The Panama Canal's usage has fallen for three straight years, with 5475 ships in 1928 and about 4800 in the first eight months of 1934, while a proposed third locks system could double capacity. A study by the Interoceanic Canal Board is evaluating costs, feasibility, and the potential of lowering the canal to sea level.
