Goethals Pushes Extra 3 Million for Panama Canal Work
Col Goethals, chairman of the Canal Commission, urges an additional 3 million dollars beyond appropriations to speed Gatun locks and other Gatun works. He argues continued spending in the current fiscal year will accelerate completion, with progress already faster than anticipated and labor costs rising. The plan aims to prevent deficits and keep the canal project on track.
