Blueprint for Isthmian Canal by Bunau Varilla and Bates
Washington September 20 The board of consulting engineers of the isthmian canal commission heard a explanation of plans by Bunau Varilla and Linden W Bates both engineers. Bunau Varilla said a canal could be built and operational in five years with deeper work to sea level in five more. He proposed sea level locks built from a foundation below sea level to allow dredging without interrupting commerce. The locks would be 180 feet high at completion and used at all depths until sea level is reached. Bates proposed locating principal dams near the sea to form two large lakes, preventing stagnation and improving health. The board has the Bates plan pamphlet with maps and diagrams.
