which they had spent years il per-
fecting. If this could be brought
about, it was our belief that the ca
nal could be completed in shorter time
AID for less money than would be
possible in any other way. The plan
| upon which bids were invited cOntem-
| plates a competition for the work be-
tween two or more CUP of con-
tractors, each group composed of con-
tractors who have achieved a Signi-
licant success il at least one of the
departments of construction involved
in the present undertaking and whose
combined experience covers the whole

proposals by single individuals or
firms whose experience and whose or
CARNATIONS must be relatively limited
are therefore discouraged. The con-
tractor VINO receives the award will
be paid al agreed per centage upon
the estimated reasonable cost of the
actual construction work as fixed by
an engineering committee, of whom
the contractors will name two mem
bers and the Commission three. h
committee will likewise, from all avail
able data, estimate a reasonable time
for the completion of the canal; and
a system of premiums and penalties
TO be paid to the contractors accord
ilgly as the work is completed with
in Or beyond such estimated cost and
time is provided for. the amount
of percentage to be paid the contrac-
tor fixes the basis of competition. On
January ~ last we received and OPP
ened four bids in response to this in
vitatio1, and the percentage of these
ranged from 6.75 to %.
That, gentlemen, is the record of
things done. We have created a
State. We have created a great hui
man machine to carry on the work.
| mean by that we have created an
organization on the most approved
scientific administrative lines under
which the various branches of the
| work are divided and distributed
among departments each of which
has its own w~ell-defined field of du-
~ and each of which is performing
that duty. We have made the 18th
mus a healthy place in which to work
We have built quarters for the work
ers and have provided for them abun-
liant supplies of wholesome food and
pure water. We have built up a rail
way system adequate for the needs
of the canal construction, as well as
commercial business. We have accu-
mulated the plant with which to do
the work. We have completed he
engineering plans upon which the
work is to proceed.
With the broad policies of which
have spoken carried into operation,
the creative period has come to arg
cad, and the period of active construc-
ton has begun. AS to the manner in
which the creative task has been
performed we are content to let the
facts speak for Themselves. You will
not misunderstood me, l am sure, if
| cite one tribute, as gratifying as it
is just, to those associates and ag-
e1ts of the Commission whose unSwe-
rving loyalty and untiring zeal have
made possible the results achieved.

agement has been shown in nothing
more clearly than in the way in which
the foundations nave been laid"
