go out. the lock drain. and the canal
be ruined." '
After reviewing the legislation and
the mosnagcn of the president. on the.
subject of the canal. the report says
that it is due to the executive branch
of the government that the uncertain
ties confronting the president as to
his powers in the. premises be settled
and disposed of affirmatively. once and
for all. by the only national authority
competent to pass upon the, question
-lii(.‘ national legislature.
The division among experts as to
the best, type of canal is treated by
the report, whirh says that the eonelu.
sion has been reached that lhe follow-
lnn propositions are irrefutable: That
the ideal canal is one at sea level:
that its construction would be attended
with no more, and probably with less
hazard than one. with locks and damn
on doubtful foundations: that the sea
level ennui is safer and more conven-
ient than one with lot-its: tlurt it
would take but little longer time to
build: that it is the simpler and the
more economical to operation and
nuiinleuance.
The majority report concludes that
the sea level canal would not require
more than two Ol‘ three yours more
than the leek type.
Rinks encountered in the operation
of the sea level ennui are made light ‘
of by the report. which says that when
the (‘hagrue is subdued and controlled
the sen level canal made. its use will
be attended with no more risk than
(lillllll sailing distance in the (reruns.
The report asserts that ships of all
elusses could be passed tln'ough the
sea level calm] in eirzht hours and that
half that time would be consumed in
passing ships tin-ough locks alone. The
count of annual maintenance to esti-
mated at “040000 for the sea level
and $030,000 for the lock type.
Discussing the advantages of the sea
level canal to the country eontrollng
ii. in time of war. the report says:
"it free from all obstacles to quick
transit 100 warships. of average size.
moving in one direction. route clear.
’lllliti he passed from ocean to ocean
ln less than a day,
"All naval commanders and common
-lul masters of the great national and
private vessels of the world are most
to a man opposed nnalternbly to the
introduction of any lock to lift von~
win over the low summit that nature
has left for uu to remove."
The majority agrees that an enemy
could destroy a lock ennui much can-
ler than a sea level canal. with ex-
piOHiVPH.
The ultimate filial cost of the sea
level canal an estimated by the ma-
lority is 52.50.000.000. while the rout
it the lock enroll is regarded an un-
tertuln. 'l‘lie minority of the board
if consulting engineers estimated the
lost at $39,705,200. and to this the
polarity suys should be added the in»
“crest on the extra cont of mainten-
mce, the expense of clcnrlmz the li-
les to the 118.000 acres of land that
would be submerged by the central
