PANAMA CANAL SLIDE
MAY COST 100000
Government Loses Thousands of Dol
lars in Tolls Each Day Ditch
Is Closed.

The slide at Gaillard cut on the Pan
anna Canal is costing the government
many thousands of dollars day in loss
Of tolls A serious deficit has already ap-
peared, which must be taken care OF by
Congress in the appropriations during
the coming session.
For four months the canal had been
making money, the excess Of tolls over
expenditures at the end Of July being
s111,570 In August came the slide, and
in a fortnight a deficit had been made.
The net earnings of the canal this year
were at that time cut down to S4,5s2.
This balance has been wiped out as
the dredging this year in Gaillard cut
has cost Sc57,593. Just what repairing the
damage done by the present slide will
cost cannot be estimated now, but it is
likely that it will run up to more than
100000
