Invitations for proposals to complete the Panama canal have Deen issued by the canal commission, amd the form of contract under which the work is to be dome was made public by Chairman Shonts, who also gave out a jetter written to the secretary of war giving the com: mission's reasops for coutracting the work. The contract provides that each bid. der must upndertuke the entire work of construction. No bar will be offered to corporations associating in the nn. derthking, but they wust be legally or ganized into a single body with which the government can deal. Bidders will not be considered who do not have avaliable capital of $5000000. A cer tified check for $200,000 is required with each proposal, and a bond of $3.000000 will be required from the successful dldder. The bidding is pot limited to Ameri- can bidders. All proposals are to be in before noon of Dec. 12, when they will be opened. Proposals are to be ex- pressed in terms of percentage upon the estimated cost of construction, which is to be fixed by a board of five engineers, three representing the gov- ernment and two representing the con- tractor. The chief eugiucer of the eanal commission Is to be chairman of the engineering board. The en- gineering beard will estimate a reason- able time for the completion of the eanal. All the government plant for actual construction work, locluding the railway, is to be placed at the disposal of the contractor aud Is to be malig: tained by the government. Sixty days after the signing of the contract actual work is to begin on the isthmus and the contractor Is to take over all smployees on the Isthmus which the commission does not wish to retain. No American employee Is to work more than eight hours. Chairman Shoots defends the per- cenlage system of payment in his let- ter to Secretary Tuft as follows: “This plan Is being employed In- mast successful corporatiens In the country. “The government will get the benefit of the combined efforts of the best and most experiendsd contractors in the world, each in charge of a department in which ha is a specialist abd co- operating with other specialists. “The government will secure the co- operation of these powerfnl Interests In keeping mechanics of all classes. “The plan offers every Incentive for speedy and economical construction by penalizing extra time and cost and re- wardiug better than contract perform. ance as to either, ! “By retalning control of the work and exercising strict supervision through Its engineering force the gov- ernment will protect Itself against cheap or faulty construction.” Mr. Shonts’ Jetter says that “because of the unprecedented and greatly ex. tended Industrial activity of the time and the consequent violent cempeti- tion for all classes of superintendents, foremen, subcontractors, skilled me- chanics and even ordinary laborers It would take the commission years to se cure men and bulld up departmental colistruction organizations which would equal in efficiency those now controlled by the leading contractors of the Unit- od Btates.” Floods Drewa Many Mexicans.
