One is the Passamaquoddy scheme for harnessing the tides off the coast of Maine for power purposes, and the other is | the proposed ship canal across the Florida peninsula. The Fassamaquoddy project was prob- ably knockeG out by ine Supreme Court’s TVA decision, which held that the govern- ment could not build works solely for the | production of electric power. The. esti- mated cost was 40 million dollars or more. Many objections have been ugainst the Florida canal, estimated to ; cost between 140 and 200 million dollars. : Many fear that farm and fruit growing lands would be damaged by a salt water canal, also that the fresh water supply of portions of state would be contam- ated, Ship owners are not enthusi about the canal, which they. say would save little time in getting from the Atlan- tic to the Gulf of Mexico, as the progress 's through the narrow weold be very slow.

There is not the slightest need for either of them, and while the ate has rejected the ap- propriation of $12,000,000 to continue the digging of the canal, there is a possibility that the sum may be obtained from the ap- proximate billion the President has asked for work relief. The senate’s disapproval is only an advantage which must be followed by con- tinued efforts to convince those govern- ment agencies that the future of Florida must not be put in jeopardy undez the guise » unemployment. dollars of aidi | SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B.
