Mexico Studies
Railway For Ships
AP Newsfeatures

The Mexican government has
conducted extensive studies Of a
proposal to build a ten-track rail
road to carry ships across the 18th
mus of Tehuantepec.
HOdestO C. ROLAND, director of
free ports of Mexico, recently de-
scribed the project to American
maritime and engineering experts
in a talk at the Commerce Depart
ment in Washington.
The Mexican government has not
vet authorized construction. But
ROLAND says it is being seriously
considered. Foreign capital, he
said, would be needed.
Mexican engineers have estimat-
ed the cost at several hundred mil
lion dollars. If a canal were dug
in the same area, the narrOWest
part of Mexico, at the southern eX-
tremity of the country, it would
cost several billions.
l Ships up to $4,000 tons would be
flOated from a lock into a rectang-
ular basin on wheels. This basin
would proceed across the isthmus
under it's own power 1t would be
jointed-built in sections connect
ed with flexible material-sO that
it could move on slightly curved
/ tracks.
The apparatus has been dubbed
a "decavia," meaning "ten-track.'
/ United States engineers have
made cursOry studies of such a pro
ject for this government. They re
jected it before going into thu
matter exhaustively because the!
considered it impractiCable. Tht
enormous weights, pressures ant
tensions involved would be unpre
cedented, they said, concluding
that the success of such a prOjec
was incOnceivable.

GRAPE GROWERS
IN THIS STATE
GET LOW PRICES

the Yakima Valley Grape Crow
ers' association of GrandvieW,
reported the difference in cost
between eastern and local grapes
is freight costs.
He estimated this at $40 per
ton. %
However, New York growers
averaged S143 a, ton in 1915
when Washington producers got
$64. Pennsylvania grapes brought
$40 and Ohio grapes $135. Mich
igan grapes averaged $138 a ton.
In 1947 the average New York
price was $118 a ton. Pennsyl-
vania grapes brought $110, Ohio
$95 and Michigan $88. Washing.
ton growers averaged 500.
A new feature that should help
the price for local growers is the
fact that California firms have
contracted to take a portion of
the grape juice output.
McInnis has reported the firms
he is dealing with have spent
