BOARD INVESTIGATES CANAL (Continued from First Page.) eral times thought tho scheme was on the point of materializing, but hao been suc cessively disappointed, so that even now. we do not want to be oversangulno. So far as the canal and power plant 'nro con cerned, they are entirely distinct nnd sep arate from the propositions for suburban electric railways. For my own part, 1 doubt whether suburban roads would pay out even for some time to come, until nfter traffic should be developed. It cer tainly would not' pay out unless It 'gets cheap power, which can come only from the construction' of n water power plant. I should say that the suburban railway franchise. It one Is to be granted, should be granted lo the people who build tho canal nnd power plnut, whoever they may be, rather than to' any company or associa tion which proposes either to dispose of It to the power plant company or to hnld It for speculative purposes. I Insist the power plant project Is perfectly feasible and Is a good butdness venture. Irretipec tlvo of the suburban railway schemes." Time l Xeeeimirj. Some of the men pressing for. art Ion by tho county cnininls?loners seem to be labor ing under tho Impression that. If tho rlght-of-wny mid franchise aro granted, as asked, the suburban railways will ho con structed at nnro and be ready for opera tion, with power .from the canal plant, as soon as completed. On this point City En gineer Host water says: "The Idea that great engineering works can be designed and wrought out with a turning of the band is entirely erroneous. While the preliminary surveys for tho pro posed canal and reservoir have been made to the point of demonstrating Its prac ticability, it would take -at 'least three months of further surveys Mid detailed fnglneerlng designing before actual work on construction could begin. To build the dam, which Is the foundation for Ihe reser voir, would alone require. ' upwards of eighteen months' time. If the other work of digging the canal, constructing the power houses, turbine wheels nnd building the transmission line's, were done simul taneously, so that all would ho finished at tho same time. It would still take two years befote the power could lie generated and turned on." The eastern end of the financial negotia tion for the' canill' power plant hns been In the hands' 6t' General R. M. King, the lurhlno wheel manufacturer, who has as sisted In the promotion of several other power canal fcliumca of similar character. A letter from Mr. King to Mr., Lloyd, Just received.
