Vast Panama Canal project eyed with costs and delays
A proposed six year project to raise a canal by nearly twenty feet above the current maximum would cost 87,500,000. Meanwhile cases unfold across jurisdictions with indictments and guilty pleas for embezzlement, and a fatal explosion at a powder mine near Kiperium leaves several Americans dead. Legal disputes over custody of children, theft investigations, and new postal delivery rules also appear in disparate notices. Weather, Arctic expedition reports, and distant travel plans add to the mosaic of late breaking items.
