At the first International confess of mailtlmo navigation In Philadelphia last May It was pre dicted that In 1050 the 20 largest bonts of tho Atlantic Meet would lmvo an nvcrngc of 1100 feot, with i beam of over 100 foot, and draw nearly -10 feet of water. A previous forecast, however, for 1923 mater ialized In 1011. Plans for tho new locks nt Tulbury dock provide for a length of 1250 feet, n width of 1.10 feot and a draft of 51 feet. The Suor. canal, which so fur hns been Incapable of receiving ships of the nlzo of North American lliicts. Is to bo deepened to .19 feet by III IB. Tliero exists an appreciable differ ence between port accommodation In Now York and Havre. The cntranco to tho French port has n low tide a minimum depth of 10 feet of water. On tho other hand. In Now York hnr linr tho Ambrose channel has n depth of 10 feet. Dig liners today can not wait for tho tide. All companies attach Im portance to Hailing on schedule. This is Impossible nt Havre: hence there nro In course of construction there works that will noon glvo the port n big t'.dny basin, with u quay of more than H000 feet, along which there will always be at least .10 feet of water.
