three years later, with the Rev. Jede-

The report Of Joseph L. Bristow,
who was appointed special commits
sioner to study matters affecting the
Panama railroad, was made public
The report finds that road had been
used by the American trans-contin-
entail railroad lines before it was &C
quired by the United States, as a
preventative of competition by way Of
the Panama water route between
the Pacific coast and the Atlantic.
The former owners of the road were
paid to levy prohibitive rates, and
the connecting steamship lines hav-
ing been under control of the Ameri-
can roads. He recommends that the
government retain ownership of the
line, charging rates based upon the
cost of service and a fair return on
the investment, that it abrogate
the special contracts with the steam
ship lines if necessary in order
to procure competition, and that it
establish government lines of steam
ers to connect Panama and the Pacific
coast
