Washington April H. Chairman
Tawney, chairman OF the committee
on appropriations and Representa-
Olcott, who have recently returned
from a visit 10 The Isthmus of Pa
mama. today discussed with the presi-
dent conditions as they found them.
Mr.. Tawney is fayorably impressed
with the progress being made in the
canal work, and told the president
he thought at the present rate the
waterway should be completed in five
years. He said he regarded ii as un-
fortunate that the engineering world
had been representing to the people
an almost impossible engineering
problem confronting it. The princi-
pal conditions now TO be met, he
Aaid. were those of sufficient railroad
capacity to take care Of the dirt ex-
cavated and sanitation, with view
to keeping the place in good
health condition.
Mr. Tawney also discussed with
the president questions affecting con-
gressional appropriations for canal
work. and it is likely some legisla-
ton bearing on the subject will be
recommended to congress as the re-
suit of the visit to the isthmus.
