PANAMA. CANAL
EARNED IN z
S11,140,0OO
Great Government Ownership
Enterprise Proves Great
Moneymaker for Nation.
BY JOHN T. LAMBERT,
Cosmopolitan News Service.


The most dramatic of all the Gov
ernment's ventures into public
ownership has turned out to be q
great money-maker.
The Panama canal made $11,140,
900 last year. Figures compiled TO-
day by the Washington office shows
that in the nine years since the first
ship moved through it's locks, the
canal has actually earned $16,OSl,-
e52.39 more than the cost OF opera
ton.
The report is a story of facts ana
figures which will confound the
critics of public ownership.
1t shows that the entire cost OF
building the canal and OF equlpplng
all its docks, warehouses and snip
repair plants was 84,686, 65o,4O. Or
that amount in excess or $llz,OVO,-
900 was expended for military forti-
ficationS and uses. In other words,
nearly one-tI1ird the entire cost of
the canal was devoted to making it
q base of military protection for the
nation, with the understanding that
no commercial dividend ever would
be collected upon that much of the
investment.
Yet the canals income and profits
have now reached the stage which
indicate that in relatively few
years the great project will have paid
for itself in dollars and cents.
The revenues from tolls since the
canal was constructed in 1914 have
now totaled $75,063 ,503.41. The ex-
penses of taking the vessels through
the canal were SCI, 595, 862.22. Thus
resulted a toll profit of $13,467 ,641 AZ.
Fx%nw
shops, storage warehouses, dry
docks and similar enterprises. at the
canal have totaled $50, AGO, 1861. The
operating expense of those enter
prises was So, 1885, 707.47, leaving
net profit of $2,564 900 and a joint
profit over all operating expenses
of more than $16,000,0 900.
The first years were lean years.
Business of the canal has grown
enormously from small beginning.
Eleven millions of the profit were
made in the past year alone.
In it's, first year, the canal was
used by 1911 vessels. The income
from tolls was $5,000,00O. 1t was
used last year by 4.272 vessels. The
business is expected to keep on
growing rapidly.
French bankers and engineers
started the canal in 1882. They went
into bankruptcy. Another corpora
tion-tried it. The task was too much
for private initiative. They, too,
tailed Then the United States Gov
eminent took hold of it and make 4
O go.
The canal is fifty miles long. The
Jocks are 10 feet wide. There are
three sets of locks. The canal win
accommodate the Leviathan and have
plenty sof room to spare. The toll
rate is $1.20 per ton. Vessels save
three or four weeks instead of ply
ing their way round the treachefous
Horn.
About 35 zoo, 900 cubic yards of
earth were dredged out of the canal.
I asked the chief statistician How
much is that?' He said "a lot.
