Excerpt from Annual Report of the Governor of the Panama Canal: For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1928The traffic through the Panama Canal in the fiscal year just closed was greater than in any preceding fiscal or calendar year. This statement, made last year, is repeated for this, Traffic in the fiscal year 1928 was greater than that in the fiscal year 1927 by 18 per cent in number of commercial transits, 12 per cent in net tonnage, 11 per cent in tolls and 7 per cent in cargo carried.This considerably greater canal business, which may be expressed roughly by saying that the canal has handled seven ships where six were handled the year before, has been conducted with an increase in force of approximately 1 man to every 25 previously employed. The growth in traffic led to an extension during the past year of the hours of Operation and to increases in divers elements of business connected with the operation of the canal.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
