Show PLANS ARE ALL RIGHT. Mr. Taft Makes Examination of Lock and Dam at Gatun. Culebra Panama. William H. Taft and the engineers accompanying him reached here from Panama on Monday Mon-day on a special train, and made a detailed de-tailed examination of the fourteen miles of the Culebra cut. The fact that the existing plans for the lock and dam at Gatun are satisfactory satis-factory to the visiting engineers has created a local feeling of optimism and the fears of delay in the completion comple-tion of the work have been relieved. Mr. Taft expressed the belief that the views o the engineers regarding the situation at Gatun would be favorable fa-vorable and their findings consequently consequent-ly did not come as a surprise to him. Mr. Taft and the engineers are very much gratified at the extent of the work accomplished at Culebra. |
