be done large
" by hand power instead of steam
on the business end of the shovels.
The work could, of course, be
executed in less time by power
dredging, but in order to carry out
the administration program OF
providing work for as many men
as possible, a minimum OF ma
chinery will be employed
ROUTE FAVORED BY
ARMY is ADOPTED
Thirteen different surveys have
been made, and Is different routes
for the canal have been proposed.
The army recommended the pres
ent route, but proposed a lock
canal, costing about S175,OOO,OOO.
A special board, composed of prl-
vate and corps engineers and
PWA officials, went over the en-
tire project again, and decided
that sea-level waterway would
be more practical and less costly.
This decision added new ammu-
milton to the 100-year-old broad
side of opponents. They now ar
gued that a sea-level canal would
endanger the fresh water supply
of the entire state.
One group of biologists held
that Florida's fresh water would
be ruined, another that no general
damage would result.
The PWA agreed with the for
mer, and for months, while all Of
North Florida and Southern Geor-
gia clamoured for the work to
start, administrators of the works
fund delayed action, until finally
President Roosevelt made the first
allotment on his own initiative.
SAY TOLL NOT ENOUGH
TO MEET COSTS
Another objection of opponents
was that the toll of the canal
would not pay administrative costs
and upkeep, much less the princi-
pal. This argument was discount
ed by the army, first, because the
canal will not charge a toll, it be-
ing against the policy of the gov
eminent to maintain waterways
charging a fee. The only toll ca
nal in which the United States is
interested is the Panama, and a
toll was permitted there only be-
cause of agreements between this
country and England.
The depth of the canal being
80 feet, another criticism is met,
namely, that only small ships can
use it, engineers said.
Much time will be saved in ship
ping between the Atlantic and
Gulf, as it will not be necessary to
sail the long route around the
keys. West-bound craft will sail
us the st. Johns river past Jack
sonville to Palatka, crossing the
divide five miles from Ocala,
thence into the Withlacotchee
river, and down this stream to
Poht Inglis, on the Gulf.

sO FLORIDA FEARS

hat the tolls would never amount

If the canal, to say nothing OF us
original cost. y :.
However, South Florida's main
objection to the canal is based on
the very real fear that its con-
strnction would ruin the fresh
water supply of a great section
of the state.
A report of the U. S. Geologi-
cal survey, on file in the office
of Secretary Ickes, and made pub
liz before the allotment of the
initial $5,OO0,000 to start the
construction of the canal, states
regarding it:
7The proposed canal, for 40
miles or more, would be in effect
huge drainage ditch, cut deep
lv into the Ocala limestone
at is one of the principal
sources of water supply in Flor
ida. It's surface is pitted with
sink holes; the rain sinks into it
and joins the underground cir
culation. Large springs rise from
it and and numerous wells derive
their supplies from it. Within a
few miles of the proposed route
of the canal is Silver Springs dis
charging about 500,000,O0O gal
Ions a day, approximately the
amount of water used by New
York City.
FEAR FRESH WATER
SUPPLY IMPERILED
ut would inevitably drain. en-
ormous quantities of water from
the limestone, would lower the
water level in it, and might even
divert the water that now rises IN
many of the springs. The water
that would thus be drained Oft
now circulates underground to
considerable distances and is the
source of important municipal and
domestic supplies. Moreover, at
ter an unlined sea level canal,
with the passage of time, had
drained down the fresh water now
in the limestone, ocean water, par
ticularly from the western end,
would tend to enter the canal at
high tide and to seep into the
limestone along the canal banks
and thus to contaminate It's fresh
waters. Furthermore, with the
loss of heard of fresh water, due
to the drainage from the upper
part of the limestone along the
zone of the canal, the salt water
that is already in the lower part
of the limestone would have a
tendency to rise and enter the
walls"
SAYS CANAL TO PAY
POLITICAL DEBT
Yet, in spite of this very grave
potential danger to South Florida,
construction of the canal is I'M
der way. ccording to a Miami
newspaper, the explanation is
that certain administration Off
Gals in Washington are under
political obligation to a group of
| Influential citizens of Jackson
vile, and starting the canal SEEM
ed to be necessary.
At the present time even
though some 80 business and civic
organizations have protested the
construction of the canal, the
South Florida objections have
been tempered by the desire to
refrain from doing anything that
would harm the chances of getting
large slices of federal money for
WPA and other projects. That
is why the walls from South Flor
ida have not been louder and
more outraged. Even though the
canal is never completed, it GER
tainly will be an important poll
tical issue in Florida in 1886, if
work on it continues that long.

To do This a Pile Driver (Gantry) 100
Feet High is Completing the Emile
Cutoff Wall Thru Heart of Dam

Without ballyhoo or fanfare, the
Frazier. Davis COnst. Co. contractors
for the steel sheet pile cutoff wal
of the project, proceeded to force
new sheets of steel 161 feet into the
ground thus breaking the worlds
record previously made last fall
This was done with the gantry re-
Gently set up at the extreme west
end of the wall. The feat is remark.
able in that the 161 #. of penetra-
ton was into glacial till, one of the
most difficult geological formations
into which to drive piling. The
previous record of 1855 #. was made
in the flood plain river valley alluv-
ium.
The sinking of the piles into the
glacial till is possible largely because
of the development of powerful hy-
draulic jets which are used to bore
holes into the ground prior to the
placing of the sheets of piling This
tool. although it has been used on
pile driving work for many years,
has been develored by the Frazier
Davis Co. to a point never before
visualized by constructors. They
call it their Hydraulic spade" &
together with the 200-foot gantry
and automatic hammers, make up
the most important tools in their
kit. Eight multi-stage centrifugal
pumps furnish water for jets at up
wards of 200 pounds pressure.
The other gantry has progressed
almost to top of west abutment.
Penetration obtained by this out
fit has increased to about 140 feet.
The 2 gantrys are working towards
each other carrying N really
great struggle against the nature
of the ground & time when freez
ing weather will be upon them to
cut off their vital supply of water.
Morrison Knudsen Co. of Boise,
Idaho are demonstrating still an
other method of moving dirt on
this project which has already wit
messed about all methods except
horses and wagons and baskets
carried on the heads uf natives
These contractors have the job of
building the S mile extention of
Govt railroad from present termin-
us at spillway, around & down to
upstream face OF dam. The work
is of nature common to r R. con
struction, requiring the making Of
cuts thru the high ground and fills
across small coulees so as toobtain
an eve grade. Dirt is spread out
along line of future R. r. 1t is
being done largely by use of pow
erful tractors attached to 5 huge
steel scrapers called carry.all gra-
ders. Each carryall will hold IL
Gu. yds of loose dirt. Latest idea
in handling this equipment is hook
up 2 scrapers in tandem behind a
diesel tractor of 80 hip. Opc-
aated by l man. these machines
do not stop in movements about
an elongated figure g.. Other trac-
tors are equipped with bulIdozer
blades or "rooter plows.
A portion Of heavy cut is being
taken care of by a power shovel &
