"It is proposed." says the Daily
Mail, "to start the tunnel some dls
tance inside both countries, instead
of near the coast, as was originally
\ intended, so as to avoid the risks of
; a fall of the cliffs, such as already
has occurred on the British side near
the point where the work would
have been begun.
" In addition to tracks, the tunnel
will carry telephone and telegraph
wires, superseding the present seabed
cables, and also pneumatic tubes
for carrying letters and parcels The
French and British railroads concerned
nre willing to finance the
scheme, but the two governments
wish to exercise control of some sort
of Joint state finance for the work
may be adopted."
