Canal Progress Fighting Resumed Formal Opening of Canal Will Not Occur
Washington reports progress on the Panama Canal with a projected opening target of 1915 for navigation by a naval fleet. The canal commission notes six months to a year delay for the full completion, with locks built in duplicate and gates advanced to ensure passage even if parts require further work. The Culebra Cut experiences major slides, yet none hinder ship passage if the canal were operational. Total funding exceeds 322 million dollars with 60 percent of estimates expended by June.
