Engineer Cooper, who has for 14 years revolved his idea of riding the Old Man of the Sea and for four years studied the Fundy terrain, is prepared to finance his project without state or federal aid and to devote the rest of his life to its completion. It would cost over 75 millions, he figures. It would take 5,000 workmen five years. The sea walls necessary total over a mile in length and at to upper pool must be 70 ft. high. The power dam is 3,600 ft. To build in the concrete water gates, mountains of rock would have to be dropped in the tideways, some of which are 200 feet deep.
