Canal Digging Dilemma Prompts Dual-Goal Proposal
Editor urges a hydraulic approach to Isthmus soil movement, suggesting sluicing soil from higher slopes to fill tide lands using water pressure and giant sluiceways. The idea aims to wash dirt downslope and reuse it to reclaim coastal lands, potentially lowering costs versus mechanical digging. A separate note reports a US Mail wagon overturned by a driver named William Bennett near Third and Virginia avenues after crossing the Pennsylvania Railroad.
