Canal Work Near Completion and Risks Ahead
Foreman Colonel Gaillard details the Culebra cut progress during the Panama Canal project. He cites ongoing excavations, dynamite safety concerns, and plans to let water in by October with commercial passage possibly delayed into 1915. He notes past slides, the role of Taft and the Adamson bill, and paints a vivid scene of steam shovels and rock- masses, while stressing patience and safety before opening.
