Notes
[edit]- ↑ The Panama Railroad Company was reestablished as the Panama Canal Company by act of Sept. 6, 1950 (64 Stat. 1038). The Company was abolished and superseded by the Panama Canal Commission (93 Stat. 454).
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).
