CANAL ESTTMATES GROW.
Isthmian Commission asks SIS, ,OOO.-
- 900 for Neat Fiscal Year.

which was transmitted TO the Secretary of War
to-day by the Isthmiar Canal { -Inmission. $4S.
O63, I24 will be required 10 continue construc-
ton of the Panama Canal in the fiscal year 1911.
This is by far the largest estimate for any
year since the beginning of canal construction.
1t is more than $12OOOO0O larger than the es-
innate for 1910 and $15.OOOOOO more than the
estimate for 1909 OF this amount SO. 800.
600 will be for skilled and unskiIled labor. and
$20OOOOOO for the purchase and delivery of
supplies.
It is believed that the increase is due TO the
fact that the canal is in it's second phase of de-
velOpment. and much material and labor is re-
quired for lock and dam construction. The en-
tire amount appropriated for the canal to date
IS $21OO7O 46S
