The Panama Canal.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,

BALBOA HEIGHTS, C.Z., May 4, 1916.

Notice to Steamship Lines.

1. Until further notice, The Panama Canal will not engage to supply coal at the established rates to other than the following classes of vessels :-

(a) Those transiting the Canal.

(b) Those using either terminal port as a terminus of their established route. (c) Those using either terminal port as a port of call on their regularly estab- lished route. In this case vessels will be supplied with sufficient bunker coal at the established rate to make the next port of call on their estab- lished route where commercial coaling stations are available.

2. It is the policy of The Canal to retain the price of coal at as low a figure as possible, and also to stabilize the price of bunker coal at the Canal during the present unsettled condition of the world's shipping, but, owing to the scarcity of bottoms avail- able to deliver coal at the Canal, it will be necessary to supply bunker coal only to those vessels that are using the Canal and its facilities.
