He declared that there 9th May had been twa tenders for the con- struction of the canal, one from a reputable Netherlands firm and the other from the Belgian contractors 20th May in question. The price made by the latter, he said, was slightly below! that of the Netherlands firm whose 4th May specifications, however, were greatly 19th May superior to the Belgian plans. 20th May
