Panama Canal Work Needs Simpler System Says Col Symons
Col LT W Symons, former adviser on the Erie Canal, now Washington resident, argues Congress should reform Panama Canal administration. He cites New York canal uses a single state engineer with a five engineer advisory board, asserting the current commission is cumbrous and inefficient. He recalls New York’s $9 million missteps and praises a system granting clear responsibility from top to bottom. He urges a like reform for Panama to ensure engineers lead the project with strict accountability.
