Col, Goethals Wishes To Pick

One of the foremost problems con-
fronting congress today is that OF pro.
viding for the operation OF the Pan.

10 be determined before the canal is
completed. One of these relates to
the permanent force for the operation
OF the big waterway. During the five
years or active work under the admin
istration OF Col Goethals, there has
been built up force which repre-.
sents the cream of long process OF
elimination. IL is force. which, for
eihciency, is the admiration and des.
pair OF the entire engineering world
The law under which the canal is be-
ing built provides for the disbanding
OF this great organization as soon as
the canal is completed.
Col. Goethals Is confronted with the
problem of building up another organ

tracks IL the city will widen the

paved but needs resurfacing, and the
work could be done to advantage
when the street is widened.
Chairman Harpfer got an estimate
from the city engineer that to pave
the entire street from Livernois to
the city limits, would cost $46,710.
The cost of the new paving, except
between the tracks, would have TO be
paid by the property owners, while

by the city. II was decided that those
favoring the project would circulate a
