Minority Panama Canal Plan Favored by Chief Engineer
Washington January 24 The essential features of the minority Panama canal report favored by Chief Engineer Stevens were made public. It calls for a lock canal at an elevation of 98 feet with three locks on the Colon side and two on the Panama side, a total cost of 147 million dollars, and about seven and a half years to build. A dam to control the Chagres river would form a lake, about 85 feet high and a quarter mile long. The eight hour day provision for canal workers was struck out on a parliamentary point of order.
