Scrap Iron Sale Spurs Panama Canal Scrutiny
The sale of 7 200 tons of cast iron junk on the Panama Isthmus for 60 000 dollars prompts the canal commission to assess vast quantities of obsolete machinery from the French company. Chief Engineer Stevens notes ground strewn with scrap while planning new Panama railroad switching yards. An official estimates thirty miles of similar debris remain, with potential value reaching a million dollars once recovered. Many items are obsolete, including 240 Belgian engines with copper boilers and bronze tubes. The market for junk appears steadier and growing, though much remains unusable. The article also touches on political party matters and procedural calls for a state convention.
