Florida has a remarkable sink-hole topog
raphy and lowering the water table will re-
move the support from roofs Of many under
ground caverns on both sides Of the canal
Another expert. Dr. V. T. Struggled as
sociate geologist Of the l. S Geological Sur
vey also points out that the water level in
wells along the proposed route OF the canal
stands at 40 or 80 feet above sea level.
With the cutting Of the canal" says Dr.
Struggled the ground water level immedi-
atcly adjacent to il would inevitably drain
down 10 approximately sea level The width
OF the zone in which the lowering of the
ground water level would take place cannot
be- predicted with any certainty, but it may
well be miles on either side of the canal.
Silver Springs" he continues which is
only three miles from the route Of the canal
and issues from the limestone at about 40
feet above sea level is without doubt we'll
within the area in which the ground water
level would be materially lowered"
And these possible tragedies are not denied
by the canal enthusiasts.
Or. +. II H. Calhoun. dean Of the School Of
Chemistry and Geology Of Clemson College
South Carolina and an expert consulting
geoIogist for the past IS years, calls special
attention 10 the fact that the hackers of the
canal admit that there will be large claims
for damage after the canal is built
The Board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors recommended in their report accord
ing 10 Or, Calhoun, that it might be well for
the Federal Government to take over all the
indemnity that would be asked because of the
canal since the State might not be able to
stand it,
But if this project proves mistake" DIR.
Calhoun said during the Senate investigation
of the canal, 1T will be the kind that neither
time nor money can remedy. There is but orc
beautiful Florida There are thousand places
where a canal can be dug and no harm can
come and just as much benefit accrue
we should not consider our own genera
ton only but all of those that come after
us. History is full of illustrations of just such
fatal mistakes as this"
Homer l.. Hughes, a grower of Bradenton
Florida who is himself an expert engineer
when called as witness in one Of the hear
ings charged that the Revsory Board which
studied the canal situation and brought out
favorable report, made their study during
1886 which was one of the wettest years in
Florida history. The rainfall averages the
Board obtained are therefore worthless he

ent language remain in the bill and that the
bill pass Congress in the regular course of
legislative business in order that the project
may be authorized along with meritorious
projects in Florida and all parts of the coun-
try as a backlog for construction and en-
ployment after the war has ended.
I'm my conference with you, you were adj
vised that felt that a barge canal authorize
ton should be had at this time and without
delay. This is the language Of the bill and L
stand on it."
SO Florida opponents TO the canal are more
insistent than ever that all cards be put on
the table, and the true value-or lack of
value-of the canal. be it barge or ship should
be clearly defined for everyone.
Few people realize the amount Of drainage
damage done in Florida merely by drilling
wells into the very porous Ocala limestone
Or. Struggled again offers pertinent in
formation, on this point. In his Ground
Water Investigations in Florida" he says:
I'm Orlando and vicinity much of the rain
water and sewage are drained into the Ocala
limestone through wells that range in depth
from 100 to more than 500 feet The wells
generally enter cavities with large intake
capacity. One well, 16 inches in diameter and
1888 feet deep, is reported to have intake
capacity of $500 gallons minute
The logs of many drainage wells drilled
for the city of Orlando at sites ranging from
so to 100 feet above sea level show cavities
at considerable depths. some of them as much
as 500 to 700 feet below sea level. Thus in
well No. - cavities occur at depths of 1872,
400 and 4S3 feet. Cavities ranging in size
from one foot TO as much II feet are re-
ported in Il other wells at depths ranging
from IT'S to 495 feet"
These figures show the dangerous perme-
ability of the Ocaa limestone and the danger
of cutting through the underground water
passages, which are the tubes through which
the water goes TO south and central Florida.
Wells drilled to test the Ocala limestone at
the canal site will not hold water because the
water runs away through the assures and
cavities. Engineers expected to use cement
to close the holes in the canal bottom and
sides, but one witness told them there was
not enough cement in the world to close up
all the holes if the canal was completed
Army engineers too. feared the result Of
opening up underground channels in the Ocala
limestone.

