Bulk products like wheat,
lumber, minerals, wool, hides
and wines will get lower freight
rates through the canal from'
Pacific ports.
Eastern machinery, textile,
manufactures and finished pro
ducts will enjoy cheaper rates
to Pacific ports.
Staple products of the south,
cotton, iron coat, lumber and
ship supplies will have similar
advantages to the Orient and
Pacific ports.
The cost of operating .the
canal will exceed 41.000,000 an
nually. 'Ti]
About 2.000 employes will be
required.
To pay interest on the invest
ment and operating expense
approximately $15,000,000 rev
enue per annum will be needei.
Traffic experts estimate that
for the first few- years the aver
age tonage will be 10,00° 000
tons, not enough at the 51.20
rate to make the canal self
supporting.
Time required to go through
the canal, from tea to twelve
hours.
The rates charged vessels
are the same as ’.hose a! 3t:cs.
The government w ill monop
olize the business of s ipplying
coal and provisions and oper
ating repair facilities.
Great dry-dock, wharves ware
houses. repair shops and other
facilities to cost $20,000,000
are under construction.
Ail permanent buildings will
be of theltalian renaissance
-tyle of architecture. The
route of the canal will be
beautified with trees, etc.
Storage for 450,000 tons of
coal maximum capacity, is pro
vided. Normal storage capacity
37.000 ions. Oil 160,000 bar
rels.
Monster 2T0 ton floating
cranes will handle wrecks or
accidents in the canal locks.
Warships of a’i nations may
pass through the canal, but
cannot linger more than twenty
four hours at either end iu
time of war.
