Goethals Aims To Turn Water Into Panama Canal Big Ditch
Colonel Goethals announced plans to turn the water into the Panama Canal around October 1, 1918, about two years earlier than forecasts. A new liquor license law bars granting licenses within five miles of any dry town or city where sales are forbidden, measured as the straight line distance. The ruling will ban saloons in Kingsburg, since it lies within five air-line miles of Springfield, a dry town.
