The blueprints were submitted some time sgo and early approval Is anticipated, Mr. Can ft eld said. Purpose of the new tunnel Is to facilitate the progress of visitors through the caves so that more par ties can be accommodated In a given time. About six weeks would be re quired for the contemplated Improve ment, with CCO men doing the work. Mr. Can field related. The proposed tunnel would extend spur to the main tunnel and would obviate the retracing of steps by the visitors, Mr. Canfleld explained. The rpur has a dead end so that sight seers must retrace their steps to thu main tunnel. While one group is in the spur, others must watt at tho entrance. Under the proposed ar rangement one party will bo able to follow closely after another.
