Officials estimated the sea-level channel would trim 22 days from the | trip between Atlantic and Gulf ports by obviating the swing aronnd the Florida Key and that the sho:.er wa- ter way would result in an annual saving to ocean-going vessels of $7,500,000. The N. E. C. said the money would be expended as follows: Clearing right of way, $500,000; excavation in central areas, $3.500,000; housing, shops and minor buildings, $500,000, and bridge foundation, $500,~ 009.
