Improv.ments on the Suez Canal.
the
Improvements,saya Times, now progressing on the Saez Canal, fir which the company has power to site $30,000,000 through bands, are expected to be completed in 1918- 19. The schrue adopted by the company on the recommendation of the International Consultative Committee of winks is compre- beasive and the details suggest that it will meet the needs of the big ship. In regard to the Eastern trade it was stated that one of the limiting factors was the Suez Canal; bot low ships sing the canal draw the maximum p.7MİS- sible draft of water, which is now 20 feet. However, until the pre- seat schema of improvement was putin hand progress in providing for ships of greater tonnage had been alow. The maximum per- missible draft of ships using the canal was 24.4 feet in 1870; in 1890, 25,4 feet; and daring the following twenty-four years the increase has averaged about one foot every six years.
