 GENTLEMEN: In connection with and as a part of the data accompanying the
 pending application of National Gulf-Atlantic Ship Canal Association, there are
 attached hereto certain analyses of the traffic statistics presented in the economic
 survey for the Gulf-Atlantic ship canal by Col. Gilbert A. Youngberg.
 The attached represents preliminary studies for the purpose of considering a
 toll structure applicable to this project. The analyses are not to be regarded as
 final but are designed to indicate the savings accruing to different classes and
 groups of traffic in the several divisions of shipping. It is the intention of appli-
 cant to file additional studies from time to time if, as, and when the examining
 engineers may indicate that such are desirable or necessary, or when it may appear
 to the applicant that the study of the case may be furthered thereby.
 Respectfully submitted.
