American Canal for the Panama Route Concession Transferred to New York Syndicate
The Panama Canal company of America is formed by a New York syndicate to take over the French concession. Key investors include August Bermot, Lach and Co, Levi Py Morehon, J. J. Simons, George Sheldon and Co, and George W. Young. The transfer aims to simplify options between Panama and Nicaragua routes, with formal shareholders' approval pending in Paris. The War Department canal commission plans a detailed study of possible routes, and the new American group expects to assess engineering desirability before final judgment.
