May delay on great canal funds hinge on tax law
Washington April 6 The canal project may halt if Congress does not fix taxation on bonds to finance the Panama Canal work. Current law taxes national bank notes at 2 percent while proposed bonds would be taxed at 0.5 to 1 percent, risking inability to fund ongoing expenditures estimated at $300,000 monthly with $7 million in treasury. If funds lapse, contractors and laborers face nonpayment and work could stop by November without new authorization.
