total expenditure for construction Of
the Canal.
The price was stiff. If the canal has

dollars, then the work of sanitation
cost seventeen and "A half million dol

Three things made Colonel Gorgas'

discretion; unlimited resources of
money To carry out his measures.
Without any one of these he could not
have accomplished the disinfection of

many, and who seems to have been in
possession of some wealth., although
little is known of his family connec-
adelphia, Stiegel formed associations
which later placed him in position to
accomplish his desire to engage in
manufacturing enterprises, and he soon
became a leader in a number of indus

his subsequent career shows, although
in the midst of his prosperity, he was
destined to meet with serious reverses
which finally reduced him to poverty,
and caused his Imprisonment for debt.

livelihood by serving as a tutor in