Engineers for sthe Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee made an adverse report on the canal
and were unwilling to have the responsibility
for the ditch sadded on them Their recon-
mendation reads:
I'm view of the understandable possibility
that the canal might open underground chan
nels in the Ocala limestone of such size and
extent as would drain wide area, with con-
sequent extensive damage to the ground
water supplies, any authorization for the con-
struction of the canal should empower the
Secretary of War, on the recommendation of
the Chief of Engineers, to modify the plans to
provide for the construction of a lock canal
if at any time during the progress of the
work such modification should be found
warranted in the interest of protecting the
ground-water supply"
Competent authorities show there has been
a steady loss of head or pressure during the
past 25 years for artesian wells and this fact
alone should indicate to some extent the
irrevocable damage in prospect if the canal is
finished.
Hundreds of grove owners, vegetable grow
and farmers have flooded the many hear
ings on the canal with letters stating their
stand against the canal.
Part of a letter from II. James Guy, secre-
tary of the Seminole County Agricultural AS
ISOLATION, Inc, who furnished complete geo.
tee to study. represents the sentiment of most
Of the growers He said
Considerable emphasis has been placed
upon vegetation subsisting entirely from rain
fall and the contention that this vegetation
will not be affected except for narrow dis
lance on each side of the canal cut has been
used repeatedly as evidence that the canal
cut will not affect the water supply
1T must be borne in mind that the water
zone from which these plants obtain their
sustenance is largely separate from the under
ground reservoir that supplies water to wells
used for irrigation and municipal supplies of
the State. These discussions Of rainfall and
vegetation dependent upon rainfall serve
merely TO cloud the ISSUE

AS for the necessity even of barge canal,
MajorGeneral F. M Markham, former Chief
Of u. S. Engineers who retired in 1887, al
ready had told a House investigating COM
mttee in 1889 that: there has never been the
volume of traffic by way Of barge bateau or
rowboat TO justify the cost against the United
States Of cutting this one hundred odd miles
until they got into the stupendous traffic out
of the Gulf of Mexico"
He was referring TO the oil tankers carrying
oil from Texas and Louisiana, much of which
is at this late date going by pipeline.
Representative Tex Green who comes up for
reelection this Spring. tried to calm worried
Floridians by promising:
Since there is so much controversy as to
the damage that may be done to the sub
surface waters Of South Florida l shall ad-
vocate that the United States Geological Sur
vey and other impartial and competent ex-
perts be consulted before any action is taken
or money appropriated for sea-level canal"
But, as has been said, when the specifica-
tions went to the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee in November, they had not been
changed SO the Chamber Of Commerce in
Tampa wired Representative Green as follows:
I'VE feel the language Of the bill authorized
a sea-level canal and merely instructs engi-
neers to build barge canal during the course
Of construction OF a sea-level canal We
urge insertion of provision follows: That
in event shall this bill be construed TO
authorize a sea-level canal until and unless
the Us. Geological Survey has made a full
investigation of the effect of the sub surface
water of South Florida and the said report
indicates that there VIII be no adverse
effect 8"
Representative Green replied as follows:
THE language in the Rivers and Harbors
bill authorizes the Florida canal project in
accordance with House document 1914, which
is the only report of army engineers on this
subject The army engineers in the report
discussed a barge canal and ship canal. The
language added to the bill as mentioned by
me to you and by you to me in your telegram
today requires the army engineers to proceed
with construction TO barge canal depth. This
matter was discussed in the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee this morning and the chair
man of the committee pointed out the benefits
which would accrue from lock-barge canal
NO change can be made in the language
of the bill which would improve this project
from either angle"
Tin brief that even if the canal project goes
through as simple barge enterprise, there
will be nothing To prevent the after cutting
of the big ditch which has been three times
defeated in Congress)

Green's answer continued, Ito any and all
