Editorial comment on latest report; economics of tunnel project turn largely upon passenger traffic; engineering features have settled down to approximate form which may be accepted, if further geological examination reveals no unfavorable features; serious feature of project is that traffic would tend to concentrate at tunnel; it would become uneconomical to maintain boats, which would pass out of existence; and great sums expended on harbor facilities and vessels would be lost. (see also editorial comment in Engineer, vol. 149, no. 3871, Mar. 21, 1930, p. 327)
