Expert She DIS New
Light on Water
Supply Issue
By Rudolph Kaufman, II.

By Rudolph Kaufman, II.
A purely scientific debate, using
for its vehicle of expression the
pages of a geological monthly, has
by chance placed a new weapon ir
the hands of opponents of the pro-
posed Florida Ship Canal.
The debate is between the United
States Geological Survey and a
former member of the survey en-
ployed by Army engineers to survey
the possible effects of the canal cut
on the water supply of Southern
Florida.
Sidney Page, an oil and metal ex-
pert formerly on the survey, in his
report to Army engineers stated
that the canal would not materially
affect said water supply. Further
he published his findings in a 1886
bulletin of the Society of Economic
Geology.
Water supply experts at the sur
vey, it seems, took exception to Mr.
Pages reasoning and obtained the
permission of w. G. Mandenhall
director of the survey, to publish q
rebuttal They state Mr.. Page is
wrong
The survey backs the reasoning
Fundamentally, but entirely in the
interest of science. But at the same
time this branch of the Govern
ment, by so doing, has definitely
placed on record its carefully con-
sidered conviction the canal would
do irreparable damage to large Sec
tions of agricultural Florida.

The canal project has been dor

Both are scheduled to run into spir-

One Of the chief arguments of
opponents heretofore has been that
the canal would damage water sup
ply to the south and bring numerous
claims for damage against the
United States. Opponents also have
argued that cost of the project was
not in the interest of national
economy and members of Congress
from Southern Florida commercial
centers have naturally opposed it
on the ground the commerce of
their districts would be diminished.
Proponents cite the projects

NEW WEAPON FOUND FOES OF FLORIDA SHIP CANAL
Of Idea Is
Traced Back
Centuries

President Roosevelt's recent revival
of the issue, is still dear to the heart
of the administration.
AS matters stand, P. w. A. and
Army engineers have submitted five
reports on the project. The most
recent cost estimate is in the neigh
borhood of 100000. The last of
these reports was made public April
3, 1887. At that time Maj. Gen. Ed
ward M. Markham, then chief of
Army engineers, said the canal
would be in the public interest"
Described in Report.
The canal, as described in the most
recent report of the engineers, would
stretch 1876 miles from deep water
in the Atlantic to deep water in the
Gulf of Mexico. It would call for
deepening of the st. Johns River
southwark from Jacksonville to Pa
latka and of the Oklawah River,
principal tributary of the st. Johns,
westward to a point near Ocala.
Thence it would strike overland for
a distance of 80 miles to Dunellon
and down the Withlacoochee River
to Port Inglis.
AS now proposed it would have a
minimum bottom width of 400 feet
and a minimum depth of 80 feet.
fared and deepened at the Gulf en-
trance.
Only per cent of the work neces-
sary for completion was accom-
plished before work came to a halt.
Camp Roosevelt, the boom town
headquarters of the project, now lies
deserted by the hundreds of men
who hocked there and obtained en-
ployment.
The idea of an artificial water
way to save vessels the journey
around the treacherous and pirate
infested Florida Keys was first con-
ceived by King Philip II of Spain
in the 18th century.
Philip employed engineers to study
the project but the canal never ma
terialized.
Through the years, however, the
idea has bobbed up again and again.
President Andrew jackson, himself
a former Floridian, considered it,
and engineers made a preliminary
survey.
But President Jackson left the
White House before any steps were
taken to make the waterway a
reality.
The public works era found in the
canal a means Of putting thousands
to work. It is claimed the project
would give direct or indirect en-
ployment to more than 41,000 per-
sons, save several days In the trip
from the Atlantic Seaboard (to the
detriment Of Miami and Tampa) and
affect the commerce Of 81 States.
