Shipbuilders Protest Policy To Buy Canal Supply Steamers

The Panama Canal Commission decision to purchase canal supplies abroad sparks a political row among Republicans. Vouchers totaling about $29,000 arrive at the State Treasury for the Chickasaw School Fund distribution among twenty three counties, the largest outgoing payment before the June Common School Fund distribution of $416,166.66.
