The Oliver & Bangs bid to finish the Panama Canal at 0.75 percent of cost has been rejected with Anson M. Bangs contesting.

Advertisements to invite fresh bids aim to give Oliver another chance to enlist funds and resubmit. W J Oliver of Tennessee is billed as a major employer with 40 contracts, planning to mobilize 6,000 Southern hoggrass laborers to Nevada if successful, coordinating with McArthur & Gillespie delays and possible compromise proposals amid tied negotiations.
